NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS

Overall Safety Rating	Frontal crash ratings: Driver: No Test Passenger: No Test Side crash ratings: Driver: No Test Rear Passenger: No Test Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags. NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING: The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe Review

"Front side airbags and a larger optional V6 are new to Hyundai's SUV for 2003. The base Santa Fe has a 4-cyl engine and front-wheel drive. The GLS and LX previously came only with a 173-hp 2.7-liter V6; at midyear, a 195-hp 3.5-liter V6 became available in the new GLS 3.5 and standard in the LX. V6 models offer front-drive or all-wheel drive without low-range gearing. The 4 cyl comes with manual or automatic transmission, the V6s with automatic only: a 4 speed with the 2.7, a 5 speed with the 3.5. Santa Fe's automatic transmission includes a manual-shift feature. Traction control is standard on the GLS 3.5 and LX, optional on the GLS 2.7. All models have 4-wheel disc brakes. ABS is standard on GLS 3.5 and LX, optional on other models. Front side airbags are standard; they were previously unavailable. Also new for 2003 is an optional in-dash CD changer."
