Hyundai Motor Co. said on Tuesday that it released the 2025 Santa Fe, a model year change of its flagship midsize sports utility vehicle (SUV) The All-New Santa Fe.

The 2025 Santa Fe enhances its product competitiveness by expanding convenience and safety features and introducing new trims and practical option packages.

Hyundai Motor has emphasized safety appropriate for a midsize SUV by making the Hyundai SmartSense standard.

Hyundai SmartSense is an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) that features Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Highway Driving Assist 2, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control. It is standard from the Prestige trim onwards.

The newly added Prestige Plus trim builds on the Prestige trim, featuring standard equipment such as a Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, Parking Side Distance Warning, Remote Smart Parking Assist, Rear Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, and a Head-Up Display.

The entry-level Exclusive trim of the 2025 Santa Fe is equipped with a Head-Up Display, Panoramic Curved Display, 12.3-inch Color LCD Cluster, Digital Key 2 and Dual Wireless Smartphone Charging.

Hyundai has also added 20-inch wheels and tires to the 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid 2WD model. The fuel efficiency of this model meets the criteria for eco-friendly vehicle tax benefits.

The climate control display has separate buttons for heated and ventilated seats, and a fire extinguisher has been added to the interior.
