Performance: Efficient Hybrid Power

Every 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is powered by a Smartstream 1.6-liter Turbo GDI 4-cylinder hybrid engine paired with a 44.2 kW motor, delivering 231 net horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission smoothly manages the hybrid system.

Front-wheel drive comes standard, while HTRAC AWD is available for added traction during Florida storms or weekend trips beyond Sarasota. Drive Mode Select allows you to tailor performance to conditions, and Trailer Sway Control adds confidence when towing.
