The short version: Venue and Kona are the easiest to park and the most affordable. Tucson is the best all-around fit for most households and comes in more powertrains than any other Hyundai. Santa Fe and Palisade are the three-row picks for bigger families, and IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 9 are the all-electric options.
Small SUVs: Venue and Kona
Hyundai Venue
Subcompact · 5 seats · Gas
Hyundai's smallest and most affordable SUV. It's front-wheel drive only and sized for commuting and easy parking, with the higher seating position of an SUV.
Hyundai Kona
Subcompact · 5 seats · Gas
A step up in size and features from Venue, with available all-wheel drive and an available turbocharged engine. A good choice if you want a small SUV that still handles snowy mornings.
Compact SUVs: Tucson and IONIQ 5
Hyundai Tucson
Compact · 5 seats · Gas, hybrid or plug-in hybrid
The Hyundai SUV with the most choices. Pick gas, hybrid or plug-in hybrid, and front- or all-wheel drive, in a size that fits a family of four and a weekend's worth of gear.
Hyundai IONIQ 5
Compact · 5 seats · Electric
An all-electric compact SUV with fast DC charging, a flat floor and a roomy back seat. Available in rear- or all-wheel drive, including the off-road-styled XRT.
Three-Row SUVs: Santa Fe, Palisade and IONIQ 9
Hyundai Santa Fe
Midsize · 3 rows · Gas or hybrid
A boxy, practical three-row SUV with a wide rear opening and an available hybrid. The third row suits kids and short trips, which keeps the Santa Fe easier to park than a full-size SUV.
Hyundai Palisade
Large · 3 rows · Gas or hybrid
Hyundai's largest gas SUV, with seating for seven or eight and a third row adults can use. Choose the V6 or the hybrid, and up to Calligraphy-level luxury.
Hyundai IONIQ 9
Large · 3 rows · Electric
A three-row electric SUV with seating for six or seven, assembled in America. It's the pick for large families who want to stop buying gas.
Also Consider: Santa Cruz
Hyundai Santa Cruz
Compact pickup · 5 seats · Gas
Not an SUV, but often shopped like one. Santa Cruz is a compact pickup that seats five and drives like a Tucson, with an open bed for bikes, mulch and camping gear.
Every new Hyundai SUV includes a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty and 3 years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance. Looking for a hybrid or electric model? See our Hyundai Electrified lineup.

Hyundai SUV FAQs
The Venue is Hyundai's most affordable SUV. The Kona is the next step up in size and price, and adds available all-wheel drive. See each model page for current pricing.
The Santa Fe, Palisade and IONIQ 9 all have three rows. The Palisade has the roomiest third row and seats up to eight, while the IONIQ 9 is the all-electric three-row option.
The Tucson, Santa Fe and Palisade are all available as hybrids, and the Tucson also comes as a plug-in hybrid. The IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 9 are fully electric.
Every Hyundai SUV except the Venue offers all-wheel drive. The Venue is front-wheel drive only, so if you need AWD for Colorado winters, start with the Kona or larger.
New Hyundai SUVs come with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty. Hyundai also covers scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles.
No, the Santa Cruz is a compact pickup truck. It seats five and rides like an SUV, but it has an open bed instead of an enclosed cargo area.
Features and availability vary by trim and model year. See dealer for details.
