The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid pairs three rows of family-ready seating with an efficient hybrid powertrain — a combination almost no other midsize SUV offers. At Ontario Hyundai, drivers from Ontario, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, Corona, Eastvale, and Puente Hills come to us for the lineup, the inventory, and the financing to make it happen.
