May 21st, 2025 by

Santa Fe Technology  Interior
 

With standard three-row seating, a spacious interior, and numerous well-designed features, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe interior is perfectly equipped for short trips around Cincinnati or longer trips that take you and your family to Mason and beyond. In this overview from Columbia Hyundai, we’ll see what the Santa Fe offers and take a look at the Hyundai Santa Fe seating capacity, Hyundai Santa Fe cargo space, and more. 

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Interior Dimensions

The Hyundai Santa Fe seating capacity is sufficient to accommodate up to seven passengers across the lineup except for the Calligraphy trim, which can only seat six. Passenger volume is a generous 152.0 cubic feet, and that translates into the Hyundai Santa Fe interior dimensions you see below: 

  • Front / second / third-row headroom (w/o sunroof): 41.1 inches / 40.6 inches / 37.7 inches (SE, SEL)
  • Front / second / third-row headroom (w/ sunroof): 40.2 inches / 39.6 inches / 37.7 inches (XRT, Limited, Calligraphy)
  • Front / second / third-row shoulder room: 59.5 inches / 58.1 inches / 53.5 inches
  • Front / second / third-row hip room: 56.5 inches / 54.9 inches / 42.7 inches
  • Front / second / third-row legroom: 44.4 inches / 42.3 inches / 30.0 inches

In addition to the generous seating dimensions you just read, the cavernous interior of the 2025 Santa Fe also permits a large amount of storage. Check out the Hyundai Santa Fe cargo space below, and consider how easily you can store everything after you visit your favorite Fairfield big box store:

  • Cargo capacity, behind front-row seats: 79.6 cubic feet
  • Cargo capacity, behind second-row seats: 40.5 cubic feet
  • Cargo capacity, behind third-row seats: 14.6 cubic feet

The Hyundai Santa Fe cargo space works just as well to store camping equipment or anything else you and your family might need for outdoor recreation. Think about this and all of the adventures your new Santa Fe can take you on when you test-drive one with us in Cincinnati!

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Interior: Seating Features & Upholstery

Since we’ve considered the Hyundai Santa Fe seating capacity above, let’s take a closer look at what kinds of seating arrangements are available. Except for the Calligraphy trim, all Santa Fe models have a second-row bench seat with 60/40 split fold-flat seats with recline and adjustable head restraints. In its place, the Santa Fe Calligraphy has two captain’s chairs instead. All trims have 50/50 sinking/folding third-row seats, and heated rear seats are only available on the Limited and Calligraphy trims. 

Upholstery options vary but generally feature synthetic materials like H-Tex™ till you get to the Santa Fe Limited, which has standard leather-trimmed seating. See below for a complete list of available upholstery materials and colors by trim:
