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, classy cabin with hard-wearing materials, and excellent practicality with sliding and reclining middle-row seats, reasonable third-row access, and generous boot space of 621-628 litres with five seats in use.

The Santa Fe is planted, refined and surprisingly satisfying to drive, with smooth powertrain transitions and hushed performance. The hybrid delivers 236bhp with 0-62mph in 9.0-9.2 seconds, whilst the plug-in hybrid offers 249bhp and 9.3 seconds. Self-levelling suspension keeps the ride cushy without feeling soft, and Sport mode provides weightier steering for more engaging driving. However, the disappointing towing capacity of just 1,010-1,110kg and limited plug-in hybrid electric range are notable drawbacks. Running costs are reasonable with servicing from £11 monthly, though prices start at nearly £48,000 for the hybrid and around £52,000 for the plug-in hybrid.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, well-equipped seven-seat SUV with excellent practicality, modern technology, and reliable hybrid powertrains, particularly those not requiring significant towing capacity.

Not ideal for: Caravanners and horse enthusiasts needing substantial towing capacity, or those seeking maximum electric range from a plug-in hybrid.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Santa Fe if: You're seeking a spacious, well-equipped seven-seat SUV with excellent practicality, modern technology, and reliable hybrid powertrains, particularly if you don't require significant towing capacity.

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

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Santa Fe is a truly brilliant seven-seat SUV that offers enormous space, versatility, and a nicely trimmed interior with lots of standard equipment. Whilst the Kia Sorento edges ahead with a five-star expert rating and the Peugeot 5008 offers better value deals, the Santa Fe remains a highly competitive choice. Its self-levelling suspension, refined hybrid powertrains, and commanding driving position make it a sensible and lovable option for families. The main drawback is its disappointingly low towing limit, which may deter caravanners and horse enthusiasts who previously favoured the Santa Fe. For those not requiring towing capacity, this is well worth considering as a reliable, useful, and rugged family SUV.
