8 yrs / 160,000 km (hybrid battery). The warranty runs from when the car was first sold, so a 2022 car has about 4 years left and a 2024 car about 6 years left. Hybrid batteries are small and usually last the life of the car, but ask whether the hybrid system has had any warnings, and check the service history. A Toyota hybrid battery costs about $2,500–$3,500 fitted: battery replacement costs.
Running costs
At 250 km a week with NSW prices, a 2024 on (MX5) Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid costs about $33 a week in petrol. See the full Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid page for running costs in your state, servicing and the new-car price.
