Hyundai Sant Fe Hybrid
Last Updated:
Sure, this is just the “concept” version for the Paris Auto Show.
But this will come out very soon
as a production model. Using a 2.4 Liter gas engine on top of the electric motor. Matted to a 6 speed auto.
Apparently getting 38mpg average.
This is really good news.
Let’s hope the dual sunroof set up also makes it to production…
Mileage is actually rather around 30mpg:
– cnverted from 44 imperial mpg is 37mpg
– 2nd European EEC mpg’s are on average 20% higher than US EPA standards which would end up at about 30mpg.
Still about 50% better that non-Hybrid which is pretty good.
Compared to Highlander almost 20% better plus probably much more reasonable premium Hybrid price.
WHOA… a hybrid! This is hardly a concept. More like a lemming. It’s not new technology, it’s an old, ugly SUV. This is the lamest “Concept” I’ve ever seen. There’s no reason that Hyundai shouldn’t be showing a working, pre-production vehicle.
WHOA… it is a pre-production vehicle, just labeled a “Concept” to get it some more attention when they take off the silly decals and show us the same vehicle in 5 months, calling it a pre-production prototype. They are taking a page from GM when it comes to their marketing approach.
“Hype” is the name of the game these days!!
Very late to the game by an awfully huge margin. And with an old truck complete space-aged stickers applied to the doors.
Embarrassed for Hyundai.
