Need more space without compromising on comfort, technology or style?
Meet the Hyundai SANTA FE.
With its bold, distinctive design and exceptionally spacious interior, the SANTA FE is Hyundai's large family SUV for drivers who need room for people, luggage and everything that comes with them.
Choose from Self-Charging Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrid power, with flexible seating for up to seven and a generous 725-litre boot in the Self-Charging Hybrid.
Add advanced connectivity, intelligent driver assistance and available all-wheel-drive capability and the SANTA FE is equally comfortable handling the school run, motorway journeys or weekends away.
This is a Hyundai built for family life on a bigger scale.
The current SANTA FE range is fully electrified, giving you a choice of two hybrid powertrains.
The SANTA FE Self-Charging Hybrid combines a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and battery.
The system automatically manages petrol and electric assistance as you drive, while regenerative braking recovers energy to recharge the hybrid battery.
There's no need to plug it in.
Simply fill up with petrol and drive it like a conventional automatic car.
It's particularly appealing if you want the benefits of hybrid technology without needing access to a charger.
The SANTA FE Plug-in Hybrid uses a larger battery that can be charged from an external power supply.
That allows shorter everyday journeys to be completed using electric power, while the petrol engine remains available whenever you need to travel further.
The Plug-in Hybrid also features four-wheel drive, adding extra capability and reassurance in more challenging conditions.
If you can regularly charge at home or work and make plenty of shorter journeys, the Plug-in Hybrid could be the ideal SANTA FE.
The latest SANTA FE represents a dramatic departure from its predecessor.
Its upright, boxier shape has been designed to maximise interior space while giving the car a distinctive and confident road presence.
Signature H-shaped LED lighting creates an instantly recognisable appearance, complemented by a high bonnet, strong wheelarches and clean geometric body lines.
At the rear, the large tailgate and low-mounted H-shaped lights reinforce its broad, purposeful stance.
It's big, bold and unmistakably SANTA FE.
The SANTA FE's distinctive shape isn't simply about appearance.
Its longer wheelbase and squared-off rear body have helped Hyundai create an exceptionally spacious and versatile interior.
Depending on configuration, the SANTA FE can accommodate six or seven people, making it an excellent choice for larger families or anyone who regularly needs additional passenger space.
Fold the third row when it's not required and you gain a substantial luggage area.
The Self-Charging Hybrid offers an impressive 725 litres of boot capacity, giving you plenty of room for pushchairs, suitcases, shopping, sports equipment and everything else family life tends to generate.
One of the SANTA FE's most interesting options is its seating configuration.
Choose the traditional 7-seat layout and you get three rows of flexible family accommodation.
Alternatively, selected versions can be configured with six seats, replacing the middle-row bench with two individual captain's chairs.
The six-seat configuration creates a particularly premium environment for second-row passengers while also making it easier to access the third row.
If you regularly carry six rather than seven people, those individual middle-row seats could be well worth considering.
Hyundai has approached the SANTA FE's rear luggage area rather differently.
The exceptionally wide tailgate opening makes loading bulky items easier, but Hyundai also designed the area to work as something of an outdoor living space.
Open the tailgate, fold the rear seats and the large opening creates a terrace-like area where you can sit and enjoy the view.
Beach trip, picnic, dog walk, sporting event or camping weekend – the SANTA FE has been designed around the idea that your car can be part of the adventure rather than simply the way you get there.
The rugged exterior is contrasted by a sophisticated and comfortable cabin.
A horizontal dashboard and open centre console create a feeling of space, while high-quality materials and clever storage solutions make the interior particularly family friendly.
At the centre is Hyundai's Panoramic Curved Display, incorporating:
Depending on specification, additional technology includes:
It's a genuinely premium environment – but one designed to cope with everyday family life.
Large families tend to travel with a lot of stuff.
Hyundai appears to have noticed.
The SANTA FE includes useful storage throughout the cabin, including a centre console designed to be accessed from both the front and rear.
There's plenty of space for phones, drinks, bags and everyday essentials, while dual wireless charging on selected models allows two compatible smartphones to charge at the same time.
It's the less glamorous side of family-car design – but often the part you'll appreciate most.
The SANTA FE is available in three generously equipped specifications: Premium, Ultimate and Calligraphy.
Premium may be the starting point in the range, but its equipment level is anything but basic.
