However, despite the battery, there's 36.4 cu-ft of cargo space behind the split-folding second-row seats and 72.1 cu-ft of space with everything folded.

Enhance your highway drive and let the standard suite of driver-assist features in a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV lend a hand. Find your middle while driving with the lane-centering system, while blind-spot monitoring lets you know if a vehicle is hidden beside you. Or, if you begin to feel tired, the driver's attention warning lets you know it’s time to take a break. Finally, engage the adaptive cruise control and let the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV help manage your speed and spacing from the vehicle in front of you.
