Safety - What the Auto Press Says

The federal government gives the 2009 Santa Fe top five-star scores for all seating positions in both frontal and side crash tests. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 2008 model a "Top Safety Pick."

  • "Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags." -- Consumer Guide
  • "There are no safety standards governing injury to third-row passengers in a rear-end crash, so you're gambling on the good faith and sound engineering of the car companies when you choose a three-row SUV of modest size." -- USA Today
