2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Model Review - Carrollton, TX

What's New for the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe?

Hyundai focused attention on the premium Santa Fe trims for 2026. The Calligraphy now offers a striking Pecan Brown Nappa leather interior. Dual phone chargers are standard across the XRT and Limited trims. If you're after practicality rather than luxury, opting for the upgraded transmission makes the entry-level trims more reliable and a bit more fun behind the wheel.

What Are the 2026 Santa Fe Trims & Features?

The 2026 Santa Fe is offered in SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trims, with Calligraphy representing the most feature-rich Santa Fe yet. The SE base model features a turbocharged 2.5L engine and comes equipped with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a hands-free smart liftgate. The SEL adds creature comforts like heated front seats and H-Tex upholstery. The Calligraphy delivers full-size luxury touches this year, such as Nappa leather seats and 21-inch alloy wheels - ideal if you want to make a statement.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Santa Fe Have?

The Santa Fe's turbocharged 2.5L engine is rated at 277 horsepower and is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The XRT includes a Terrain mode to help expand where you can go. Driver-assist technology smooths out the drive for 2026 Santa Fe drivers.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Santa Fe Include?

SmartSense continues to power the Santa Fe's safety features. Upper trims bring advanced tech like Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Remote Smart Parking Assist, and advanced Rear Occupant Alert. The SE includes forward and reverse parking distance warnings and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist. The system monitors lanes, traffic, and road signs to issue warnings and, when needed, intervene to help avoid danger or give you time to react.
