Where the Santa Fe Hybrid Stands Out
Key advantages that separate the Santa Fe Hybrid from the Highlander Hybrid and Passport.

⚡
Santa Fe AdvantageTurbocharged Hybrid EngineThe only turbocharged engine in this group. 271 lb-ft of torque delivers confident acceleration the Highlander’s naturally-aspirated hybrid simply can’t match at low speeds.
🌿
Santa Fe AdvantageHybrid When the Passport Has NoneThe Passport is gas-only — no hybrid option exists at any trim. At roughly 21 combined MPG vs. the Santa Fe Hybrid’s 36–37 MPG, you’ll save hundreds at the pump every single month.
📱
Santa Fe AdvantageDual Wireless Phone ChargingTwo wireless pads built in on equipped trims — one for the driver, one for the passenger. Neither competitor offers this feature at any trim level.
🚗
Santa Fe AdvantageHighway Driving Assist 2Available on Calligraphy trim with semi-autonomous lane-changing on the highway. Both the Highlander and Passport top out at basic adaptive cruise control.
🔔
Santa Fe AdvantageRear Occupant Alert & Safe Exit WarningBoth safety features are standard on every Santa Fe Hybrid trim. Neither the Highlander Hybrid nor the Passport includes them. Important for families with young children.
🛡️
Santa Fe AdvantageBest Warranty in the Segment10-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage vs. 5 years from Toyota and Honda. The Santa Fe Hybrid gives you the longest peace of mind — at the lowest starting price.
