The Santa Fe is the SUV for those who crave style and space without breaking the bank.
Bold, boxy exterior design · Spacious, airy interior
Poor rear visibility · Tight third-row legroom
The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe stands out with its bold, boxy design that catches the eye without sacrificing family-friendly utility. Behind the wheel, the 2.5L turbo engine delivers a punchy 277 horsepower, making highway merges a breeze, though it settles into a calm cruise when you want to relax. What surprised us is the interior space—it's vast, with large displays and a cabin that feels airy and welcoming. However, maneuvering in tight parking garages is a test of patience, thanks to its poor rear visibility. If you're after a stylish midsize SUV that's feature-rich and roomy, this might just be your next ride.
Our pick: SEL ($38,835)
vs. 2026 Subaru Outback: The Santa Fe wins with its stylish design and powerful turbo engine, while the Outback offers better fuel economy and off-road capability.
