New 2026 Hyundai Palisade SEL Convenience

This trim combines the benefits of the SE (entry hybrid) level with the AWD option, so you get a lot of value & capability. Key strengths: Feature Benefit / Why It Matters Fuel efficiency The 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid has excellent gas mileage for its size. With AWD, its rated about 35 city / 34 highway / 34 combined mpg. That's a big improvement over many nonhybrid midsize SUVs. Hybrid power & torque The hybrid setup (1.6L turbo + electric motor) gives you about 231 combined horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. That's solid for everyday driving plus highway merging/towing. The electric assistance helps responsiveness at lower RPMs. All-wheel drive capability The AWD (Hyundais HTRAC system) gives better traction in snow, rain, and slippery roads. If you're in a climate with winter or unpaved roads this adds safety and confidence. Modern tech & safety features Even the SE trim is well equipped: wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Hyundais driver assist systems (lane keeping, adaptive cruise, etc.). Warranty & long term reliability Hyundai offers a strong warranty on hybrids, including a 10-year / 100,000-mile warranty on the hybrid/electric battery/powertrain components. That reduces risk if problems arise. 3-row seating Even at this trim you get three rows (seven seats in base SE). Good for families, transporting people, or carpooling. Third row is best for occasional / children use. Lower operating costs Because of better fuel economy + hybrid system you'll likely spend less on gas, and possibly maintenance, than a comparable non-hybrid AWD SUV. Over time those savings can add up.
