Modern family life rarely follows a script. That is exactly why the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE Hybrid feels like the right call for drivers navigating school drop-offs, practice schedules, and weekend road trips around Newton, KS. Hyundai’s hybrid system brings smooth, quiet power around town, and available HTRAC All Wheel Drive adds confidence when rain slicks the streets or gravel county roads beckon.

Bluelink+ simplifies life with remote start, lock and unlock, and climate pre-conditioning from a compatible smartphone, while the available dual wireless device charger keeps two Qi-compatible phones powered without tangled cords.

What sets this SUV apart is how cohesively everything works. The available full-display digital rearview mirror keeps your sightline clear even with cargo stacked high.
