"Its infotainment system, on the other hand, proved to be one of the best ones available and is user-friendly"-MotorTrend
The interior of Santa Fe is further refined from the previous generations. Inside, the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe boasts a combination of upscale materials, ergonomics and attractive design, intuitive layout of controls, making it one of the most comfortable and easy to live with three-row SUVs in the segment. The Limited models adorn a redesigned center stack joined by a new matte-finish wood-like trim.
The Santa Fe SE and Limited are three-row SUVs, with SE able to accommodate 7 while Limited models have second-row captain's chair and seating for six. The first and second row has generous headroom and legroom with comfortable seats. The third row is best reserved for kids, as it is short on legroom. The crossover SUV has standard cloth upholstery, though you can opt for heated, ventilated, and leather seats. The main highlights of the interiors include Spacious and foldable second-row seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an 8-way power-adjustable driver's seat along with a tilt and telescopic steering wheel.

By comparison, the Santa Fe SUV has bigger dimensions than most others in the segment. Though Honda Pilot is a popular choice and also got a refresh, making it a competitive all-round choice. Though the third-row seats aren't spacious, the interiors are good enough for the segment. Like many mid-cycle updates, Hyundai has added more available technology in Santa Fe.
2017 Santa Fe Infotainment System
The 2017 Santa Fe comes standard with a 5-inch touch screen, a rearview camera, satellite radio, a USB port, and Bluetooth. Hyundai added a seven-inch touchscreen with Android Auto compatibility, in the 2017 options list. Available infotainment features include a navigation system, a 7- or 8-inch touch screen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Blue Link telematics.
Hyundai’s touch-screen infotainment system has proved to be one of the best available and is user-friendly. The intuitive layout of controls including both physical buttons and touchscreen is easy to use.

Getting that cargo in and out is a simple matter with the available "smart" hands-free rear liftgate. The liftover height is reasonable enough to not strain your back while loading/unloading heavy items. At last, Hyundai Santa Fe is offering decent specs in the cargo segment but Honda Pilot offers more cargo capacity.
