Hyundai Santa Fe's New Interior Caught by Spy Photographers
Spy photographers have run into the new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, and this time they managed to get photos of the cabin.
The Korean automaker is already teasing the next-generation Santa Fe, which will bow at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show in March. Expected to grow in size, the new Santa Fe will likely have a variant with seating for eight, an increase from the current third-row model that is capable of carrying seven. The move is to make the Santa Fe better positioned to compete with Toyota and Honda’s offerings in the segment, while also diversifying Hyundai’s lineup as it prepares to add even more SUVs to its portfolio.

The Hyundai Santa Fe prototype caught on camera is still heavily camouflaged, but we do get to see some pieces of the interior, including the infotainment screen. Compared to the current Santa Fe, the center console looks to be less cluttered and more streamlined, giving it an overall cleaner appearance. The vents also have a horizontal orientation rather than vertical, giving the impression that the cabin is wider.
Expect more details on the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe to be released in the coming weeks, leading up to its unveiling.
