How the 2025 Santa Fe Delivers Premium Features Across Every Trim Level
Posted on February 27, 2025
The 2025 Santa Fe is redefining value in the midsize SUV segment by spreading premium features throughout its entire lineup. From the Preferred Hybrid trim to the Ultimate Calligraphy, each model includes meaningful luxury touches that elevate your driving experience—no matter your budget.
This thoughtful approach to feature distribution allows drivers to enjoy genuine comfort, advanced technology, and practical amenities without needing to opt for the highest trims. The 2025 lineup showcases Hyundai’s commitment to driver satisfaction at every price point, rather than reserving the most desirable elements for top-tier models.
Standard All-Wheel Drive Across the Lineup
Every 2025 Santa Fe model comes standard with Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel drive system—often a costly option among competitors. This advanced system ensures reliable traction in varying road conditions while maintaining efficient fuel consumption. You get enhanced stability during winter and improved handling on winding roads, regardless of which trim you choose. This standard inclusion represents tremendous value, especially in the Preferred Hybrid, which combines all-wheel drive with efficient hybrid technology without raising the entry price.
Comprehensive Tech Right from the Base Model
Modern technology is a core element across the Santa Fe lineup. A 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard on all trims. Even the Preferred Hybrid includes key features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, multiple USB-C ports, and a smart key with remote start. Choosing the Preferred Hybrid with the Trend package adds a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and Hyundai’s Digital Key, while higher trims offer extras like built-in navigation, a head-up display, and a premium Bose sound system. This progressive technology rollout ensures access to advanced connectivity no matter the trim level.
Comfort-Enhancing Amenities for Everyday Life
The 2025 Santa Fe prioritizes real comfort—even at the entry level. The Preferred Hybrid trim features heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control—features that are often reserved for mid-range trims in competing models. As you move up the lineup, additions like ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and upgraded materials further enhance the experience. The Ultimate Calligraphy trim crowns the lineup with premium Nappa leather and driver’s relaxation seats with calf support. This thoughtful structure ensures that even budget-conscious buyers can enjoy everyday luxury.
Smart Interior Layout Across All Trims
Interior versatility is a constant throughout the lineup, with features tailored to your needs. Most trims come standard with a 7-passenger configuration, including 60/40 split-folding second-row seats and a stowable third row for maximizing cargo space. The Ultimate Calligraphy offers a more refined 6-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs—without sacrificing functionality. This consistent approach to interior design ensures your Santa Fe remains adaptable, no matter which trim you choose, supporting your changing needs for passengers and cargo.
Advanced Safety Tech, Regardless of Budget
Advanced safety systems are standard across the Santa Fe lineup, providing impressive protection for every driver. All models include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with stop-and-go, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision Warning. Upper trims add features like a Surround View Monitor, Remote Smart Parking Assist, and Highway Driving Assist 2, but the core safety architecture remains strong across the board. This ensures your family benefits from cutting-edge protection, unlike many competitors who limit key safety features to high-end models.
