Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

1.6L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder Hybrid engine

At the core is a well-calibrated hybrid system: a 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder engine paired with a 44.2-kW electric motor for 231 hp combined and 271 lb.-ft. of torque combined. What stands out is how naturally it delivers power in city traffic and on the highway. The special six-speed automatic transmission manages torque so the Santa Fe Hybrid steps off cleanly from a stop, passes with authority, and settles into a relaxed rhythm at speed. The hybrid battery benefits from Hyundai’s long-view approach to ownership, including a 10-Year/100,000-Mile limited warranty on the lithium ion battery, adding peace of mind for the life of the vehicle.

HTRAC All Wheel Drive

Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive heightens traction, balance, and control. In challenging conditions, HTRAC can proactively adjust power distribution for confident grip, helping you feel composed on slushy commutes and assured on gravel paths to the campsite. The Santa Fe Hybrid’s long, tall stance also contributes to stability, while precise steering keeps highway tracking calm and steady. In short, HTRAC complements the hybrid powertrain’s smoothness with all-weather capability that Michigan families appreciate year-round.

Dual wireless device charging

Twice as convenient, the available dual wireless device charging system allows you to power two Qi-compatible smartphones at once—no cables, no clutter. It’s the detail families notice from day one, especially with passengers juggling navigation, playlists, and messages. Hyundai integrates charging pads neatly within reach, and when paired with Bluelink+—our connected car service—you can also remotely start, lock or unlock, and even precondition the cabin from your compatible smartphone at no extra cost. Inside the Santa Fe Hybrid, tech is designed to fade into the background and simply work.

12.3-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster

Go big on clarity. The available 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster makes vital info easy to see at a glance, while the hi-res 12.3-inch touchscreen with available navigation anchors the center of the dash. Menus are intuitive, and the expansive real estate means larger map views, crisp camera feeds, and effortless multitasking. When you engage available camera-based features like Blind-Spot View Monitor or Surround View Monitor, the displays bring an extra layer of confidence to lane changes and tight parking, day or night.

Hyundai SmartSense

The Santa Fe Hybrid features Hyundai SmartSense—an extensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. Highlights include Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, all standard across the lineup. On upper trims, advanced systems add a luxury-caliber safety net: Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) can park the vehicle for you with a press and hold of the Smart Key; Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) and Surround View Monitor (SVM) improve visibility where you need it most; and Highway Driving Assist or Highway Driving Assist 2 helps maintain lane centering and set distance on the highway, and may assist with lane changes when conditions allow. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist and Junction Turning Detection is standard, while Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 adds more scenarios, including Evasive Steering Assist. Together, these systems help you feel supported on every drive.
