The Hyundai Santa Fe is a seven-seat family SUV that sits at the more premium end of the mainstream segment — offering a bold exterior redesign for the 2026 model year, a genuinely spacious three-row cabin, and a level of standard equipment that pressures rivals costing considerably more. Prices start from AED 135,000.
Power comes from a 2.5 L petrol engine delivering 277 BHP, paired with an Automatic gearbox. The entry 2.5 I4 FWD trim covers the essentials well — LED lights, a large touchscreen, and a full safety suite — while the top-spec Smartstream G2.5T adds a turbocharged output, upgraded interior materials, a panoramic sunroof, and a more premium audio system. Fuel efficiency sits at 12 Km/L on a mixed cycle, which is competitive for a vehicle of this size and capability. Seating is configured for 7, with the third row usable for occasional adult passengers rather than just children.
Pros: the 2026 Santa Fe's cabin quality takes a clear step up over the previous generation — materials and fit feel closer to a near-luxury SUV than a mainstream family car. The boxy new proportions actually improve practicality, with noticeably more boot space than the outgoing model when the third row is folded. The standard safety and driver-assist package is one of the most complete in the segment at this price. Cons: the third row is best suited to shorter journeys or younger passengers — legroom is limited even by class standards. The turbocharged top trim adds meaningful performance but the price gap to the entry variant is substantial, and some rivals offer AWD at a lower step-up premium.
No residual value data is available for the Santa Fe in the UAE at this time. As a high-volume family SUV from a brand with strong dealer network support, it is expected to hold value reasonably well in the segment — broadly in line with the Toyota Highlander and Kia Sorento class average.
Buyers considering the Santa Fe typically cross-shop it against the Kia Sorento, Toyota Highlander, and Nissan Patrol — all seven-seat SUVs in an overlapping price bracket. The Santa Fe tends to win on interior quality and standard equipment per dirham; buyers who prioritise off-road capability or a larger third row often favour the Highlander or Patrol instead.
