The Hyundai SANTA FE Calligraphy Hybrid was named Best Family-Friendly Car at the fifth annual Modern Parenting Parent’s Choice Awards held last Saturday, August 29, 2026, at the Hilton Manila Ballroom in Newport World Resorts.
The awarding ceremony recognized products and brands that help improve the lives of modern families, with winners selected based on their ability to meet the evolving needs of Filipino households. The SANTA FE Hybrid emerged as the top choice for Best Family Car under the Must-Have’s category.
Designed to suit the diverse needs of modern families, the Hyundai SANTA FE Hybrid combines spaciousness, comfort, safety, and efficiency in a bold SUV package. Its longer wheelbase provides class-leading interior space, offering greater comfort for passengers across all three rows. Fully foldable second and third row seats also provide increased flexibility, allowing families to maximize cargo capacity for road trips, outdoor adventures, and everyday errands.
The SANTA FE Hybrid’s powertrain delivers efficient performance, while Hyundai SmartSense, its suite of advanced safety technologies that includes features like Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision Avoidance Assist, and Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, gives drivers more confidence behind the wheel. These features make it a practical companion for families navigating both daily commutes and long-distance journeys.
