The Hyundai SantaFe has earned a 2019 Wards 10 Best Interior award from a field of 32 vehicle nominees with new or significantly redesigned interiors. Vehicles were evaluated by eight Wards editors in Southfield, MI, and scored on aesthetics, comfort, fit-and-finish, material quality and ergonomics. While value is a consideration, there is no price cap for entries.
"The $39,905 SantaFe Ultimate 2.0T AWD grade we tested is an incredible value," said Christie Truett, senior editor, Wards. "It has better materials and fit-and-finish, plus a more progressive interior design, than some competing midsize CUVs costing thousands more. Our editors especially loved its door speaker grilles with their raised, rock-like appearance, as well as the CUV’s tweed-like headliner. What’s more, the Santa Fe comes standard with an array of advanced-driver-assistance system (ADAS) technologies oftentimes optional, even in six-figure luxury models."
With sales of more than 1.6 million units, the SantaFe represents Hyundai’s strong SUV heritage and continues its success story with the all-new 2019 model. The fourth generation model builds on this success offering an all-new family-oriented interior, loaded with practical cutting-edge technologies and bold exterior looks.

The SantaFe interior design combines premium quality with a roomy layout featuring a strong horizontal design theme and enhanced visibility. Premium touches such as the layered, three-dimensional instrument panel and contrasting seat stitching ensures a high level of luxury within the cabin. The SantaFe’s larger daylight opening enhances the interior’s feeling of openness with generous amounts of natural light.
