Additional Notes
- The rear differential fluid capacity across all Hyundai Santa Fe TM (EU) configurations listed is 0.53-0.63 liters. A range rather than a fixed value typically reflects the tolerance between a drain-and-refill service fill and the point at which fluid reaches the check plug, accounting for minor variation in fluid retained within the unit.
- Under normal use conditions, all listed configurations share the same rear differential fluid check interval of 48 months or 60,000 km, whichever comes first. No fluid change interval is specified for normal use, meaning the schedule is inspection-based only.
- Under severe use conditions, the 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid AWD, 1.6 T-GDI Plug-in Hybrid AWD, 2.2 CRDI (142 kW) 4WD, and 2.2 CRDI (148 kW) 4WD configurations all carry both a check interval of 60,000 km or 48 months and a fluid change interval of 120,000 km.
- The severe-use schedule for the 2.2 CRDI 4WD (2018-2020) and 2.4 GDI 4WD (2018-2020) lists only a change interval of 120,000 km, without a separate check interval entry, distinguishing these earlier configurations from the post-2020 variants.
- The 2.2 CRDI engine appears in three distinct power output and year-range configurations: an unlisted-output variant for 2018-2020, a 148 kW variant for 2020-2022, and a 142 kW variant for 2022-2024. Despite the differing outputs, all three share the same 0.53-0.63 liter rear differential capacity.
- The 1.6 T-GDI Hybrid AWD and 1.6 T-GDI Plug-in Hybrid AWD configurations, both covering 2020-2024, carry identical rear differential fluid specifications across both normal and severe use conditions, including the 120,000 km change interval under severe use.
- A 120,000 km fluid change interval under severe conditions is a relatively extended drain interval for a rear differential, reflecting the sealed or low-maintenance design typical of modern electronically controlled rear drive modules used in AWD crossover applications.
