2027 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV nearby Conway, SC
The 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV combines a turbocharged gasoline engine, an electric motor, a lithium-ion battery, and a six-speed automatic transmission in a three-row utility vehicle. Its hybrid system produces 231 combined horsepower and works with either front-wheel drive or available HTRAC all-wheel drive. A unibody structure, four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and motor-driven power steering define its chassis. Inside, the 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV provides seating for six or seven occupants, depending on configuration, along with flexible cargo space and an extensive range of comfort and connectivity features. Its safety equipment includes multiple airbags, stability controls, occupant-protection systems, and driver-assistance technologies.
Hybrid powertrain and driving systems
The 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV uses a Smartstream® 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engine with dual overhead camshafts, 16 valves, and four inline cylinders. The engine displaces 1,598 cubic centimeters and uses aluminum for both the block and cylinder head. Hyundai rates the gasoline engine at 178 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 195 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 through 4,500 rpm. Its 75.6-millimeter bore and 89.0-millimeter stroke operate with a 10.5:1 compression ratio. The engine accepts regular unleaded fuel, incorporates turbocharging, and carries an SULEV30 emissions-system designation.
Electric motor and battery
A permanent-magnet synchronous motor works with the turbocharged engine to produce a total combined system output of 231 horsepower. Hyundai estimates the electric motor output at 44.2 kilowatts, or approximately 60 horsepower, from 1,600 through 2,100 rpm. The motor produces 195 pound-feet of torque, while the complete hybrid system develops 271 pound-feet from 1,000 through 4,100 rpm. A lithium-ion battery supplies electrical energy through a system rated at a maximum of 270 volts. The battery has a capacity of 1.49 kilowatt-hours, and the hybrid starter-generator carries a 13-kilowatt rating.
Automatic transmission and drivetrain
Hyundai pairs the hybrid system with an A6MF2H-2 six-speed automatic transmission. SHIFTRONIC® manual-shift paddle shifters give the driver direct access to gear selection, while shift-by-wire technology controls transmission operation electronically. The transmission uses ratios of 4.639 in first gear, 2.826 in second, 1.841 in third, 1.386 in fourth, 1.000 in fifth, and 0.772 in sixth. Reverse uses a 3.385 ratio, and the final drive ratio measures 3.510. A center-console-mounted Drive Mode Select system provides access to the supported vehicle settings.
The 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV comes with front-wheel drive or available HTRAC all-wheel drive. HTRAC operates as an active on-demand system that adjusts torque distribution according to the selected drive setting and operating conditions. An available AWD lock function can maintain a 50:50 torque split. The drivetrain works with the vehicle’s electronic stability and traction systems to manage power delivery and directional control. This configuration allows buyers to select the drivetrain that matches their traction requirements without changing the primary hybrid powertrain.
Fuel economy and emissions
The front-wheel-drive 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV carries EPA fuel-economy ratings of 37 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 36 mpg combined. HTRAC all-wheel-drive versions carry ratings of 35 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 35 mpg combined. Both drivetrain configurations use a 17.7-gallon fuel tank and operate on regular unleaded fuel. The hybrid powertrain has a smog score of 6. Its global-warming score is 7 with front-wheel drive and 6 with all-wheel drive.

Chassis control and exterior engineering
The 2027 Hyundai Santa Fe HEV uses unibody construction with high-strength steel as its primary body material. A MacPherson®-strut front suspension incorporates coil springs, a stabilizer bar, and gas-pressurized shock absorbers with advanced valving. The rear uses a multi-link independent design with separated springs and shock absorbers. A rear stabilizer bar and gas-pressurized shock absorbers with advanced valving complete the suspension arrangement. This four-wheel independent design supports the vehicle’s steering, braking, and body-control systems.
Braking and steering hardware
Ventilated 12.8-inch disc brakes manage stopping force at the front, while solid 12.8-inch discs serve the rear axle. The anti-lock braking system uses four wheels, four channels, and four sensors while incorporating Electronic Brake-force Distribution. Brake Assist, Downhill Brake Control, Hillstart Assist Control, and Trailer Sway Control supplement the primary braking hardware. The hybrid also uses an integrated electric brake booster and an electric parking brake with Auto Vehicle Hold. Electronic stability control, traction control, and vehicle stability management provide additional control functions.
Column-mounted motor-driven power steering operates through a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The steering system has an overall ratio of 13.7 and requires 2.6 turns from lock to lock. The vehicle’s curb-to-curb turning diameter measures 37.9 feet. These dimensions define the amount of steering input and space required to complete a full turn. The steering system operates alongside the independent suspension and electronic stability controls during low-speed maneuvering and normal driving.
