Hyundai reveals Santa Fe engine lineup for the USA

Read on to find out what powertrain options the new Hyundai Santa Fe for the United States will ship with.

The base spec will offer a 2.5-liter Smartstream gas engine rated at 194 hp (144 kW) and 247 Nm (180 lb-ft) of torque, which links to an eight-speed A/T. The old 2.0-liter turbo-four unit will yield its place to a new 2.5-liter engine rated at 281 hp (210 kW) and 422 Nm (311 lb-ft), hooked onto an eight-speed DCT.

The range will also include a mild hybrid spec revolving around a turbo-four engine worth 180 hp (134 kW) assisted by a starter-generator, an electric motor and a battery. A six-speed automatic transmission will send the momentum to all four wheels. Later on, the Hyundai Santa Fe will debut as a full-fledged plug-in hybrid.

Among other things, customers in the USA will be able to opt for Calligraphy, the top trim with its own radiator grille design, 20-inch alloys, Nappa leather-wrapped interior, and a HUD.
