CardinaleWay Hyundai – Why the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE Hybrid Calligraphy Elevates Daily Driving around Irvine, CA
If you want a flagship three-row hybrid SUV that feels like a serene lounge on wheels, the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE Hybrid Calligraphy belongs at the top of your list. It pairs a refined 1.6L turbocharged GDI hybrid engine with a special six-speed automatic for 231 combined horsepower and smooth, confident response. Families love its generous third-row space, easy-folding seats, and smart storage touches, while drivers appreciate the quiet cabin and sophisticated tech. Highway Driving Assist 2 helps with lane centering and distance keeping, Blind-Spot View Monitor shows a live camera feed in the cluster when you signal, and Surround View Monitor makes it easier to maneuver in tight lots. Add Remote Smart Parking Assist, and you can guide the vehicle into or out of a spot with the Smart Key—no stressful back-and-forth.
Inside, Calligraphy leans into high-end comfort and craftsmanship. Nappa leather seating surfaces, a driver seat with relaxation function, and tasteful materials elevate long drives from chore to pleasure. Available dual wireless device charging and a full-display digital rearview mirror reduce clutter and improve sightlines, while the 12.3-inch touchscreen keeps your maps and entertainment in easy reach. Families also benefit from standard Hyundai SmartSense features like Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2 and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist deepen your safety net when traffic gets hectic. When the day calls for a trailhead or stormy freeway, available HTRAC All Wheel Drive adds all-weather poise without sacrificing the smooth, quiet ride that defines Calligraphy.
