After it was offered in the parallel import channels at prices of between 322 and 314 thousand shekels before bargaining, Kalmobil, the importer of Hyundai to Israel, is supposed to start marketing the hybrid version of the Santa Fe.

The expected price should start at about NIS 300,000 for the front-wheel drive entry version.



The current generation of the Santa Fe, which was launched in Israel exactly two years ago in December 2020, has so far been marketed with a 2.2-liter diesel engine with only 202 hp. Even at the time of the launch, Kalmobil said that when hybrid and plug-in hybrid drive systems are offered, their import will be considered.



Although the hybrid cars have lost the The tax benefit to which they were entitled at the beginning of 2022, the hybrid version of the crossover will land here soon. It maintains the same dimensions as the diesel version. There is also no change in the volume of the trunk - 130 liters in use with all the seats or 571 when the third row is folded.

It will be marketed in two trim levels, like the diesel version and with front or dual wheel drive (photo: manufacturer website, manufacturer)

The hybrid Santa Fe uses a combination of a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and an electric unit for a combined power of 230 hp and 35.7 kg.

The gearbox here is planetary, 6 gears compared to a double clutch with 8 gears in the diesel model.

Acceleration to 100 km/h takes 8.9 seconds in the front-wheel drive version and 9.1 in the dual-drive version. The maximum speed is 187 km/h.

The manufacturer declares 14.5 km per liter in the hybrid.



This version will also be marketed in two trim levels, the same as those in which the model is currently sold. Supreme will be the entry level and will include, among other things, climate control with air conditioning outlets for the rear seats, electric steering for the seats, a panoramic sunroof, entry and keyless drive, etc. The higher trim level adds memories, heating and cooling for the front seats, a digital dashboard, a 220V outlet, and more.



The two trim levels will offer all the safety systems: automatic braking even in reverse, adaptive cruise control, lane departure correction, vehicle detection in a "dead zone" with lane crossing prevention, a warning for forgetting a child in the back seat, and more.
