Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid lease deals hit Queens dealers

Hyundai dealers in Queens are offering leases on the 2027 Santa Fe Hybrid SEL AWD, a vehicle designed for families needing space and fuel efficiency. The model features a 1.6-liter turbo engine and an electric motor that produce 231 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque. It is powered by a 6-speed automatic transmission and HTRAC all-wheel drive.
The vehicle measures 190.2 inches in length, making it shorter than many three-row SUVs. This size is relevant for parallel parking in neighborhoods like Woodside, Elmhurst, and Sunnyside, as well as for fitting into shared garages in Forest Hills and Rego Park co-ops. The compact footprint is a key factor for drivers who navigate tight streets daily.
Fuel economy is a primary selling point in heavy traffic conditions. The window sticker lists a combined rating of 35 MPG, with 35 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. By comparison, the gas-only Santa Fe SEL is rated at 23 MPG combined. For a driver traveling 10,000 miles a year, the hybrid could save approximately 150 gallons of gas. The electric motor assists at low speeds, which reduces fuel waste during stop-and-go driving on routes like the LIE, Grand Central Parkway, or Northern Boulevard.
The interior accommodates seven passengers in three rows. With all seats in use, there is 14.6 cubic feet of cargo space. Folding the third row expands this to 40.5 cubic feet, while folding both rear rows provides 79.6 cubic feet. The vehicle includes a power liftgate, USB ports in all rows, and air vents for the second and third rows. It can tow up to 2,000 pounds.
Three dealerships in Queens currently stock or can order the vehicle. These include Koeppel Hyundai in Long Island City, Star Hyundai on Northern Boulevard in Bayside, and Empire Hyundai of Jamaica on Hillside Avenue. Drivers can visit any of these locations to view the car or service it under warranty.
Leasing options are available through VIP Auto Lease, which matches or beats dealer quotes with zero down payments. Listed prices as of November 3, 2026, start at $255 per month before tax. New York City sales tax of 8.875 percent is typically rolled into the initial payment. The first month's payment, bank fee, and DMV fees are due at signing.
The vehicle comes with a five-year or 60,000-mile basic warranty. The powertrain and hybrid system are covered for ten years or 100,000 miles. This coverage spans the typical length of a lease agreement. Customers can select their preferred color and sign paperwork digitally, with delivery to their door usually completed within 24 to 48 hours after the vehicle is ready.
Prices are subject to change based on manufacturer incentives that vary monthly. The stated monthly payments are from VIP Auto Lease and do not include taxes. The fuel economy figures are derived from the vehicle's official window sticker.
