Other design elements include 21-inch alloy wheels, but these are likely to only be available on the topmost trims.
The boxy design up front continues throughout, with angular wheel arches and a boxy side profile that Hyundai says gives it a distinct silhouette that doubles in providing best-in-class utility.
Just how much cargo space there is remains a mystery, but we know that the Santa Fe is a three-row crossover again. The move comes after the last generation dropped the three-row configuration to make space in the lineup for the Palisade. The new car has grown in size, which could threaten Palisade sales. The second- and third-row seats can be folded to maximize cargo space when not in use.
“With its longer wheelbase, roomy interior, and terrace-like tailgate space, the new Santa Fe leans into its SUV strengths to offer more versatility than ever before as well as a premium customer experience,” said SangYup Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Hyundai Global Design Center.
