Estimated Price: $41,790* (AWD std, excl. dest.) / ~$43,390* (incl. dest.)*

Fuel Type
Variant

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe is a three-row midsize SUV that punches well above its price point, available in five trim levels — SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy — with two clear powertrain choices: the turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder (277 hp, 311 lb-ft) paired with a new and improved 8-speed automatic transmission, or the 1.6L turbocharged hybrid (231 hp combined) delivering up to 36 MPG combined for efficiency-focused buyers. Every Santa Fe comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense safety including forward collision avoidance, lane keeping assist, blind-spot collision warning, and driver attention warning, plus a 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The rugged XRT adds 1.3 inches of extra ground clearance, all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, and an upgraded 4,500 lb towing capacity along with new Mud, Snow, and Sand driving modes, while the Limited steps up with a panoramic curved dual 12.3-inch display, surround-view camera, and genuine leather, and the flagship Calligraphy tops the range with quilted Nappa leather, power-folding second-row captain's chairs, a head-up display, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system — all backed by Hyundai's class-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
