The boxy styling, by itself, is a standing example of this. This is the first major change to the car’s appearance ever since there was a complete makeover in 2018.

Inside the Hyundai Santa Fe, the manufacturer has decided to opt for a two-row seating arrangement. However, it will be possible to fold the second row to accommodate a third row.

There will additionally be traditional buttons and knobs that can be used in combination with capacitive-touch keys. The air vent will stretch from one end of the dashboard to the other.
The interiors will be designed using sustainable materials.

The SUV will also house luxury accents like embroidered Nappa leather and wood trim.
