Does the perfect car exist? No. There is no car that can categorically be considered absolutely ‘perfect.’ What does exist, however, are cars that are perfect for certain sets of users.
Depending on your requirements, the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid might be such a vehicle. To make the long story short, this hybrid SUV boils down to form, function, and fuel efficiency.
Watch: Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
Obviously, the vehicle is a looker. It boasts an exterior design that’s equal parts rugged and stylish thanks to bold character lines and squarish proportions that give it an eye-catching road presence.
Inside, the Santa Fe Hybrid flaunts a refined overall vibe and practical features like wireless charging pads, a digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch panoramic curved display, and class-leading interior space. It also comes with captain seats in the second row—something you don’t get with the non-hybrid Santa Fe models. If you’re a germaphobe, it even comes with a handy UV-C sterilization tray for your devices. Safety nuts will also be happy to know this thing comes equipped with Hyundai SmartSense advanced driver assist and safety features.
The wide tailgate opening is another neat feature worth noting, especially if you use the rear cargo area extensively. This allows owners to load larger cargo items into the vehicle's rear with relative ease and, perhaps just as importantly, without causing dings, dents, or scuffs around the tailgate opening.
Of course, we can’t talk about SUVs without bringing up power and torque. The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid runs on a 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine that combines with an electric motor to produce 232hp and 367Nm of torque. Those figures should be enough to get you wherever you’re going.
If you think you’re ready to finally jump into hybrid ownership and need a ride that’s convenient for the whole family, maybe the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is worth checking out. Will you be adding this to your shortlist?
