Among the 9 D-SUV plug-in hybrid, the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (last in segment), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

D-SUV plug-in hybrid among the best in segment: 3rd of 9 in Thermal cons. estimated (7.6 L/100).

Less suitable for

Regular long motorway trips. Beyond the 54 km EV range, the car runs on pure combustion. On trips >300 km weekly, a BEV or HEV would be more relevant.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (1st with 100 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (1st with 918 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 54 km pure electric (last in segment)

With a full battery, the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV drives in pure electric mode for the first 54 km WLTP - placing it 9th of 9 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (100 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

Hyundai Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV rank in its segment?

Among the 9 D-SUV plug-in hybrid 2022–2026, the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV ranks 9th of 9 in Electric WLTP range (54 km, behind the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204), 4th of 9 in Combined range (765 km, behind the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204), 3rd of 9 in Thermal cons. estimated (7.6 L/100, behind the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204), 9th of 9 in 0–100 km/h (9.3 s, behind the Volvo XC60 T8 AWD Recharge).

What is the électrique range of the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV?

54 km WLTP announced - making it the 9th of 9 in Electric WLTP range out of 9 models. The reference is the Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 (100 km).

How much does the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 instead?

The Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 leads in Electric WLTP range (100 km vs 54 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDi PHEV vs Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid 204 duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
