- The Hyundai Santa Fe adds a plug-in-hybrid variant for the 2022 model year, which joins traditional hybrid and gas-powered versions.
- The Santa Fe PHEV starts at $40,535 for the SEL trim and $46,545 for the Limited, which adds a 360-degree camera, ventilated leather seats, and other goodies.
- The PHEV uses a 177-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder mated to a 90-hp electric motor, which gets its juice from a 12.4-kWh battery for an electric-only range of 31 miles, according to the EPA.
The Hyundai Santa Fe received a significant refresh for 2021, gaining a bold new grille up front and a trendy full-width taillight around back. There were also new powertrains, including a traditional hybrid setup, but for 2022 the Santa Fe gets even more eco-friendly with the addition of a plug-in-hybrid variant. We learned the details of the PHEV’s powertrain earlier this year and now Hyundai has released pricing information for the Santa Fe plug-in hybrid.
The plug-in powertrain comes on two trim levels. The base SEL starts at $40,535 and nets you Hyundai’s digital key, Smart Sense safety features, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and an 8.0-inch infotainment screen. Upgrading to the Limited will cost $46,545 and adds the Smart Park system, a 360-degree camera, ventilated leather seats, and a 10.3-inch infotainment screen. All Santa Fe PHEVs are powered by a 177-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder and 90-hp electric motor feeding off a 12.4-kWh battery. The system sends the combined 260 hp to all four wheels, and the PHEV gets an EPA-estimated 33 combined mpg and 31 miles of pure electric driving range.
Although the Santa Fe PHEV is the only plug-in in its size class, it competes against the smaller Toyota RAV4 Prime and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV for electrified-crossover sales. The 2022 RAV4 Prime SE is slightly cheaper at $39,565, while the more luxurious XSE goes for $42,890, and the Prime can extract an EPA-estimated 42 miles from its 18.1-kWh battery. A plug-in Outlander based on the new model is due soon, but for 2022 the Outlander PHEV carries over from the third generation. Pricing for the cheapest SEL starts at $37,890, undercutting both the Santa Fe and RAV4, while the LE starts at 39,590 and the GT goes for $43,590. The Outlander PHEV can go 24 miles thanks to a 13.8-kWh battery. The Santa Fe goes on sale this summer, but is only available in 11 states.
