History/Overview
By this point, it should be obvious that Hyundai has its sights set on dominating the electric vehicle marketplace. The Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid is one of the newest examples of that dedication; it was introduced to the lineup last year.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
For 2023, the Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid is unchanged.
Available Trims
The Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid comes in a single Luxury trim level, powered by a 1.6L turbo four-cylinder engine and an electric motor, AWD, and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Standard Features
Every Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid comes with passive keyless entry, LED headlights, and 19-inch alloy wheels. Inside, you get leatherette upholstery, digital gauges, wireless phone charging, heated/ventilated/power-adjustable front seats, heated rear seats, dual-zone A/C, rear sunshades, an auto-dimming mirror, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a panoramic sunroof.
The Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid also comes with a suite of safety features comprising forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping/following assist, driver attention warning, automatic high beams, blind spot/rear cross-traffic collision mitigation, safe exit assist, rear occupant alert, and rear parking sensors.
(Note that last year, the Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid started out in a lower-priced Preferred trim level, but as we write this, Hyundai has not confirmed the return of that configuration for 2023.)
Fuel Economy
Hyundai’s energy consumption estimates for the Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid are 3.1 Le/100 km when using the car’s claimed 50 km of EV range, and 7.1/7.9 L/100 km in gas-electric hybrid mode.
Competition
The Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid’s key competitors are the Toyota RAV4 Prime and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
