Hyundai has started accepting orders for the 2023 Santa Fe Hybrid in Australia. This is the brand’s first electrified high-rider on sale locally, and it is available in two grades, named the Elite and Highlander.
Pricing kicks off at AU$63,000 (equal to US$41,770) and AU$69,550 (US$46,115), respectively, making it more expensive than the equivalent versions of the gasoline- and diesel-powered Santa Fe. The V6 starts at AU$56,500 (US$37,460) for the Elite, and AU$63,050 (US$41,805) for the Highlander, and the oil burner at AU$60,000 (US$39,780), and AU$66,550 (US$44,125), respectively.
Both of them are well equipped, featuring a plethora of gear, including the 10.25-inch touchscreen display, smartphone connectivity, premium audio from Harman Kardon, with ten speakers, and Driver Talk, to name but some. Choosing the range-topper will also get you additional stuff, such as the heated and ventilated front seats, heated outboard second-row seats, panoramic glass roof, head-up display, ambient lighting, and 19-inch aero wheels, among others.
Available with seating for six or seven, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid also features lots of safety systems, including the rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, lane keep assist, lane following assist, driver attention warning with leading vehicle departure alert, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, forward collision-avoidance assist with junction turning, and smart cruise control with stop & go.
Power is supplied by the turbocharged 1.6-liter T-GDI Smartstream engine, which is backed up by a 44.2 kW (60 ps / 59 hp) electric motor, and a 1.49 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery. It has a combined output of 169 kW (230 ps / 227 hp) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque, directed to the all-wheel drive system via a newly-developed six-speed automatic transmission. The electrified 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe returns 6 l/100 km (39.2 mpg US) combined, and it has a braked towing capacity of 1,650 kg (3,638 lbs), and 750 kg (1,653 lbs) unbraked.
