Used 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV Trims Comparison

A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (191 horsepower, 182 lb-ft) mated to an eight-speed automatic is standard on SE and SEL trims. The Limited and Calligraphy come with a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder (277 hp, 311 lb-ft) mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

A hybrid powertrain is new for 2021 as well. Available later in the model year in SEL and Limited trims, it combines a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an electric motor (225 hp combined) paired to a six-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is standard with the hybrid powertrain option.
