Glassman Hyundai – How HTRAC All Wheel Drive Inspires Confidence around Novi, MI Year-Round

When your family calendar is stacked with school runs, weekend tournaments, and trips across Oakland County, the capability you feel behind the wheel matters. That is where HTRAC All Wheel Drive in the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE shines. It is engineered to send power where it counts for traction and control, helping you navigate everything from slushy morning commutes on 10 Mile to gravel paths at Kensington with sure-footed composure. Pair HTRAC with available all-terrain tires and additional ground clearance on the XRT, and you have a confident stance for four seasons of Michigan driving without sacrificing comfort or style.

HTRAC is just one thread in a larger web of confidence-building tech. Smart assistance systems such as Highway Driving Assist (HDA), Lane Following Assist (LFA), and standard Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection (FCA-JT) help lighten your workload in varying conditions. On the highway, Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (N-SCC) w/ Curve Control uses map data to help manage speed on curves and when speed limits change. In tighter spaces, available Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) can guide the Santa Fe into or out of a spot while you press a button on the Smart Key. It is all thoughtfully integrated so daily driving feels calm and intuitive.

Traction where you need it: HTRAC can distribute torque proactively to enhance grip on snow, rain, or uneven surfaces.
Balanced poise: Combined with the Santa Fe’s long, stable profile, HTRAC helps the SUV feel planted on sweeping highway ramps and rougher side roads.
Confidence in close quarters: Available Surround View Monitor (SVM) and a full-display digital rearview mirror help you see around the vehicle in parking lots or busy pickup lanes.
Assistance when it counts: Standard and available Hyundai SmartSense features work together to help you maintain safe distances, stay centered, and avoid potential hazards.
Towing and weekend duty: When properly equipped, the Santa Fe offers up to a 4,500-lb. towing capacity to bring along a small camper or pair of jet skis.

Interior comfort ensures capability never comes at the expense of your family’s calm. Available Nappa leather seating, second-row captain’s chairs, and dual wireless device charging keep everyone content, while the available 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster and hi-res 12.3-inch touchscreen put your info in clear view. Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium lets you share access from your smartphone, and Bluelink® features help with remote start, door lock/unlock, and more from the app. The Santa Fe is easy to live with, whether you are loading up for a Novi soccer game or taking a Sunday detour to the trailhead.

For families who drive across changing terrain and weather throughout the year, HTRAC All Wheel Drive is more than a winter feature — it acts like a year-long confidence booster. The Santa Fe’s bold design, “H” lighting signature, and colors like Ecotronic Gray Matte or Serenity White make it a head-turner at pickup lines and tailgates, while the capability underneath makes it a natural fit for your day-to-day.
