Hyundai Santa Fe: Canadian choices and Ontario listings

Separate the model year and the advertised powertrain

• Hyundai Canada's 2026 showroom describes seven seats as standard and six with available second-row captain's chairs.
• Its 2026 hybrid presentation identifies a 1.6-litre turbo hybrid with a six-speed automatic. A dealer's gasoline Santa Fe must be checked against its own configuration, not assigned hybrid specifications.
• The current showroom also presents 2027. Keep a 2026 listing and a 2027 quote separate, including the trim, equipment and warranty start date.

Choose a useful two-vehicle shortlist

Choose the seating arrangement before paying for extra equipment. If the third row is occasional, test how easily it folds and how much luggage fits with it raised. Compare a hybrid premium with your annual driving using matched equipment and actual quotes.

Put the quotes on the same basis

Record the exact year, trim, engine and drivetrain; advertised purchase price; fees and optional extras; Ontario HST and licensing; rate, term, down payment and trade equity. For a lease, include kilometres, residual, due-now cash and expiry. Compare the total obligation as well as the weekly or monthly amount.
