Hyundai Santa Fe Second generation dimensions 2005–2012

The Hyundai Santa Fe Second generation (2005–2012) is 467.5 cm long, 189 cm wide and 172.5 cm tall, with a 270 cm wheelbase. That is about the same length as the average SUV in our guide (468 cm across 456 versions). In size it is closest to the Volvo XC60 (2008, 3.1 cm shorter), the BMW X3 (2010, 2.3 cm shorter) and the SsangYong Kyron (2005, 1.5 cm shorter).

Will the Hyundai Santa Fe fit?

UK parking bay 4.8 × 2.4 m

Fits, but tight

It fits inside the lines (12.5 cm spare in length), but at 209 cm wide (est.) including mirrors only about 15.5 cm is left each side — expect to squeeze out if cars park either side.

UK single garage 4.8 × 2.4 m, 7 ft door

Doesn't fit

Fold the mirrors to get through the door; too long to close the door behind it. Height 172.5 cm vs a 198 cm door.

Will it fit my garage?

Assumes a UK standard parking bay of 4.8 × 2.4 m and a typical UK single garage of 4.8 × 2.4 m inside (2.1 m high) with a 7 ft × 6 ft 6 in (213 × 198 cm) up-and-over door. Where we have no width-with-mirrors figure we add 20 cm to the body width. “Comfortably” leaves about 60 cm to walk round and open a door; “tight” means it goes in but getting out is awkward. Garages and bays vary a lot — measure yours and use the garage fit checker. For guidance only.
