The other engine options include a Smartstream 2.5-liter direct-injected (DI) and multi-point injected (MPI) four-cylinder engine, both of which will be mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. This is a leap forward, by replacing the former 2.4-litre engine. This standard four-cylinder engine produces an estimated 191bhp at 6,100 rpm and an estimated 182 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm for effortless driving in a wide variety of conditions. The powertrain also features Idle, Stop and Go (ISG) capability to maximize efficiency in various heavy traffic conditions. The new 2.5-litre engine fuel economy is targeted to increase approximately eight per cent over the 2020 powertrain from these improvements.

Santa Fe will also be offered with a high-output Smartstream 2.5-litre direct-injected four-cylinder turbocharged engine coupled with an all-new eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT), replacing the former 2.0-litre turbocharged engine and improving peak horsepower by 18 per cent. This all-new powerplant produces an estimated 277bhp at 6,000 rpm for brisk acceleration and effortless highway cruising.

Hyundai will also offer the 2021 Santa Fe with a new hybrid propulsion system for eco-focused buyers. This is a first for any Hyundai SUV. The hybrid powertrain features a Smartstream 1.6-liter, direct-injected, turbocharged four-cylinder engine coupled with a new HEV-tuned six-speed automatic transmission. This new six-speed transmission is specially tuned for optimal efficiency, economy and driving performance in a turbocharged HEV application. The turbo engine yields an estimated output of 178 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, with an estimated 225 horsepower from the combined engine and motor system. Speaking about the India launch, Hyundai Motors has not confirmed anything at present. However, we do expect the Santa Fe to arrive here as a flagship, as Hyundai has sold the previous generations of this SUV in the Indian market.
