If you want three rows, Hyundai says, you ll be much happier in the Palisade.
The 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe has just arrived in the United States, sporting a dramatic facelift, a revamped cabin, new safety technology, more cargo space, and even new powertrains in the form of a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder and a new hybrid variant. It may not be a complete redesign, but it still represents a major update.
One thing that hasn t changed, however, is the number of seats; the Santa Fe still only offers two rows of seating, with no 2021 return of the three-row Santa Fe XL . During a recent call with media, Hyundai explained why that is.
