Hyundai Prices Standard-Wheelbase 2013 Santa Fe Sport from $25,275

 
Hyundai made a minor splash at this year’s New York auto show when it introduced two versions—standard-length Sport and long-wheelbase, uh, LWB—of the redesigned 2013 Santa Fe crossover. Needless to say, we were only expecting a single Santa Fe replacement. Either way, the smaller, five-passenger Sport’s late-summer on-sale date is fast approaching, and today Hyundai released the model’s pricing info. The stretched, seven-passenger Santa Fe doesn’t go on sale until next year, so no pricing for that big boy quite yet.

The new Santa Fe Sport can be had with two engines—the base setup is a 190-hp, direct-injected 2.4-liter four, with Hyundai’s turbocharged 2.0-liter four performing step-up motivational duty. In the Santa Fe, the turbo four makes 264 hp, 12 fewer than the outgoing Fe’s 3.5-liter V-6 that it replaces. Both engines can be paired with front- or all-wheel drive; a six-speed automatic is the only transmission option. Full pricing below:

Sport: $25,275 + $1750 for all-wheel drive
2.4L Popular Equipment package ($950) adds roof rails, fog lights, automatic headlights, heated exterior mirrors, power driver’s seat, heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.2.4L Leather and Premium Equipment package ($2950) requires the Popular Equipment package and adds mirrors with turn indicators; proximity key with push button start; leather seats; power front passenger’s seat; sliding, reclining, and heated second-row seats; dual-zone climate control; color audio display; backup camera.2.4L Technology Package ($2700) requires the Leather and Premium Equipment package, to which it adds navigation with an 8-inch touch screen, premium audio system, panoramic sunroof, heated steering wheel, and rear window sunshades.

Sport 2.0T: $28,525 + $1750 for all-wheel drive, adds 19-inch aluminum wheels, proximity key with push button start, and a trailer prep package over base Sport

2.0T Leather and Premium Equipment package ($2450) adds same equipment as 2.4L Leather and Premium package above.2.0T Technology Package ($2900) requires Leather and Premium Equipment package, adds navigation, Infinity 12-speaker audio system, panoramic sunroof, heated steering wheel, and rear window sunshades.

Pricing for every Santa Fe increases substantially over last year, starting with a $1225 bump for the base four-cylinder Sport, followed by a $2575 leap for the front-drive 2.0T compared with the 2012 V-6 model it replaces. The Santa Fe Sport’s base price now comes in above the Chevy Equinox’s, but it’s still lower than that of Ford’s Edge. Look for the Sport to start trickling into dealerships soon.
