Yes they are, Hyundai hasnt changed the motor at all, still the same ole POS 2.0L with 142 Hp, and the 2.7L v6 santa fe motor LOL.....

I work for Hyundai as a mech., and they are POS. But that is what makes me money. I would never buy a Hyundai, cheaply made, motors are very sensitive and weak, and rattle and clunk like crazy.

Just my .02 cents.
