2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL

The 2025 Santa Fe is a midsize two-row SUV with an available third row, slotting between the compact Tucson and the larger Palisade. It competes with the Honda Passport, Toyota 4Runner, and Jeep Grand Cherokee, offering a boxier, more family-focused take on the segment. The Santa Fe drives with a composed, confident feel, and the hybrid's smooth power delivery makes it the pick for efficiency-minded buyers. Inside, the cabin is roomy and well laid out, with available captain's chairs and a large touchscreen that dominates the dash. The SEL adds H-Tex seating, heated front seats, and an 8-way power driver seat over the base SE, plus wireless device charging and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The SEL comes with 18-inch alloy wheels and full LED lighting, and the front-wheel-drive setup keeps weight off the nose for a lighter steering feel.
