2025 Santa Fe HEV: Upgrades, Performance, Safety & More!
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is here — and it's not just a refresh. It's a total reinvention. With bolder styling, upgraded technology, and more space than ever, this all-new SUV is ready to meet the needs of modern Canadian families. Whether it's school drop-offs in the city or road trips to the cottage, the Santa Fe delivers a flawless blend of style, comfort, and capability. The all-new SANTA FE has been identified as one of the best cars of 2024 at the annual TopGear.com Awards.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new for 2025 and why this might be Hyundai’s most exciting SUV yet.
Turbocharged Power with Everyday Efficiency
Under the hood, the gas-powered 2025 Santa Fe is available with a 2.5-litre turbocharged engine that delivers 311 lb-ft of torque and 277 horsepower. It's paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that offers quick, smooth shifts and strong acceleration.
Fuel economy is estimated at around 10.8 L/100 km combined — quite good for a midsize SUV with this level of power. Plus, the available HTRAC all-wheel-drive system provides added confidence in rain, snow, and rougher road conditions often found across Canada.
Striking New Design with a Purpose
The most noticeable change is the completely redesigned exterior. The 2025 Santa Fe now features a more rugged, boxy silhouette that stands out from the crowd. Inspired by outdoor adventure, the design includes a wide front grille, sleek H-shaped LED headlights, and strong, angular lines that give it a bold, modern presence. It also offers a variety of wheel options, from 18–to 22-inch alloy wheels, for a better experience.
It’s the kind of SUV that looks just as at home in a downtown parking lot as it does on a muddy trail. Hyundai clearly designed it for drivers who want both style and substance. Hyundai SANTA FE Named 'Supreme Winner' at 2025 Women's Worldwide Car of the Year Awards
A Spacious, Tech-Savvy Interior
Inside, the 2025 Santa Fe is all about space and smart design. The cabin feels open and modern, thanks to a clean dash layout and high-quality materials. Front and centre is a pair of 12.3-inch screens — one for the digital instrument cluster display and the other for the infotainment system. Both are crisp, easy to navigate, and packed with features.
The infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and there’s also available wireless charging, USB-C ports for all rows, and an optional head-up display. Everything is built to keep passengers connected, charged, and entertained — ideal for your busy families.
Room to Relax — Even in the Third Row
The boxy new shape doesn’t just look good — it adds more interior room. Second- and third-row passengers now enjoy extra legroom, making long drives more comfortable. Families will also appreciate the available quilted Nappa leather seating, ambient lighting, and thoughtful storage throughout the cabin.
Whether it's groceries, hockey bags, or gear for a weekend escape, the Santa Fe delivers with up to 2,267 litres of cargo space—plenty of room to carry it all with ease. The all-new Santa Fe has also earned top honours, being named Carwow’s Best Car of the Year and receiving the Family Values Award for its practicality and family-friendly design.
Packed with Hyundai SmartSense Safety Features
Safety has consistently been a top priority for Hyundai, and the 2025 Santa Fe continues that tradition. It comes loaded with advanced driver assistance features under the Hyundai SmartSense banner, including:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Blind-Spot View Monitor
- Highway Driving Assist
- Lane Keeping & Lane Following Assist
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Surround View Monitor
These systems are designed to make everyday driving safer and less stressful — whether on the highway or in busy parking lots.
Hyundai continues to earn top safety ratings, with the Santa Fe receiving a five-star rating from the NHTSA and the 2024 model recognized as an IIHS Top Safety Pick — reinforcing Santa Fe’s reputation for safety and reliability.
