The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe hits the market, available in four variants. The vehicle comes with new features including a DMS camera, driver distraction and fatigue monitoring, as well as rear-seat child presence detection. Meanwhile, adjustments have been made to the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) across different trim levels.
In terms of exterior design, the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe adopts the Open for More design philosophy. It features a panoramic grille integrated with pixelated LED headlights, with the front bumper echoing this design language, endowing the vehicle with strong visual recognition. Additionally, the car is equipped with an active grille shutter, which helps reduce aerodynamic drag, enable faster engine warm-up, and lower energy consumption. The dimensions of the vehicle are 4,830 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width and 1,780 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,815 mm. Notably, despite its boxy silhouette, the vehicle achieves a drag coefficient of just 0.30.
For the powertrain, the new model is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering a maximum power output of 182 kW and a peak torque of 353 N·m. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The suspension system consists of a MacPherson strut independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
