The new Santa Fe has a boxy appearance, giving off the impression of a large SUV, however, it’s not much larger than its predecessor. It measures 190.2 inches long, 74.8 inches wide and 67.7 inches tall, which is only 1.8 inches longer and 1.4 inches taller than the outgoing model and the same width.

The slight increase in size has led to added cargo capacity inside the Santa Fe, with 40.5 cubic feet of space behind the second row. The liftgate opening width is 50.2 inches, which is 5.7 inches larger than the previous Santa Fe, making it very useful for carrying items from stores like Ikea and Costco.

Multiple trim levels will be available in the US, with wheel sizes ranging from 18 to 21 inches. Although the test car had the smaller wheels, the design looks cool and modern, but larger wheels are needed to fill out the generous wheel wells. US models will also have tinted rear windows, unlike the Korean-market SUV seen in these photos. The US will also get the impressive LED lights.
