Exterior of the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe
The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe measures 190.2 inches long and 74.8 inches wide, with a 110.8-inch wheelbase. Its shape leans more toward squared-off corners than curves, which makes it look more robust from a distance. LED lights are standard on both ends, and the headlights, taillights, and Daytime Running Lights all use a matching “H” pattern.
Every trim comes with 18-inch alloy wheels and at least 7.0 inches of ground clearance. The side mirrors match the body color and include heating. You’ll also find a hands-free liftgate that opens on its own when you stand nearby, and you can adjust the height setting if needed.
The XRT trim raises ground clearance to 8.3 inches and swaps in 18-inch dark alloy wheels with all-terrain tires. On higher trims, Hyundai adds either 20-inch alloy wheels or 21-inch wheels with a darker finish. A basic sunroof is available, while top-tier trims have dual-pane sunroofs.
The 2026 Santa Fe is available in a range of colors, such as Ecotronic Gray, Phantom Black, Shimmering Silver, Hampton Gray, and Serenity White as standard.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe runs on a standard 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine rated at 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. All models use an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, while HTRAC All-Wheel Drive is available if you need extra traction.
