When Hyundai announced the release of the first-ever hybrid version of the Hyundai Santa Fe, drivers went wild with anticipation.

This SUV takes everything you love about the Santa Fe and adds a fuel-efficient hybrid engine. What’s best is that the Santa Fe Hybrid costs only a little bit more than the gasoline-powered option but makes up for it with savings at the pump.

Go Farther For Less

While the Santa Fe Hybrid comes with the same engine that you’ll find in its gas-powered counterpart, it offers some significant differences. Both versions are equipped with a 1.6-liter engine, but the hybrid adds an electric motor to the mix.

The hybrid engine has an EPA-estimated 32 mpg combined, which towers over the 24 mpg combined you’ll get with the non-hybrid powertrain. You’ll also enjoy 226 horsepower from the hybrid engine, which is more than the 191 hp provided by the base-level gas engine.

Take Your New Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Anywhere

Whether you’re looking for a daily commuter or something that adds adventure to your weekends, the new Santa Fe Hybrid is on the job. From camping trips to cross-country journeys to weekend get-a-ways, you’ll be all set with a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.

To make bringing your trailer along easier than ever, the Santa Fe also offers trailer sway control. When this system senses your trailer swaying on the road, a warning light flashes to provide a clear warning. Your Santa Fe will then also automatically reduce engine throttle and lightly engage your brakes to make sure your SUV is stabilized and safe.

The Future is Digital

No one can ever say that Hyundai doesn’t load its vehicles with some amazing tech. The new Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid comes with a massive 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a high-resolution 10.25-inch touchscreen. You won’t find features like this in the competition.

Enjoy every drive with the addition of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Access your smartphone apps, contacts, and more without the messy wires getting in the way. Take your wireless adventure even further with the available wireless charging pad.

Updated Safety

Along with a completely muscular powertrain and efficient engine, you’re new Santa Fe helps give you extra confidence on every trek. Hyundai made sure to load this SUV with the most advanced driver-assist features available.

From systems that help you stay in your lane to options that can automatically take action to avoid collisions, you’ll have complete peace of mind. One of the most notable features is the all-new Remote Smart Parking Assist. Even if you’re not in your SUV, this system can back into and pull out of parking spaces with the press of a button.

Definitely Worth a Look

With a similar price as the gas-powered Santa Fe and tons of advances, the Santa Fe Hybrid is worth a little more consideration than other hybrid SUVs. You’ll enjoy greater gas mileage and top-of-the-line tech at every trim level.

While you’re considering your options, don’t forget that Hyundai offers American’s Best Warranty, which means you can enjoy longer and more comprehensive coverage without having to pay a penny more.
