Press down arrow on right of steering wheel and it changes the Range to Speed. Detail is availabile in the Owners Manual - Chapter 4 Page 40

 

Awesome, thanks for the info!!!

 

Yes, change your theme. Mine
is blue and looks like 3 D

 

No need to do that. Just read post 2 above.

 

On a related note, is there any way to display a tachometer?

 

If you turn the car on, the Tachometer is there all the time.
If you mean a digital tachometer - I'm not aware of any car that shows the revs like that without aftermarket mods.

 

Why? What's the point?

 

A tach seems like a reason request but please don’t upset Tex by shifting at redline.

Maybe you could educate us how the gauge on the right operates? Does the needle move like a tach, with engine speed, or does it reflect the accelerator pressure? Do you have a ”mode” dial? Have you tried other modes to see if you get a tach in one of them?

 

There is no option for a tach on my ’21 limited hybrid. You really need to drive it to understand how the right display works. The needle will be in the “Charge” section from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock when you are coasting or breaking. Closer to 10 if you lift on the gas and closer to 8 when braking a red light. It will be in “Eco” between 10 and 2 for normal driving (both local roads & highway) and light acceleration while moving will move towards 2. The needle will be in “Power” between 2 and 4 when when accelerating from a stop, near 2 or when passing on the highway closer to 4.

The drive mode you select, Eco, Sport, Snow or Smart also affects the display.

 

You also get that digital speed readout on the 10.25" Nav....

 

Unbelievable there's no tach on these cars. Back to the 70's.

 

You sure you cant change it? On our plug-in you can choose if you wanna see the rev counter or the eco meter and if it changes if you change the driving mode

 

You have a plug-in Santa Fe, or a different plug-in? That would be really weird if you could display a tach on the plug-in, but not on the hybrid. At any rate, I've tried everything I can think of, and I simply cannot find any way to display it on the Hybrid. If you change modes, it just changes the look/color of the displays, but the displays themselves remain the same.

 

yeah its a brand new santa fe plug in hybrid and u can definitely get the rev counter on that. seems strange the hybrid wouldnt have it, its basically the same powertrain

 

Interesting. I see you are in Europe (Liechtenstein). Either the software is different there, or the North American PHEV's will have the tach as well.

 

The ‘21 hybrids in the US definitely do not have the option to display a tach. Maybe it with change with the next software update (Oct ?) but as of right now it’s not available here.

 

Yeah the car is european, seems really strange that you dont get the revs in the usa. Looks like they went the toyota way with the eco meter, even though u have a normal gearbox.

 

I can totally understand people wanting to see the eco information, but it just seems so odd not to have the tachometer at least as an option when you have a digital instrument panel. All it would take is some added programming.

 

I guess they really don't put a tachometer on Hybrids because engine speed isn't really a direct relation to the vehicle speed. The engine is either charging the battery, providing energy to the electric motors, driving the wheels, or doing some combination of those.

I think manufacturers probably figured people would freak out and complain too much if they saw the engine speed in hybrids, so they just opted to delete the tach and replace it with the energy flow meter.

The Hybrid has around 2 miles of battery available to it. It's not like you're doing much on battery only.
I can understand it in a car like the Toyota with it's CVT system as the engine just shrieks no matter what speed it's doing.

Don't really understand why it would be available in the Plug-In and not the 'Mild' Hybrid, perhaps an update will give this functionality if enough issues are logged about the omission of this. I would not expect there to be any sensors omitted so it should be possible.

 

Received my PHEV yesterday and found where you can switch the Tachometer on in the settings. This allows you to link it to the Drive Mode setting, so it will come on for instance in 'Sport' but will give you the 'Economy Meter' in Eco mode. (Makes sense).

You can either search for 'Cluster' in settings or go into the Cluster Settings and hopefully 'Tachometer display' is available where you can run it on or off for different modes.

Hope this helps!

That's really cool. I wish my Hybrid had those settings. Thanks for the info!

 

I wouldn’t count on this feature making it to all markets, especially not the USDM vehicles. We’re lucky to figure out where the tire pressure is here…
