Hyundai Nishat has taken a significant step in Pakistan’s automotive industry by exporting its locally assembled Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid.
The company announced the development on social media. The first batch of Completely Built Units (CBUs) was shipped to Sri Lanka on March 4.
A Hyundai Nishat official confirmed that these units were assembled in Pakistan, marking a notable achievement for the industry which has traditionally relied on imports.
The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid offers a modern exterior with a brushed aluminum front grille, dual LED projection lamps, and LAVA LED taillights. It also features 19-inch alloy wheels and HTRAC Hybrid with all-wheel-drive.
Inside, the SUV boasts premium materials, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and safety features like Blind Spot Monitoring, a 360-degree camera, and six airbags. Passengers also benefit from ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, and a spacious cabin with three-row seating.
Powered by a hybrid system, the Santa Fe delivers 227 horsepower and 350 Nm of torque. It offers multiple driving modes and an impressive fuel efficiency of 16 km/l in the city and 12.5 km/l on highways.
