The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid doesn’t feel like a sports car since it has a small engine and weighs more than 4,000 pounds. However, that doesn’t prevent it from being smooth and fast at low speeds, nor does it hinder the ability to handle itself competently while driving in urban environments.
Its six-speed automatic transmission provides smoother shifts than a CVT. Its Snow Mode changes the power characteristics to ensure confident and effective performance during those long winter drives. Santa Fe’s suspension also provides a very comfortable ride, regardless of the road conditions.
The Santa Fe Hybrid’s interior is incredibly roomy. Even tall passengers and those with long legs have no issues sitting in the back seat. The front seats offer excellent comfort and support, especially for those long-distance drives.
Its trunk is also large enough to fit several people’s luggage and much more. The car also has plenty of storage compartments to carry smaller items, such as cellphones, keys, wallets and other small stuff.
The EPA rates the Santa Fe Hybrid for 33 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on highways. The EPA’s rating includes a five-cycle combined city and highway driving test.
Santa Fe’s battery provides the engine with juice when needed, so the engine doesn’t have to run all the time. This allows the car to achieve greater fuel efficiency.
Believe it or not, the vehicle has a built-in safety feature that beeps loudly when you are backing up. The beeping noise is loud enough to attract pedestrians’ attention, especially those who are visually impaired.
This ensures that pedestrians are not running into the back of your vehicle. In fact, it would also catch the attention of other drivers behind you.
The Santa Fe also has several other safety features, such as ABS, Brake Assist, Electronic Brake Distribution, Brake Fade Compensation, Electronic Stability Control, Hill-start Assist Control, and Traction Control.
With its roomy interior, Santa Fe is one of the best vehicles to buy for a family that has children or pets. Santa Fe’s built-in cargo cover prevents messes from spilling all over the car.
Newer Santa Fe models have a rear window shade, which further reduces the chances of your luggage spilling out of the trunk. It has a maximum cargo capacity of 67 cubic feet.
Santa Fe is also a very safe car for kids. It has a reinforced roof, which supports the safety of the child in case of rollovers. The car also has a child-seat tether anchor system and two sets of lower LATCH tethers, in case you have both child seats and boosters.
Many Santa Fe models also come with front-seat active front headrests with a built-in whiplash protection system and a three-point seat belt.
To say the least, it is a well-thought-out vehicle that serves the needs of a modern family.
The overall design of Santa Fe is aesthetically pleasing. The interior is roomy, comfortable, safe and functional. It is also powered by a strong engine and has an impressive fuel economy. To top it off, it offers exceptional value for the money.
It is not a sports car, but it is a very capable family vehicle. For those in need of a reliable car that offers a lot of room and comfort, the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is one of the best choices currently available.

What is a serpentine belt? Hyundai vehicles are equipped with a serpentine belt, also known as a drive belt. Serpentine belts have replaced other types of belts because a single belt is more compact, less expensive to replace and simpler to install compared to multiple belts. By “snaking” around the various pulleys, both sides of a serpentine belt can grip and be used to drive components in the...
