The 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL FWD successfully blends modern styling, impressive comfort, advanced safety technology, and exceptional everyday versatility into one remarkably well-rounded midsize SUV. Designed to comfortably handle everything from daily commuting to family vacations, the Santa Fe delivers a refined driving experience, generous passenger accommodations, and outstanding value that continue to make it one of Hyundai's most popular models.

Whether navigating city streets, loading up for a weekend getaway, or tackling the daily routine, the Santa Fe provides the comfort, flexibility, and confidence today's SUV buyers expect. Why Shoppers Buy the Santa Fe
Hyundai designed the latest-generation Santa Fe to bridge the gap between compact and three-row SUVs by offering generous passenger space, an exceptionally comfortable ride, and abundant cargo capacity without becoming difficult to maneuver. The result is a midsize crossover that's equally comfortable serving as a family vehicle, commuter, or road-trip companion. Unlike many competitors that emphasize sporty handling at the expense of comfort, the Santa Fe prioritizes refinement. Its quiet cabin, composed suspension, supportive seating, and intuitive technology create an ownership experience that feels far more premium than its price point suggests. Another reason buyers continue choosing the Santa Fe is Hyundai's outstanding value proposition. Even in SEL trim, it offers an impressive collection of standard equipment, advanced safety technologies, and premium conveniences that often require expensive option packages on competing SUVs.

The engine is paired with a refined 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering seamless gear changes and responsive acceleration whether navigating city traffic, merging onto the interstate, or cruising comfortably on long highway trips. Together, the powertrain emphasizes refinement, efficiency, and everyday reliability.
Hyundai carefully tuned the Santa Fe's suspension to prioritize ride comfort while maintaining confident handling and excellent highway stability. Responsive steering, impressive chassis rigidity, and outstanding noise isolation combine to create a composed driving experience that feels noticeably more premium than many competitors within the segment. As a front-wheel-drive model, this Santa Fe benefits from reduced drivetrain complexity while providing excellent everyday efficiency and confident road manners. For drivers whose travels are primarily on paved roads, the front-wheel-drive configuration delivers an outstanding balance of economy, comfort, and predictable handling.
Exterior Features
The latest-generation Santa Fe features a bold, contemporary design that gives it a commanding presence without sacrificing everyday practicality. A wide grille, sculpted body lines, distinctive LED lighting, and confident proportions create an upscale appearance that has helped the Santa Fe stand apart in the highly competitive midsize SUV segment. Hyundai carefully balanced style with functionality throughout the exterior. Large door openings make entering and exiting the cabin easy for passengers of all ages, while the wide rear liftgate opening simplifies loading groceries, luggage, sporting equipment, and larger everyday cargo. Clean body lines and aerodynamic sculpting also contribute to reduced wind noise and improved highway efficiency. LED lighting, attractive alloy wheels, heated power exterior mirrors, and thoughtfully integrated roof rails complete an exterior that's equally comfortable pulling into the office, heading out on vacation, or tackling everyday family responsibilities. Interior Features
Inside, the Santa Fe welcomes occupants with a spacious cabin that emphasizes comfort, quality, and intelligent design.

Every major control is thoughtfully positioned, reinforcing Hyundai's reputation for intuitive ergonomics.
Versatility remains one of the Santa Fe's greatest strengths. A generous rear cargo area, low load floor, and 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks allow the interior to quickly adapt for luggage, groceries, sporting equipment, home improvement supplies, or weekend adventures. Whether carrying passengers or maximizing cargo space, the Santa Fe easily adjusts to meet changing needs.
Infotainment & Technology
The Santa Fe's 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system provides intuitive access to entertainment, vehicle settings, and smartphone connectivity through a clean interface that's both responsive and easy to navigate. Hyundai designed the system to minimize distractions while keeping commonly used functions readily accessible during everyday driving.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow compatible smartphones to connect without charging cables, providing seamless access to navigation, music, messaging, podcasts, and compatible apps directly through the touchscreen. Bluetooth hands-free calling, multiple USB charging ports, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and voice-command functionality further enhance convenience while helping drivers remain focused on the road.
