Canadian input:
Current models are Santa Fe XL (longer wheelbase and 3rd row seating, 3.3L V6 only engine option) and Santa Fe Sport (shorter wheelbase, no 3rd row option, 2.4L naturally asperated and 2.0L Turbo engine options). Both are available in FWD or AWD trim levels I believe.
I just bought a 2015 Santa Fe Sport Luxury 2.4L. Wanted luxury features but not turbo or V6. Didn't want factory GPS, and did want 17" wheels for smoother ride. This model has it all and then some:
Random surprises for my new Santa Fe Sport Luxury, 2.4L DGi, 6 speed automatic with Shiftronic Manual Shift Mode, 5 years roadside assistance, adjustable height power lift gate, with the smart-key Smart Lift Gate that opens automatically for me without pressing a single button . . and without waving foot under like Escape, rear seats slide forward to enlarge rear storage area, rear seats recline for comfort, rear seat centre armrest with integral cup holders, rear (as well as front) seats are heated, huge panoramic moonroof, heated steering wheel, dual driver seat memory function . . and driver seat automatically moves back for easy ingress and egress when vehicle shut off, voice activated infotainment system (even without OEM nav trim level), rides like a Caddie with 17" wheels, quiet quiet quiet wind, road and engine noise.
