The 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited is the premium, long-wheelbase version of Hyundai's midsize SUV, designed specifically for families needing three rows of seating. Unlike the 5-passenger "Sport" model, the Limited trim comes standard with second-row captain's chairs, reducing total seating capacity to six but providing a more upscale, "first-class" interior feel. Performance and Capability The Limited trim is powered by a robust V6 engine designed for hauling and towing. Engine: 3.3L Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) V6 producing 290 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque. Transmission: Standard 6-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC. Drivetrain: Available in both Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD). Towing: Properly equipped, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it competitive with larger SUVs like the Toyota Highlander. Fuel Economy: Estimated at 18 city / 25 highway MPG for FWD models, and 18 city / 24 highway MPG for AWD. Key Features by Trim Configuration The Limited includes all features from the GLS trim's "Premium Package" as standard, such as a power liftgate and blind-spot detection. Category Standard Limited Features Interior Leather seating, 2nd-row captain's chairs, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control. Heated 2nd-row seats, ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel. Tech 4.3-inch touchscreen, rearview camera, Blue Link telematics, blind-spot alert. 8-inch touchscreen with navigation, 12-speaker Infinity surround sound. Exterior 19-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, roof rails, side mirror turn signals. Panoramic sunroof, Xenon HID headlights, LED taillights. Practicality and Space Seating: Comfortably seats six adults, though the third row is best suited for children due to limited legroom. Cargo: Offers 13.5 cubic feet behind the third row, which expands to 80 cubic feet when all rear seats are folded flat. Access: Includes a hands-free "Smart Liftgate" that opens automatically when you stand near the rear with the key fob. Market Value and Reliability Pros: Reviewers from Edmunds and Kelley Blue Book praise its smooth V6 power, quiet cabin, and extensive feature list for the price. Longevity: Most well-maintained units are expected to last between 150,000 and 200,000 miles
