The overview
The midsized Santa Fe underwent an extensive freshening for 2021 with new engines, interior changes and the availability of a hybrid version. The Santa Fe fits above the Tucson and below the larger, three-row Palisade. The standard 191-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder is a bit weak and noisy. The optional 2.5-liter turbo is much more powerful but is mated to a dual-clutch automatic that has some low-speed vibrations. A hybrid version comes with a 1.6-liter turbo engine and got 30 mpg overall in our tests. We think it's the best version to get. It also rides more comfortably than the non-hybrid Santa Fe. The cabin is roomy with a generous rear seat and cargo space. The interior is stylish but the center console is a sea of buttons, and the push-button gear selector is tricky to use without looking. FCW and AEB with pedestrian detection are standard. BSW and RCTW are standard on all trims starting with the 2022 models. A 261-hp plug-in hybrid with 30 miles of electric range and a new, rugged exterior styling XRT trim are new for 2022.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
