2025 Hyundai Santa Fe

Performance

The standard engine is a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque that is mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Optional is a 1.6-liter turbocharged hybrid electric that outputs 232 horsepower and 271 lb-ft of torque, with a 6-speed automatic.

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe with the 2.5-liter engine gets 20 mpg (city) and 29 mpg (highway) with front-wheel drive. When equipped with all-wheel drive it achieves 20 mpg (city) and 28 mpg (highway), with the XRT slightly less. The hybrid 1.6-liter gets 36 mpg (city) and 35 mpg (highway), with all-wheel drive knocking a single mpg off each figure.

Exterior

The current Santa Fe deviates from previous generations of the vehicle. All American models have been exclusively a two-row SUV. The square design gives the Santa Fe a striking road presence.

• Exterior dimensions are in inches:
• Length: 190.2
• Wheelbase: 110.8
• Width: 74.8
• Height: 67.7 / Roof rack: 69.7 / XRT: 70.7 / Calligraphy: 70.1

As Hyundai is committed to eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable practices, the painted black exterior trim pieces use recycled carbon materials. The 2025 Santa Fe adds Atlantis Blue as a new no-cost exterior color for SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy trim levels.

Interior

With its beautiful and well-laid-out interior, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe features horizontal and vertical styling similar to the exterior design. A Panoramic Curved Display is a first-in-class feature that puts the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display together. A dual 15-watt wireless charger is featured for two smartphones. A 12-speaker Bose premium audio system is available.

The front passenger seat has Relaxation Comfort with a leg rest that gives a weightless feeling for full relaxation on long drives. The available second-row captain’s chairs have a power recline function. The Santa Fe incorporates eco-friendly materials in the interior’s soft surfaces, including the headliner, seatbacks, instrument panel, door trim, and seats.

The Santa Fe has 79.6 cubic-feet of cargo capacity behind the front seats, 40.5 cubic-feet behind the second row, and 14.6 cubic-feet behind the third row. The third-row legroom is best-in-class.
