2023 Hyundai Santa Fe dimensions & size guide

Overview

The Hyundai Santa Fe 2023 blends the practicality of a family SUV with the confidence of a genuine adventure vehicle. Sitting between the compact Kona and the flagship Palisade in Hyundai’s line-up, the Santa Fe offers a balanced mix of versatility, style, and capability that makes it a standout choice for families who need space without going full-size. While the Santa Fe has embraced a bold, boxy look to maximise every inch of interior space, it still competes in a crowded class of family haulers, so it’s worth looking at the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe vs. 2020 Toyota Highlander size guide.

Description

From the outside, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2023 gains attention with its bold, sculpted design. The signature front grille and sharp lighting elements create a confident look, while the strong shoulder lines and raised stance hint at its all-terrain potential. Despite its rugged character, there’s an underlying elegance to the design that places it comfortably among premium SUVs. Measuring 4830 mm in length, 1900 mm wide (2206 mm including mirrors), and 1780 mm tall, it strikes an impressive balance between presence and manoeuvrability.

Inside, the environment equally blends comfort, technology and practicality. The seven-seat layout provides flexibility for families, with generous space across all three rows. The 2815 mm wheelbase gives passengers plenty of legroom, while clever cabin design creates a light, airy feel. With five doors and a maximum of seven seats, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2023 is built to handle both everyday duties and long-distance road trips with ease.

Cargo space is another area where the Santa Fe impresses. Even with all seats in place, you get a generous 621 litres of boot capacity, expanding to a substantial 1949 litres when the rear rows are folded. That’s enough room for luggage, sports gear, or even bulky furniture, which is a reminder that the Hyundai Santa Fe 2023 is designed to adapt to whatever you can throw at it. The low load height and wide tailgate opening make it especially practical for families on the move.

Underneath, Hyundai’s engineering gives the Santa Fe impressive composure on and off the road. The 208 mm ground clearance offers genuine SUV capability, while the 1965 kg curb weight provides a stable, planted feel at motorway speeds. Thanks to its refined suspension setup, it glides over bumps and rougher roads, while still remaining agile in tighter spaces. The 11.6-metre turning circle means it’s surprisingly easy to handle in urban environments.

Inside, the cabin quality feels distinctly premium. The dashboard layout is intuitive and uncluttered, with soft-touch materials, smart storage solutions, and advanced technology including a digital instrument display and a large infotainment system. There’s a quiet, composed atmosphere even at higher speeds, which is a hallmark of Hyundai’s recent focus on refinement.

Compared with other Hyundai SUVs, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2023 strikes a middle ground. It’s more spacious and capable than the Kona, yet more compact and agile than the full-size Palisade. It’s ideal for drivers who need generous space and family versatility but still want something manageable for day-to-day use.

Ultimately, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2023 is a confident, all-round SUV that brings practicality, comfort, and presence together in one polished package. It’s as happy loading up for a family adventure as it is navigating tight urban car parks… the perfect bridge between Hyundai’s everyday crossovers and its luxury flagships.
