5 Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai Elantra

The curious thing about a 3-row SUV is that filling all the seats tends to create another problem: everyone brings things. Bags, groceries, sports equipment, strollers, backpacks, and various objects nobody remembers packing all need somewhere to go. The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is designed with this reality in mind. It seats up to 8, provides usable cargo room even with the third row raised, and can open up to 86.7 cu. ft. when maximum storage takes priority. For Wichita Falls, TX families, it's an SUV designed around both halves of the equation: people and their possessions. The Cargo Area Doesn't Disappear With 3 Rows Up With every row available for passengers, the 2026 Palisade still provides 19.1 cu. ft. of cargo capacity behind the third row. That's useful space for groceries, backpacks, or smaller luggage without asking anyone to surrender a seat. Fold the third row and capacity expands to 46.3 cu. ft. Drop both rear rows and you have up to 86.7 cu. ft. The Palisade can seat 7 or 8 depending on configuration. Available second-row captain's chairs trade one seating position for easier movement through the cabin and improved third-row access. Available power-folding third-row seats also make the transition from passenger carrier to cargo hauler considerably easier. At roughly 199 inches long with a 116.9-inch wheelbase, the redesigned Palisade gives third-row passengers 32.1 inches of legroom. That makes the last row more useful when the passengers back there aren't small children. The Small Storage Spaces Count, Too Cargo capacity is usually measured in cubic feet, but family usefulness often comes down to where everybody puts a phone, drink, charging cable, sunglasses, or whatever the children have brought into the vehicle without explanation. Hyundai distributes smaller storage areas throughout the Palisade cabin, including center-console space, door pockets, cupholders, and additional compartments. An available hands-free smart liftgate with auto open is more useful than it sounds when you're approaching the vehicle with both hands occupied. Higher trims can add further convenience features, including power operation for the third row. None of this makes for particularly exciting specification-sheet reading. Use the vehicle every day, though, and these details begin to count. It Can Carry a Trailer Behind All That Cargo The standard Palisade uses a 3.5L V6 producing 287 hp and 260 lbs. ft. of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. FWD is standard on most trims, while HTRAC AWD is available for drivers who want additional traction. Properly equipped gas models can tow up to 5,000 lbs., providing useful capacity for many small campers, utility trailers, and recreational loads. Available HTRAC AWD also incorporates selectable drive modes that alter vehicle behavior for different conditions. For 2026, there's another interesting option. The Palisade Hybrid combines a 2.5L Turbocharged engine with its hybrid system to produce 329 combined hp and 339 lbs. ft. of torque. That means shoppers browsing new Hyundai Palisade inventory can now consider both conventional V6 and hybrid power without giving up the basic 3-row format. A Family SUV Needs Outlets as Much as Cupholders The Palisade's technology is sensibly aimed at a vehicle likely to carry several people at once. A 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard, while an available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster creates a broad dual-display arrangement across the dashboard. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility handle smartphone integration, with available wireless charging for compatible devices. Higher trims can add a Head-Up Display, Bose® premium audio, heated and ventilated seating, and additional USB-C charging ports throughout the cabin. That last feature deserves more credit in a 3-row SUV. A long family drive becomes considerably easier when nobody is arguing over the last charging cable.

Family SUVs have become remarkably good at blending into the background. They carry people, haul groceries, and dutifully disappear into parking lots without asking for much attention. The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe takes a different approach. It embraces utility with confidence, wrapping practical engineering in a design that's unmistakably modern. Two Powertrains, Two Distinct Personalities Hyundai gives buyers a choice that feels purposeful rather than complicated. The standard Santa Fe is powered by a 2.5L Smartstream Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 277 hp and 311 lbs. ft. of torque. Paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, it delivers confident acceleration for highway merging, daily commuting, and long-distance travel. Properly equipped, SE, SEL, Limited, and Calligraphy models can tow up to 3,500 lbs., while the adventure-focused XRT increases maximum towing capacity to 4,500 lbs. The Santa Fe Hybrid combines a Turbocharged 1.6L engine with a 44.2-kW electric motor to generate a combined 231 hp and 271 lbs. ft. of torque through a 6-speed automatic transmission. FWD models achieve an EPA-estimated 37 mpg in city driving, making the hybrid an attractive option for drivers who spend plenty of time behind the wheel. Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive enhances traction in changing weather, while Drive Mode Select allows drivers to tailor the Santa Fe's character for different driving conditions. XRT models add Terrain Mode for additional confidence on loose surfaces like mud and sand. A Cabin That Understands Family Life The Santa Fe's interior feels designed by people who use SUVs. Three rows provide seating for up to 7 passengers, and the long wheelbase creates generous room throughout the cabin. Available second-row power captain's chairs fold, recline, and tilt at the touch of a button, making access to the third row noticeably easier while adding another layer of comfort for longer trips. Cargo flexibility is equally impressive. Fold the rear seats flat, and the Santa Fe offers up to 79.6 cu. ft. of cargo space, enough for camping equipment, luggage, home improvement supplies, or the collection of gear that somehow accompanies every family outing. Thoughtful touches like the bi-directional center console and high-power USB charging ports in the first two rows demonstrate that practicality often comes from the details. Technology That Feels Current Without Feeling Complicated Every 2026 Santa Fe includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen that serves as the center of the infotainment system, while XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy models add integrated navigation, Wi-Fi® hotspot capability, and expanded connected services. Limited and Calligraphy trims also feature a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, creating a clean dual-screen layout that presents information clearly without becoming distracting. Higher trims elevate the experience further with ventilated front seats, heated second-row seating, a Bose® 12-speaker premium audio system, and quilted Nappa leather seating surfaces that give the cabin a genuinely upscale feel. Safety Designed for the Everyday Drive Every Santa Fe includes Hyundai SmartSense, bringing together technologies that support drivers during routine commutes and longer road trips alike. Standard equipment includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Safe Exit Assist, and Driver Attention Warning. Upper trims add features such as a Blind-Spot View Monitor, Surround View Monitor, Remote Smart Parking Assist, and available Highway Driving Assist, providing additional confidence during highway travel and crowded parking situations. Connected Long After You Leave Home Bluelink+ extends the Santa Fe's convenience beyond the driver's seat. Using the MyHyundai with Bluelink® app, owners can remotely start the vehicle, adjust cabin temperature, lock or unlock the doors, and monitor vehicle status from a compatible smartphone. Over-the-Air software updates help keep the infotainment system current, while available Digital Key 2 Premium allows compatible devices to function as the vehicle key and even share access with trusted family members.
