Powertrain Analysis
The hybrid system pairs a turbocharged 1.6-liter inline-four with one electric motor for a combined output of 231 hp and 271 lb-ft. The gasoline engine uses a DOHC 16-valve layout and intercooled turbocharging. The electric motor contributes 60 hp and 195 lb-ft, and the battery pack is a 1.0-kWh lithium-ion unit.
Power is routed through a 6-speed automatic transmission. The available drivetrains are front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The source lists no gear ratios or final-drive ratio.
The front-motor hybrid layout places the electric assist at the axle with the combustion engine in the front compartment. The tested AWD Calligraphy specification recorded a 7.8-second 0-60 mph run, while the top speed is 119 mph. The hybrid setup is rated below the nonhybrid Santa Fe in straight-line acceleration.
Chassis & Dynamics
The chassis uses front struts and a rear multilink suspension. Brake hardware consists of 13.6-inch vented front discs and 12.8-inch rear discs. Tire specification is 255/45R-20 105V M+S on Pirelli Scorpion MS tires in the tested configuration.
The measured curb weight is 4516 lb for the 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy AWD test vehicle. The source does not provide front-to-rear weight distribution, platform name, rigidity figures, or aerodynamic coefficients.
Dynamic test data include 179 feet for 70-0 mph braking and 0.82 g on the 300-foot skidpad. Fuel consumption in C/D testing measured 26 mpg observed.
Dimensions & Practicality
Overall dimensions are 190.2 inches in length, 74.8 inches in width, 69.7 inches in height, with a 110.8-inch wheelbase. Seating capacity is six passengers in the tested vehicle specification.
Cargo volume measures 15 cubic feet behind the third row, 41 cubic feet behind the second row, and 80 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. Carry-on testing accommodated five cases behind the third row, 16 with the third row stowed, and 34 with the second and third rows folded.
Towing capacity is 2000 pounds. Interior space data listed in the source include 61 cubic feet for the front row, 55 cubic feet for the middle row, and 33 cubic feet for the rear row.
