Hyundai Santa Fe – Complete Details
Here is everything you need to know about Hyundai Santa Fe ahead of its launch.
Variant Details
According to what we know, Hyundai is going to sell the Santa FE in Pakistan in two versions: one with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and one with Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). Usually, the AWD version has more features. We still await to find out what they will name these versions, but they might be called EX and LS.
Key Specifications
The 4th generation of Santa Fe, known by its chassis code “TM,” was first introduced in 2018. It went through a big update in 2020, not just on the outside and inside but also in its core structure. Usually, an update like this focuses on looks and small improvements, but for Santa Fe, they replaced the entire platform with N3. This brought about a brand-new, much better driving experience, along with more room inside and enhanced safety.
Talking about how much fuel it can hold, the tank has a capacity of 67 liters, which is the same as the PKDM model. With all three rows of seats up, Santa Fe can carry 130 liters of cargo. When you fold down the third row, this space increases to 571 liters, following the VDA standard. And if you fold down both the second and third rows, you get a massive 1649 liters of cargo space.

Vehicle Performance
The 4th generation Santa Fe facelift comes in different versions, but in Pakistan, we’ll have the GF4 Gamma/1.6L Turbo GDI hybrid engine. This version uses both a regular engine and an electric motor. The electric motor, which has 59 horsepower, is built into the transmission. The regular engine is a 1.6-liter Turbo engine that can change how it uses its valves for better performance. Together, they give a total of 226 horsepower and 350 Newton meters of twisting power.
Under the driver’s seat, there’s a special kind of battery that saves energy. It works with 270 volts and has a capacity of 1.49 kilowatt-hours. This car has a new technology called CVVD. It’s the first of its kind in the world. It keeps an eye on how the engine works and can change how the valves work to make the engine run better and use less fuel.
The electric motor helps the car move when you start driving or when you’re going slowly. But if the battery is low on power, it might not work. When you need a lot of power, like when you’re going fast or uphill, both the engine and the motor work together. When you’re going at a steady speed, either the engine or the motor can power the car.
