How Much Can the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Tow?
There are many reasons to consider buying the new 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe. It has lots of room, a comfortable interior, and handles very well on the road. Plus, it has some good towing chops, in case you want to bring your big toys on your next road trip. If you need your next Hyundai SUV to pull some stuff for you, this guide will tell you everything you need to know about the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe and its towing features.
Horsepower and Torque
The base Hyundai Santa Fe comes with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine that puts out 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. This will allow you to tow up to 1,650 pounds. (With trailer brakes, this increases to 2,000 pounds.)
The other engine option is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder unit that will give you 235 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This is the model that you will want to go with for the best towing capacity; when properly equipped, it can tow up to 3,500 pounds, which will allow you to pull your favorite trailer or small camper.
Towing Tools
In addition to a power engine, the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe also comes with a variety of other amenities to help with towing. Its innovative SHIFTRONIC® eight-speed automatic transmission makes every gear shift a smooth one. You will also get a performance front suspension that utilizes MacPherson struts with a gas-filled damper and stabilizer bar. Plus, the performance multi-link rear suspension has a gas shock absorber, as well as a stabilizer bar.
While front-wheel drive is standard in this model, you can also opt for all-wheel drive, which will send torque to the wheels that need it most. That way, you will always be able to maintain great control over whatever you’re towing.
