1. 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.5T Front-Wheel Drive
- Base Price: $33,950
- MPG Combined: 24
- Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 8-speed automated manual
- Horsepower: 277
- Torque: 311 lb-ft
- Weight: 4,343 lbs
- Length: 190.2 in
- Towing Capacity: 3,500 lbs
The base Santa Fe is an intriguing "tweener" that offers a small third-row seat and solid turbocharged power at a relatively low price.
2. 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.5T All-Wheel Drive
- Base Price: $35,750
- MPG Combined: 23
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 8-speed automated manual
- Horsepower: 277
- Torque: 311 lb-ft
- 0-60: 6.3 sec
- Weight: 4,486 lbs
- Length: 190.2 in
- Towing Capacity: 3,500 lbs
All-wheel drive adds $1,800 to the Santa Fe's bottom line and about 150 pounds at the scales, but as the acceleration numbers attest, the 2.5T engine can handle the extra weight.
3. 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid (1.6T Front-Wheel Drive)
- Base Price: $36,950
- MPG Combined: 36
- Drive Type: Front-wheel drive
- Engine: 1.6-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 6-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 231
- Torque: 271 lb-ft
- Weight: 4,431 lbs
- Length: 190.2 in
- Towing Capacity: 2,000 lbs
Unlike the smaller Tucson Hybrid, which makes more power than its conventional siblings, the Santa Fe Hybrid makes significantly less power than the regular Santa Fe. It also weighs more, so this is a net negative in terms of acceleration despite the $3k premium to get into a hybrid. Impressive fuel economy, though.
4. 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid (1.6T All-Wheel Drive)
- Base Price: $38,750
- MPG Combined: 34
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 1.6-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 6-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 231
- Torque: 271 lb-ft
- Weight: 4,575 lbs
- Length: 190.2 in
- Towing Capacity: 2,000 lbs
It's another $1,800 to add AWD to the Santa Fe Hybrid and you lose 2 mpg, but fuel economy should still be lofty enough for most hybrid-shoppers' tastes.
