A Dynamic Midsize SUV Crafted for Families and Professionals

This SUV comfortably seats up to seven occupants, ideal for families with children or carpool needs around Proviso Township and Yukon. Offering both front-wheel drive (FWD) and an optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, the Santa Fe adapts seamlessly to various driving environments, whether you navigate city streets or rural drives near Bethany.
Its solid build with a unibody chassis ensures stability and safety, while the seating layout accommodates adult passengers in the front and second rows and offers a practical third row for additional riders. This model competes strongly in the midsize SUV category alongside vehicles like the Mazda CX-70 and Subaru Outback, standing out for its mix of advanced safety systems and fuel-efficient powertrains.

The XRT trim introduces a matte gloss black grille and all-terrain tires with boosted ground clearance for drivers who occasionally venture off paved roads, delivering exceptional traction on muddy or snowy surfaces common to the region.
Reliable Powertrain and Comfortable Driving Dynamics
At the heart of the 2026 Santa Fe Base lies a robust 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four engine producing 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired with Hyundai’s upgraded traditional 8-speed automatic transmission. This replacement of the prior dual-clutch system brings smoother gear shifts and a more refined driving experience, appreciated by families commuting through Moore or taking longer drives to Oklahoma City.
The drivetrain includes a choice between front-wheel drive and an all-wheel-drive system, the latter enhancing traction and control when weather demands—ideal for winter conditions around Norman suburbs.
