I have 2020 Santa Fe SEL and there is no trunk release key on the remote and inside the car. I have to go back and open it manually. Did anyone try modding this?

That sounds very inconvenient as I use those buttons/functions all the time on my 2020 Limited. Sometimes I just shake my head at the places Hyundai decided to save a few bucks on certain models. Sorry that I have no info to help you, hopefully someone on here has a satisfactory solution.
Good luck, let us know what you find out.

You are likely SOL. Should have bought the SEL package.

Name another SUV without a power hatch that has a remote trunk release button.

I see you did not comprehend the meaning of the Hyundai term package. The SEL, last I knew, can be had with two “packages” that add additional features. Most likely the power tailgate feature is available in either the Convenience, or the Premium package. Got it now?

Didn't you read the feature sheet and play with them before the purchase?

You could add a switch up-front if the key-lock release is a switch/solenoid and not cable. You might take a panel off and take a look.

I'm not sure I understand the issue. Since it's not a power liftgate, you would have to manually lift it anyway.

I went to the dealer to trade in my challenger and got a car from the lot which has all tech and the same monthly payment. And they gave me an SEL with a leather upgrade. Didn't go into particulars that day.

I don't want a power liftgate. I just want a button on the remote and the driver seat to open the trunk latch like sedans.

To my knowledge, they don't make the liftgates with that functionality. Either it is powered or you will have to manually open it - nothing in-between.

I agree. But SOL if it is a handle that releases it.

But...it's not a sedan. SUVs don't have this feature. They have a handle....which most sedans don't have on their trunk.

You "didn't go into particulars" on a $30,000 purchase? You shopped for a monthly payment--that's what you got.

On my 2012 all I have is an unlock button on the remote for the rear hatch...still have to pull the handle to open it. No big whoop.

Research is key b-4 you buy...

Does Hyundai Santa Fe have an automatic liftgate?

Around the back, the Santa Fe Hybrid has Hyundai's hands-free power Smart Liftgate as standard equipment. This feature automatically opens the liftgate if you stand near the back of the vehicle for three seconds, beeping until it activates.
