The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.5 Petrol FWD is a practical seven-seat SUV suited to families seeking affordable space and solid safety credentials, backed by a five-star ANCAP rating and five-year warranty. Its standout strength is the combination of reasonable fuel consumption at 6.8L/100km and modest running costs around $1515 annually, making it genuinely economical for its class. One thing to consider is the modest 141kW output from the 2.5-litre engine, which is adequate rather than spirited, so test drive it to ensure the performance matches your expectations for highway and everyday driving.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid FWD is a seven-seat mid-size SUV that suits families wanting practical space with fuel efficiency, pairing a 1.6-litre petrol engine with hybrid technology to deliver 6.8L/100km consumption and 172kW of power. Its standout strength is the combination of genuine hybrid economy-saving roughly $1515 annually in running costs-with respectable 2000kg towing capacity and a spacious 625-litre boot, all backed by a 5-star ANCAP safety rating and five-year warranty. One consideration: at 2015kg and front-wheel-drive only, it won't match the terrain capability of traditional petrol SUVs, though it's well-suited to urban and suburban driving where the hybrid system truly shines.

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid AWD is a seven-seat family SUV that suits buyers wanting fuel efficiency without compromising practicality, delivering a claimed 6.8L/100km consumption and 2000kg towing capacity. Its standout strength is the hybrid powertrain's combination of 172kW and 367Nm torque paired with all-wheel drive, offering responsive performance while keeping annual running costs around $1515. One thing to consider is the 625-litre boot space, which is modest for a three-row SUV when all seats are deployed, so check it suits your cargo needs before buying.
