Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

1.6-liter Turbo Hybrid Powertrain

The hybrid system teams a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 44.2-kW electric motor, generating 231 hp combined and 271 lb.-ft. of torque combined. That torque-rich setup helps you off the line and at lower speeds, while the specialized six-speed automatic transmission delivers familiar, refined shifting. You feel the hybrid’s boost when merging, passing, or climbing grades—yet it remains quiet, composed, and efficient in everyday driving. Hyundai backs its lithium-ion hybrid battery with a 10-Year/100,000-Mile limited warranty, reinforcing the long-term confidence that has made SANTA FE Hybrid a family favorite. It’s power with purpose, tuned to make every mile smoother.

HTRAC All Wheel Drive

Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive helps you take on rain-slicked streets, gravel roads, or weekend trailheads with composure. The system can actively distribute torque to the wheels that need it, enhancing traction on varying surfaces and through changing weather. Pair HTRAC AWD with the hybrid’s strong low-speed response, and SANTA FE Hybrid feels surefooted pulling away from a stop, tackling a winding on-ramp, or easing along a rutted path to the campsite. For drivers who want added confidence for seasonal storms and family adventures, HTRAC AWD is a smart upgrade that aligns with the SUV’s balanced, go-anywhere personality.

Three-Row Seating for Seven

SANTA FE Hybrid’s long, bold silhouette translates to a roomy cabin with three rows, standard, and space for up to seven. Available second-row captain’s chairs elevate comfort for growing kids and adult passengers alike, while available Nappa leather on upper trims adds a premium touch. Thoughtful touches abound—like a center console accessible from both front and back, available power-reclining second-row captain’s chairs, and a cargo area that opens up into a welcoming “terrace” when you drop the seats and raise the liftgate. It’s a flexible environment designed around real life, ready for stargazing, tailgate gatherings, or simply taking it all in.

12.3-inch Digital Displays

Go big where it matters. An available 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster pairs with a hi-res 12.3-inch touchscreen and available navigation to put essential info in clear view. The interface is crisp and intuitive, making it easy to read maps, swipe through playlists, or check energy flow at a glance. Add available Head-up Display to project key info within your natural line of sight, and your daily drive feels more streamlined. From the clean graphics to the logical layout, these advanced displays are designed to reduce distraction and elevate every interaction behind the wheel.

Dual Wireless Device Charging

Class-exclusive among key rivals, the available Dual Wireless Device Charging lets you and a front passenger charge Qi-compatible smartphones at the same time—no cables, no clutter. Keep navigation running, podcasts playing, and battery levels up on busy days. Complement that with Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium to lock, unlock, and start the vehicle using a compatible smartphone, and Bluelink+ for remote start, lock/unlock, and climate activation at no extra cost to you. For rearward visibility, the available full-display digital rearview mirror uses a camera feed to show what’s behind you in real time, even with cargo stacked high. This is everyday tech done right.
