I-65 and US-30 Stop-and-Go Efficiency

The US-30 corridor between Merrillville and Hobart, and the I-65 interchange near Crown Point, are characterized by high stop-light density and moderate congestion. This is exactly where the Santa Fe Hybrid’s regenerative braking delivers the most fuel benefit. Crown Point buyers commuting these routes in a gas vehicle typically achieve 18-22 mpg city; the Santa Fe Hybrid achieves 37 mpg city in the same conditions.

No Charging Access? Hybrid Is the Answer

A meaningful share of Crown Point and Portage buyers rent or live in multi-unit properties without personal garage charging. The Santa Fe Hybrid delivers electrification’s efficiency advantages without requiring any charging infrastructure — it fills at a standard gas pump and recharges itself through driving.

AWD for Porter County and South Lake County Winters
