Hyundai Santa Fe Leasing

Which Hyundai Santa Fe Should I Lease?

The most important decision is the powertrain.

Choose the Santa Fe Hybrid if:

• You want a self-charging hybrid without needing to plug the vehicle in.

• You regularly make longer journeys.

• You want a large family SUV with hybrid assistance.

• You prefer the simplicity of refuelling rather than managing regular charging.

Choose the Santa Fe PHEV if:

• You have convenient access to home or workplace charging.

• Many of your journeys are short enough to make useful use of electric driving.

• You want the additional performance of the 288PS PHEV powertrain.

• You want four-wheel drive as part of the current PHEV configuration.

The right choice therefore depends less on the headline lease rental and more on how you use the vehicle and whether you can regularly charge a PHEV.

Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Leasing

The Santa Fe Hybrid uses a 1.6-litre T-GDi petrol engine with electric assistance.

Current Car Leasing vehicles include 239PS Hybrid models, with both front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations represented in the live inventory.

The Hybrid does not need to be plugged in. Its battery is charged through the vehicle's hybrid system, including regenerative braking.

Hyundai lists the Santa Fe Hybrid with 6- or 7-seat availability and a 725-litre boot capacity. Hyundai also quotes up to 2,000kg braked towing capacity for the self-charging Hybrid.

The Hybrid is therefore a strong option if you want the Santa Fe's size and seating flexibility without making charging part of your normal routine.

Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-in Hybrid Leasing

The Santa Fe PHEV combines a 1.6-litre T-GDi petrol engine with an electric motor and rechargeable battery.

Current Car Leasing inventory includes 1.6 T-GDi 288 PHEV vehicles with automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.

The PHEV is most useful when it can be charged regularly.

For short local journeys, charging at home or at work can allow the electric powertrain to handle a significant part of everyday driving. For longer journeys, the petrol engine provides the flexibility expected from a conventional hybrid SUV.

Hyundai's current PHEV specification uses a 288PS powertrain and four-wheel drive.

Santa Fe Hybrid vs PHEV

Hyundai's current PHEV specification uses a 288PS powertrain and four-wheel drive. The difference between the two powertrains is straightforward:

Santa Fe Hybrid

• Powertrain: Self-charging hybrid

• Output in current Car Leasing range: 239PS

• External charging: No

• Automatic: Yes

• 4WD: Available on selected vehicles

• Best suited to: Mixed driving without charging

Santa Fe PHEV

• Powertrain: Plug-in hybrid

• Output in current Car Leasing range: 288PS

• External charging: Yes

• Automatic: Yes

• 4WD: Current PHEV listings are 4WD

• Best suited to: Drivers who can charge regularly

The Hybrid is the simpler choice if you don't want to depend on charging. The PHEV makes more sense if you can charge regularly and want to use electric driving for shorter journeys.

Hyundai Santa Fe 2WD vs 4WD

Four-wheel drive is available on selected Santa Fe Hybrid vehicles and is part of the current PHEV configuration.

The choice should be based on how you use the vehicle rather than treating 4WD as automatically better.

Choose 2WD if:

• Most of your driving is on normal roads.

• You do not regularly drive in difficult conditions.

• You want to keep the specification and lease configuration simpler.

Choose 4WD if:

• You regularly drive on poor or slippery surfaces.

• You tow or carry heavier loads.

• You want additional traction.

• You prefer the added capability of four-wheel drive.

The live Car Leasing inventory should be checked for the exact drivetrain available on each specification.

Hyundai Santa Fe 5, 6 and 7 Seats

The Santa Fe's seating configuration is one of its biggest practical advantages.

Hyundai offers the model with 6 or 7 seats, while the current leasing inventory includes individual 5-, 6- and other configuration labels depending on the vehicle listing.

The 6-seat configuration replaces the second-row bench with individual captain's chairs.

This gives the second row more separation and can make the cabin more comfortable for passengers.

The 7-seat layout provides a conventional three-row arrangement and is particularly useful when carrying more passengers.

The right configuration therefore depends on whether you prioritise second-row comfort or maximum passenger capacity.

Hyundai Santa Fe Practicality

The Santa Fe is designed around family and passenger practicality.

Hyundai quotes a 725-litre boot capacity for the self-charging Hybrid and describes the model as having a spacious, flexible interior.

