2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is a six- or seven-passenger SUV, depending on configuration, and it's available in five main trim levels: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited and Calligraphy. There's also the Santa Fe Hybrid, which is available in SEL, Limited and Calligraphy trims. The regular Santa Fe has a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (277 horsepower, 311 lb-ft) and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Hybrid has a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder (231 hp, 271 lb-ft) and a six-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional for the Santa Fe. Here's what you can expect in each trim.
Which Santa Fe trim does Edmunds recommend?
The sweet spot for the Santa Fe is the SEL trim. For the reasonable price increase over the base SE, you get plenty of added features and conveniences that dress up the interior. We also think the Santa Fe Hybrid is worth getting. It doesn't cost much more than the regular Santa Fe and provides significantly better fuel economy with little downside.
