New Hyundai Santa Fe Review

Car enthusiasts will appreciate the bold and aerodynamic design of the new Hyundai Santa Fe, characterized by its squared-off cues that enhance its sleek exterior. This design philosophy not only delivers a distinct appearance but also optimizes wind resistance, ensuring fuel efficiency.

Under the hood, you'll find a powerful turbocharged engine that ensures an exhilarating driving experience. Whether you choose the front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive option, this 277-horsepower SUV guarantees responsive, car-like handling. The suspension system, equipped with improved dampers and hydro-bushings, enhances ride quality, making it an excellent choice for both on and off-road adventures.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid has fuel economy you wouldn’t expect from a large SUV that produces 226 horsepower. For faster take-offs and confident highway travel, it has the extra push of instant electric torque.

Since they redesigned this Hyundai SUV from the wheels up, the engineers started with the back where they discovered smart ways to make the cargo hold mouth especially wide.

Of course, it has folding seats that allow you to nearly double or triple the cargo area.

This SUV even accommodates rooftop tents, making it the perfect companion for outdoor enthusiasts. 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid -- and standard -- loans and leases are available with our convenient financing.

The new Hyundai Santa Fe's increased dimensions cater to larger families and adventurous spirits. Inside, the cabin is both spacious and versatile, accommodating a third row of seats for a comfortable and roomy ride. The driver's chair offers special features, including a leg rest, power adjustments, and power-ventilation, ensuring a comfortable drive under the Arizona sun.

With plenty of second-row legroom and headroom, seating choices include a three-person bench or two captain's chairs. The third row welcomes passengers by providing individual HVAC controls, ensuring that everyone is kept comfortable throughout the journey.

The revamped interior showcases advanced technology, featuring two 12.3-inch displays that offer a wealth of information and entertainment for the driver. Augmented by physical controls like volume and HVAC knobs, user-friendly voice controls make life easier for the driver.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility allow you to seamlessly integrate your smartphone apps. You can utilize Apple Maps or Google Maps right on your touchscreen.

Unique to Hyundai SUVs, a dual wireless smartphone charging pad with cooling fans ensures that your devices stay charged and ready. In a 3-row SUV, it can be hard for the driver to be heard in the way-back. Passenger Talk uses the driver's microphone to project their voice through the rear speakers, so you don't have to shout to be heard in the third row.

The new Hyundai Santa Fe in Phoenix takes safety seriously, featuring the most advanced forward collision avoidance technology. It's equipped to detect various traffic dangers, including cyclists, pedestrians, and junction hazards, with the ability to trigger an autobrake or steering assist when needed. The adaptive cruise control, combined with features like curve control, ensures a safer and more controlled drive.

Additional safety features like the blind spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, and lane-follow assist provide added peace of mind. Moreover, the available Highway Driving Assist combines smart cruise control and other features to offer semi-autonomous travel under specific conditions, making it a perfect choice for long highway stretches.

With ample performance, spaciousness, advanced technology, and cutting edge safety features, you can choose between the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and regular Hyundai Santa Fe with confidence. Both models present timeless and versatile options for those seeking a well-rounded SUV.
