Explore 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Interior Features in San Antonio, TX

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe interior is designed for days that involve more than one destination. Its three rows give passengers room to come along, while flexible seating and storage help accommodate everything from grocery bags to weekend luggage. Available comfort upgrades and connected technology make the cabin a practical place to spend time, whether you are commuting across San Antonio or heading out of town.

At Red McCombs Hyundai, we can help you explore the Santa Fe and find a configuration that fits your routine. Here is a closer look at the interior features worth considering as you shop.

Seating for Your Plans

The Santa Fe offers six- and seven-passenger configurations, so you can choose a layout based on how you use your SUV. A second-row bench provides a place for an additional passenger, while available captain’s chairs give those riders individual seats. The available second-row captain’s chairs include power-fold-and-dive, power-reclining, and power-tilting functions. These adjustments can help passengers settle in for longer trips and make it easier to adapt the cabin when your plans change. The second row also offers power release, while the third row has a 50/50 sinking and folding design.

Available seating materials include:

• H-Tex®
• Leather trim
• Nappa leather

Each brings a different look and feel to the cabin, giving you another way to select a Santa Fe that suits your preferences.

Space to Stretch Out

A comfortable ride starts with enough room for the people on board. The Santa Fe provides the following legroom:

• Front row: 44.4 inches
• Second row: 42.3 inches
• Third row: 30 inches

Those measurements give you a useful starting point when deciding where everyone will sit. Headroom is also worth considering, particularly if taller passengers regularly ride with you:

• Front row: 41.1 inches
• Second row: 39.6 inches
• Third row: 37.7 inches

When you visit us, try each seating position for yourself. It is a practical way to see how the cabin works for your family, especially if you regularly carry passengers in the back.

Cargo Room That Adapts

The Santa Fe gives you options for balancing passenger seating with space for your belongings:

• Behind the third row: 14.6 cubic feet
• Behind the second row: 40.5 cubic feet
• Behind the front seats: 79.6 cubic feet

Keep all three rows in use for an everyday trip, or fold the rear seats when you need space for larger bags and outdoor gear. That flexibility comes in handy when a school pickup turns into a stop for supplies or when a weekend trip calls for extra luggage. An underfloor storage tray gives you another place to organize items you want to keep out of the main cargo area. The available hands-free smart liftgate can also open automatically, helping you access the back when your hands are full.

Comfort for the Road Ahead

Available heated and ventilated front seats let you choose a cabin equipped for different weather. Ventilation can be especially welcome during a warm San Antonio afternoon, while heat adds comfort on cooler mornings. Available heated rear seats give second-row passengers their own comfort feature.

The available power-adjustable driver’s seat includes lumbar adjustment, and an available memory system can recall the driver’s preferred seating position. A power-adjustable front passenger seat is also available. For an extra touch of comfort, look for the available driver’s Relaxation Seat with a one-touch setting and leg cushion extension. Dual automatic temperature control lets the driver and front passenger adjust their settings, while vents in the second and third rows help distribute air farther back in the cabin.

Storage and Everyday Convenience

The Santa Fe’s two-level center armrest opens from either direction, making its storage accessible from the front or rear. It is a useful spot for the smaller items that tend to travel with you, such as sunglasses, charging accessories, and other daily essentials. Available manual rear side sunshades help manage sunlight for passengers in the back. An available heated steering wheel adds another comfort option for the driver, and a tilt-and-telescopic steering column makes it easier to find a preferred driving position. For a brighter, more open cabin, the Santa Fe offers a sunroof. A dual-pane sunroof is also available, giving you another feature to compare as you explore configurations.

Displays and Smartphone Connectivity

The Santa Fe offers a 12.3-inch touchscreen that puts entertainment and vehicle functions within view. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ allow compatible smartphones to connect without a cable, so you can access supported apps during your drive.

Available driver displays include:

• 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster: Presents driving information in front of the driver
• 12-inch head-up display: Projects information onto the windshield

Dynamic Voice Recognition and steering-wheel-mounted audio and phone controls provide additional ways to interact with features while driving. Bluetooth® hands-free calling is also available for compatible devices.

Power and Entertainment for Passengers

Devices are part of many trips, and the Santa Fe provides several ways to keep them powered. Available features include:

• Dual wireless charging for supported devices
• High-power USB charging ports in the front and rear
• Third-row USB ports
• A 115-volt power outlet
• Two 12-volt outlets, located in the front and cargo area

For music and other audio, an available Bose® premium system features 12 speakers. Rear Seat Quiet Mode offers another listening option when passengers in back would prefer a quieter ride. Available over-the-air updates and Bluelink+ connected services add to the Santa Fe’s technology offerings.

Interior Details That Make a Difference

Small details can shape the feel of a drive. Available ambient interior lighting adds a subtle visual accent, while LED interior lighting helps illuminate the cabin. Solar-control front glass and rear privacy glass provide additional ways to manage light. Acoustic-laminated front side glass is another thoughtful touch for the cabin. An available auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink® adds convenience, while an available camera-based rearview mirror offers a different way to see what is behind the vehicle. When parking or maneuvering, available Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor features provide additional camera views. These systems are aids and do not replace checking your surroundings.
