Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

1.6L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder Hybrid engine

The Santa Fe Hybrid’s gas-electric system pairs a 1.6-liter turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder with a 44.2-kW electric motor to deliver 231 hp combined and 271 lb.-ft. of torque combined. Tuned for everyday drivability, it is responsive from a stop and confident when merging or passing. A special six-speed automatic transmission balances smoothness with efficiency, while regenerative braking helps recapture energy. The lithium ion battery benefits from Hyundai’s long-standing hybrid engineering expertise and is backed by a 10-year/100,000-mile limited battery warranty, adding long-term confidence to your ownership experience.

Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive

Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive helps the Santa Fe Hybrid adapt to changing road conditions, distributing power for traction and stability. Whether you face rain-slicked streets, winter weather, or a rutted campground approach, HTRAC adds assurance while preserving the efficiency-first personality of the hybrid system. The system integrates seamlessly with Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance features for predictable, composed behavior, and helps keep weekend adventures on schedule year-round.

Dual wireless device charging

With available dual wireless device charging, the cabin cuts clutter by powering two Qi-compatible smartphones at once—no cords required. Pair this with thoughtfully placed USB ports and the extra visibility of the available dual 12.3-inch displays, and your crew stays connected, charged, and entertained. The charging pads sit within easy reach, helping drivers and passengers keep devices topped off on longer trips, carpools, or daily errand runs.

Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA)

Available on select trims, Remote Smart Parking Assist enables the Santa Fe Hybrid to pull into or out of a parking space while you stand outside and press a button on the Smart Key. It is ideal when spots are tight or visibility is limited. This feature works in concert with the available Surround View Monitor to give a better sense of your surroundings, smoothing out garage maneuvers and crowded parking lots. It is a small convenience that adds up, especially in busy school pickup lines or downtown garages.

Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2)

Highway Driving Assist 2, standard on the Calligraphy trim, helps keep the SUV centered in its lane and maintains a set speed and following distance on the highway. It can also assist with lane changes under proper conditions. Combined with Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Curve Control on upper trims, HDA 2 helps longer drives feel calmer and more consistent. Add in available Blind-Spot View Monitor and the full-display digital rearview mirror, and you have an advanced support system watching where you cannot.
