Among the 9 D-SUV plug-in hybrid, the Santa Fe 1.6 T-GDI PHEV (253 PS) 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 (253 PS) through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.
Caralogy Analysis · tailored to this vehicle
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 (253 PS) 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 (253 PS) behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
