With that much strength powering your drive, the Santa Fe is your new favourite way to travel. Go boldly where other SUVs fear to tread. Standard multi-terrain control modes adjusts the driving dynamics of your Santa Fe to the situation, so you’re prepared for whatever you encounter along the way.
Its engine is paired with an optional 8-speed wet dual clutch transmission; one clutch controls odd-numbered gears while the other controls even-numbered gears. As a result, power delivery and shifts are quicker than a traditional transmission and it’s typically more fuel efficient too.
Speaking of fuel efficiency, the standard Hyundai Santa Fe trim level earns an estimated 6.8 city/6.9 hwy L/100 km rating* Every trim level is equipped with a 67-litre (17.7-gallon) tank, enabling you to travel farther distances with fewer stops.
How far can you travel? Go ahead and plan the weekend getaway at the cabin you’ve been considering. When properly equipped, the Santa Fe can travel up to an estimated 971 kilometres (603 miles) before placing your exploits on hold to refuel.
Want to increase the pleasure quotient even more? Feel free to hook up some recreational toys; the Santa Fe can handle it. When properly equipped, this mighty and muscular Hyundai can tow up to 2,041 kilograms (4,500 pounds).
Since you’ll be spending most of your time inside the cabin, you’ll want it to be a comfortable environment with plenty of convenient features. Fortunately, the Hyundai Santa Fe ensures everyone on board will have the space and the amenities they need. Even the Santa Fe’s base trim proves that it’s anything but basic.
You’re the captain of your capers, so you should be treated as such. The strategic integration of standard and available amenities ensures you’ll be cozy behind the wheel. Find the perfect seat position with 8-way power-adjustable capabilities, then choose to quickly warm up or cool down thanks to heated and ventilated front seats.
Do you dream of breathing fresher air? The standard dual zone automatic temperature control system features a CleanAir Ionizer that traps and eliminates harmful particles, such as allergens. For added comfort, the second row features roof-mounted air vents to extend that comfort to everyone on board.
The cabin of the Santa Fe is just as versatile as it is flexible. The 60/40 split fold-flat second-row bench seat make it easy to access the third row. However, for the most convenient loading, consider replacing these seats with optional Captain’s chairs.
The Hyundai Santa Fe features 4,276 litres (151 cubic feet) of cabin volume. This space is divided not only between the three rows of seats, but it also includes cargo space. So, how is that space distributed, and is there enough room to transport your adventure equipment? Let’s take a look. . .

| Second Row | 1,030 mm (40.6 in.) | 1,055 mm (41.5 in.) | 413 L (14.6 cu. ft.) behind row |
The Santa Fe also comes ready to help when it’s time to stow and go. Its standard underfloor storage tray can hold snacks, your hiking apparatus, first aid kit, rain gear, and so much more.
Easily access the cargo hold with the standard proximity-activated smart liftgate. As long as you have the key fob in your purse or pocket, the liftgate will automatically open upon detection. This prevents the need to put down objects to open the liftgate. You can also use this function with the spacious cabin size to lay out the spread for your next tailgate party or sit on it and stargaze during your next camping adventure.
Just because you occasionally escape the pavement and head off-road doesn’t mean you have to forego modern technologies. The Hyundai Santa Fe comes loaded with tech systems that keep you connected, informed, and entertained while on the go. Beyond that, there are smart technologies that help protect you and yours no matter where you wander.
Central to a pleasurable driving experience is your infotainment hub. In the Hyundai Santa Fe, the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen makes it easier to access and view your music, maps, and other info. Among its many standard features are:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™
- HD Radio™
- SiriusXM®
Want to make even more of your squad’s next car-aoke session and help the kilometres musically melt away? The available 12-speaker Bose premium audio system features Quantum Logic Surround® technology for an immersive acoustic experience.
You can be confident every time you take the wheel thanks to the Hyundai Santa Fe’s equipped driver-assistance systems. Hyundai SmartSense™ comes standard on every trim of the Santa Fe and includes:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction-Turning Detection
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Lane Keeping Assist/Lane Following Assist 2
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go
You’ll also benefit from standard Driver Attention Warning, Safe Exit Assist, and Rear Occupant Alert, ensuring that you and yours are well-protected from Point A to Point B. Once you reach your destination, let the Santa Fe do the parking. The available Remote Smart Parking Assist can handle it—even without your being inside the vehicle!

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is considered a legend. Still, the Hyundai Santa Fe is giving Jeep a run for its money—and its moniker. With its standard three rows, the Santa Fe can accommodate your full crew more easily and will keep the party going longer while the Grand Cherokee stops at the pump. Turns out, the Santa Fe is redefining the word legendary.

These two midsize SUVs each have seating for seven, although riders will be more comfortable in the Hyundai. It provides additional legroom for the driver and copilot and extra wiggle room for second- and third-row passengers too.
