Hyundai Santa Fe (2025-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Lots of standard equipment	Disappointingly low towing limit
Nicely trimmed interior	Cabin storage could be cleverer
Enormous space and versatility	Limited electric range for plug-in hybrid

Quick Summary

The fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe (2025-present) is a significantly updated, larger, and more upmarket seven-seat family SUV. It boasts a new, boxier design and offers both full hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, with the latter providing around 33.6 miles of electric range. Despite its increased size and technology, it remains a highly versatile and roomy vehicle, offering ample space for adults in all three rows, flexible seating configurations, and a substantial boot, ranging from 621 to 1,949 litres depending on seat arrangement.

On the road, the Santa Fe delivers a planted, refined, and surprisingly satisfying driving experience, aided by smooth hybrid transitions and self-levelling suspension that ensures comfort without excessive softness. While not a performance car, it handles well for its size and can tackle light off-road conditions. Available in Premium, Ultimate, and Calligraphy trims, all models come generously equipped with advanced tech, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen and comprehensive driver assistance systems. Running costs are competitive, though the initial purchase price is higher than previous generations, and the towing capacity is notably limited.

Best for: Families needing a spacious, versatile, and well-equipped seven-seat SUV; buyers who appreciate a refined driving experience and modern technology; those looking for a robust and reliable car.

Not ideal for: Buyers who require a high towing capacity; those prioritising a long electric range from a PHEV; buyers on a strict budget who might find the starting price high; those who need maximum cabin storage ingenuity for every small item.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Santa Fe if: You're a family needing a spacious, versatile, and well-equipped seven-seat SUV; you appreciate a refined driving experience and modern technology; or you're looking for a robust and reliable car.

Consider alternatives if: You require a high towing capacity, prioritise a long electric range from a PHEV, are on a strict budget, or need maximum cabin storage ingenuity.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Santa Fe (2025-present) positions itself as a strong contender in the large seven-seat SUV segment. While its new, higher price point and disappointing towing capacity might deter some traditional buyers, it counters with significant improvements in space, versatility, refinement, and technology. It offers a more upmarket feel and bolder styling than many rivals, providing a compelling package for families seeking a well-equipped, comfortable, and reliable SUV, even if it faces tough competition from the Kia Sorento, Skoda Kodiaq, and Peugeot 5008 in terms of value and company car tax.
