XRT models offer a sport upholstery combination to liven up the cabin. The Santa Calligraphy steps into luxury territory with its quilted leather upholstery.
Ambient lighting is optional or available on most Tucson models. It is standard on the new Santa Fe Limited and Calligraphy trims.
The Tucson SE has an 8-inch touchscreen. This is upgraded to a 10.25-inch touchscreen in Tucson XRT and higher models. In the Santa Fe, a large 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard across the lineup. Plus it offers the Hyundai rear seat quiet mode to help babies sleep.
The larger Santa Fe has a standard hands-free power liftgate. It also has available sunshades which are not on the menu for the Hyundai Tucson. To learn more, check out the latest new Hyundai reviews.
