The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe builds on last year’s bold redesign with refined performance, upgraded tech, and enhanced hybrid efficiency. Still available in both gas and hybrid versions, the new Santa Fe elevates the mid-size SUV experience with rugged capability, flexible interior space, and premium design—making it an ideal companion for adventurous families and daily commuters alike.
Gas Model:
The 2026 Santa Fe returns with its powerful 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine, generating 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque—the same confident output as the 2025 model. Mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, it delivers responsive, refined driving dynamics. Front-wheel drive remains standard, with HTRAC all-wheel drive available for added control across changing road conditions.
Hybrid Model:
The 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid continues to offer a compelling blend of performance and efficiency. Powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a 44.2-kW electric motor, it produces 231 horsepower (a slight recalibration from the 2025 model’s 232 hp). A 6-speed automatic transmission and available HTRAC all-wheel drive provide smooth, capable performance with fuel economy that exceeds 30 MPG combined
The Santa Fe’s boxy, adventure-ready design carries over for 2026 with subtle refinements. Its rugged exterior is paired with a spacious interior that still offers three rows of seating—a feature introduced in 2025 and continued due to its popularity.
New for 2026:
Tech features like wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a Bose® premium audio system, and available digital rearview mirror create a cabin experience that’s smart and seamless.
As expected from Hyundai, safety remains a top priority in 2026. The Santa Fe comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense, which includes:
Higher trims introduce new features like Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 and Highway Driving Assist 2, providing semi-autonomous capabilities
The 2026 Santa Fe is available in five trims, all offering distinct levels of performance and luxury:
