Features.
Explore the features of the SANTA FE Plug-in Hybrid.
More comfort. More safety. More sophisticated tech.
With its extra focus on comfort and functionality, the SANTA FE Plug-in Hybrid is at the top of its class. Featuring an expanded selection of premium smart tech like the new plug-in hybrid powertrain, first-class safety features and cutting-edge connectivity.
Performance
New hybrid powertrain for more efficiency and power.
The innovative full-parallel hybrid drive system delivers 265 PS combined power output from its new 180 PS 1.6-litre T-GDi engine and 66.9 kW electric motor. The powerful 13.8 kWh battery also gives you an all-electric mode at the push of a button. Once the electric-only range is depleted, it switches seamlessly back to the petrol engine so you can go as far as you need to – and plug in to recharge later.
Energy flow.
-
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 Plug-in 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.
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.
-
Regenerative Braking.
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.
Drive and terrain mode selector.
HTRAC™ All-wheel drive system.
-

Comfort Mode.
Comfort mode offers improved stability. Under slippery conditions, the system automatically distributes power to all four wheels. -
2
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.
Charging
Multiple convenient ways to charge.
Thanks to its innovative powertrain technology, charging your SANTA FE Plug-in Hybrid can be quick and convenient. Choose from home installation options and the ever-increasing number of public charging stations when you’re out and about. When you’re plugged in at home, you can remotely schedule charging via your smartphone and Bluelink® app during low-demand hours for lower rates.
-
Programmable charging.
The SANTA FE Plug in Hybrid's advanced battery management system gives you complete control over when and how you want to charge it. Pick a time that best fits your schedule and budget, with clear overview of remaining charging time.
-
Charging time reservation.
A few taps is all it takes to save money. Use the scheduled charging function to program start and stop charging times to make the most of off-peak electricity rates and wake up to a fully charged battery.
-
Charging limit.
Set a Charging Limit – for example 50% – to take advantage of a fast-charger station in the city for the drive home – and then fully charge the battery at home while you’re sleep to take advantage of low electricity rates at night.
