Here are some reasons why someone might choose a new 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL AWD what it brings, where it shines, and what to think about. If you tell me what you care about (price, reliability, tech, winter driving, etc.), I can map them to your priorities too. What the 2026 Santa Fe SEL AWD Offers These are the strengths and features of the SEL trim with AWD, and what you're getting by stepping up to that configuration. Feature What It Gives You / Why It Matters Traction & all-weather capability AWD helps with grip in rain, snow, ice, and on slippery or loose surfaces. In a place with winter weather, that matters a lot. SEL with AWD is a good compromise between cost and capability. Engine / Power The Santa Fe SEL uses a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder (~277 hp) in the gasoline model. That gives decent power for highway merging, passing, etc. Modern features & tech Even at the SEL level you get a lot: a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, wireless charging, Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium, heated front seats, etc. Comfort & interior usability Comfort is significantly stepped up from base trims: heated front seats, good materials (H-Tex seating surfaces in SEL), good climate control, decent interior room & usability. Great for everyday use. Safety / driver-assist features The SEL comes with several safety features (forward collision warning/mitigation, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, etc.). Also things like parking distance warning, heated mirrors, etc. These add peace of mind. Avoiding previous problems better driving feel For 2026, Hyundai replaced the dual-clutch transmission (which had raised reliability concerns) in non-hybrid turbo 2.5L models with an 8-speed torque-converter automatic. So you avoid or mitigate those earlier transmission-issues. That can mean better smoothness, less worry., AWD, Gray Premium Synthetic. New Price! 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL
