2027 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Trim Levels Compared

Four Trims, One Hybrid Powertrain, and Plenty of Indiana Miles

Four trims, one hybrid system, and a long list of features can make a three-row SUV feel harder to pick than it should be. The Santa Fe Hybrid gives Indianapolis families a lot to like. It handles stop-and-go on I-465 and has room for the whole crew on weekend trips. This guide walks through what changes as you move up the trim ladder.

• Every 2027 Santa Fe Hybrid trim shares the same 231 horsepower hybrid system, so your choice comes down to features and seating.
• Starting MSRP runs from $36,650 for the SE to $48,950 for the Calligraphy, before freight, tax, title, and license fees.
• EPA estimates reach 37 city, 36 highway, and 36 combined mpg with front-wheel drive, or 35, 34, and 35 with available HTRAC all-wheel drive.

One Hybrid System Under Every Hood

Good news first. Every trim shares the same setup. A turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder teams up with an electric motor. Together they make 231 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque through a 6-speed automatic. The gas engine alone makes 178 horsepower. With front-wheel drive, the EPA city number of 37 mpg tops the 36 mpg highway number. Sit through enough rush hour on I-65 and I-465 and you’ll be glad for that. HTRAC all-wheel drive is optional on every trim, and it’s worth a look if you cover snowy Indiana roads in January. A full tank gives an EPA-estimated range of 637 miles with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive gets 620 miles.

SE and SEL for Daily Commuters

The SE starts at $36,650 and still seats seven. You get 18-inch alloy wheels and stain-resistant cloth seats, which parents will love. A 12.3-inch touchscreen brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a hands-free smart liftgate is standard too. The SEL at $38,940 adds heated front seats and an 8-way power driver seat. Wireless phone charging, roof rails, and USB ports for third-row riders come along for the ride. Both keep a 4.2-inch color display in the gauge cluster.

Limited and Calligraphy for Longer Trips

The Limited costs $45,950 and changes the feel of the cabin. Leather-trimmed seats, 20-inch wheels, and a dual-pane sunroof all come standard. So do ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. Navigation and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster join the party, along with Surround View Monitor and Remote Smart Parking Assist. Second-row captain’s chairs make it a six-seater, though a seven-passenger bench is optional. The Calligraphy at $48,950 adds Nappa leather and a relaxation seat for the driver. It also brings a 12-inch head-up display, a digital rearview mirror, and Highway Driving Assist 2. Seating drops to six.

Built for Hoosier Weekends

Cargo space measures 14.6 cubic feet behind the third row, 40.5 behind the second row, and 79.6 behind the front seats. That handles a stroller and a Greenwood Park Mall shopping haul. It also fits a loaded cooler for race weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Picture a fall drive to Brown County State Park with the third row folded for extra gear room. A run up I-65 to Indiana Dunes needs few fuel stops thanks to that 637-mile range. Towing tops out at 2,000 pounds with trailer brakes. That’s enough for a small utility trailer on a weekend at Lake Monroe.

Picking the Trim That Fits Your Commute

Families who want captain’s chairs, a sunroof, Surround View Monitor, and Remote Smart Parking Assist should look at the Limited. The Calligraphy tops the lineup with the head-up display and Nappa leather. Whichever you choose, the hybrid system stays the same, so the decision comes down to what you want inside.
