What to Know About the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe

Stevens Point Auto Center – What to Know About the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe continues its bold reinvention as a three-row SUV built for families who expect more from every mile. With its confident stance, H-signature LED lighting and a cabin that feels thoughtfully crafted, it stands out whether you are navigating weekday routines or gearing up for a weekend escape. This is an SUV that blends capability with comfort—adventure-ready yet easy to live with every day.

Inside, space and usability shine. Three-row seating welcomes passengers with generous legroom and smart storage solutions, including an available dual-opening center console that both rows can access. Available second-row captain’s chairs add an upscale feel and easier access to the third row. When cargo calls, the wide rear opening, low load floor and hands-free liftgate make stowing bulky gear straightforward. Thoughtful touches—like the available C-pillar assist handle to reach roof cargo—prove that practicality can be polished.

Performance is just as versatile. The available 2.5L turbocharged engine delivers confident passing power, while available HTRAC all-wheel drive helps you adapt to changing weather and road conditions. For those who love the trailhead as much as the carpool lane, the XRT trim layers in rugged cues, added ground clearance, all-terrain tires and an available tow rating up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped. If efficiency is a priority, the Santa Fe Hybrid offers strong fuel-sipping credentials with smooth, responsive driving in city or highway settings.

Technology in the 2026 Santa Fe feels seamless and intuitive. Available dual 12.3-inch displays create a panoramic command center for navigation, entertainment and key vehicle information. With Bluelink+ connected services and available Digital Key 2 Premium, you can access and share your vehicle via compatible smartphones. Available dual wireless device charging keeps devices powered, while the available full-display digital rearview mirror uses a rear camera to help improve visibility when passengers or cargo block the view. Advanced driver-assist features—like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist, Smart Cruise Control and, on select trims, Highway Driving Assist 2—are designed to support you with confidence-inspiring oversight.
