The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe SE is a gas SUV with seven seats, 14.6 cu ft of cargo space and a 3,500-lb maximum towing capacity.

Its MSRP ranges from $35,050 for front-wheel drive to $36,850 for all-wheel drive. Both versions use a 2.5L turbo 4-cylinder engine producing 277 hp and an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive returns an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined, while all-wheel drive returns 23 mpg combined.

Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch infotainment display, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, adaptive cruise control, a rear-view camera, and front and rear parking sensors. Cloth upholstery, manual front-seat adjustments and a manual-folding split-bench third row are standard. Safety equipment includes blind-spot and lane-departure warnings, lane-keep assist, rear cross-traffic alert and emergency braking assist.

The basic warranty covers 60 months or 60,000 miles, while the powertrain warranty covers 120 months or 100,000 miles. Four NHTSA recall campaigns have been issued for this model year.
