The current Hyundai Santa Fe is 187.8″ long, 74.4″ wide, on a 109.1″ wheelbase, weighing 3,735 lb. Since 2001 it has grown 6% in length and gained 0% in weight. At 15.6 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Hyundai Santa Fe generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2001–2006 | 177.2″ | 71.7″ | 66.1″ | 103.1″ | 3,719 lb |
| 2007–2012 | 184.3″ | 74.4″ | 70.9″ | 106.3″ | 3,847 lb |
| 2019–2026 | 187.8″ | 74.4″ | 67.3″ | 109.1″ | 3,735 lb |
From 2001 to today the Santa Fe gained 10.6″ of length (6%) and 15 lb of weight (0%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Santa Fe year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 20 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.

Will a Santa Fe fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 15.6 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 15.6 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.2 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 1,024 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 74.4″ | 72.8″ | +1.6″ |
| Wheelbase | 109.1″ | 109.1″ | +0.0″ |
| Curb weight | 3,735 lb | 3,763 lb | -28 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
