Top Features & Highlights for the New 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe


Value and Pricing 

If you’re looking for value, the Hyundai Santa Fe is available at a significantly lower starting price, which is about $47,999, compared to the Honda Pilot, which is available from $56,496. Also, this significant gap allows you to get higher trims of the Hyundai Santa Fe at the same price you would pay for the base model of the Pilot. Moreover, the 2025 Santa Fe, along with being super budget-friendly for the features it offers and, of course, the three spacious seating rows, is also one of the most reliable and practical mid-size SUVs you can invest in. 

Reliability and Warranty 

Hyundai is one of the top brands in the industry, offering one of the best warranties, and the Santa Fe is no exception. It provides a 5-year/100,000 km comprehensive and powertrain warranty with 5 years/unlimited kilometres of Roadside Assistance, offering peace of mind to drivers. Honda also offers a good warranty, but Hyundai’s longer coverage provides greater long-term value. 

Technology and Innovation

With a 12.3-inch infotainment system with navigation, an available 12.3-inch gauge cluster with a panoramic curved display, single- and dual-wireless charging, a head-up display, and more such intuitive technology, the new 2025 Santa Fe delivers a more future-forward and customizable driving experience. The Honda Pilot also comes equipped with the conventional features found in almost every latest vehicle, like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and offers a standard 7-inch touchscreen and an available 9-inch touchscreen, which feels a little outdated compared to the more crisp, cutting-edge setup of the Hyundai Santa Fe.
