Hyundai Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid & Palisade: Get Smart in Your Next SUV
From long-haul Parkway commutes to snow-covered Sussex County mornings, New Jersey drivers need SUVs that can handle anything this state throws their way — including the occasional mystery detour that somehow adds 30 minutes to your drive. That’s why the Hyundai Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid, and Hyundai Palisade stand out as top picks for NJ families, commuters, and weekend explorers. Each one delivers smart technology, impressive efficiency, and all-weather capability to take on everything from Route 15 traffic to winding country roads — earning them spots in Nielsen Editorial’s Best Midsize SUVs for NJ Drivers.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is the perfect mix of comfort, versatility, and everyday practicality. With available all-wheel drive (AWD) and a spacious interior, it’s built for busy commutes, road trips to the Shore, and last-minute ShopRite runs that turn into a full-trunk situation (because somehow, you always end up with more than what was on your list).
Want SUV space with hybrid efficiency? The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid offers up to 36 MPG combined, meaning fewer stops at the pump and more cash for important things — like tolls and post-game pizza runs. Whether you’re navigating stop-and-go traffic on Route 206 or cruising up to High Point for a hike, this hybrid keeps your ride smooth, quiet, and efficient — unlike that guy who thinks blasting his horn will magically make traffic move faster.
For those who need three-row seating and premium comfort, the Hyundai Palisade is a game-changer. With room for up to eight passengers, a luxurious cabin, and advanced safety features, it’s perfect for family road trips, carpools, and packing half the house for a weekend at the Poconos. And because NJ weather is unpredictable at best, its available HTRAC AWD system ensures you stay in control no matter if it’s raining, snowing, or doing both at the same time just to keep things interesting.