The large cabin is useful for:

• Family luggage

• Shopping

• Pushchairs

• Sports equipment

• Holiday luggage

• Everyday family use

The available third row also gives the Santa Fe an advantage over many five-seat SUVs when additional passenger capacity is required.

Hyundai Santa Fe Towing

The Santa Fe Hybrid can tow up to 2,000kg braked according to Hyundai's current UK information.

That makes towing an important consideration when choosing between Santa Fe configurations.

If towing is a major requirement, check the exact vehicle's approved towing capacity and specification before ordering because capability can vary by powertrain and drivetrain.

Hyundai Santa Fe Interior and Technology

The Santa Fe has a large, technology-focused cabin designed around family usability.

Depending on specification, equipment can include:

• Dual 12.3-inch displays

• Navigation

• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

• Heated seats

• Heated steering wheel

• Parking assistance

• 360-degree camera

• Advanced driver-assistance systems

• USB-C connectivity

Higher specifications such as Ultimate and Calligraphy add further equipment.

The exact equipment depends on the vehicle and specification, so the individual live listing should be checked before assuming a feature is included.

Hyundai Santa Fe Safety and Driver Assistance

The Santa Fe is equipped with a range of driver-assistance and safety technologies.

Depending on specification, these can include:

• Forward collision avoidance

• Lane keeping assistance

• Blind-spot monitoring

• Adaptive cruise control

• Parking assistance

• Surround-view camera systems

Safety equipment can vary between specifications, so the exact vehicle listing should be used to confirm the equipment included with the lease.

Hyundai Santa Fe for Families

The Santa Fe is particularly suited to families who need more space than a conventional five-seat SUV.

The combination of:

• Up to three rows

• 6- or 7-seat layouts

• Large luggage capacity

• Hybrid and PHEV powertrains

• Available four-wheel drive

• Automatic transmission

makes the Santa Fe a flexible family vehicle.

The 6-seat version is particularly relevant if second-row passenger comfort is more important than having a conventional three-seat bench.

The 7-seat version is the better choice if carrying additional passengers is the priority.

Hyundai Santa Fe for Long Journeys

The Santa Fe is designed to handle both everyday family driving and longer journeys.

The Hybrid is particularly straightforward for long-distance use because it does not require external charging.

The PHEV adds the option of electric driving for shorter journeys while retaining a petrol engine for longer trips.

For frequent long-distance drivers without reliable access to charging, the Hybrid is likely to be the simpler choice.

Hyundai Santa Fe for Business Leasing

Business leasing is available on eligible Hyundai Santa Fe vehicles.

The applicable business rental depends on the individual vehicle, specification, contract length, initial rental and annual mileage.

Business users should also consider the applicable company-car tax treatment for the selected Hybrid or PHEV vehicle.

Tax treatment can change between tax years, so current HMRC information should be checked before making a business vehicle decision.

What's Included With a Hyundai Santa Fe Lease?

The exact inclusions depend on the individual vehicle and lease agreement.

Typical lease inclusions may include:

• Road tax

• Free nationwide delivery

• Manufacturer warranty, subject to its terms

• An agreed annual mileage

• An agreed contract period

Maintenance is not automatically included and may be available as an optional addition on eligible agreements.

Always check the individual lease agreement for the exact inclusions.

Hyundai Santa Fe Lease Terms and Mileage

The current Car Leasing selector provides:

• 18, 24, 36, 48 and 60-month contracts

• 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months' initial rental

• 5,000 to 30,000 annual mileage options

Not every combination is available for every Santa Fe.

Choose an annual mileage that reflects your expected use. Excess mileage charges may apply if you exceed the mileage agreed in your lease.

The live selector should be used to confirm the available combination for the specific Santa Fe you want.

How Does Hyundai Santa Fe Leasing Work?

Start by comparing the current Santa Fe vehicles in the live listings.

Then decide which combination suits you:

Hybrid or PHEV → 2WD or 4WD → 5, 6 or 7 seats → Premium, Ultimate or Calligraphy → contract and mileage.

The lease agreement will set out the initial rental, agreed monthly rental payments, contract period and agreed annual mileage.

Once the application and required checks are completed, the vehicle is supplied according to the agreed lease terms.

What Happens at the End of a Hyundai Santa Fe Lease?

At the end of the lease agreement, the Santa Fe is normally returned in accordance with the terms of the contract.

The vehicle should meet the applicable fair wear and tear standards.

Additional charges may apply for excess mileage or damage outside acceptable wear and tear, depending on the agreement.
