Priced at just $12,900 with over 100,000 miles of proven road life, this Santa Fe SEL Plus offers a compelling combination of features, comfort, and Hyundai's well-documented long-term dependability — all within easy reach of Madison and the surrounding area.
 

About This 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL Plus

This 2019 Santa Fe SEL Plus comes in at 103,010 miles — a number that sounds high until you understand what Hyundai buyers already know: these engines routinely go 150,000 to 200,000 miles with basic maintenance. For a buyer looking to get maximum value out of a compact SUV purchase, this mileage range puts you squarely in the sweet spot where the original owner absorbed the depreciation hit, but plenty of reliable life remains. The AWD system makes this a practical year-round choice for Wisconsin winters, and the SEL Plus trim means you're not settling for a stripped-down base model.
 

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Hyundai's 2.4-liter four-cylinder GDI engine, producing 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual control, this powertrain delivers smooth, confident acceleration whether you're merging onto the Beltline, cruising Highway 12 out toward Sauk City, or hauling the family up to the Dells for a weekend trip.

The GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) technology improves fuel efficiency and throttle response compared to older port-injection engines, and real-world drivers typically see 22-26 MPG in mixed driving. The 8-speed transmission is one of the highlights of the fifth-generation Santa Fe — it shifts quickly and intuitively, keeping the engine in its power band without hunting for gears on highway grades. The AWD system provides added traction confidence on icy Wisconsin roads without requiring any driver input — it distributes torque automatically as conditions demand.
 

Hyundai Santa Fe SEL Plus Features and Interior

The SEL Plus trim sits above the base SEL and brings a meaningful step up in comfort and technology. Expect heated front seats, a power driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a larger 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Bluetooth, USB inputs, and a rearview camera are all standard.
 

Safety Technology on the SEL Plus

The 2019 Santa Fe SEL Plus also includes Hyundai's SmartSense safety suite, which bundles forward collision avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, and high beam assist into the package. These aren't features you typically find at this price point in a used SUV market, and they add genuine peace of mind for daily commuters and highway drivers alike.

The cabin itself is well-proportioned for a compact SUV — comfortable for five adults, with enough rear legroom to satisfy taller passengers. Cargo space behind the rear seats is a practical 35.9 cubic feet, expanding to 71.3 cubic feet when the seats are folded flat.
 

Hyundai Santa Fe Reliability and Ownership

The 2019 Santa Fe benefits from a full redesign that year, moving to a longer wheelbase and a more refined platform. Consumer Reports, J.D. Power, and longtime Hyundai owners consistently rate this generation of Santa Fe favorably for reliability. The 2.4-liter engine in particular has a strong track record — it's a naturally aspirated unit without the added complexity of a turbocharger, which reduces potential maintenance headaches over the long haul.

Common ownership costs to be aware of at this mileage include routine items like spark plugs, coolant flush, and potentially brake work — all normal for a 100K-mile vehicle. Hyundai's original 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty has expired at this point, but that's priced into the asking figure. Many buyers in this range choose to purchase a third-party extended service contract for added protection, which Middleton Auto Mart can discuss with you directly.
