Hyundai Santa Fe (2025) 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 Hyundai Santa Fe is a large, seven-seat family SUV now in its fifth generation, offering more space, versatility, efficiency and technology than ever before. Available as a full hybrid with a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine or as a plug-in hybrid with 33.6 miles of electric range, it features a bold, boxy design measuring 4.83m long. The Santa Fe boasts a commanding driving position, refined powertrain, self-levelling suspension and a well-appointed interior with rugged, tactile materials. Middle-row seats slide and recline with easy access to the third row, whilst boot space ranges from 621 to 1,949 litres depending on seat configuration.

The Santa Fe is planted and surprisingly satisfying to drive, with smooth transitions between electric and petrol power. The hybrid delivers 236bhp with 0-62mph in 9.0-9.2 seconds, whilst the plug-in hybrid offers 249bhp and 9.3 seconds. All models feature self-levelling suspension, automatic terrain settings and Isofix fittings across multiple rows. However, the disappointing towing capacity of just 1,010-1,110kg, limited plug-in hybrid electric range, and clever cabin storage solutions are notable drawbacks. Prices start from around £48,000 for the hybrid and £52,000 for the plug-in hybrid.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, well-equipped seven-seat SUV with modern technology, reliability and distinctive styling, particularly those wanting hybrid or plug-in hybrid efficiency without premium badge costs.

Not ideal for: Caravanners or horse enthusiasts requiring substantial towing capacity, or buyers prioritising maximum electric range in a plug-in hybrid configuration.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Santa Fe if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped seven-seat SUV with modern technology, reliability and distinctive styling, particularly wanting hybrid or plug-in hybrid efficiency without premium badge costs.

Consider alternatives if: You require substantial towing capacity for caravans or horse boxes, or prioritise maximum electric range in a plug-in hybrid configuration.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Santa Fe is a truly brilliant seven-seat SUV that combines usefulness, ruggedness and great reliability at a reasonable price. Whilst the Kia Sorento edges ahead with a five-star expert rating and the Peugeot 5008 offers superior user ratings and value, the Santa Fe holds its own with excellent standard equipment, a nicely trimmed interior and enormous space and versatility. Its disappointing towing limit and limited plug-in hybrid electric range are notable drawbacks, but for families wanting a dependable, well-thought-out seven-seater without breaking the bank, the Santa Fe remains a highly compelling choice.
