Last month, the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe entered the world, and doesn’t seem revolutionary on the outside, all that’s underneath is a big step ahead of the existing SUV. And now we have the main endpoints on The new Santa Fe powertrains.
Courtesy of Hyundai’s European arm, the brand detailed the two new hybrid powertrains that will debut in the Santa Fe. The first is a traditional hybrid powertrain Hyundai named the Smartstream engine. The second is a plug-in hybrid system that will come later, which also uses the Smartstream engine as a starting point.
Both are supplied with a 1.6-liter turbo four-engine, while the hybrid runs on a 59-horsepower electric motor and a 1.49 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. The force moves to the front or four wheels, and in total, develops 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque.
As for the plug-in hybrid powertrain, the power of the electric motor increases to 90 hp and receives a larger battery of 13.8 kWh. Hyundai did not communicate about diversity, however, the still-small battery probably wouldn’t affect, say, the estimated electrical diversity of the 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime. This power train houses more strength in total, with 261 hp in the faucet. The pair remains the same as for the popular hybrid, diverse enough.
Each Santa Fe will bring a new six-speed automatic transmission, which Hyundai says will double the fuel power compared to the outgoing unit. The two hybrid power trains will also space out valve life technology with variable frequency. We’ve noticed that Kia announces this with the K5 2021 sedan that replaces Optima, and if you don’t see how it works, it essentially gives the engine’s internal valves the freedom to stay open or closed for other durations. Hyundai and Kia promise greater functionality and fuel economy.
The popular hybrid powertrain is a little murky, but Roadshow understands that the plug-in hybrid formula for Europe will be almost the same as that presented in the United States, with the exception of popular approval needs and other small details. What the U.S. might not get is a new diesel engine that combines with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. It will be fair to Europe and other parts of the world.
The new Santa Fe is expected to go on sale in Europe in September, so we have more major points and a sale date for the U.S. Very soon.
