Trunk dimensions Hyundai Santa Fe

The Hyundai Santa Fe 2022 offers a trunk with a volume of about 22.4 cu ft with the rear seats upright and up to 67.1 cu ft with the seats folded down.

The rear seat is split 60:40, allowing flexibility when transporting luggage. The interior design is modern and functional, with a low loading edge that makes loading and unloading easier.

The trunk dimensions vary slightly within the model range, but the basic shape remains rectangular, supporting optimal space utilization.

Typical features include the practical arrangement of tie-down hooks and storage compartments that provide additional storage options. Equipment may vary depending on the model variant but remains overall at a high level.

Model Information

The Hyundai Santa Fe is a mid-size SUV known for its versatility and comfort. The latest series offers a modern design, advanced technologies, and a variety of safety features.

The Santa Fe targets families and active individuals who value space and comfort both in city traffic and on longer trips. Equipment includes an intuitive infotainment system, high-quality interior materials, and a range of powertrain options, including hybrid variants.

Variants of the Same Series

The Hyundai Santa Fe is offered in various trim levels, including the standard version, the sport version, and the hybrid version.

However, there are no other body styles like sedan or convertible that could be confused with the Santa Fe, as it is exclusively designed as an SUV. The different trim levels mainly differ in terms of equipment and available technologies.

Yearly Differences

The Hyundai Santa Fe has undergone several model changes over the years that have affected the body dimensions and trunk volume. The most significant changes occurred in 2018 with the introduction of the fourth generation, which brought a larger body and increased trunk volume.

Previously, in the third generation (2013-2018), the trunk was smaller and offered less flexibility. These changes were made to better meet customer needs and strengthen competitiveness in the SUV segment.

Direct Competitors

In the same price range and size as the Hyundai Santa Fe are models like the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, and Toyota RAV4. The Ford Edge offers a trunk volume of about 21.3 cu ft, which is somewhat less than the Santa Fe.

The Nissan Murano has a volume of about 49.4 cu ft with the seats folded down, making it competitive in this regard. The Toyota RAV4 also offers a trunk volume of about 38.8 cu ft, making it an attractive alternative but not quite matching the flexibility of the Santa Fe.

More Affordable Alternatives

For buyers seeking similar trunk volume at a lower price, models like the Dacia Duster or Skoda Kodiaq could be considered. The Dacia Duster offers a trunk volume of about 16.9 cu ft, which is smaller but very attractive in its price range.

The Skoda Kodiaq, on the other hand, offers a trunk volume of up to 29.5 cu ft, making it an excellent more affordable alternative that still provides plenty of space. Both models are worth considering when budget is a decisive factor.

Trunk volume Hyundai Santa Fe

Trunk Volume

The Hyundai Santa Fe offers a very generous cargo volume. Manufacturer specification: 21.9 cu ft, independently measured values: 20.3 cu ft.

Averaging these figures results in about 21.1 cu ft, which is approximately 42.4% larger than an average car. The trunk accounts for about 7.6% of the vehicle volume (LxWxH/2), slightly above average.

With the rear seats folded down, the volume reaches up to the window sill at 37.1 cu ft (independent measurement) and when fully loaded up to the roof at around 1,942–69 cu ft (manufacturer / independent values). Practical: behind the second row up to the roof about 34.4 cu ft (depending on measurement method).

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

Dimensions: 190.2 in length, 74.8 in width, 67.7 in height. Compared to an average car, the Santa Fe is 10.6 in longer (≈5.9%), 2 in wider (≈2.7%), and 6.3 in taller (≈10%). This keeps it within the mid-size SUV class.

Regarding parking: The vehicle is about 6.7 in shorter and 23.6 in narrower than a typical parking space, so parking in standard spots is generally well possible.

The greater width compared to average makes tight parking garages or narrow spaces more challenging; the increased vehicle height should be noted in some underground garages.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

The shape of the rear (nearly vertical tailgate) and the high, wide opening facilitate loading bulky items. The tailgate is electric and sensor-controlled (standard on the PHEV) and can be opened automatically via keyless access.

Loading height: loading edge 29.9 in above the road – this makes lifting heavy items onto the floor quite strenuous.

Practical points:

  • Nearly flat loading floor after folding down the rear seats – good for long items and rolling suitcases.
  • Variable usable volume: 575–69 cu ft depending on seat configuration and loading height; up to 22 beverage crates possible (manufacturer specification/tests).
  • Second row: four individual seats, electrically foldable (comfortable but slow). Third row: manual, limited volume of 6.7 cu ft behind the folded-up third row.
  • No storage space under the loading floor; the luggage cover must be operated manually and cannot be stored under the floor.
  • Interior lighting is sparse (one lamp) and poorly positioned — poor night handling possible.

Weight-related: curb weight 2,150 kg, payload 585 kg. This limits the combined load capacity of passengers and cargo — with full occupancy, fewer reserves remain for heavy loads.

General Model Information

Familiarity: The Hyundai Santa Fe is established in the mid-size SUV class and is often cited as a spacious family vehicle.

Special features: versatile, large trunk, standard electrically operated tailgate (PHEV), sensor-controlled opening, fully electric folding function of the second row, flexible seat configurations (up to six seats in some variants).

Characteristics / Weaknesses: moderate interior lighting in the cargo area, no underfloor storage solution, high loading edge (29.9 in), and partly slow electric adjustment of rear seats. The luggage cover cannot be stored.

Price-performance ratio: Based on space offering and standard equipment, the Santa Fe shows good space and comfort for buyers who value variability and cargo volume. Ergonomic limitations (loading edge, lighting, lack of storage solutions) slightly reduce everyday usability.

Competitor models: Typical competitors are other mid-size SUVs focusing on space and family use (e.g., VW Tiguan Allspace, Toyota RAV4, Kia Sorento). The Santa Fe plays to its strengths mainly in cargo volume and versatility.
