When you set out on a new adventure, you should be confident that your SUV will be ready to overcome whatever stands in your way. The Santa Fe Hybrid has all that—and more—ready to take you on a thrilling journey, and it will help you save money and time at the gas station, too.
When you look under the hood of your Santa Fe Hybrid, you’ll see a 1.6L turbo engine ready to rev up and take over the road. Combined with the 270V lithium ion battery, it’s a smooth-driving motor that has what it takes to make downtown drives easy and highway adventures exciting.
| Net Horsepower | 231 HP |
|---|---|
| Torque | 271 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 6-speed automatic with SHIFTRONIC® |
| Drivetrain | Front Wheel Drive |
If you need more control for an off-road rendezvous, the available HTRAC All Wheel Drive system provides more traction. You can even hitch a trailer and tow up to 2,000 pounds of extra gear for your weekend of R&R.
The hybrid system supplements traditional gas with an electric motor to dramatically boost fuel economy. It’s a subject that every driver has a stake in, as a vehicle that gets more miles per gallon is a wise investment for all the years ahead.
The Santa Fe Hybrid arrives on the scene with an impressive and efficient system. It earns an EPA-estimated 36 city/35 highway MPG when properly equipped.* Since it’s paired with a 17.7-gallon fuel tank, you’ll be able to drive far between pit stops.
You and your family will spend a lot of time inside the cabin, which means it should be designed for long-term comfort. The Santa Fe Hybrid is just as impressive on the inside as it is while cruising down the highway. Everyone on board will find something to appreciate whenever you return for the next ride.
A roomy cabin is better for everyone, especially when your whole family is along for the ride. Everyone in all three rows will have enough space to stretch out and settle in for a long trip, so every seat will seem like the best seat.

With 14.6 cubic feet of space behind the third row and 40.5 cubic feet behind the second, you’ll have lots of room for stowing luggage, shopping bags, and sports equipment. You can easily fold down the rear seats if you’re packing a lot of gear for your solo adventure. That will open up to 79.6 cubic feet of cargo volume to use as you need.
All seven passengers will have space to enjoy inside the Santa Fe Hybrid. The 8-way power driver seat with available 4-way lumbar support lets you find your ideal position for the next trip. The standard heating and available ventilation will keep you and your copilot suitably comfortable in any weather.
Your passengers will also have plenty of opportunities to stay charged and ready. The four standard USB ports split between the first two rows allow for easy charging, and two available ports for the third row give the back seat extra function. Standard wireless charging can keep your device powered up even more conveniently.
A smarter drive also includes having intelligent tech at your fingertips. You’ll find state-of-the-art systems that make driving more engaging and secure. The Santa Fe Hybrid will quickly become your friends’ favorite SUV for group trips.
As you buckle up and get ready to ride, you can stay connected and in control thanks to a variety of intuitive infotainment features. The standard 12.3-inch touchscreen is centrally located for easy operation, and its expansive size makes it easier to glance at different options while on the go. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support allows you to seamlessly bring your favorite apps and more to the screen.
If you’re a true music fanatic, the available Bose® premium audio system is a must-have. It uses 12 speakers throughout the cabin to bring your playlist to life with high-quality sound. You can easily command your system to start playing your favorite artists with available Dynamic Voice Recognition, too.
Anything is possible out on the road, and you’ll want to be prepared for whatever might happen. This is especially true when your family is traveling with you—safety is always a prime concern. That’s why the Santa Fe Hybrid comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense technologies:
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
- Driver Attention Warning
- Safe Exit Assist
This suite of driver-assistive systems acts as an intelligent copilot that keeps an eye out for you on all sides, helping ensure greater peace of mind when you’re behind the wheel.
If you want your SUV to be as unique as you are, the Santa Fe Hybrid gives you the options you need. It has additional trims and exterior paint finishes compared to the Kia Sorento Hybrid. Along with more customization, the Santa Fe Hybrid has more power that it’s ready to unleash.
