However, the biggest draw of the Santa Fe is its incredible fuel efficiency, which we’ll tell you more about!

Safety Features

With an SUV, you have the added security of having a higher vantage point, and the bigger size is typically advantageous as well, but that’s not where your safety features end in the Hyundai Santa Fe. Even the entry-level model comes standard with incredible features to ensure your peace of mind on the road, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Lane Keeping Assist.

In addition, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist are available features. These features ensure that your car works with your driving to try and avoid any potential collisions that can occur.

Ways to Achieve Better Fuel Economy

If you’re finding that you’re not achieving the kind of fuel ratings you want in the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe, below are some tips to increase your SUV’s efficiency:

Limit Your Cargo

Reducing the weight of your vehicle is one of the easiest things you can do to achieve better MPG ratings. This includes removing all extra items out of your Santa Fe’s trunk that you don’t need. This could save roughly one to two percent of your vehicle’s energy consumption.

Check the Gas Cap

You can increase your fuel ratings immensely by just making sure your gas cap is on tight. 

Choose the Right Motor Oil

Whether you do your oil changes yourself or you bring your Santa Fe in for service, ensure your vehicle is being filled with the correct motor oil. You can find your vehicle’s recommended motor oil in your owner’s manual.

Drive Smoothly

While it might be fun to go 0 to 60 MPH in under 10 seconds, it is not a good idea when you’re trying to increase your fuel economy. Also, avoid assertive braking and hard accelerations.

Drive Slower

While you don’t need to drive under the speed limit, it’s suggested that you drive right around the speed limit. Even a few extra MPH can make a difference to your fuel economy. 

                Change Your Oil and Oil Filter

In order to keep your Hyundai Santa Fe running at tip-top shape, you’ll want to make sure you’re keeping up with routine maintenance, like oil and oil filter changes roughly every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. You’ll be surprised how having fresh oil can make a difference in your fuel ratings.

Check Your Tires

Another simple thing you can do to achieve the best fuel ratings in your Santa Fe is checking your tires frequently. If you have low air pressure in your tires, this can affect the MPG you’re receiving.
