2027 Hyundai Santa Fe: Three Rows Sized for Everyday Life

The gas-powered 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe is a midsize, three-row SUV designed to make family transportation easier without requiring the footprint of a larger model. It sits below the Palisade in Hyundai’s SUV lineup and combines an upright, space-efficient shape with distinctive styling and everyday versatility.

The lineup includes SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trims, spanning practical, capability-focused, and premium configurations. Hyundai also offers a separate Santa Fe Hybrid with different powertrain and efficiency specifications; the details below apply to the gas-powered 2027 Santa Fe.

A Flexible 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Interior

The 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe interior turns its boxy shape into practical passenger and cargo room. SE, SEL, and XRT trims seat seven with a second-row bench. Limited can be configured for six or seven, while Calligraphy seats six with second-row captain’s chairs. A 50/50 split-folding third row and remote-release second-row seats let the cabin adapt quickly when a passenger trip becomes a cargo run.

Passenger measurements support comfortable use of the first two rows, with 44.4 inches of front legroom and 42.3 inches in the second row. Third-row legroom measures 30 inches. Cargo volume is 14.6 cubic feet behind the third row, 40.5 cubic feet behind the second row, and 79.6 cubic feet behind the front seats. That range lets drivers preserve all three rows for people or fold seats to accommodate luggage, sports equipment, and larger purchases.

Materials and amenities progress by trim. SE uses YES Essentials® stain-resistant cloth, SEL and XRT use H-Tex® seating surfaces, Limited adds leather-trimmed seating, and Calligraphy features Nappa leather-trimmed seats. Heated front seats begin with SEL. Limited and Calligraphy add ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a power front-passenger seat, and driver-seat memory. Calligraphy also includes a Driver Relaxation Seat with a one-touch setting.

Second-row air vents are included throughout the lineup, and SEL and above add third-row vents. Storage is distributed among door pockets, the front console, an underfloor cargo tray, and a two-level center armrest that opens from the front or rear. LATCH lower anchors, upper tether anchors, rear child-safety locks, and an extensive airbag system support family use.

An Upright Exterior with Purposeful Details

The 2027 Santa Fe’s squared-off design gives the Hyundai SUV a distinctive presence while supporting its roomy cabin. Every trim measures 190.2 inches long and 74.8 inches wide on a 110.8-inch wheelbase. Height is 67.7 inches without roof rails and 69.7 inches with them. Standard LED projector headlights, LED accents, LED daytime running lights, LED taillights, automatic headlights, and High Beam Assist create a consistent lighting package across the lineup.

Wheel and exterior details distinguish each trim. SE and SEL use 18-inch alloy wheels. XRT pairs unique 18-inch alloys with Continental all-terrain tires, gloss-black mirror caps, a gloss-black grille, matte-black badging, and an assist handle integrated into the C-pillar garnish. Limited moves to 20-inch wheels, and Calligraphy uses 21-inch wheels. Roof rails begin with SEL. XRT includes a conventional sunroof, while Limited and Calligraphy add a dual-pane sunroof.

A Hands Free Smart Liftgate with automatic opening and an adjustable height setting is standard across all five gas trims, simplifying access when carrying bags or gear. Heated side mirrors are also standard. SEL and above add mirror-integrated LED turn signals, and Limited and Calligraphy add power-folding mirrors and rain-sensing windshield wipers.

• Ultimate Red
• Phantom Black
• Shimmering Silver
• Atlantis Blue
• Earthy Brass Matte
• Serenity White
• Ecotronic Gray

Paint availability may vary by trim and configuration. Shoppers should confirm current color and trim combinations with Red McCombs Hyundai.

Turbocharged Performance and Available HTRAC AWD

Every gas-powered 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe uses a Smartstream 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 277 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 311 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. An eight-speed automatic transmission, SHIFTRONIC® paddle shifters, and Shift-by-Wire controls are standard. Because the powertrain is shared throughout the lineup, shoppers can choose a trim based on seating, comfort, technology, and capability equipment without giving up engine output. Front-wheel drive is standard on SE, SEL, Limited, and Calligraphy. HTRAC All-Wheel Drive is available on those trims and standard on XRT. Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart drive settings adjust the vehicle’s responses for different routines. HTRAC AWD adds Snow mode and an AWD Lock function, while XRT adds Sand and Mud settings for loose surfaces.

Most gas trims have seven inches of ground clearance and can tow up to 3,500 pounds with trailer brakes when properly equipped. XRT raises ground clearance to 8.3 inches, improves the approach and departure angles, and increases maximum properly equipped towing capacity to 4,500 pounds with trailer brakes. The unbraked trailer limit is 1,650 pounds for all gas trims. Trailer prewiring and Trailer Sway Control are standard, but actual towing capability depends on equipment, loading, and adherence to Hyundai’s published limits. A four-wheel independent suspension supports passenger-oriented road manners, while the 37.9-foot curb-to-curb turning diameter helps make parking lots and other confined spaces more manageable.

Connected Technology with Room to Grow

The 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe technology package centers on clear displays, wireless connectivity, and features that serve passengers across all three rows. Bluelink® connected services and over-the-air update capability are standard, while upper trims expand navigation, device access, camera coverage, and driver information.

Five notable technology features include:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen: Standard across all trims, giving infotainment and vehicle functions a broad, easy-to-see interface.
• Wireless smartphone integration: Standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support familiar apps without requiring a cable for routine connections.
• Available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster: Standard on Limited and Calligraphy, replacing the 4.2-inch color multi-information display used by the other trims.
• Available dual wireless charging: XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy include two charging locations for supported devices; SEL includes one.
• Available camera and display technology: Limited and Calligraphy add a Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor, while Calligraphy also includes a head-up display.

Four high-power USB charging ports are standard on SE, and SEL and above add two ports for the third row. Rear Seat Quiet Mode is included throughout the lineup. Limited and Calligraphy add a Bose 12-speaker premium audio system. Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium begins with XRT, allowing compatible devices to support key functions.

Driver Assistance for Busy Roads and Parking Lots

The 2027 Santa Fe combines passive protection with Hyundai driver-assistance technology designed to support awareness in traffic, during lane changes, and while backing up. The restraint system includes driver and passenger front airbags, a driver knee airbag, first- and second-row side airbags, and side-curtain airbags. These systems work alongside four-wheel disc brakes, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, Brake Assist, and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System with individual tire indicators.

Five notable safety and driver-assistance features are:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: Standard with pedestrian, cyclist, and Junction Turning detection to provide warnings and braking support under defined conditions.
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning: Standard across the lineup to help the driver monitor adjacent areas during lane changes.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist: Standard to provide alerts and braking support when reversing in certain cross-traffic situations.
• Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist 2: Standard systems that provide steering support within their operating limits.
• Safe Exit Assist: Standard to help occupants account for traffic approaching from behind before opening a door.

Driver Attention Warning and Rear Occupant Alert are also included throughout the lineup. SEL and above add Forward Attention Warning. XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy use an Advanced Rear Occupant Alert with a radar sensor and Bluelink integration. Limited and Calligraphy add Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Reverse, expanded parking-distance sensing, and Remote Smart Parking Assist. XRT and Limited include Highway Driving Assist I, while Calligraphy advances to Highway Driving Assist 2. Driver-assistance systems have operating limits. They do not replace attentive driving, proper vehicle control, or safe decision-making.
