2021 Hyundai Santa-Fe Hybrid Review

Hyundai has finally taken the plunge into the hybrid SUV world with the addition of a hybrid powertrain to its 2021 Santa Fe model. The Santa Fe’s redesign goes far beyond just a pretty face–Hyundai completely redesigned the gas powertrains while adding a hybrid version with the promise of a plug-in hybrid version to follow.

The addition of a hybrid powertrain to the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe provides another option to buyers looking to maximize value and be environmentally conscious. The new 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid in Ottawa, and other Canadian, markets, will pair a 178-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-litre Smartstream engine with a six-speed automatic transmission and 59-horsepower electric motor. Fuel economy is expected to be around 7.8 L/100km.

The hybrid powertrain will not only offer efficiency and fuel economy benefits–it will represent a new high-performance model in Hyundai’s lineup. The hybrid version will be paired with all-wheel drive to ensure that the SUV can tackle the toughest of terrain and harshest of conditions.

 

Other Enhancements

 

The hybrid powertrain is an exciting addition to the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe, but it is not the only one. Hyundai’s redesign of the Santa Fe meant innovation across all areas, and the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid includes the new features in its quest to become a force in Ottawa.

The Hyundai Digital Key allows compatible smartphones to unlock doors and start the engine of the 2021 Santa Fe. A Surround View Monitor allows drivers to become more aware of what is around the vehicle, both for occupant safety and pedestrian safety.

Blind spot systems are incredibly helpful in protecting vehicles in tight traffic situations, and Hyundai has taken that a step further with its blind-spot view monitor, which shows a video fee of the Santa Fe’s blind spots. Wireless device charging, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster round out the new innovations that drivers can expect in the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid.
