Price list of Hyundai Santa Fe 2025
Compared to the old version, the starting price of the 2025 model has increased by VND 90 million. Meanwhile, the highest-end version is VND 96 million more expensive than its predecessor.
Especially, the 2025 model in Vietnam has added a 6-seater version similar to the one in the Korean market. However, as initially predicted, the diesel version has been discontinued, which could significantly affect the sales of the new Santa Fe as the diesel option was highly popular in the country.
Under the hood of the Hyundai Santa Fe 2025 are two gasoline engine options. The first is the Smartstream Theta III engine with 4 cylinders, natural aspiration, and a capacity of 2.5L, found in the Exclusive, Prestige, Calligraphy 2.5 7-seater, and Calligraphy 2.5 6-seater versions. Combined with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this engine produces a maximum output of 194 horsepower at 6,100 rpm and a peak torque of 246 Nm at 4,000 rpm.
On the other hand, the Calligraphy 2.5 Turbo version is equipped with a 2.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine, delivering 281 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 422 Nm of torque from 1,700 to 4,000 rpm. The power is transmitted to all four wheels via an 8-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Not only does it offer new engine options, but the Hyundai Santa Fe 2025 also boasts a design and equipment upgrade. The model adopts a square and imposing design style reminiscent of the luxury SUV Range Rover.
Hyundai Santa Fe 2025 has a squarer design than its predecessor.
On the outside, the SUV features many new “H”-shaped design details such as the LED daytime running lights that double as turn signals, the front bumper, and the taillights, enhancing its distinctiveness. Regardless of the trim level, the Santa Fe is fitted with adaptive LED headlights. Additionally, it comes with 18-inch, 20-inch, or 21-inch alloy wheels, depending on the version. This is the first time that the model offers such large wheel options in Vietnam.

The highest-end version of the car uses 21-inch wheels.
Despite having a squarer and more angular design compared to its predecessor, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2025 boasts an impressive drag coefficient of 0.298 Cd. This is achieved thanks to the intelligent grille shutter system that opens and closes depending on the driving conditions.
The most controversial aspect of this mid-size SUV’s design is arguably its rear end. Here, the car is equipped with a flat and larger tailgate compared to the previous generation. Hyundai opted for this tailgate design to increase the luggage compartment’s practicality, a strategic move for the sixth-generation Santa Fe.

Compared to the old model, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2025 is 45 mm longer and 50 mm taller. Its dimensions are now 4,830 mm long, 1,900 mm wide, and 1,780 mm high, while the wheelbase has increased by 50 mm to 2,815 mm.

The change in dimensions results in a more spacious interior for the new Santa Fe. Inside, the SUV offers two seating configurations: 2+2+2 (6-seater) and 2+3+2 (7-seater). Similar to the exterior, the interior also features “H”-shaped design elements such as the air vents, embroidered patterns on the seats, and embossed patterns on the seatbacks.

Other highlights include the electronic gear selector on the steering column and the automatic 3-zone climate control system operated via a touchscreen panel in the center console, reminiscent of luxury vehicles.

Standard equipment includes wireless phone charging, automatic parking brake, and automatic wipers. Higher-end versions add digital mirrors, a panoramic sunroof over the front row, a head-up display, and multi-color ambient lighting.

The Calligraphy 2.5 6-seater version is equipped with two individually adjustable captain’s chairs in the middle row, a first for an SUV in this segment in Vietnam.
Finally, the safety features include electronic stability control, tire pressure monitoring, hill start assist, downhill brake control, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and assistance, lane-keeping assist, and more.
