Muhammad NaeemThe Hyundai Santa Fe price in Pakistan starts at Rs 13,258,000 for the Smart variant and goes up to Rs 14,720,000 for the top Signature variant. Both prices are ex-factory, so registration, taxes and insurance are extra. The Santa Fe is a large seven-seat hybrid SUV assembled locally by Hyundai Nishat Motors, and it remains the biggest hybrid passenger vehicle in Hyundai’s Pakistan lineup.
Both variants use the same 1.6-litre turbocharged hybrid engine with 227 HP of combined power. The Smart is front-wheel drive while the Signature adds all-wheel drive. Hyundai refreshed these prices in September 2026, when a cut in sales tax on locally assembled hybrids brought the Signature down by Rs 1.403 million and the Smart down by Rs 1.316 million.
Hyundai Santa Fe price in Pakistan
| Variant | Drive | Ex-factory price |
| Santa Fe Smart | Front-wheel drive | Rs 13,258,000 |
| Santa Fe Signature | All-wheel drive | Rs 14,720,000 |
These are the latest prices shown by PakWheels and multiple Pakistani news outlets after the September 2026 tax relief. Before the relief, the same two variants cost Rs 14,574,000 and Rs 16,123,000. The government had raised sales tax on hybrids to 25 percent in the federal budget for 2026-27, which pushed prices up in August 2026, and then reduced it to 18 percent for locally assembled hybrids up to 2000cc from September 13, 2026. Hyundai passed the relief on to buyers. Delivery time is currently around one week, which is short for a vehicle in this price bracket.
Hyundai Santa Fe variants in Pakistan
Hyundai sells the Santa Fe in Pakistan in two variants only: Smart and Signature. Both share the same hybrid powertrain, the same seven-seat cabin, and the same basic equipment. The difference is the drivetrain and a set of comfort and safety extras.
Santa Fe Smart
The Smart is the entry point at Rs 13,258,000. It drives the front wheels only, which keeps the price down. Equipment includes six airbags, a panoramic sunroof, heated seats, remote engine start, a powered tailgate, and 19-inch alloy wheels. The hybrid system is identical to the one in the Signature, so fuel economy is the same. This is the variant to pick if you drive mostly in the city, rarely need all-wheel drive, and want the Santa Fe experience for the lowest outlay.
Santa Fe Signature
The Signature costs Rs 14,720,000, which is Rs 1,462,000 more than the Smart. For that money you get all-wheel drive with multi-terrain modes for snow, mud and sand, plus an active on-demand four-wheel-drive system. It also adds a differential lock, a blind spot monitor, ventilated front seats in addition to heated seats, and a head-up display. The Signature is the pick for buyers who travel out of the city, drive on rough roads, or simply want every feature Hyundai offers in the Santa Fe.
Engine, mileage and performance
The Santa Fe uses a 1598cc 1.6-litre turbocharged GDi hybrid engine. The petrol engine makes 177 HP at 5500 rpm with 265 Nm of torque, and the electric motor assists it, giving a combined system output of 227 HP and 350 Nm. Power goes through a 6-speed automatic gearbox with a shift-by-wire gear selector. Drive modes include Smart, Eco and Sport.
Fuel economy is rated between 13 and 15 km per litre, which is the main reason buyers choose this SUV over a large diesel or petrol alternative. Real-world economy depends on driving style, but owners report strong numbers for a seven-seater of this size. The hybrid battery is a lithium-ion polymer unit that charges through regenerative braking, so there is no plug and no need to change how you refuel.
Features and safety
The cabin is the selling point of the fifth-generation Santa Fe. It seats seven people across three rows with a wide, upright body that gives generous headroom. The dashboard carries a curved dual display, and the steering wheel is leather-wrapped and heated on both variants. Comfort equipment includes the panoramic sunroof, heated seats on the Smart, heated and ventilated seats on the Signature, dual-zone climate control, and a powered tailgate.
Safety equipment includes six airbags as standard. The Signature adds the blind spot monitor and head-up display over the Smart. Both variants get disc brakes front and rear, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and hill-start assist. The Santa Fe is wide for its class at 1900 mm, which helps shoulder room but needs care in tight city parking.
Dimensions and boot space
| Measurement | Smart | Signature |
| Length x width x height | 4785 x 1900 x 1710 mm | 4785 x 1900 x 1710 mm |

Hyundai Santa Fe on-road price in Pakistan
Quoted prices are ex-factory. The on-road price adds withholding tax, which differs for filers and non-filers, plus registration and insurance. As an example, the Signature variant with an ex-factory price of Rs 14,720,000 works out to roughly Rs 15.35 million on the road for a filer and roughly Rs 15.94 million for a non-filer in Lahore. Exact numbers change with the city of registration and insurance choice, so confirm the final figure with a Hyundai dealer before booking.
Santa Fe vs its rivals
The Santa Fe competes with the Toyota Fortuner, the Kia Sorento and the Haval H6 HEV. Against the Fortuner, the Santa Fe is far more fuel-efficient and feels more car-like to drive, though the Fortuner has stronger off-road roots. Against the Haval H6 HEV, the Santa Fe is bigger, seats seven, and carries the Hyundai badge, but it costs more.
The Kia Sorento is the closest rival since both are seven-seat Korean SUVs with hybrid options. Buyers comparing running costs across vehicle sizes can also check the Toyota Corolla price in Pakistan to see what a smaller, cheaper family car costs by comparison. In the end, the Santa Fe suits buyers who want a large family SUV with hybrid economy and are willing to pay over Rs 13 million for it.
