2027 Hyundai Santa Fe: Trims, Pricing & Feature Guide
The 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe is a three-row SUV built for Inland Empire families who need room for six or seven, real towing capability, and an efficient hybrid option in one lineup. It comes in five trims — SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy — across 21 configurations. A turbocharged 2.5L engine makes 277 horsepower and tows up to 4,500 lbs on the XRT, while the hybrid returns up to 37 city / 36 highway MPG (EPA-Estimated). Pricing starts at $36,950 MSRP for the SE.
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
2027 Santa Fe Trims and Pricing
Every trim except the XRT is offered with either the 2.5L turbo gas engine or the 1.6L turbo hybrid, and every trim except the XRT can be ordered with front-wheel drive (FWD) or HTRAC all-wheel drive (AWD). The XRT is gas-only with AWD standard. On the Limited, the six-passenger (captain’s chairs) and seven-passenger (bench) layouts carry the same MSRP.

Powertrains and Fuel Economy
The gas Santa Fe uses a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder that produces 277 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid pairs a 178-hp turbocharged 1.6L engine with a 60-hp electric motor for 231 total system horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque, using a 6-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard, and HTRAC AWD is available on every trim except the XRT, where it comes standard. There is no hybrid XRT.
The hybrid is the efficiency leader, and the drivetrain you choose matters more than the trim. EPA-Estimated figures hold across trims within each powertrain and drivetrain combination. For a deeper look at hybrid efficiency, see our Santa Fe Hybrid fuel economy guide.
| Configuration | Engine | Output | Transmission | EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gas FWD | 2.5L Turbo I-4 | 277 hp / 311 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic | 20 city / 29 hwy / 24 combined |
| Gas HTRAC AWD | 2.5L Turbo I-4 | 277 hp / 311 lb-ft | 8-speed automatic | 20 city / 28 hwy / 23 combined |

| Hybrid HTRAC AWD | 1.6L Turbo I-4 + electric motor | 231 hp / 271 lb-ft (system) | 6-speed automatic | 35 city / 34 hwy |
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Every configuration uses MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, an electronic parking brake with Auto Hold, Hillstart Assist Control, and electronic stability and traction control. Shoppers weighing all-weather traction can also compare Hyundai models offered with HTRAC AWD.
Towing and Capability
Towing capacity splits cleanly by powertrain. Gas trims tow up to 3,500 lbs with trailer brakes, the XRT leads the lineup at 4,500 lbs, and hybrid trims are rated at 2,000 lbs. Every Santa Fe is rated at 1,650 lbs without trailer brakes.
| Configuration | Max Towing (with trailer brakes) | Max Towing (without trailer brakes) | Curb Weight (FWD / AWD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas — SE, SEL, Limited, Calligraphy | 3,500 lbs | 1,650 lbs | 4,343 / 4,486 lbs |
| XRT | 4,500 lbs | 1,650 lbs | AWD only / 4,486 lbs |
| Hybrid — SE, SEL, Limited, Calligraphy | 2,000 lbs | 1,650 lbs | 4,431 / 4,575 lbs |
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Interior Space, Seating and Dimensions
The SE, SEL, and XRT seat seven with a second-row bench. The Limited comes standard with second-row captain’s chairs for six passengers, with a seven-passenger bench available at the same MSRP. The Calligraphy seats six with captain’s chairs. The third row suits children and shorter adults best, with 30.0 inches of legroom.
| Measurement (inches) | Front | 2nd Row | 3rd Row |
|---|---|---|---|
| Headroom (sunroof-equipped trims) | 40.2 | 39.6 | 37.7 |

Cargo space measures 14.6 cu ft behind the third row, 40.5 cu ft behind the second row, and 79.6 cu ft with both rear rows folded — the same for gas and hybrid models. Outside, the Santa Fe is 190.2 inches long on a 110.8-inch wheelbase, 74.8 inches wide, and 69.7 inches tall (67.7 inches on the SE, which does without roof rails). LED projector headlights with High Beam Assist, automatic headlights, and LED daytime running lights and taillights are standard on every trim, and roof rails are standard from the SEL up.
Technology and Features by Trim
Every 2027 Santa Fe includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, over-the-air software updates, and Bluelink+ connected services.

Safety and Driver Assistance
Hyundai SmartSense is standard across the lineup. Every trim includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian, cyclist, and junction-turning detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and a rear occupant alert. The Calligraphy steps up to Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, which adds evasive steering assist, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, which can intervene to help prevent a lane change into an occupied lane. Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control, which adjusts speed for curves using map data, is standard on the XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
