Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

HTRAC All Wheel Drive

Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive helps the Santa Fe Hybrid adapt to changing conditions with confidence. On wet roads, gravel, or light trails, HTRAC manages power delivery to help enhance grip and stability. Pair it with the hybrid powertrain’s low-speed torque for surefooted launches from stoplights and on slippery surfaces. This is the kind of all-weather assurance that supports school runs, weekend escapes, and everything in between—without compromising the smooth, refined feel that makes your daily drive comfortable.

231 hp Hybrid Powertrain with 1.6-liter Turbo and Special Six-Speed Automatic

The hybrid system combines a 1.6-liter turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder engine with a 44.2-kW electric motor for 231 hp combined and 271 lb.-ft. of torque combined. Unlike many hybrids, Santa Fe Hybrid uses a special six-speed automatic transmission for natural, direct-feeling shifts and confident passing power. Around town, the electric motor contributes instant torque for easy takeoffs; on highways, the turbocharged engine helps maintain relaxed momentum. The result is a balanced drive that feels responsive, quiet, and reassuringly refined.

Three-Row Seating and Versatile Cargo Space

With three rows, standard, the Santa Fe Hybrid is built to accommodate up to seven. Available second-row captain’s chairs create a spacious, premium feel and make it easier to step into the third row. The center console that’s accessible from both front and back adds everyday convenience, while the hands-free smart liftgate with auto open simplifies loading groceries and gear. Drop the seats to create a surprisingly expansive cargo area, then use the high roofline and wide-opening liftgate to make bulkier items easy to handle. From sports tournaments to scenic road trips, the space flexes with your plans.

Dual 12.3-inch Displays with Navigation and Bluelink+

Go big on clarity. An available 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster pairs seamlessly with a high-resolution 12.3-inch touchscreen and available navigation. The large-format layout makes it easy to follow directions, manage media, and view essential information at a glance. Bluelink+ adds remote conveniences—start the vehicle, lock or unlock doors, and even precondition the cabin from a compatible smartphone. Add available dual wireless device charging to power two phones at once, class-exclusive convenience that keeps cords at bay and passengers happy on longer drives.

Hyundai SmartSense: FCA 2, HDA 2, and Surround View Monitor

The Santa Fe Hybrid is equipped with Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance. Highlights include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist and Junction Turning Detection, and on higher trims, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, which adds Junction Crossing, Lane-Change Oncoming, Lane-Change Side, and Evasive Steering Assist. Highway Driving Assist helps maintain distance and lane centering, while Highway Driving Assist 2 adds lane-change assist capability. Surround View Monitor stitches camera feeds for a bird’s-eye perspective that demystifies tight parking, and Blind-Spot View Monitor shows a live camera feed of your blind spot in the digital gauge when you signal. These systems work together in the background to help elevate awareness every time you drive.
