2027 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL vs Hybrid SEL: what's the difference?
The Hybrid SEL costs $1,100 more. MSRPs exclude $1,650 freight. Optional is $1,800; Limited 7P inventory configurations have the same ; factory ordering is not established. It starts at $38,940 with the 1.6L · 231 combined system, and the SEL at $37,840 with the 2.5L turbo gasoline . The Hybrid SEL adds a hybrid powertrain. It gets 36 , 12 more than the SEL's 24. It makes 231 hp, 46 less than the SEL's 277.
Our Santa Fe data has all nine current US 2027 gasoline/hybrid , all 17 standard trim/drive combinations, plus the specification-listed Limited seven-seat bench choice and their equipment. It doesn't have 2026 inventory, future facelift reports, non-US plug-ins, paint and upholstery colors, port/dealer , incentives, allocation guarantees and vehicle-specific towing/ calculations yet, so something missing from this page may still be offered.
