Hyundai Santa Fe - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

The plot thickens over generations, as an intriguing consistency plagues the narrative. Santa Fe 1.Generation 2001-2004 and Santa Fe 1.Generation (1. Facelift) 2004-2006 had identical boot spaces of 469 liters, with 1473 liters coming to live with rear seats folded. The Santa Fe 2.Generation 2006-2009, however, pulled up its metaphorical socks and expanded to 528 liters, albeit with rear seats folded, the boot shrunk down to a paltry 894 liters. Armed with a Facelift in 2010-2012, it reclaimed its dignity with a whopping 1582 liters. Santa Fe 3.Generation 2012-2015 took the matter further, sizing up its boot to 534 liters, with an increased storage of 1680 liters. With a Facelift in 2015-2018, the boot space swelled to 585 liters, still maintaining the same volume with seats folded. Kudos, to the aptly named Santa Fe 4.Generation 2018-2020 for gifting the world with an even greater expansion to 625 liters and 1695 liters, and to Santa Fe 4.Generation (1. Facelift) 2020-now for an additional increment of 634 liters and 1704 liters.

The boot space compared to other Hyundai models

While some may dismiss the Santa Fe's growth as just another instance of overindulgence, its boot gluttony is relatively restrained when cast alongside its Hyundai brethren. Indeed, the comparatively petite Hyundai Staria, i10, Kona Elektro, i20 N, i20, Kona N, Kona, i30 N, i30, IONIQ 6, Bayon, i30 N Fastback, i30 Fastback, Nexo, IONIQ 5, i30 Kombi, and Tucson all see their boot spaces bested by the ravenous Santa Fe. Being the champion of boot space in Hyundai lineup, Santa Fe carries itself with a sense of superiority, having earned bragging rights with its 634 liters of storage.

How does the boot space of the Hyundai Santa Fe compare to it's nearest competitors?

The arena of competition between rival vehicles is a ruthless one, where the boot spaces skirmish valiantly to establish their dominance. The Cadillac XT4, with its larger boot space of 637 liters, manages to grab the crown from the Santa Fe by a hair's breadth. The BMW X1, a formidable contender, has a capacity of 540 liters, while the Skoda Kodiaq stuns the onlookers with 835 liters. Conflicts with the VW Tiguan, DS Automobiles DS 7, Ford Kuga, SEAT Tarraco, Citroen C5 Aircross, Volvo XC40, Peugeot 5008, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and the GLB, Audi Q5, Jeep Cherokee, Renault Koleos, KIA Sorento, Alfa Romeo Stelvio, and Land Rover Discovery Sport all showcase that the Santa Fe's boot space is by no means inferior, but neither does it reign supreme. Yet, in the end, whether it finds itself basking in the adoration of victories or bearing the burden of defeat, the Santa Fe nobly embraces its role in the ever-continuing dance of the boot spaces.
