2025 Hyundai Santa Fe price and specs

UPDATED 08/06/2025 8:00am:We’ve updated this article, first published in December 2024, with recently announced higher pricing for Santa Fe Hybrid models.

The fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe arrived here in 2024 at first with hybrid power, with a petrol engine joining the range in December.

From May 1, 2025, hybrid versions have gotten more expensive, with the gap between petrol and hybrid versions growing from $2500 to $4000.

Hyundai Australia confirmed the reason for the price increase was to align the Santa Fe with other models from the brand that offer both petrol and hybrid powertrains.

Pricing for petrol-powered Santa Fe variants is unchanged, though the XRT option packages are now $1000 more than at launch.

While the Santa Fe’s Kia Sorento cousin also offers a turbocharged 1.6-litre hybrid four-cylinder powertrain, it sticks with an older 3.5-litre V6 engine as the petrol option, while additionally offering a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four.

The Santa Fe, in contrast, features a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, as its base engine. No diesel is available in the latest generation.

The turbo-petrol is available across base, Elite and Calligraphy variants like the hybrid, with all-wheel drive available across all.

A price-leader front-wheel drive base variant is available at $53,000 before on-road costs, though the Santa Fe range still starts $6950 higher than the previous-generation model.

In addition to a lower price and more power than the Santa Fe Hybrid, the petrol-powered Santa Fe also features greater towing capacity (2000kg braked vs 1650kg), though that’s still down 500kg on turbo-diesel and V6 petrol versions of the previous-generation Santa Fe.
