Features
Explore the features of the SANTA FE Hybrid.
More sophisticated tech. More comfort and safety.
The SANTA FE Hybrid is at the top of its class with an extra focus on comfort and functionality backed up by an expanded selection of premium smart tech like the new Smartstream hybrid powertrain as well as first-class safety and connectivity features.
Performance
New hybrid powertrain for more efficiency and power.
With its dynamic tandem of a turbocharged petrol direct injection and powerful battery-powered electric motor, the SANTA FE Hybrid is taking fuel efficiency to the next level. All without you having to charge a battery or change your driving habits. The Hybrid switches seamlessly between the electric motor and conventional engine, sometimes utilizing both at the same time.
More performance. Less emissions. CVVD Engine Technology.
Hyundai has developed the world’s first Continuously Variable Valve Duration (CVVD) technology. It optimizes engine performance and fuel efficiency while also being eco-friendly. The valve control technology regulates the duration of valve opening and closing according to driving conditions.
Energy flow.
Depending on the driving situation, the SANTA FE Hybrid switches seamlessly between its petrol engine and electric motor. The regenerative braking system charges the battery by using the electric motor to slow the car. The energy stored in the battery then powers the electric motor to help in acceleration, uphill driving and low speed driving. This complex energy flow is illustrated here.
-
Start/ Low Speed.
When starting or driving at low speed, the electricity stored in the battery powers the electric motor to accelerate the SANTA FE Hybrid.
-
Acceleration/Uphill.
During heavy acceleration or driving uphill, the electric motor and petrol engine work in pararell to maximise acceleration and minimise fuel consumption.
-
Constant Speed.
At constant speeds, power is provided by either the petrol engine or the electric motor, whichever is the most energy-efficient in that situation.
-
Deceleration/Downhill.
The regenerative braking system charges the battery by using the electric motor to slow the car. When decelerating or driving downhill, the energy generated is stored in the battery.
-
Regenerative Braking.
When decelerating (e.g. through braking or when driving downhill) the electric motor operates as a generator and regenerates kinetic energy into electric energy, which is then stored in the battery.
Drive and terrain mode selector.
Snow or sand? Sport or Eco? You choose. You can easily switch drive modes to suit conditions – and your mood! Select Sport mode for enhanced performance with modified throttle response, shift points and steering effort. Eco mode delivers peak fuel efficiency with modified acceleration, shift points and air conditioning performance. Select Comfort mode for regular performance with good efficiency.
HTRAC™ All-wheel drive system.
Bad weather? Hairpin curves? No problem. The SANTA FE is available with the innovative HTRAC™ All-Wheel Drive system for optimum handling and cornering performance – which makes driving slippery city streets and bumpy country roads safer and much more relaxed.

Eco Mode.
ECO mode provides improved fuel efficiency by sending power to the front wheels only. Under slippery conditions, power is automatically distributed to all four wheels. -
2
Sport Mode.
Sport mode delivers improved acceleration with up to 50 % torque distributed to the rear wheels. Under slippery conditions, power is automatically shifted to all four wheels. -
Smart Mode.
Smart mode adapts to your driving style and road conditions in real time, automatically switching between Eco, Sport and Comfort to deliver optimal performance.
Connectivity
Cutting-edge connectivity to go.
Naturally, the SANTA FE Hybrid has also been upgraded with all the latest smart tech like smart phone mirroring and cutting edge connectivity features like Bluelink® Connected Car Services, which lets you control your car from your smartphone – or with your voice. A free five-year subscription to Hyundai’s LIVE Services is included with the 10.25” big screen navigation system.
Convenience
Clever comfort and convenience.
The SANTA FE Hybrid offers you the very best in comfort and convenience with a highly versatile seating system and smart everyday helpers like a Smart Power Tailgate and tailgate open guide. You and your family and friends will appreciate the increased 2nd and 3rd row legroom, even more trunk capacity and plenty of clever storage compartments strategically placed throughout the interior.
Highly versatile seating.
Packing for a big trip? You can slide the 60/40 split-folding second-row seats to fit both passengers and cargo with ease. A simple push of a button is all it takes to fold the 2nd seat row down and out of the way for easy entry to the back row of seats. Enjoy first class comfort for up to 7 passengers as well as plenty of cargo space.
KRELL premium sound system.
KRELL's premium audio system delivers stellar sound performance. 10 high-end speakers treat everyone on board to an amazing surround sound experience, driven by a premium 12 channel amplifier with a total output power 589 watt. KRELL Automotive is the premium car audio brand developed by KRELL, a leading high-end audio company headquartered in the USA.
-
Smart power tailgate.
Enjoy easy loading. The smart power tailgate opens automatically when the driver approaches the car and the proximity of the smart key is detected. -
Tailgate open guide.
This clever feature makes sure that you always have enough room to open the tailgate safely – like for example when parked backwards with the tailgate facing a wall. -
Surround view monitor.
Tight parking garage? Small car wash? No problem. The surround view monitor in the SANTA FE makes manoeuvring confined spaces easy and safer. -
Integrated Memory System.
Enjoy maximum comfort at the push of a button. The Integrated Memory Seat controls the position of the backrest, seat length and cushion length, adjusting the seat to saved settings for 2 drivers.
Safety
Keeping you and yours safer.
New state-of-the-art Hyundai Smart Sense safety features and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems like Highway Drive Assist and Parking Rear Collision Avoidance bring the SANTA FE Hybrid in line with competitors from the premium class. There’s even a new Remote Smart Parking Assist that will park your car for you.
-
Blind Spot View Monitor (BVM).
Now you can see the rearward left- and right-hand side views of the Santa Fe Hybrid on a screen in the digital cluster. The cameras are activated by the use of the turn indicator during lane changes. -
Safe Exit Assist.
This clever feature prevents accidents by detecting vehicles approaching from behind and temporarily locking the rear child lock doors, so that passengers can only exit the car when it is safe to do so. -
Rear Occupant Alert.
Ultrasonic sensors monitor the rear seats: When the driver exits the vehicle, an in-dash message pops up. If it detects movement after exiting, it will honk the horn and flash the lights.
Protecting you and your loved ones.
The SANTA FE Hybrid is designed to protect you and your passengers. Next to six airbags: two front, two side and two curtain airbags – significant improvements in collision safety have been achieved thanks to the all-new Hyundai vehicle platform. It enables the car to better absorb the impact in the event of a collision while at the same time minimising the deformation of the passenger space.
