The fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe made its global debut in South Korea in August 2023. This new generation features a completely redesigned exterior that has sparked some controversy.
The standout feature of the 2025 Santa Fe’s exterior is the new “H” shaped details, including the LED daytime running lights that double as turn signals, the front bumper, and the taillights. The front grille and central air intake are also rectangular, giving the front end a wider appearance.
On the sides, the vehicle sports angular wheel arches, a stretched roofline, and a choice of wheel designs up to 21 inches in diameter. The C-pillar now incorporates a new hidden door handle, making it easier to access the roof for loading cargo.

At the rear, the Santa Fe features a flat and upright tailgate, low-set taillights, and a discreetly hidden wiper blade. The rear design prioritizes functionality, aiming to increase the standard cargo capacity to 725 liters.

The interior of the Santa Fe has also been refreshed, featuring “H” shaped details throughout. These include the air vents, embroidered “H” on the seats, and embossed patterns on the seat backs.
The 2025 Santa Fe offers more spacious interiors thanks to its larger dimensions: 4,830 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,720 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,815 mm. Compared to its predecessor, it is 46 mm longer, 35 mm taller, and has a 48 mm longer wheelbase.
