What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Hyundai Santa Fe

Hyundai Santa Fe Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV turbocharged 194hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD	Date is Sept 30 2013. It has a 2.2 litre diesel engine with manual gearbox. 6th gear is very useful on a long run as it acts as an overdrive. It has travelled 7509 miles at average of 38.42mpg imperial. It will easily exceed 41mpg on a long run. My Kia Sportage diesel travelled 15051 miles and averaged 37.85mpg imperial. Both vehicles were full of luggage for 29% of their mileage. Worst fuel consumption was 32.23mpg over 495 miles, all short runs so no complaints there. Best was 41.47mpg over 523 miles. Kia Sportage best was 48.59mpg and worst was 29.88mpg see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2010	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Can be better but equal to my previos 2007 tucson see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2008	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	We have only filled it up 3 times. Which only gives us two checks of MPG. First was 20.94 and the second was 21.96. With fewer than 1000 miles on the car our MPG could change. The sedan we traded averaged 22.8 so I will be happy if our mileage comes close see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2008	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am currently getting an average of 22-23 MPG, mostly city driving in this vehicle. I previously had a Dodge Ram 1500 Quadcab 4x4 which got an average of 11-12 MPG in the same conditions. Gas prices have driven me to change vehicles. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV turbocharged 148hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I drive the Diesel, so it is VERY economical. And here, on Aruba, Diesel is about 18cts per liter cheaper. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2005	4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Getting ~ 20MPG using BP regular unleaded from Kroger. Quick Trip in Loganville, GA for some as yet undetermined reason is consistently 1 to 2 MPG less??? Still, this is a far superior fuel economy realized from a full time 4WD SUV over my 96 Durango V-8 see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2004	4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	For a car of this size and weight, fuel economy is decent. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review

2011	4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Guzzles in stop and go traffic. ECO indicator is just that and not entirely believable at that. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2010	4dr SUV 175-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Only getting between 22-23 mpg around town on 4 cyl. My previous 6 cyl got 23-24. But the 4 cyl is surprisingly peppy. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2009	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It is a 3.3L 6 cylinder ( 242HP) engine, driven in mostly city driving....17.7 city MPG is realistic, but not amazing. In general, I would say the Santa Fe is average in fuel economy for a 6 cylinder SUV, but it is not outstanding in this area. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2008	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	got less MPG than the Escape see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2008	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	not bad for an SUV, but still expensive to fill its large tank. Goes about 600 km on a tank, at $1.20/L (in Canada) costs $80 see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Should be able to do better than 17 MPG around town with a 2.7L. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Expected better than 20mpg see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Not bad for its class, but certainly not a fuel sipper. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review
2007	4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Could be better. Wish it had the 6 speed auto instead of the 5speed. see full Hyundai Santa Fe review

2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I belive we could engineer better fuel economy, or put in a Diesel. Also, Four gears are lacking in a heavy, AWD Vehicle. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
2006	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	On average I get great mileage in the city 17.5 to 19 mpg. But on the highway I only get 22 unless I stay below 65 then I get 27 see full Chrysler Pacifica review

2004	4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	With todays fuel prices, the Pacifca is not for you if you city drive. I get around 14 to 16 in the city and on the highway I get around 19 to 21. Not the best out there on the road, but again weight and underpowered is the main cause. see full Chrysler Pacifica review
