Hyundai Canada has announced the pricing for the limited run of its Santa Fe Hybrid NHL Edition SUV.

The manufacturer’s suggested retail price starts at $56,998, which doesn’t include fees and taxes.

The company said 500 of these exclusive-to-Canada vehicles will be sold, and customers can choose from any of the 32 NHL team logos to adorn their SUV.

Hyundai Auto Canada, in collaboration with Connor Bedard, will also donate $500 (U.S.) for each one sold, for a total of $250,000, to the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation. The foundation works to create a healthier, smarter, more secure world for children and families in its local area, a news release from Hyundai Canada says.

“As our involvement with the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players’ Association grows, it’s important that we stay true to the commitment we made to hockey in the first place, and that is supporting the game at a grassroots level,” said Christine Smith, director of marketing at Hyundai Auto Canada, in a news release. “We are proud to be part of Connor’s journey as he takes the league by storm, and that means supporting his local NHL community in a way we know well at Hyundai – investing in youth and supporting local families and drivers of hockey to nurture talent wherever it may be.”

The NHL Edition is based on the Santa Fe’s top-of-the-line Ultimate Calligraphy trim, however it features a hybrid powertrain and the following accessories:

  • NHL team logo door sills from Quebec-based Luxwood
  • NHL team logo branded carpet mats
  • Hyundai branded floor liners and cargo tray from Ontario-based TuxMat
  • The Santa Fe Hybrid NHL Edition also exclusively offers:
  • 1.6 L turbo hybrid powertrain with six-speed automatic transmission
  • 20-inch black multi-spoke alloy wheels (unique to Hybrid)
  • Exclusive matte creamy white exterior paint (other non-exlusive colours are available)
  • Exclusive pecan brown Nappa leather interior
  • Addition of a passenger relaxation seat with extendable leg rest and ability to recline into a relaxing angle position

The turbocharged hybrid powertrain in the NHL Edition has a combined output of 231 hp and up to 271 lb.-ft. of torque, while a standard non-hybrid Ultimate Calligraphy trim would be powered by a 2.5 L turbocharged gasoline engine, with an estimated 277 hp and 311 lb.-ft. of torque.
