Hyundai Santa Fe NHL Edition: These Are the Top 3 Teams Chosen by Canadians
Earlier this year, Hyundai unveiled a limited NHL Edition of the new Santa Fe at the Montreal Auto Show, exclusively for the Canadian market. Only 500 units will be made. We asked Hyundai how many it has sold so far and also which teams are the most popular among customers.
Before getting to that, let's remind you that the NHL Edition is based on the Ultimate Calligraphy model, which means it contains all the bells and whistles in terms of technology. However, it uses hybrid technology built around a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine instead of relying on the turbocharged 2.5-litre engine. The system delivers a combined 232 horsepower and 272 lb-ft of torque.

When it comes to styling, the NHL Edition is finished in an exclusive Creamy White matte paint and distinguishes itself with 20-inch black multi-spoke rims. Inside, the cabin boasts personalized Luxwood door sills, as well as WeatherTech floor and cargo liners featuring the NHL team logo of the customer’s choosing.
Hyundai told us that the very last of the 500 units will be built later this month. Who's going to get their hands on it? We also learned about the most popular NHL teams chosen by customers. Want to take a guess at the top three?
In third place, 38 Canadians chose the Vancouver Canucks (8%). The Montreal Canadiens came in second with 116 units (23%). And finally, the Toronto Maple Leafs take the Stanley Cup (sort of…) with 189 units (38%).
