Glassman Hyundai – How HTRAC All Wheel Drive Builds Confidence for Families around Detroit, MI

Michigan weather doesn’t ask for permission. That’s why families who want an SUV that feels composed on wet, snowy, and unpaved roads gravitate to the latest Santa Fe Hybrid equipped with available HTRAC All Wheel Drive. The system is designed to help you stay confidently in control by actively distributing torque to the wheels with the most grip, and it pairs beautifully with hybrid power that delivers smooth, immediate response at low speeds and reassuring strength for highway merges. Add advanced driver-assistance tech and clever parking features, and you have a daily driver that’s equally ready for school runs and ski weekends.

Beyond traction, one of the biggest surprises is how refined the drive feels. The hybrid system blends a turbocharged gasoline engine with electric torque to reduce effort off the line and make passing feel natural. The transmission is a dedicated six-speed automatic that preserves a familiar, stepped-shift feel while optimizing the hybrid’s power delivery. Inside, the cabin is tailored to busy lives—standard three-row seating, available second-row captain’s chairs, an available full-display digital rearview mirror for an unobstructed view, and connected features like Bluelink+ and Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium. When parking is tight, available Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) can pull the SUV into or out of a space while you stand outside and guide it with your Smart Key.

Families also appreciate how practical the design is. The long, tall profile opens to a wide cargo area that swallows strollers, hockey bags, or camping gear without drama. Loading is easier with an available hands-free smart liftgate that opens automatically, and the available C-pillar assist handle offers a helpful step-up to reach roof-mounted cargo. If you value visibility and awareness, features like Blind-Spot View Monitor on select trims project a camera view into the instrument cluster, while the available Surround View Monitor stitches camera feeds for a bird’s-eye perspective. Together, these systems help cut down on guesswork around garages, curbs, and crowded lots.

As for safety, Hyundai SmartSense brings thoughtful technology from every angle. Core systems like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection, Lane Following Assist, and Lane Keeping Assist support your drive in traffic and on the highway. On upper trims, Highway Driving Assist and Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Curve Control can help maintain speed and following distance while adjusting for posted zones and curves. If you are backing out of a tight spot, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist can warn of approaching vehicles and may even apply brakes when necessary. It’s a smart blend of assistance that respects your control while watching for what you might not see.
