Asked by d1234 Oct 30, 2013 at 10:27 AM about the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS FWD

Question type: Car Customization

Just bought a 2013 Hyundai Sante Fe with their "MOST POPULAR UP GRADE"  i.e., heated seats etc. There is no up or down adjustment to the passenger side front seat; just back and forth and seat back tilt. The seat is mounted so low you cannot see the hood of the car and feel like a little kid peaking over the bottom of the door window....I'm 6 feet tall.

Called salesman at dealership. There are NO, "UP /DOWN adjustments for front passenger seat for Sante Fe S or SE, or with their most popular equipment package (with heated seats) - until you get to "powered passenger seat upgrade" in LIMITED or Leather & Navigation packages.....tough luck....Saturday night SURPRISE!....

I sympathize with all Hyundai owners who have vehicles with no height addjustment for the front passenger seat. Have had 2 Sonatas in family so i write from experience. Several years ago i wrote to Hyundai about this problem. No results. Even the 2021 Sonata Limited has no height adjustment on passenger seat. Very sad for such a nice car. I am reminded of the article i read in a Car Publication where a lady told her husband regarding riding in their Hyundai " if i can't be the driver, i am not riding with you because i am not riding in that hole ". I have a 2016 Hyundai Azera Limited with all the Bells and Whistles and am ready for the same in a 2021 model, but the "fools" at Hyundai ceased bringing this wonderful car to North America. Remember i said "fools". Same term applies to the problem of no height adjustment on both driver and passenger seats of all vehicles.

Can the passenger seat in the Santa Fe be replaced with an adjustable seat that can be raised. If so would a Santa Fe dealer be able to do it and what would the cost be?
