the Santa Fe plug-in hybrid
Hyundai goes big with the Santa Fe, which offers an expansive four-powertrain lineup including two hybrids. The Santa Fe PHEV is the most expensive model, and it offers 261 total system hp and 224 lb-ft of torque plus 30 miles of EPA-rated electric range. As with all plug-ins, this means you can whir to work on electric-only propulsion and the engine will kick in automatically once that range is depleted.
