Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

1.6L Turbocharged Hybrid Powertrain with 231 hp Combined

The heart of the Santa Fe Hybrid is its hybrid powertrain—an efficient 1.6-liter turbocharged GDI four-cylinder engine paired with a 44.2-kW electric motor. Together they produce 231 hp combined and 271 lb.-ft. of combined torque, giving you reassuring power from a stop and effortless merging on the 210. The hybrid system works through a special six-speed automatic transmission tuned to deliver a direct, natural driving feel you will appreciate in city traffic and on winding canyon roads. Hyundai’s focus on hybrid refinement shows up in quietness, smooth transitions between gas and electric, and a confident response to throttle inputs. It is the ideal pairing for families who need power in reserve without sacrificing everyday comfort.

Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive

For those who value surefooted grip, available HTRAC All Wheel Drive adds confidence when Mother Nature changes the plan. On wet mornings, dirt roads to trailheads, or weekend camping excursions, HTRAC actively manages power delivery to help maintain traction and stability. The system is engineered to work seamlessly with the hybrid’s six-speed automatic, so you enjoy smooth power delivery and reassuring control when accelerating from a stop or cornering on variable surfaces. If you are planning regular trips to the mountains or want extra confidence on unpredictable roads, HTRAC All Wheel Drive is one of the most compelling upgrades you can make.

Dual 12.3-inch Displays and Bluelink+ Connectivity

The Santa Fe Hybrid embraces an “epic display” approach with an available 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster complemented by a hi-res 12.3-inch touchscreen with available navigation. The result is vivid, easy-to-read maps, smooth animations, and clear access to media and phone controls. Bluelink+ brings connected convenience at no extra cost to you—remotely start the vehicle, lock and unlock, and activate climate control from a compatible smartphone. Available dual wireless device charging pads reduce clutter and keep two Qi-compatible devices powered, while Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium lets you lock, unlock, and start with a compatible smartphone, so you can leave the fob at home. Together, the interfaces and services make every drive simpler and more connected.

Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) and Surround View Monitor (SVM)

Parking and low-speed maneuvering are easier with the available suite of parking technologies. Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) can pull your Santa Fe Hybrid into or out of a tight space while you stand outside and hold a Smart Key button—ideal for narrow garages and crowded lots. Surround View Monitor (SVM) combines multiple camera feeds to present a 360-degree view around your vehicle on the center display, reducing guesswork near curbs, bicycles, or low obstacles. Add Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM), and your turn signal triggers a live camera feed in the instrument cluster to help you check the next lane. These smart assists demonstrate Hyundai’s commitment to making everyday driving tasks less stressful.

Three-Row Seating with Available Captain’s Chairs

Space and comfort are central to the Santa Fe Hybrid’s mission. Three rows are standard, giving room for up to seven. Families can opt for available second-row captain’s chairs that power-recline for premium comfort and a clear path to the third row. Design details enhance the open feel: an elongated, tall profile for generous headroom and cargo, an innovative center console accessible from the front and rear, and the Santa Fe Hybrid “terrace”—created when you open the hands-free smart liftgate and fold the seats for stargazing, tailgates, or impromptu camping. Exterior signatures like the H-pattern LED headlights and LED tail lights deliver a confident presence, available in striking colors such as Ecotronic Gray Matte, Atlantis Blue, Serenity White, and Ultimate Red.
