2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Exterior
During its lifetime, the Hyundai Santa Fe has received many upgrades; but for 2022, the previous year’s design has been carried forward with no change to the base SE and SEL trims. However, a new XRT trim for 2022 gives it a more rugged look. Some distinctive touches include XRT fancy wheels and side moldings, side steps, a roof rack, and lots of black exterior trim.