Highlights include:
For many families, Premium already provides everything expected from a large modern SUV.
Ultimate introduces additional luxury, technology and driver assistance.
Highlights include:
Ultimate is particularly appealing if the SANTA FE will regularly be used for longer family journeys.
Calligraphy sits at the top of the SANTA FE range and gives the car its most luxurious specification.
Highlights include:
For drivers looking for something approaching luxury-SUV comfort without leaving the Hyundai range, Calligraphy is the SANTA FE to consider.
Here's one of those clever SANTA FE features you might initially overlook.
On Calligraphy models, a concealed handle built into the C-pillar can provide additional support when accessing equipment carried on the roof.
It fits neatly into the SANTA FE's outdoors-focused philosophy and demonstrates how much thought has gone into the smaller practical details.
Calligraphy models also offer Premium Front Relaxation Seats.
At the touch of a button, the front seats can recline significantly and provide additional leg support.
They're ideal when you've stopped during a longer journey and want to properly relax rather than simply remain sitting upright in the car.
It's another feature that pushes the SANTA FE beyond conventional family-SUV territory.
The best SANTA FE powertrain largely depends on how you use your car.
Choose Self-Charging Hybrid if:
You want hybrid efficiency without having to plug in. It's particularly convenient if you don't have easy access to home charging or regularly make longer journeys.
Choose Plug-in Hybrid if:
You can charge regularly and many of your everyday journeys are relatively short. You can make greater use of electric driving while retaining the petrol engine for longer trips.
The Plug-in Hybrid also offers four-wheel drive, which may be important if you regularly tow or travel in more challenging conditions.
The SANTA FE isn't just about carrying people.
The Self-Charging Hybrid can tow up to 2,000kg braked, making it suitable for a wide variety of trailers and caravans.
The Plug-in Hybrid can tow up to 1,700kg braked.
That makes the SANTA FE an appealing option for families who need their SUV to work hard as well as provide comfortable everyday transport.
Always check the exact towing limits for your chosen model and the weight requirements of anything you intend to tow.
Selected SANTA FE models offer all-wheel-drive capability, while the Plug-in Hybrid features four-wheel drive.
Hyundai's Terrain Mode Selector allows the driver to select settings designed for different conditions, including snow, mud and sand.
You may not be planning to cross the Sahara on the school run, but additional traction can be reassuring on wet campsites, muddy tracks or winter roads.
Both are excellent family SUVs, but they cater for different requirements.
The TUCSON is the more compact and manageable option, offering excellent five-seat practicality without the additional bulk of a larger SUV.
The SANTA FE moves into a different league for space.
With six or seven seats, a significantly larger interior and up to 725 litres of boot capacity, it's designed for bigger families and drivers who regularly carry more passengers or luggage.
If five seats are enough, TUCSON may be all the SUV you need.
If you regularly find yourself wishing your car had just one more seat – SANTA FE is probably the answer.
A large family SUV needs a comprehensive range of safety technology, and the SANTA FE delivers.
Depending on specification, Hyundai SmartSense systems include:
The SANTA FE also features 10 airbags, providing additional protection throughout its spacious cabin.
Every new Hyundai SANTA FE comes with Hyundai's 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, providing long-term reassurance from the day you drive away.
Bold, spacious and exceptionally versatile, the Hyundai SANTA FE is designed for families who need their SUV to do more.
Choose Self-Charging Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrid power, flexible seating for up to seven and one of three generously equipped specifications – Premium, Ultimate or Calligraphy.
With exceptional passenger space, a 725-litre boot on the Self-Charging Hybrid, advanced connectivity, impressive towing capability and available all-wheel drive, it's equally prepared for everyday family life and much bigger adventures.

More and more motorists are choosing to drive electric and hybrid vehicles. As such, you’ll find plenty of charging points available across the UK, whether you’re in town, at work, or on the motorway.
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) at home is simple. You can either use a standard three-pin socket, or invest in a wallbox. The wallbox is a much faster solution, cutting charge times down by several hours. And with manufacturer deals or government incentives often available on wallboxes, it’s a cost-effective option too.
Many workplaces are starting to provide rapid-charging facilities for employees’ vehicles. Indeed, government help is available for businesses, such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which is provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEZ). If your workplace doesn’t yet have rapid charging, you can plug into a three-pin socket.
