I think slightly better in the city. But it's also a smaller vehicle, the new Santa Fe is longer, heavier, and has a third row seat. Depsite being bigger and blockier it has a lower drag coefficient than the previous generation so it slips down the highway better
Pretty interesting that this $50,000 new car had relatively high revs at 72mph. Did some quick math and both my brother's 2012 CR-V and the 2006 Odyssey we used to have should do about 2,000 RPM at the same speed, despite having one less gear, being older vehicles, and not being as upmarket (adjusted for inflation, both cost less than the Santa Fe) In fact, even my 2000 Tacoma 4-speed should theoretically use just 150rpm more for the same speed!
@@TheUnreadableUser Where did you get that the CX90 was "considerably" more aerodynamic? And you ignore the fact that the CX90 has a 3.3 turbo engine not that poor 1.6L hybrid. And still the CX90 had less consumption.
@@Eugen-E only on highway but in city driving this is much more efficient that 22 estimated mpg of the CX-90 . And a fun fact my neighbor bought the CX-90 and he is averaging 19 mpg city .
my odyssey is also more efficient than this on hwy. I was getting 32-33? City 20. What's your point? All highways are not free of traffic and you don't do 70mph all the time. Lifetime average of hybrid far exceeds that cx90.

First! Love the POV drives. Great work
The coefficient of drag is 0.294... which is outstanding!
Charlie, Have you switched to winter gas already?
Winter gas? Hardly knew her
😂
How did the prior gen Santa Fe hybrid score?

what is the color of the car you are driving in video?
I drove my ‘24 Hybrid for 5000 miles and I get around 30-31 mpg. I’m wondering how I can get claimed 34 mpg.
Get toyota hybrid
You’re supposed to use 91 btw. You said regular gasoline, which I’m assuming means 87 to you? Not sure, but just wanted to point it out 😅
Why do you say 91? I don't believe a Santa Fe is going to require 91.
Bad friends is funny
Why call it a crossover?

Your average speed was 66mph, not 70. The CX-90 3.3 turbo was more efficient LoL than this crappy 1.6L hybrid.
The CX-90 was also considerably more aerodynamic. What makes you think the 1.6T hybrid is crappy?

@@Eugen-E have you seen the Santa Fe? It's a giant box. And I ask again, what makes you think the 1.6L hybrid is crappy?
