The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is a hybrid SUV with AWD and seating for 7. It belongs to the MX5 generation. The 1.6 T-GDi Hybrid is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1.6 T-GDi Hybrid version develops 230 hp and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.3 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 185 km/h (115 mph). Its power output is about 15% above the peer average. Its acceleration is close to the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 6.5 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 67.0 litres (17.7 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 148 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,830 mm (190.2 in) in length, 1,900 mm (74.8 in) in width, and 1,720 mm (67.7 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,815 mm (110.8 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 711 litres (25.1 cu ft), expanding to 1,988 litres (70.2 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 7 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,865 kg (4,112 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 2,500 kg (5,512 lb). That cargo volume is about 48% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 1.6 T-GDi Hybrid, 1.6 T-GDi HEV SE, 1.6 T-GDi HEV Limited AWD, HEV Calligraphy, and 1.6 PHEV Calligraphy. Across the range, the specifications span 215 hp to 253 hp, 8.0 s to 9.0 s, and 58 km, while listed starting prices run from $38,400-$51,900. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby hybrid SUV models from the same period, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is strongest on towing capacity and cargo capacity. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
