Hyundai Santa Fe Curb Weight: 4,442 lbs

The lightest 2015 record is 3,459 lbs; the lightest 2026 record is 4,442 lbs — 983 lbs heavier (28.4%).

At the top of the range the 2026 file reaches 4,442 lbs against 4,339 lbs in 2015, a 103 lbs increase — driven by which configurations exist, not by the same truck gaining mass.

At 55/45, the 4,442 lbs puts about 2,443 lbs on the front axle and 1,999 lbs on the rear — 444 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

Ranked on the lightest configuration of each nameplate, the Santa Fe is 79 of 98 in Small Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, 395 lbs above the 3,948 lbs median and lighter than 19 of its peers.

The published 17.7-gallon tank holds about 108 lbs of gasoline at 6.1 lb per gallon, and curb weight is measured with it full. Run it to empty and the 4dr SUV AWD Hev is effectively a 4,334 lbs vehicle — 2.4% of the figure quoted above is fuel you will burn off.

With a With Tow Prep Package configuration, the 2027 Santa Fe is rated to pull 3,500 lbs — 0.8 times the 4,442 lbs the heaviest recorded truck weighs by itself, and 0.8 times the 4,442 lbs of the lightest.

That rating belongs to the With Tow Prep Package build, not to every truck on this page: a 4dr SUV AWD Hev starts 0 lbs deeper into the combined rating than a 4dr SUV AWD Hev before a trailer is coupled.

The towing figure on file is for 2027; the weights above are 2026 records.
