There has been much anticipation surrounding the launch of the new Hyundai Santa Fe in Vietnam, with dealership staff leaking information about its upcoming release. Dealerships have now started taking bookings for this highly anticipated mid-size SUV.
According to a sales consultant at a dealership, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe will be officially launched in Vietnam around September or October this year. It is one of two new models that Hyundai is preparing to introduce to the Vietnamese market in the third quarter. The other model is expected to be the 2025 Hyundai Tucson.
Vietnamese dealerships are taking bookings for the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe, which is expected to launch in the third quarter of this year.
While waiting for the new generation model to arrive, dealerships are offering discounts on the previous-generation Hyundai Santa Fe. The manufacturer is offering a discount of VND 50 million for both gasoline and diesel versions of the car. The hybrid version receives an even more significant discount of VND 100 million. As a result, the price of the previous-generation Hyundai Santa Fe has been reduced to a range of VND 979 million to VND 1.269 billion.
Additionally, dealerships are providing their own discounts on the mid-size SUV to clear out old inventory. Currently, some dealerships are offering a VND 50 million discount on the Hyundai Santa Fe.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is already a popular choice in the Vietnamese market, with strong sales figures. In the first half of this year, Vietnamese customers purchased a total of 2,119 units of the SUV, making it the second best-selling model in the mid-size SUV segment, only surpassed by the Ford Everest. With the introduction of the new generation, Hyundai Santa Fe is expected to further improve its sales performance.
Specific details about the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe for the Vietnamese market have not yet been disclosed. However, we can get a good idea of what to expect by looking at the model currently sold in foreign markets.
The fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe was first introduced in South Korea in August 2023. This new generation model features a completely redesigned exterior, adopting a style reminiscent of the luxurious Range Rover SUV. However, the bold new design has also sparked some controversy.
