2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL Performance Feature

Same Strong Power, Built for Different Priorities

Under the hood, the Hyundai Santa Fe SEL and Limited trims are powered by a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers a robust 277 horsepower. That’s more than enough muscle for smooth highway passing and confident towing. Whether you go with Front-Wheel Drive or opt for Hyundai’s available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system, you’ll get dependable performance and identical fuel economy: 20 mpg city, 29 mpg highway (FWD) or 20/28 mpg (AWD).

Both trims also offer a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. with trailer brakes—ideal for small trailers, boats, or weekend gear. The difference comes down to how you want to experience that capability. The Santa Fe SEL provides a balanced, no-fuss driving experience with available AWD and 18-inch alloy wheels. The Santa Fe Limited steps things up with larger 20-inch wheels and additional features to support comfort and control, like power-folding mirrors and rain-sensing wipers—useful touches for those who want an elevated daily drive.

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Tech Feature

Tech That Works the Way You Live

When it comes to technology, both the Santa Fe SEL and Limited trims offer a well-connected cabin with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Wireless charging and Hyundai Digital Key 2 also come standard on both trims, letting you access the vehicle with your smartphone and keep devices powered without cords.

The Santa Fe Limited takes things a step further in its driver-assist and safety tech. In addition to Smart Cruise Control, it features Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Curve Control, plus a Blind-Spot View Monitor, Surround View Monitor, and Remote Smart Parking Assist. These extras can make daily driving and tight parking situations feel a lot easier—especially for drivers who value added peace of mind.

Meanwhile, the Santa Fe SEL delivers all the essentials like Parking Distance Warning (front and rear) and Stop & Go Smart Cruise Control, offering a confident drive with fewer distractions.

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL Interior Comfort Feature

Two Approaches to Comfort and Style

Both models seat up to seven passengers, but the materials and finishes vary to suit different preferences. The Santa Fe SEL features H-Tex® seating surfaces, LED interior lighting, and a cloth headliner—perfect for drivers who want durability and style without going overboard. It also includes 2-way lumbar support for the driver and an easygoing, refined cabin experience.

In contrast, the Hyundai Santa Fe Limited surrounds you with more luxury touches. Leather-trimmed seats, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting create a more upscale atmosphere. The driver benefits from 4-way lumbar support and an Integrated Memory System that remembers their preferred seat settings. Rear passengers aren’t forgotten either, with heated rear seats and a dual-pane sunroof that adds an open, airy feel to the cabin.

The Santa Fe Limited also features a premium Bose® audio system with 12 speakers and dynamic voice recognition—ideal for those who want to enjoy their music and use voice commands seamlessly.

Two Great Choices, One Perfect Fit for You

Whether you’re drawn to the well-rounded practicality of the SEL or the luxury and advanced features of the Limited, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe delivers a confident, capable SUV experience. Your ideal choice comes down to how you plan to use it—from daily errands to weekend road trips.
