Hyundai Santa Fe
With a distinctive look and a highly efficient hybrid powertrain, the Santa Fe is an attractive choice in the segment. For families, the Santa Fe can seat 6 or 7 passengers depending on the model. Its cargo volume is 413 litres behind the third row, but the tailgate opening makes this space much more versatile than its rivals. For 2026, the available 2.5-litre turbo engine is dropped from the Canadian lineup, making the Santa Fe hybrid-only.
