How many variants of the Hyundai SANTA FE TurboHybrid are offered in Singapore?

Komoco Motors Pte Ltd, Hyundai's official distributor since 1986, has launched the fifth-generation SANTA FE in Singapore. This model is the only Turbo Pure-Hybrid 7-seater SUV in Singapore. It comes in two trims: Santa Fe TurboHybrid and Santa Fe TurboHybrid Calligraphy.

“Since the first-generation SANTA FE’s debut 23 years ago, this iconic SUV has won the hearts of millions of customers around the world,” said Jaehoon Chang, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company. “The All-New Santa Fe’s bold and powerful identity, which encompasses the boundless outdoors and urban landscape, will establish an unrivalled presence in the mid-sized SUV market.”

“The 2024 SANTA FE SUV represents Hyundai’s foray into refined styling and upscaled tastes,” said Mr Teo Hock Seng, Executive Chairman of Komoco Motors Pte Ltd. “This model proves that Hyundai is able to meld impressive design with practicality, while retaining the heart of creating reliable and safe cars that are environmentally friendly.”

Is this SANTA FE a full-model change?

Yes - the fifth-generation SANTA FE is the first full-model change since 2018. Its striking design includes a high hood, H-shaped headlamps, defined fenders, longer wheelbase, clean side sculpting, bold roofline and 20-inch wheels. The rear design includes a wider, taller tailgate for added stability and a minimalist look along with H-shaped taillights.

What are the seat configurations for the new Hyundai SANTE FE?

Its 7-seater configuration in a 2-3-2 layout allows for a fully flat cargo area when the second and third-row seats are folded, offering a maximum cargo capacity of 1,949 litres, or 628 litres with the third-row seats folded.

Apart from space, is the new Hyundai SANTA FE user friendly?

For sure - there’s a large three-compartment storage area at the front passenger seat and a UV-C sterilization tray beneath the dashboard. The centre console offers dual wireless charging for smartphones, enhancing convenience and utility.

Is the new Hyundai SANTA FE comfortable?

The SANTA FE offers a “Relaxation Driver Seat with a Leg Rest”. It includes a 6.6-inch full-touch climate control display that enhances ease of use for adjusting heating and cooling in the front row. Additionally, the second-row seats feature power "fold-and-dive" functionality with cushion-angle adjustment - a world first.

Is the new Hyundai SANTA FE powerful?

The SANTA FE TurboHybrid specced for the Singapore market is powered by a 4 cylinder 1.6-litre Turbocharged Hybrid engine, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It produces a combined output of 215hp and 367Nm of torque, with a fuel efficiency of 6.9L/100km (14.5km/l). 0-100km/h is dealt with in 9.8 seconds.
