Interior Comparison

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe introduces a bold new design with third-row seating now standard. Its spacious layout includes a flat load floor, fold-flat second and third rows, and a rear cargo area optimized for both grocery runs and gear. Available features like a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated seats, and premium leather-trimmed surfaces make long drives feel first-class.

The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee focuses more on a five-passenger configuration, with premium options available in upper trims. While it’s comfortable and offers solid material quality, you'll need to upgrade to the Grand Cherokee L if you want three rows of seats.
