From among 104 midsize SUVs, the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport has been selected as a BEST 5 All-Around Performance Award winner by the Automotive Science Group.
The honor was granted for the Santa Fe Sport's attainment of the highest total scores in the areas of social, environmental, and economic performance in recognition of Hyundai's ongoing corporate social responsibility leadership, and in acknowledgment of the Santa Fe Sport's overall performance excellence and qualities like the Santa Fe Sport's fuel economy.
Choosing the Winners
ASG's BEST 5 All-Around Performance Award recognizes five automobiles in each class that achieve the highest combined environmental, social, and economic performance.
For the 2016 awards, vehicles from the 2016 model year that are available in the North American market were rated based on assessments conducted by ASG. Thousands of algorithmic calculations and data points were assessed, and ASG's exclusive Automotive Performance Index was used in singling out the winners.
In receiving the award, the Santa Fe Sport has been recognized as a segment leader in the highly competitive SUV market, offering top quality and high value among its peers.
The Legacy Continues
The Santa Fe Sport's reputation for excellence continues in the new 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport.
The new model offers affordability - with pricing from $25,350 MSRP - and brings mighty performance to the road with its standard GDI 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, which generates 185 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque and features dual continuously variable valve timing. An available 2.0L GDI 4-cylinder engine with twin-scroll turbo produces 240 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque beneath the hoods of the Santa Fe Sport models.
The efficient 2017 Santa Fe Sport achieves fuel economy of up to 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.
