The gear shifter has been moved to the steering column, similar to the style of luxury vehicles, freeing up space for the center console.
For the first time, the Santa Fe offers a six-seat configuration with a business-class second row, alongside the traditional seven-seat option. Premium amenities include: Nappa leather seats (on the top-of-the-line model), a 12-speaker Bose sound system, dual wireless charging, a digital rearview mirror, and independent sunroofs for both compartments.
