Discover the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe at Charlie Clark Hyundai

The Hyundai Santa Fe has always been a reputable choice for families, and the 2026 model continues this trend. With its adventurous new design, roomy interior, and advanced technology, this midsize SUV is ready for both weekend getaways and daily drives around Laredo. You can choose from a variety of available trim levels:

  • SE
  • SEL
  • XRT
  • Limited
  • Calligraphy

The Santa Fe competes directly in the midsize SUV class against the likes of the Honda Passport, Toyota Grand Highlander, and Kia Sorento, but holds its own with bolder looks, copious amounts of cargo space, and unmatched value from Hyundai. If you want an SUV that is practical and doesn’t look boring, the Santa Fe will be a slam dunk for your shopping list.

Interior Features

When you step into a 2026 Santa Fe, the first thing you will notice is the space. This is now a three-row SUV, with either a second-row bench or available captain’s chairs to suit your needs. The 2026 Santa Fe can seat either seven or six people.

The materials are a pleasant surprise, too. Even in the base trims, there are nice finishes, with higher trims equipped with quilted leather seating, front seats that are also heated and ventilated, and a heated steering wheel. Dual-zone climate control is standard, and tri-zone is available to keep occupants comfortable.

Cargo space is impressive, with 40.5 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 79.6 cubic feet with the second and third rows down. A wide tailgate opening and low load floor are additional features making it easy to load road trip luggage, sports gear, or bulky shopping.

Exterior Features

The 2026 Santa Fe has a bold new look that sets it apart. The upright, boxy stance leans into the rugged SUV vibe, while Hyundai’s signature H-shaped LED headlights and taillights give it a futuristic touch.

Wheel options start at 18 inches on lower trims and go up to 21-inch alloys on higher models. Roof rails are standard, and available two-tone paint schemes add extra flair. It’s a design that looks just as good pulling up to a downtown restaurant as it does parked at a campsite. Available paint colors include:

  • Hampton Gray
  • Phantom Black
  • Serenity White Pearl
  • Atlantis Blue
  • Earthy Brass Matte
  • Terracotta Orange
