Introducing 2026 TUCSON and SANTA FE, which usher in revised pricing and an updated specification headlined by the addition of Hyundai Digital Key 2.
Along with Digital Key 2, which brings the convenience of entry and starting using a smartphone, 2026 TUCSON presents an updated colour palette and 17-inch alloys for the range-opener, with unique wheel designs for each powertrain.
In an evolution towards increasingly sustainable and efficient powertrains, the 2026 TUCSON model line-up shifts to being predominantly Hybrid, with the 2.0 MPi continuing as the only petrol option, and the 1.6 T-GDi discontinued.
2026 TUCSON is offered in a continuing three-trim line-up, with the N Line option pack now exclusively offered for the Elite and Premium trims.
Revised pricing sees 2026 TUCSON deliver greater value, and an even more compelling medium SUV package, with reductions ranging from $1000 to $2500 (Hyundai figures) depending on the variant.
2026 TUCSON also sees the introduction of a new exterior colour, Ecotronic Grey, which is offered in a pearl finish across the range and as a matte finish exclusively for N Line variants.
Other minor colour palette updates include the discontinuation of Titan Grey Metallic, and matte paint finishes now exclusive to Premium and N Line variants.
Meanwhile 2026 SANTA FE is offered in a continuing, feature-rich, three-trim line-up, also with Hyundai Digital Key 2 as standard, along with 18-inch alloys for the range-opener, with unique wheel designs for the 2.5T-GDi petrol and Hybrid powertrains.
2026 SANTA FE pricing increases by $400 across the range.
“We’re excited to introduce our updated 2026 SANTA FE and TUCSON line-ups which deliver enhanced appeal and value in the ever popular medium and large SUV segments,” said Hyundai Motor Company Australia Chief Executive Officer, Don Romano.
“Substantial price reductions for the newly Hybrid-focused 2026 TUCSON range, and the convenience of Hyundai Digital Key 2 as standard for both models, ensures these SUVs continue as compelling family vehicles in a competitive marketplace,” he said.
