The best size cargo carrier for your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe would be one that will fit the roof of your vehicle, offer you enough capacity to carry the cargo you need, and not interfere with the operation of your vehicle's rear hatch.
The Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box, # TH6357B, is a cargo carrier that has a 16 cubic feet cargo capacity and has the Thule Quick-Grip that allows you to install to the carrier to your roof rack quickly.
To make sure that this Thule cargo box or others cargo boxes will fit, you will need to check the rear hatch clearance, or front clearance as called by manufacturers, of your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe.This can be done with one simple measurement. From the center of the front crossbar measure to the seam where the rear hatch and roof meet on the Santa Fe. This measurement will give the allowable size of a cargo carrier you can mount to the roof rack and be able to open the rear hatch.
I have included a chart of that will show you how to measure the roof clearance.The chart also lists models of Thule cargo carriers that will fit according to the front clearance measurement. The column on the right shows the front clearance distance needed to fit the corresponding Thule cargo carry in the left column. For example, the Force XT # TH6357B requires 47-1/2 inches of clearance in order for the hatch to fully open.
I also linked an article that explains the different types of cargo carriers that will give you more information.
