Question 1

Is the 2022 Santa Fe identical to the 2021 or are there changes?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Santa Fe is a carry-over of the 2021 facelift with minor equipment adjustments and one significant addition: the Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) arrives for the first time on this generation. The PHEV offers 265 hp and approximately 47 km of EPA electric range. For standard and Hybrid variants, Hyundai expanded blind-spot warning to the Preferred AWD, and wireless charging is included in more configurations. The colour palette is updated with new additions and deletions. The 2022 PHEV debut is the most substantive change in the lineup this year.

Question 2

Is the 2022 Santa Fe PHEV a good used buy in 2026?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Santa Fe PHEV with 60,000 to 80,000 km sells between $34,000 and $40,000 in 2026. For an owner with home charging on a 240V outlet, the majority of daily driving can be done on electricity — real savings of $250 to $350 per month on fuel for a typical 1,500 km monthly commute pattern. The 13.8 kWh battery carries an 8-year/160,000 km warranty for the original owner; verify whether any portion is transferable on a used purchase. This is a particularly rational buy for suburban commuters with a home charger. Without home charging capability, the PHEV loses most of its economic justification.

Question 3

Is the 2022 Santa Fe AWD better than the 2022 Mazda CX-5 AWD for Quebec winters?

Accepted Answer

Both the 2022 Santa Fe AWD and CX-5 AWD perform well in Quebec winter conditions, but with different strengths. The Santa Fe has slightly more ground clearance (185 mm vs. 179 mm) and a more generous footprint — useful for hauling family and ski gear. The CX-5 is a more engaging drive and slightly more fuel-efficient. Both require dedicated winter tires for true winter performance — AWD does not substitute for proper winter rubber. For a family making ski weekend runs with equipment and passengers, the Santa Fe wins on practicality. For a driver who values the drive, the CX-5 is more rewarding.
