Join Gabe, Sales Consultant at Steele Hyundai Fredericton, as we look at the most versatile trim in the entire lineup: the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Luxury Hybrid.
This is a very special model for 2026. Until 2025, the Luxury trim was only available as a traditional gas model, but for 2026, the entire Santa Fe lineup in Canada has moved exclusively to a fuel-efficient Hybrid powertrain. This trim is essentially the “sweet spot” of the lineup—it takes the solid foundation of the Preferred Trend and adds many of the premium features previously only found on the Ultimate Calligraphy. The unit in today’s video is finished in the beautiful and earthy Pebble Blue.
Why the Luxury Hybrid is the Best of Both Worlds:
- The Hybrid Standard: Every 2026 Santa Fe now features the 1.6L Turbocharged Hybrid powertrain, delivering a combined 231 hp and 271 lb-ft of torque. You get incredible fuel economy without sacrificing the power you need for New Brunswick roads.
- Most Luxurious 7-Passenger Layout: While the top-tier Ultimate Calligraphy moves to second-row captain’s chairs (6-passenger), the Luxury Hybrid is the most premium trim that retains the 7-passenger bench. It is the most luxurious way to transport a full family of seven.
- High-End Features: You get upgrades like the Surround View Monitor (360-degree camera), Blind View Monitor (the camera in your dash cluster), and Ventilated Front Seats—features that used to be reserved for the highest price point.
- Premium Comfort: This trim adds a Driver’s Integrated Memory System for your seat and mirrors, plus heated rear seats for your second-row passengers.
- Sophisticated Tech: Featuring the Dual 12.3-inch Panoramic Curved Display with the latest ccNC software, giving you wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in a sleek, high-end format.
- All-Weather Capability: Like all 2026 Santa Fes, it comes standard with HTRAC All-Wheel Drive and multi-terrain control modes (Snow, Mud, Sand) for total confidence year-round.
Pebble Blue: A Modern Classic
The Pebble Blue exterior is a sophisticated, muted shade that highlights the Santa Fe’s bold, H-shaped lighting and rugged, boxy design. It gives the vehicle a premium, outdoor-ready look that perfectly matches its refined interior.
The 2026 Santa Fe Luxury Hybrid proves you can have all the high-tech features and premium finishes while keeping the practical 7-passenger seating and the efficiency of a hybrid.
