Whether you are heading to a local soccer tournament or preparing for a weekend getaway, this SUV is designed to elevate every mile of your journey through the heart of Southern California.

Navigating the bustling corridors of Ontario, CA becomes a seamless experience in a vehicle that balances premium presence with hybrid efficiency. The Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy is more than just a means of transportation; it is a mobile sanctuary tailored for the modern professional and active family. From the refined interior textures to the bold, boxy silhouette that commands attention at every intersection, this vehicle reflects the growth and vibrant energy of our local communities. It is time to experience a drive that feels specifically engineered for the way you live, work, and explore the Inland Empire.

Performance & Capability

The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy is powered by a sophisticated Smartstream 1.6L I-4 engine featuring gasoline direct injection and an intercooled turbo. This advanced powerplant, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, delivers a smooth and responsive 178HP. Efficiency is a hallmark of this hybrid system, achieving an impressive 35 city MPG and 34 highway MPG, making those long commutes through Jurupa Valley, CA much more manageable.

Capability is bolstered by the HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system, providing automatic full-time AWD that adapts to changing road conditions instantly. Whether you are navigating a sudden rainstorm or heading toward the foothills, the Drive Mode Select allows you to tailor the drivetrain response to your specific needs. The mechanical foundation is equally impressive, featuring an independent front strut suspension and a multi-link rear suspension with gas-pressurized shock absorbers. This setup ensures a composed and comfortable ride, even when the pavement gets uneven. With an auto stop-start engine and regenerative brakes, the vehicle constantly works to maximize every drop of regular unleaded fuel, while the electronic transfer case shift ensures power is always directed where it is needed most.

Technology & Connectivity

Inside the cockpit, the Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy offers a digital experience that rivals high-end luxury brands. The focal point is a massive 12.3-inch primary touchscreen display complemented by a second 12.3-inch full gauge cluster screen, creating a panoramic interface for all your essential data. Staying connected is effortless thanks to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring, allowing you to access your favorite apps without cluttering the cabin with cables.

For the driver, a Head-up display projects critical information directly onto the windshield, while the integrated navigation system with voice activation provides turn-by-turn directions to any destination in the region. The tech suite extends to convenience features like front wireless device charging and a total of six USB ports spread throughout the cabin, ensuring every passenger's device remains powered. Audiophiles will appreciate the Bose premium speaker system, which utilizes a digital signal processor and speed-sensitive volume to maintain crystal-clear audio quality. Furthermore, the Aerial View Display System provides a comprehensive look around the vehicle, making tight parking maneuvers simpler than ever.

Comfort & Interior

The interior of the Calligraphy trim is a masterclass in craftsmanship, featuring Black quilted premium Nappa leather front seat upholstery and a simulated suede headliner. The cabin accommodates six passengers with second-row bucket seats that offer power reclining functionality and manual fore and aft adjustment. For those hot afternoons in Fontana, CA, the ventilated driver and front passenger seats provide immediate relief, while heated front and rear seats ensure everyone stays cozy during cooler winter mornings.

Every detail is designed for convenience, from the fingerprint recognition for memory settings to the HomeLink garage door opener. The driver enjoys a 10-way power seat with 4-way power lumbar and a cushion extension for long-distance comfort. Passengers are treated to dual-zone front climate control along with third-row climate control featuring separate controls and dedicated headliner ducts. The versatile cargo area is easily accessible via the proximity power liftgate, revealing a carpeted floor with concealed storage and a roll-up cargo cover to keep your belongings secure. With 120V AC and 12V power outlets available, the Santa Fe Hybrid acts as a mobile power hub for all your family's needs.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount in the 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy, which comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of nine airbags and advanced structural reinforcements. The Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (SCC) makes highway driving less taxing, while Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Departure Warning help keep you centered in your lane. When navigating busy parking lots, the Parking Distance Warning and the Surround View Monitor provide a clear picture of your surroundings, while the Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist for the reverse direction can help prevent accidental bumps.

Advanced systems like Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and the Blind-Spot View Monitor, which displays a live video feed of your blind spots in the gauge cluster, provide an extra layer of confidence. The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is specifically tuned to detect pedestrians, cyclists, and hazards during junction turning. For even more convenience, the Remote Smart Parking Assist allows you to move the vehicle into or out of tight spots using just the key fob, a perfect feature for crowded shopping centers or narrow home garages.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of the Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy is finished in the deep and sophisticated Atlantis Blue, a metallic paint that highlights the vehicle's bold, modern lines. Dark chrome front and rear bumper inserts and a metal-look grille add a touch of elegance, while the 20-inch black aluminum wheels provide a planted and aggressive stance. This SUV is as functional as it is stylish, featuring roof rails and crossbars capable of supporting up to 220 lbs, perfect for carrying extra gear on your next adventure.

Lighting is handled by high-performance LED low and high beam projector headlights, complemented by LED daytime running lights and LED brake lights for maximum visibility. The dual sunroof configuration, featuring a first-row sliding glass panel and second-row coverage, floods the cabin with natural light and provides an open-air feel. Practical touches like rain-sensing wipers, heated power-folding side mirrors with integrated turn signals, and deep-tinted privacy glass ensure that the Santa Fe is prepared for any weather or environment the Inland Empire throws its way.
