CardinaleWay Hyundai of El Monte – Why the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe’s Family Tech Shines for Monterey Park Drivers

Families around Monterey Park are asking for a three-row SUV that feels like a helpful co-pilot, not just a people mover. The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe answers with modern, intuitive technology that reduces daily friction. From the big, beautiful 12.3-inch touchscreen and available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster to the thoughtful dual wireless device charging and an available full-display digital rearview mirror, the cabin is designed to simplify routines. Add in available Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) for tight garages, Highway Driving Assist on select trims for stress-lightened highway drives, and Bluelink+ to remotely start, lock-unlock, or precondition the cabin on equipped models, and you have an SUV that anticipates what you need next.

For growing families, flexibility is everything. The Santa Fe’s spacious three-row layout offers an available second-row captain’s chair configuration and available Nappa leather-trimmed seating surfaces that transform longer trips into relaxing time. A front-and-back-opening center console makes it easy to share essentials, and the hands-free smart liftgate with auto open streamlines loading sports gear, strollers, and groceries. Outside, the “H” lighting signature turns everyday arrivals into a moment and, for active weekends, the available C-pillar assist handle helps you reach the roof to secure cargo. When weather or trails call for more traction, available HTRAC All Wheel Drive adds stability and poise, while properly equipped XRT models can tow up to 4,500 lb. for small trailers or adventure toys.

• Three-row versatility: Space for passengers and cargo with available captain’s chairs and power-reclining second-row comfort.
• Confidence on the road: Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive plus driver-assist tech like Lane Following Assist and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go.
• Parking made easier: Available Surround View Monitor and available Remote Smart Parking Assist help with tight spaces.
• Connected convenience: Bluelink+ plus Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium on select trims to share access and simplify everyday handoffs.

Inside, the design centers on clarity and calm. The panoramic display space makes maps, media, and settings easy to see and use; the available full-display digital rearview mirror gives a clear, camera-based view when the vehicle is loaded; and the layout keeps frequently used controls within a natural reach. Safety coverage is extensive, including Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist detection, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist across the lineup, while upper trims add features like Blind-Spot View Monitor, Surround View Monitor, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist.
