- Hyundai has released more information on the 2021 Santa Fe hybrid.
- It costs between $34,835 and $41,135 and offers up to 34 mpg.
- Blue, SEL Premium, and Limited trim levels are offered for the hybrid model.
The new hybrid version of the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe costs more than the nonhybrid version but offers a considerable improvement in fuel efficiency. Rated at up to 34 mpg combined by the EPA, the hybrid model comes standard with all-wheel drive and costs $34,835 to start.
Although all Santa Fe hybrids are powered by the same turbocharged 1.6-liter gas engine and electric motor, the base model, called Blue, is the most efficient version. The better-equipped SEL Premium ($38,785) and Limited ($41,135) versions are rated at a slightly lower 32 mpg combined. By comparison, nonhybrid AWD Santa Fe models are rated at 24 mpg combined regardless if you choose the 191-hp naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four or the more powerful 277-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter engine. The hybrid model’s total power output of 225 horsepower slots in neatly between the two gasoline engines.
A plug-in-hybrid version of the Santa Fe is also on its way. It will feature a larger battery pack that will provide an estimated electric driving range of 30 miles. Hyundai hasn’t yet announced a price for the plug-in model but says it will start around $35,000.
The conventional hybrid will arrive first, hitting dealerships this spring, while the plug-in-hybrid will arrive later for the 2022 model year.
