Performance
With its dynamic pairing of a turbocharged petrol direct injection and powerful battery-powered electric motor, the SANTA FE Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid are taking fuel efficiency to the next level. The hybrid switches seamlessly between the electric motor and conventional engine, sometimes utilising both at the same time.
The SANTA FE Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid are built on an entirely new platform designed with hybrids in mind. This allows lots of smart innovations – for example, the battery now sits under the passenger seats, providing a boost in efficiency with no impact on cabin or luggage space.
The 13.8 kWh high- power battery of the SANTA FE Plug-in Hybrid has superior charge/discharge characteristics, maximizing both electric driving and energy storage. Developed 6-speed automatic transmission further enhances SANTA FE’s Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid impressive efficiency credentials. The Diesel powered variants are coupled with a Dual Clutch Transmission providing ideal performance for everyday driving and towing.
