2026 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL

The 2026 Santa Fe is Hyundai's midsize SUV, offered with three rows and seating for up to seven passengers. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Kia Telluride in the three-row crossover segment. The Santa Fe drives with a composed, car-like feel, and the available hybrid delivers strong efficiency without sacrificing response. The cabin is roomy and well-built, with a clean dashboard layout and generous cargo space behind the third row. Standard tech includes a large touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Hyundai's SmartSense safety suite. This SEL pairs a 2.5L I4 with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic, good for 277 horsepower and 23 mpg combined. The SEL also gets Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and a hands-free power liftgate, two features you'd normally have to step up to the Limited for.
