Hyundai of Grand Island – How the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE’s Three-Row Space and HTRAC All Wheel Drive Fit Life in Aurora, NE

If your weekly routine is a blend of morning carpools, late practices, and weekend escapes, the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE makes every mile simpler and more enjoyable around Aurora, NE. Hyundai gave this three-row SUV a long, upright stance that pays off with generous headroom and legroom, plus smart details that make living with a family vehicle feel easy. The available captain’s chairs are a highlight, offering power-recline comfort and an open pathway to the third row. Up front, a wide connected display pairs a fully digital instrument cluster with a large infotainment screen, so maps, calls, and apps are right where you expect them. From the driver’s seat, it is the small things that add up each day: a hands-free smart liftgate with auto open that senses your approach, available dual wireless device charging to cut cord clutter, and a center console that opens front and back so snacks and chargers are never out of reach.

All-weather confidence matters as much as space, and that is where available HTRAC All Wheel Drive earns its keep. Nebraska roads and weather can shift quickly; HTRAC helps by actively distributing torque for traction where and when it is needed, giving you a more settled feel in rain, slush, or on gravel. Pair HTRAC with the SANTA FE’s available ground clearance on the XRT and all-terrain tires, and you have a three-row SUV ready for trailheads, cabins, and game-day setups. Parking in tight lots is far less stressful thanks to the available Surround View Monitor for a bird’s-eye perspective and the available Remote Smart Parking Assist, which can help you guide the vehicle into or out of a space while you stand to the side. Confidence on the highway is supported by driver assistance features like Lane Following Assist and Highway Driving Assist or Highway Driving Assist 2 on top trims, so long drives back from tournaments feel more relaxed and focused.

Everyday family space: Three rows with available captain’s chairs, a center console accessible from both sides, and an available full-display digital rearview mirror make daily life easier.
All-weather traction: Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive and, on XRT, additional ground clearance with all-terrain tires deliver reassuring control on changing roads.
Smart connectivity: Bluelink+ remote services, Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium, and available dual wireless device charging keep your crew connected.
Parking made simple: Available Surround View Monitor and available Remote Smart Parking Assist help reduce stress when lots are crowded.
