- The Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-in isn't as robust as some other PHEV offerings, and you're going to have a harder time treating it like a full EV than something like the RAV4 Prime. If you ask us, just get the normal hybrid.

2022 SF PHEV owner here. I get 30-35 mpg straight hybrid, same as this test. The best mpg per tank I have ever gotten was 261mpg per tank. Probably average 60-70 total mpg per tank. Love it! Nice ride!
The big highway factor missing from this is - range! The hybrid has a 17.7 gallon fuel tank. The PHEV only has a 12.4 gallon tank. So, lets say you drive down to 1 gallon left at 32 MPG for each. The hybrid range would be 16.7 x 32 = 534 miles of range and the PHEV 11.4 x 32 = 365 miles of range. Still pretty good, but not near as much fudge factor when driving through barren territory like Kansas or Nebraska. Do the test in the summer with the AC on and I'd bet that number is quite a bit lower yet, decreasing range even further.
Depends how often you charge your car in a phev
The hwy hybrid test is in line with what I get with my 22 F PHEV. The best mpg using a lot of ev range was 261mpg. on average I get in the neighborhood of 70mpg. I slow charge in a garage on off peak hours. I got a $5k tax credit. I love this thing. Even at 32mpg, for a car that big, that is great milage.
Yes, I agree. Both hybrids and plug-in hybrids aren't really great at highway speeds. However, as you asked, this would be ideal for me. 2 miles to school, 2 miles to the gym, 2 miles to the grocery store all at speeds under 55.
Good video... I have had my 2023 SF hybrid for two months now and do a mix of local and highway driving, and currently averaging 29 to 30mpg, I expect this to go up a bit more after the break in period and warmer weather. But I am happy with the vehicle so far and coming from an Outback the SF is much better on fuel. The plug in would be useful if you're doing mostly local around town driving and then regularly recharging once the battery is depleted.
Charlie, I cannot remember when a mpg test was so chock full of ambiguity and ambivalence with enough provisos for a medication advertisement.😉
I'd get the PHEV over the HEV, 75% of my driving is done sub-50mph, and most week days I rarely go over 25 miles anywhere, so I would get the benefits of the PHEV. Plus, getting the same mpg as the HEV after the battery has run out is good considering the extra weight of the bigger battery. We looked at getting a Sata Fe PHEV to replace our 2016 Escape, but I refused to pay $10k over sticker.
Okay, but at an average of $4/gallon, even if your electricity were totally free, it would take you 1250 days of driving 25 miles entirely on EV to make up the $5000 cost difference between the PHEV and the normal hybrid. Doesn't that make it harder to justify?
@@DailyMotor on paper, yes it does. Especially since, if I'm not mistaken, they won't qualify for the tax credits. That being said, I'd prefer having the smoother, quieter EV driving miles and not using any gas 5/7 days of the week. If I purchased the car and financed it for 60 months (and kept it that long), then the $5k price would pay itself off (again with the figures you provided). Gas is getting closer to $3 here in SE MA, NE RI, and we have pretty high electricity costs so it would take even longer to pay back that extra $. If the vehicle qualified for the tax credits, the PHEV would be a no-brainer over the HEV.
Fair enough, at the end of the day, more choices are better than fewer. I'm a big fan of PHEVs, but I prefer them to act like a dedicated EV, ie Chevy Volt, Honda Insight, Toyota RAV4. But I can see the uses even for one like this. And I really like the Santa Fe in general.
@@DailyMotor In general, I'm not a huge fan of Hyundai's hybrid systems, I feel that the planetary gearset-style system is a better all around option for both efficiency and reliability. If I'm buying a car for mpg, I could care less if it has a 6-speed auto or PG system. Either way, the Santa Fe is one of the best vehicles you can buy on the market today, in my opinion.
What most people consider are the USED prices, the difference tends to get much smaller @@DailyMotor
my parents have got the phev since it was released in 2021 and theyve done around 20000 miles in it. Their average consumption is 5l/100km or 47mpg/gallon. id say thats great for a all wheel drive, 7 seater, 2 tonne vehicle. If you drive short distances the phev can save you a lot of gas
My dad likes using the electric motor sent it allows him to save gas and have less trips to the gas station he is also able to charge it at work
And Sergeant, where ever there is an opportunity to keep on our trip
I have a 2022 santa fe gas only not a hybrid... i drive 60 miles one way to work.. i drive a little slower... its back roads / highway and a little city.. sometimes ill get up to 72 mph.. but usually im Driving around 60 mph.. i get 34 mpg!!! Ive stretched it even further.... im shocked ur milage isnt alot better than that?? Any thoughts??
Do the gauges tell you the exact amount of discharge per trip? Because they you can calculate your kilowatt usage, presuming you know your charge rate, and therefore your electrical expense per trip.
Would love to have an EV but, my 2021 Crosstrek gets as much as 38MPG on a roadtrip!
Hey I have just purchased my 2023 SF hybrid luxury for a week now and with one full gas tank I drove for 934 kilometres! This is the best SUV for gas savings in the world man ! What are you complaining about man 🤷🏻♂️ I basically doing only 6.1 litres for 100 kilometres here.
10000 km probably 300 bucks in gas on my phev 2023 plug it everywhere. Don't forget sports mode charges the ev battery.
So, comparing your results in the Santa Fe PHEV to your results in the Tucson PHEV, you found that the Santa Fe PHEV could match the HEV with the battery depleted, but the Tucson PHEV was below the HEV version?
There are definitely some things that need to be explored here, such as temperature, that would perhaps explain these discrepancies. The PHEV should not be getting better mileage on the highway.
So if not so hypothetically one has a 18 mile in total daily work commute (each way 4 city miles and 5 hwy miles) 5 days a week, their hwy driving speed is 70-80mph and has a standard garage outlet, you're suggesting the regular hybrid might be a better fit? That is unless they are committed to curbing their lead foot behavior? Asking for a friend.
If they live in a warm climate and also get very cheap electricity, the PHEV might be the way to go. But other than that it'll take many years to make up the difference in cost. Plus then you have to remember to plug it in each night :P
@@DailyMotor That would be a no and a no to the warm climate and very cheap electricity, unfortunately. Thanks!
The PHEV has more power than the HEV thanks to the bigger electric motor.
