Hyundai is set to introduce a hybrid version of its Santa Fe model, blending electric and gasoline power in a system known as an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain. This approach will allow the vehicle to operate primarily on electric power while retaining a gas engine for extended range, catering to consumers seeking efficiency without fully committing to battery-only models. The move reflects Hyundai’s strategy to compete more directly with established hybrid offerings, particularly in the growing US market where demand for such vehicles remains strong. The new powertrain technology is expected to roll out across Hyundai and its luxury brand Genesis starting in 2027.
