More and more automakers are moving toward eco-conscious, sustainable vehicles to help reduce the carbon footprint from tailgate emissions. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly SUV, consider the rugged and stylish 2024 Hyundai Sante Fe Hybrid. This modern SUV has remarkable fuel efficiency without compromising power or performance. At Hanford Hyundai in Hanford, California, we’re committed to carrying an inventory of eco-friendly vehicles to help contribute to a greener planet, including the 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid SUV.
Leading the Way in Hybrid Efficiency
Automakers make three types of electrified vehicles: all-electric, plug-in hybrid, and hybrid. All-electric vehicles run solely on electric motors and battery packs that need to be plugged in to recharge. These types of eco-conscious vehicles have a limited driving range before they need recharging, and you need to find a charging station when you’re on long drives.
A plug-in hybrid uses one or two electric motors and a battery pack combined with a gasoline engine. Once the all-electric driving range is completed, the gas engine takes over, providing power for the vehicle. A plug-in hybrid needs a charging outlet to recharge.
A hybrid vehicle also combines a gas engine with one or two electric motors and a battery pack. However, one of the main hybrid vehicle benefits is that it doesn’t need to be plugged in to recharge the battery. Instead, it uses an innovative regenerative braking system. Not having to plug the hybrid in gives you greater freedom for driving, as you don’t need to install a charging station at home or find one on the road.
The 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid is a revolutionary hybrid SUV leading the way in hybrid efficiency as it’s designed for adventure seekers who want to reduce their carbon footprint. Many rugged SUVs have low fuel-efficiency ratings, making them less appealing to eco-conscious motorists, while the Santa Fe Hybrid has the features of an SUV with a fuel-efficient powertrain.
Innovative Hybrid Powertrain
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe comes in three trims: the SEL, Limited, and top-tier Calligraphy. Under the hood of each trim, you’ll find a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder gas engine combined with a 44.2 kWh electric motor and a 270-volt lithium-ion battery. The four-cylinder engine and electric motor combine for 231 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive comes standard, or you can choose the optional HTRAC all-wheel-drive system for added traction.
The 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid: A Smart Choice for Eco-Conscious Drivers
Modern drivers look for features in a vehicle that provide comfort and convenience without compromising value or sustainability. Why is the 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid a smart choice for eco-conscious drivers?
Outstanding Fuel-Efficiency
Gasoline-only vehicles emit greenhouse gas emissions that may contribute to climate change. The lower the fuel efficiency, the more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. The front-wheel drive 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid gets 36 mpg driving in the city and freeway with a combined rating of 35 mpg, and the all-wheel drive Santa Fe Hybrid gets 34 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway for a combined 34 mpg.
When you compare a non-hybrid three-row SUV like the Ford Expedition, you only get 16 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway for a combined 18 mpg. For those looking to save money at the gas pump and reduce their carbon footprint while enjoying the features and amenities of a rugged SUV, the 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid is a smart choice.
Recharge With the Regenerative Braking System
Instead of using electricity to recharge the battery in your 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid, this SUV uses a regenerative braking system. Regenerative braking captures energy generated during the braking process by recovering some of the kinetic energy and converting it to electricity. Capturing this otherwise lost kinetic energy happens when the driver presses the brake pedal or when the driver takes their foot off the accelerator pedal and allows the vehicle to coast.
The longer the brake pedal is applied or the longer the vehicle coasts, the more regenerative power gets captured, ultimately recharging the hybrid battery without wasting electricity.
Tax Incentives and Rebates
With the federal Clean Vehicle Tax Credit policy in 2024, select plug-in hybrids and all-electric vehicles are eligible for a tax credit. As the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid is not a plug-in or all-electric SUV, it does not qualify for the tax credit. However, Hyundai offers a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty for the 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid’s lithium-ion battery.
In addition, qualifying customers can get special financing offers as low as 5.49% and special lease offers of $410 a month. Additional Hyundai offers include a $400 savings with the College Grad program and a $400 savings with the Military program.
