Santa Fe SE: The Essential Choice

Starting at $34,200

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SE

The SE trim opens the door to the 2025 Santa Fe lineup with an impressive list of standard features. Under the hood, you’ll find a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cyulinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, outputting a robust 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. While front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, you can opt for all-wheel drive (AWD) for an additional $1,800. In terms of fuel economy, the SANTA FE delivers 24 MPG combined, 20 MPG city, and 29 MPG highway for FWD. Surprisingly, AWD fuel economy numbers are the same, besides 1 MPG less on the highway. 

The SE is packed with Hyundai’s SmartSense suite of safety features, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. In terms of convenience, this trim also comes with a hands-free power liftgate, 18-inch alloy wheels, and proximity keyless entry. Inside, the SE offers a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making tech integration seamless and cord-free.

Who is it for?

The SE trim is perfect for buyers who want a well-equipped, safe, and affordable 3-row SUV with all the essential modern tech and convenience features.

Santa Fe SEL: The Value Leader

Starting at $36,700

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL

Building on the SE, the SEL trim adds more comfort and convenience features, making it the sweet spot of the lineup. The 8-way power driver’s seat and heated front seats offer a more luxurious ride, while the dual-zone automatic climate control ensures both driver and passengers stay comfortable.

Tech enthusiasts will appreciate the wireless charging pad and Hyundai Digital Key 2, allowing you to turn your phone into a key. Safety gets a boost with forward attention warning and an ultrasonic rear occupant alert, ensuring no one is left behind in the back seat.

Who is it for?

If you’re looking for a balance between affordability and extra features like heated seats, wireless charging, and enhanced safety systems, the SEL offers excellent value.

Santa Fe XRT: For the Adventurous

Starting at $40,850

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT

If you’re planning to hit the trails or just love the rugged look, the XRT is the trim for you. It’s designed with off-road enthusiasts in mind, featuring HTRAC all-wheel drive as standard and an additional 1-inch of ground clearance for better off-road capability. The XRT comes with all-terrain tires, roof rail crossbars, and C-pillar assist handles, making it more than just an SUV—it’s your adventure work horse. However, fuel economy does take a hit due to the all-terrain tires and added weight, delivering 22 MPG combined, 19 MPG city, and 26 MPG hwy.

A power sunroof, navigation-based adaptive cruise control, and Hyundai’s Highway Driving Assist bring both comfort and convenience to longer drives, whether on the road or off the beaten path.

Who is it for?

This trim is ideal for families or individuals who crave outdoor adventures and need a vehicle capable of handling rugged terrain, yet still want all the creature comforts of a modern SUV.

Santa Fe Limited: Luxurious and Loaded

Starting at $43,600

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited

The Limited trim adds features mostly reserved for more luxurious lineups to the Santa Fe . Riding on 20-inch alloy wheels, the Limited also includes a dual-pane sunroof, leather upholstery, and rain-sensing wipers for an upscale driving experience. Inside, you’ll find heated and ventilated front seats, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, and a 360-degree Surround View monitor for a truly premium feel. It even comes with cutting edge tech, like  fingerprint recognition and a UV-C sanitizer compartment – a rare find in this segment.

Driver-assistance features take a leap forward with Remote Smart Parking Assist, which can help you park in tight spots, and Parking Collision-Avoidance-Assist-Reverse for added safety.

Who is it for?

The Limited trim is for those who want the finer things in life without stepping into luxury SUV pricing. It’s packed with features that increase both comfort and safety, making it a great choice for long road trips or daily driving in style.

Santa Fe Calligraphy: The Ultimate Trim

Starting at $46,750

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Caligraphy

At the top of the Santa Fe lineup is the Calligraphy trim, where Hyundai pulls out all the stops. The exterior boasts 21-inch alloy wheels, while the interior is draped with Nappa leather upholstery, and adds second-row captain’s chairs, and a driver’s relaxation seat for the ultimate in comfort. The head-up display projects vital information onto the windshield, and the camera-based rearview mirror provides an unobstructed view behind the vehicle, even when the rear seats are occupied.

With Highway Driving Assist 2, the Calligraphy takes semi-autonomous driving to the next level, adding lane-changing capabilities to your cruising experience.

Who is it for?

If you want the best of the best, the Calligraphy delivers. It’s for those who refuse to compromise on luxury, comfort, or tech, making it perfect for drivers who want to feel like they’re driving a premium SUV.
