Performance

Beneath the hood of the 2026 SANTA FE sits a standard 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, delivering up to 277 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque. A standard 8-speed automatic transmission provides a smooth balance of power, with steady acceleration even when you’re using all of the SUV’s 4,500-lb. maximum towing capacity¹. Prepare for Oak Park’s seasonal weather by equipping the optional HTRAC AWD system to boost the vehicle’s traction on slick and uneven roads. If efficiency is a concern, the SANTA FE is adapted for city driving with its standard Idle Stop and Go functionality, which turns off the engine when you’re stuck at a light or motionless in heavy traffic on the way towards Columbus Park. You can also switch over to the standard Eco drive mode to shift the vehicle’s performance towards emphasizing gas preservation.

Interior

Up to seven passengers can fit inside the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE, and can do so comfortably with 44.4 and 42.3 inches of front and second-row legroom, respectively. The cargo area is just as accommodating, with 40.5 cu. ft. of storage volume² behind the second row. An available 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with 4-way power lumbar support makes for a truly relaxing commute home across I-290. Adding the available heating and ventilation functions and one-touch relaxation mode can make it feel like you’re enjoying a veritable spa day. It looks as sophisticated as it feels, with available Nappa leather upholstery and a standard leather-wrapped steering wheel promoting a luxurious impression. Activate the available ambient interior lighting system to tailor the mood inside the cabin to match your own.

Safety

Each SANTA FE is equipped with Hyundai SmartSense, a collection of advanced standard safety features such as the Blind-Spot Collision Warning³ function, which will alert you whenever another motorist enters a gap in your vision. Lane Keeping Assist⁴ scans for road markers and provides light steering assistance to keep the SUV centered on your intended path. If an argument in the backseat starts to distract you from the surrounding traffic, the Driver Attention Warning⁵ system emits an audible tone to remind you to focus on navigating. Once you’ve arrived at your destination, the Rear Occupant Alert⁶ feature will remind you to verify that everyone has safely exited the vehicle.

1. Towing capacity varies by configuration. 4,500 lb. maximum towing capacity requires SANTA FE XRT trim and a trailer equipped with trailer brakes. See Owner’s Manual for proper use and additional information.

2. Cargo and load capacity limited by weight and distribution. Always properly secure all cargo.

3. Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) assists the driver by warning of other cars in the blind spot region. It senses the rear side territory of the vehicle when it is traveling over 25 mph. There are limitations to the function, range, detection and clarity of the system. It will not detect all vehicles or objects in the blind spot. Its operation depends on the size, distance, angle and relative speed difference between your car and other cars. BCW may not operate if sensors are obscured in any way. Do not rely exclusively on BCW. BCW is a supplemental system and the driver must still be attentive and exercise caution when driving. It is the driver's responsibility to be aware of the surroundings and ensure it is clear before changing lanes or directions. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

4. Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) will not work under all circumstances. It operates above 40 mph and only when it is able to detect painted lane markings. It cannot function if the lane markings cannot be seen clearly. If the lines cannot be seen clearly due to poor road conditions, weather, or lighting conditions, it may not function. It also may not function on very rough roads, when walls, curbs or concrete barriers are close by, or if following another car too closely. Since it "sees" the lane markings using a camera in the upper windshield area, it is imperative this area be clear and free of blockage such as stickers, dirt, snow, tinting material, markings and labels. Lane Keeping Assist is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but is a supplemental assist only. The driver is responsible for always maintaining command and control of the vehicle and must keep hands on the wheel at all times. See Owner's Manual for further details and limitations.

5. Driver Attention Warning (DAW) is only a warning to inform the driver of a potential lack of driver attention or drowsiness. It does not detect and provide an alert in every situation. It is the driver's responsibility to remain alert at all times. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

6. Upon turning the engine off, Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) will provide a visual alert on the instrument cluster. ROA is not a substitute for driver attentiveness. Never leave a child or pet unattended in a vehicle. See Owner's Manual for further details and limitations.
