Last month, Hyundai Motor Company revealed the new and redesigned Santa Fe, which we actually liked. Now, the Korean carmaker has revealed Santa Fe’s new engine platform and other details about what exactly it can offer to the global market.
This is the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe
“The new Santa Fe represents a significant milestone in the history of Hyundai. With a new platform, new transmissions and new technology, it is cleaner, more agile, and more efficient than ever before,” says Thomas Schemera, Executive Vice President and Head of Product Division at Hyundai Motor Company.
The new 1.6-litre T-GDi ‘Smartstream’ engine
“With the introduction of our new Santa Fe, our whole SUV line-up will be available with electrified versions, ranging from 48V mild-hybrid solutions to fuel cell,” he added.
The new Hyundai Santa Fe comes with two hybrid drivetrain options. The first option is the hybrid version that uses a new 1.6-liter T-GDi turbocharged gasoline ‘Smartstream’ engine and a 44.2 kW electric motor, drawing power from a 1.49 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery. The system generates 227 hp and 350 Nm of torque and comes with either a two-wheel or four-wheel drive.
