Bold Identity Meets Modern Family Life
IDENTITY
Identity isn’t something that should ever be left behind. The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid celebrates individuality with bold exterior styling and a cabin that feels more like a sanctuary than a commuter’s seat. From expressive colors to a minimalist atmosphere, every detail of the Santa Fe Hybrid reflects the idea that practicality can still carry personality.
Design That Refuses to Blend In
The squared-off profile of the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid carries the spirit of younger, more carefree days. Think back to when imagination ruled, when cardboard boxes became personal vehicles, and mismatched colors and prints filled the closet just for fun. The Santa Fe Hybrid takes these core memories and reimagines them for modern life with strong lines, dramatic proportions, and sculpted details that lend this hybrid SUV unmistakable character.
The front grille, patterned with geometric textures that resemble stacked stones, is framed by square lighting signatures that command attention. Bulging wheel arches add a sense of rugged confidence, while expressive hues like Earthy Brass, Terracotta Orange, and Rockwood Green transform the SUV into something more than a means of transportation.
The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid embodies identity. Its presence refuses to fade into the background of a crowded school parking lot.
Minimalism Made Meaningful
Step inside the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and the tone changes. While the exterior is maximalist by design, the interior is calm and serene. The cabin is designed as one harmonious space rather than a collection of different areas. This flow mirrors the natural course of rivers and helps quiet the noise of modern life.
The interior balances sophistication and warmth, thanks to standard and available elements like:
- Black or Gray motif
- Wood accent trim
- Dual-pane sunroof
The curved panoramic display measuring more than 24 inches sweeps across the dashboard, offering modern connectivity without overwhelming the senses. The cabin of the Santa Fe Hybrid features a minimalist design philosophy that trades clutter for calm, making this SUV a place to breathe amid a busy schedule.
FAMILY
Family life requires more than space for everyone and everything. It calls for thoughtful design that makes busy days run smoother. The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid delivers roomy seating and durability for growing families while infusing advanced safety and convenience features that create peace of mind for the moments that matter most.
Room for Every Chapter
Grocery lists expand, friends are added to the carpool, and toddlers grow. Life doesn’t slow down as the kids get older. Quickly, every seat has a role in supporting family life. The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid delivers with three rows of seating and 151 cubic feet of passenger space. Coupled with up to 79.6 cubic feet of cargo space, there’s enough room for people and things to coexist without compromise.

Family life can be messy. YES Essentials® Stain-resistant Cloth upholstery offers an elegant yet durable solution for all of life’s moments. Spontaneous trips to an ice cream stand, sunset walks by a lake, and rainy soccer games are always on the list of possibilities with the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid.
Comfort That Anticipates the Day
It's such a joy seeing children's personalities grow, but sometimes, that comes at the cost of endless extracurricular sign-ups. A long day at work precedes music practice, theater rehearsals, or robotics club. The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid has convenience built in, offering the features needed to ease days that turn into long nights.
Available dual wireless phone chargers ensure devices stay ready, while the Hyundai SmartSense safety suite brings reassurance to every trip. Features like Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Junction Turning Detection work silently in the background, monitoring for potentially missed hazards. Only when conditions are met will these features step out from the shadows and deliver steering or braking support to help keep everyone safe.
When energy levels are low, optional Remote Smart Parking Assist makes parallel or perpendicular parking easy. No commute would be complete without available comfort-driven touches like climate-controlled front seats, a multi-color ambient lighting system, and solar control glass, all of which create an atmosphere that supports balance, even when your schedule doesn't.
ADVENTURE
Even with weekends fully scheduled, there's still room for spontaneity when driving the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. Scenic detours and last-minute road trips are where the Santa Fe Hybrid thrives. Impressive efficiency and confidence-boosting capability open the door to adventure, proving that practicality and wanderlust can travel together.
Mileage That Expands Possibilities
Efficiency shapes the Hyundai Santa Fe’s adventurous edge. A standard EPA-estimated 37 city/36 highway MPG rating helps stretch every drop of fuel.* The result is a range of up to 631 miles before refueling. That means more travel time and opportunities to take scenic backroads without considering the nearest gas station.
Hybrid performance delivers balance: power when needed, environmental responsibility when it matters. Two power sources, a 1.6L engine and a lithium-ion hybrid battery system, mean less reliance on fossil fuels. It also means more fun behind the wheel:
- Horsepower: 231 net HP
- Torque: 271 lb-ft
The combination of power and efficiency makes space for new opportunities.
Confidence Beyond the Pavement
Confidence with the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid continues off the pavement. Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive (AWD) helps tackle uneven terrain. This intelligent system easily conquers the crushed gravel roads of state parks or the dirt tracks of self-forged paths. Driving patterns are constantly monitored, and torque is distributed between the front and rear wheels for optimized traction on low-friction surfaces.
HTRAC AWD proves equally helpful for everyday driving. Schedules don’t wait for ideal weather conditions, so the Santa Fe Hybrid is always ready to head out when you are.
With a rare open weekend, the Santa Fe Hybrid encourages exploration. Beyond the efficiency and traction needed to venture beyond the beaten path, optional C-pillar assist handles make it easy to load the roof with camping gear or, when properly equipped, a roof-top tent, thanks to the 220-pound dynamic roof rail capacity. These small details speak to a bigger philosophy: Adventure doesn't have to wait; the Santa Fe Hybrid turns everyday capability into opportunity.
