Model Overview
A Closer Look at the 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe
The 2027 Hyundai SANTA FE delivers the kind of smart, family-friendly versatility Bel Air, MD shoppers ask about every day: real three-row flexibility, easy-to-use technology, and the right kind of capability for commutes up and down I-95 and weekend drives across Harford County. Following its dramatic redesign a few years ago, the SANTA FE carries forward with a squared-off, premium look, a cabin built for everyday comfort, and a feature set that reads like a modern buying guide checklist. From the refined 2.5L turbocharged engine to the available HTRAC All Wheel Drive system with Snow, Sand, and Mud traction settings, this midsize SUV balances calm road manners with useful muscle. Inside, the dual 12.3-inch displays anchor a dashboard that still retains physical controls where it counts, while available comforts such as heated and ventilated seating, second-row captain’s chairs, and a Bose premium audio system elevate every mile.
If you are starting research for your next three-row SUV around Bel Air, the SANTA FE’s fundamentals are refreshingly straightforward. Seating for six or seven. Generous cargo room with a wide-opening liftgate. Straightforward choice of powertrains, including a responsive turbocharged 2.5L and an efficient hybrid with a combined 231 hp. And, critically, thoughtfully tuned ride quality that remains composed on Route 24 and US-1, with a cabin quiet enough to keep conversation relaxed. Add in Hyundai’s reputation for long warranty coverage and comprehensive driver-assist features, and you have an SUV that checks the boxes for families and active drivers alike.

Performance and Capability for Every Mile
Confidence comes built-in with the 2027 Hyundai SANTA FE. Every gas model features a Smartstream 2.5L Turbo GDI engine rated at 277 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque, paired to an 8-speed automatic with SHIFTRONIC® manual shift mode. Front-wheel drive is standard, and available HTRAC All Wheel Drive adds active on-demand torque distribution and pre-set drive modes, including Snow, with XRT models also gaining Sand and Mud settings. The suspension uses gas-pressurized shocks with advanced valving and a multi-link rear design to balance a comfortable ride with reassuring stability. Need to tow? The SANTA FE is rated up to 3,500 pounds with trailer brakes, while the XRT steps up to a robust 4,500-pound tow rating and adds 1.0 inch of ground clearance for rougher surfaces and steeper boat ramps.

Competitive Strengths
How the 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Stands Out
- Towing Muscle: XRT models tow up to 4,500 lbs—strong for the class
- AWD Smarts: HTRAC AWD with Snow plus Sand/Mud on XRT for varied terrain
- Cabin Displays: Dual 12.3-inch screens with retained physical controls
- Cargo & Access: Wide tailgate opening, underfloor storage, and up to 79.6 cu ft
- Rear-Seat Flex: Available 2nd-row captain’s chairs on upper trims
- Premium Touches: Nappa leather, ambient lighting, and Head-Up Display available
- Digital Convenience: Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium availability for phone-as-key
- Warranty Confidence: Long limited and powertrain coverage from Hyundai
In a competitive field that includes Honda Pilot, Toyota Grand Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder, and Subaru Ascent, the 2027 SANTA FE leans on real-world strengths. XRT’s 4,500-pound tow rating and extra ground clearance are standouts for those who haul a small trailer or plan weekend getaways near Gunpowder Falls. The cabin’s dual 12.3-inch screens are clear and quick, and the retained knobs and buttons prevent the “all-touchscreen” frustration some rivals invite. Inside, the SANTA FE’s available captain’s chairs, generous legroom in rows one and two, and underfloor cargo storage make family life simpler. And where some competitors limit innovation to top trims, SANTA FE spreads technology across the lineup—wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is standard, and features like Digital Key 2 Premium and Remote Smart Parking Assist are available on upper trims. For Bel Air, MD drivers who balance daily commuting with weekend gear—and appreciate a quiet, premium-feeling ride—the SANTA FE sits in a sweet spot of refinement and utility.
