2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Preferred AWD with Trend Package: Modern Versatility for Northern Michigan

Imagine starting your morning in the quiet, rural village of Kingsley, MI, where the air is crisp and the roads are just beginning to wake up. Whether you are heading out for a day of fishing or simply navigating the daily school run, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Preferred AWD with Trend Package is designed to turn every local errand into a premium experience. This SUV strikes the perfect balance between sophisticated city style and the rugged capability required for life in the Grand Traverse region.

As you depart from the peaceful shores near Peshawbestown, MI, you will immediately appreciate how this vehicle handles the transition from scenic coastal byways to more demanding terrain. The Nocturne Gray exterior provides a sleek, professional silhouette that looks just as at home parked at a community event as it does navigating the rolling landscapes of Northern Michigan. Inside, the Beige interior offers a bright, airy sanctuary, making even the longest commutes feel like a moment of relaxation before the busy day begins.

Refined Performance and All-Wheel Drive Capability

Under the hood, the 2023 Santa Fe is powered by a Smartstream 2.5L I-4 engine featuring port and direct injection. Delivering 191HP, this aluminum engine block is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that includes a lock-up feature and overdrive for smooth, efficient power delivery. For those living in the gently rolling terrain of Garfield Township, MI, the Automatic full-time AWD system provides essential peace of mind, especially when the lake-effect weather begins to shift the road conditions.

Drivers can customize their experience using the Drive Mode Select (DMS), which allows you to toggle between drivetrain modes to suit the current environment. The mechanical foundation is built for comfort, utilizing an Independent front suspension with struts and a Multi-link rear suspension, supported by gas-pressurized shock absorbers. This setup ensures that whether you are traversing paved highways or well-maintained rural roads, the ride remains composed. Efficiency is also a priority, with an Auto stop-start engine feature helping to manage fuel consumption during trips into town, while the electronic transfer case shift manages power distribution seamlessly.

Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity

Staying connected while exploring the beauty of Northern Michigan is effortless in the Santa Fe. The cockpit features a 10.2 inch primary display with a responsive touchscreen, serving as the hub for your media and vehicle settings. With Apple CarPlay & Android Auto smart device mirroring, you can easily access your favorite playlists, podcasts, or contacts directly through the vehicle's interface. For those who prefer integrated solutions, the Navigation system includes Blue Link Guidance turn-by-turn navigation, ensuring you never lose your way when visiting new trailheads or local markets.

The tech suite is rounded out with Bluetooth handsfree wireless device connectivity and Wireless streaming, allowing passengers to enjoy audio without the clutter of cables. However, with 4 USB ports available, everyones devices can stay charged throughout the journey. The driver stays informed via an Analog instrumentation display with a 4.20-inch gauge cluster display, while the Voice activated audio controls allow you to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

Premium Interior Comfort and Versatility

The interior of the Santa Fe is a masterclass in functional luxury, featuring Leatherette front seat upholstery in a sophisticated Beige. The Heated Front Bucket Seats and Heated steering wheel are indispensable features for our local winters, providing immediate warmth on those frosty mornings. The Power driver seat includes 2-way power lumbar support, ensuring ergonomic comfort for long drives across the county. The Trend Package enhances the cabin with Metal-look interior accents and a Leather steering wheel, elevating the overall aesthetic.

Passenger comfort is equally prioritized with Dual-zone front climate control and Rear under seat climate control ducts, allowing everyone to find their ideal temperature. The 60-40 folding rear seats feature a manual fore and aft adjustment, providing the flexibility to prioritize legroom or cargo space as needed. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the First and second-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof brings the natural beauty of the Michigan sky right into the cabin. Additional conveniences like the Power Liftgate, Remote keyless entry, and Smart device remote start make loading gear or pre-warming the vehicle easier than ever.

Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount in a family-oriented SUV, and the 2023 Santa Fe comes equipped with a robust suite of protective technologies. The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) includes detection for pedestrians, cyclists, and junction-turning, acting as an extra set of eyes in busy intersections. For highway driving, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Follow Assist (LFA) work together to maintain a safe distance and keep the vehicle centered in its lane.

The Active blind spot system and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) are particularly helpful when navigating crowded parking lots or backing out of long rural driveways. Parking is made simpler with Rear parking sensors and a Rear View Monitor (RVM). The vehicle also prioritizes the safety of all occupants with Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) and a total of 6 airbags, including Curtain first and second-row overhead airbags. For steep descents, the Downhill Brake Control (DBC) and Hill Assist Control (HAC) provide controlled braking and prevent rollback, ensuring confidence on any incline.

Sophisticated Exterior Design

The Santa Fes Nocturne Gray paint is complemented by 18-inch machined alloy wheels with painted accents, giving it a modern and rugged stance. The exterior design is highlighted by a Chrome grille and LED low and high beam headlights, which provide exceptional visibility during night drives through wooded areas. The LED daytime running lights and LED brake lights ensure you are seen by other drivers, while the Remote activated perimeter approach lighting with puddle lights provides a welcoming glow as you approach the vehicle at night.

Functional design elements include Roof rails for additional gear transport and Deep tinted windows for privacy and solar protection. The Body-colored front and rear bumpers are accented with Black and chrome inserts, adding a touch of elegance to the SUV's profile. Even the side mirrors are thoughtfully designed, featuring Integrated turn signal indicators and a Heated function to clear frost and fog quickly. A Rear lip spoiler adds a final sporty touch to the vehicle's aerodynamic silhouette.
