What’s New? 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Updates

In terms of the exterior design and the majority of the specifications, the 2026 Santa Fe is essentially a carry-over SUV with similar highlights to the previous model year. The most significant 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe update is the newly standard 8-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that last year’s version featured. 

Aside from the transmission, the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe trim levels are available to Omaha drivers with the following changes: 

  • The sporty XRT trim has a Gloss Black grille instead of a Dark Chrome grille. 
  • The luxurious Calligraphy trim now offers a Pecan Brown Nappa leather interior. 
  • 2nd-row captain’s chairs are a newly standard feature in the Limited trim, with bench seating available as an alternative option. 
  • Dual wireless chargers are now standard in the XRT and Limited trims, adding greater convenience for drivers and passengers.
  • The SEL and XRT trims now have 3rd-row USB ports to better support rear passengers during Seward adventures. 
  • XRT models boast a new, exclusive Terrain Mode (Mud, Snow, and Sand) on the Drive Mode Select system, offering enhanced off-road capabilities.
