Jones Bel Air Hyundai - Why the 2026 SANTA FE XRT Fits Family Trails and Tailgates around Glen Burnie, MD
Family weekends are where plans and possibilities collide. That’s exactly where the SANTA FE XRT feels right at home. It stands out with all-terrain tires, additional ground clearance, and HTRAC All Wheel Drive to help you leave the pavement without leaving comfort behind. Even better, the XRT’s rugged accents, black chrome front grille, and 18-inch dark alloy wheels add visual muscle that looks as prepared as it feels. Inside, big digital displays keep maps and media within easy reach, while dual wireless device charging cuts cable clutter and simplifies life with kids, coolers, and gear. Highway Driving Assist plus Smart Cruise Control 2 support confident highway miles, then Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Curve Control adapts smoothly for winding stretches into the woods or along the shoreline.
Beyond specs, what sets the XRT apart is how effortlessly it toggles from weekday to weekend. The hands-free smart liftgate with auto open is a small feature with big impact when you return to the vehicle arms full of folding chairs or hiking packs. With seats folded, a wide, flat cargo area is perfect for tailgate gatherings at the ball field and starry nights when you turn the SANTA FE into a makeshift basecamp. The AC power outlet becomes a game-changer when you want to inflate a mattress, plug in a projector, or charge a camera.
