Hyundai has revealed pricing and specification for its fifth-generation Sante Fe midsize SUV, which features a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

The large seven-seat SUV made its world premiere on Hyundai’s YouTube channel, recently (see below).

The car has been given a radical re-design with a bold new look. It has a longer wheelbase than before, providing more space for passengers in all three rows.

In addition to three trim levels – Premium, Ultimate and Calligraphy – there are also three powertrain options: hybrid, with both two and four-wheel drive options, and the four wheel drive plug-in hybrid, all featuring the 1.6-litre T-GDi Smartstream engine.

Both hybrid powertrains deliver 215 PS maximum power and 367 Nm maximum torque, with the plug-on Hybrid delivering 253 PS and 367 Nm maximum power and torque respectively. 

The Premium 1.6T hybrid 215PS six-speed automatic 2WD is priced from £46,775 and includes 20-inch alloy wheels, electrically operated and folding door mirrors, privacy glass, front and rear LED lighting, Smart Power tailgate (height/speed adjustable) and roof rails to accentuate its adventure-ready appeal.

Internally, features include a dual curved 12.3-inch display set-up, integrating the cluster and infotainment which incorporates touchscreen satellite navigation and media centre with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and Bluelink connected car service with three-year subscription, USB C ports for charging in all three rows of seats, wireless phone charging and electrically controlled and heated front seats with separate driver’s seat lumbar support.

The Premium trim is also available with a 1.6T hybrid 215PS six-speed automatic 4WD and 1.6T plug-in hybrid 253PS six-speed automatic 4WD powertrain.

Building on the Premium trim level, the Ultimate trim starts from £50,275 for the Ultimate 1.6T Hhybrid 215PS six-speed automatic 2WD and introduces the Bose premium sound system, dual glass sunroof with front glass electric tilt and slide3, electrically adjustable steering column and driver’s memory seat function, heated and ventilated front and heated rear seats, dual wireless phone charging, digital centre mirror, head up display, Highway Drive Asist 2, Remote Smart Park Assist, Blind Spot View Monitor (BVM) and Surround View Monitor (SVM).

The Ultimate trim is also available with a 1.6T hybrid 215PS six-speed automatic 4WD and 1.6T plug-in hybrid 253PS six-speed automatic 4WD powertrain.

New for the fifth-generation Santa Fe is the Calligraphy trim, with prices from £52,775 for the Calligraphy 1.6T hybrid 215PS six-speed automatic 2WD.

This top-level trim features 20-inch black alloy wheels, hidden C pillar assist handle, UV-C compartment, premium relaxation front seats and Nappa leather seat trim, as well as black finish styling elements including skid plate, fender upper garnish, door side garnish, C/D pillars, rear bumper moulding and DLO.

Additionally, the Calligraphy trim comes with an optional six-seat configuration, priced at £1,000.

The Calligraphy trim is also available with a 1.6T hybrid 215PS six-speed automatic 4WD and 1.6T plug-in Hybrid 253PS six-speed automatic 4WD powertrain.

All Santa Fe models are available in a choice of 10 colours. Terracotta orange solid is a no cost option, with metallic and basic pearl finishes a £700 option, pearl finishes a £900 option, and matte finishes a £1,200 option.

Ashley Andrew, president of Hyundai and Genesis UK, said: “We are pleased to announce the full details of all-new Santa Fe.

"The enhanced features and radical redesign accentuate the adventure-ready charm that has won the hearts of many since the midsize SUV was first introduced 23 years ago, whilst also delivering a premium customer experience.”

The interior features a panoramic curved display and dual wireless charging. The curved display connects the 12.3-inch digital cluster and infotainment system.

The SUV also incorporates a number of sustainable materials. The suede headliner, car mats and second- and third-row seatbacks are made from recycled plastic, while the crash pad and door trim covers are made from eco-friendly leatherette.
