2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

The SEL establishes itself with purposeful elegance: 18-inch alloy wheels, full LED lighting, matte black lower trim, hands-free liftgate, and sleek black roof rails. Its upright stance conveys confidence while maintaining aerodynamic poise. Upgrading to Limited introduces a refined twist—20-inch alloy wheels, power-folding mirrors, chrome accents, leather upholstery, and a panoramic sunroof. The exterior glistens with gloss black cladding and satin chrome trim, giving it a premium edge. At the summit, the Calligraphy trim radiates sophistication. It features dark-finish 20-inch wheels, Nappa leather, exquisite eco-suede headliners, second-row captain’s chairs, a full color heads-up display, and a digital rearview mirror with HomeLink.

Under the sculpted hood lies a 1.6L Turbocharged GDI I 4, harmoniously paired with a 44.2 kW electric motor and a battery system capacity of 1.49 kWh. Delivering 231 hp and 271 lbs. ft. of torque, the system channels its output through a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC®. FWD is standard, with HTRAC AWD available across all trims to handle Indiana’s icy winters and humid summers with vigor.

Dynamic and assured, the Santa Fe Hybrid marries versatility with comfort for daily commutes or weekend retreats. With MacPherson front struts and a multilink rear suspension, its ride quality remains remarkably poised, whether threading through Terre Haute’s downtown or exploring the trails near Raccoon Lake. Steering is responsive yet refined, delivering a grounded driving feel. Fuel economy impresses: FWD configurations achieve 36 MPG city and 35 MPG highway, while AWD models deliver 35/34 MPG. It tows up to 2,000 lbs.—perfect for light campers, trailers, or small watercraft. Though the hybrid powertrain yields 0–60 mph in just under 10 seconds, its strength lies in smooth, torque-rich acceleration and adaptive performance across terrains.

Stepping inside the Santa Fe Hybrid reveals a sanctuary of space, flexibility, and crafted details. With available seating for up to 7, its intelligently arranged third row provides genuine legroom—jealous seating rare in its class. The dashboard’s horizontal lines accentuate the vehicle’s width, flanked by dual 12.3inch digital displays that integrate driver information and infotainment seamlessly. Premium materials—including HTex leatherette on SEL, standard leather on Limited, and sumptuous Nappa on Calligraphy—elevate tactile luxury. Limited and Calligraphy trims supply ventilated front seats, heated second-row chairs, dual-zone climate control, and rear vents. Cargo capacity impresses: up to 79.6 cu. ft. with all rear seats folded, plus clever storage like an underfloor organizer and reclining second-row seats that slide for comfort or load versatility.

Every Santa Fe Hybrid arrives fortified with Hyundai SmartSense® safety technology. Standard features include Forward Collision Avoidance with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection, as well as Lane Keeping Assist with Lane Following Assist—ideal companions on I70. Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance and Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance support confident lane changes and reversing. On Limited and Calligraphy trims, Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and Remote Smart Parking Assist position the Santa Fe Hybrid alongside premium European SUVs. Highway Driving Assist II is standard, enabling semiautonomous control of steering and speed—providing reassurance during Indiana’s peak traffic on US41 or I70.
