Hyundai Santa Fe Fuel Consumption (MPG & km/L)

Did you know that we are now in the fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe? It has traditionally been the Korean brand's main seven-seater family car in Europe, with plenty of room, essential amenities, and practicality. This one will undoubtedly attract your attention based just on styling - and it should, given the level of the opposition.

Officially, the front-wheel-drive Santa Fe has mid-40s fuel efficiency, while the four-wheel-drive model has low 40s. In our experience with the latter, that figure is feasible if you drive gently, which is not something you can say about most cars these days.

So the CO2 emissions are nowhere near as low as the Santa Fe Plug-in, but when compared to other competitors that do not require mains charging, the ordinary Santa Fe Hybrid does admirably. Indeed, its CO2 emissions are lower than many smaller cars and SUVs, and the hybrid system performs best in city and stop-and-go traffic. This is where a typical diesel SUV would be the least efficient.

According to Hyundai's claims, the Hybrid model can get up to 40.9mpg in 2WD and 38.6mpg in 4WD. While fuel economy figures should be taken with a grain of salt, we believe they are easily doable; a 300-mile road trip over a variety of routes yielded approximately 35mpg in the 2WD variant, and we weren't always kind.

Hyundai claims that the Plug-In can achieve fuel economy of 161.2mpg when correctly used. In practice, we'd expect it to be closer to 45 mpg.

Hyundai Santa Fe Fuel Efficiency Figures

The fuel consumption of the Hyundai Santa Fe is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Hyundai Santa Fe variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Hyundai Santa Fe in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

How To Calculate Real Fuel Consumption Of Your Hyundai Santa Fe

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Hyundai Santa Fe is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:

(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
