The Hyundai Santa Fe blue Hybrid will be an eco-friendly highlight of this year's Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, demonstrating Hyundai's technical capabilities and its commitment to reducing CO2 emissions.
The vehicle maintains the overall design and dynamics of the standard Santa Fe, but is altogether a different car under the hood. Hyundai engineers developed a proprietary parallel hybrid drive system which mates the powerful but thrifty 2.4-litre Theta engine to a six-speed automatic transmission and a 30Kw electric motor for maximum fuel economy and substantially reduced CO2 emissions.
