2025 Hyundai Santa Fe price and specs
The fifth-generation Hyundai Santa Fe arrived here in 2024 at first with hybrid power, with a petrol engine joining the range in December.
From May 1, 2025, hybrid versions have gotten more expensive, with the gap between petrol and hybrid versions growing from $2500 to $4000.
Hyundai Australia confirmed the reason for the price increase was to align the Santa Fe with other models from the brand that offer both petrol and hybrid powertrains.
Pricing for petrol-powered Santa Fe variants is unchanged, though the XRT option packages are now $1000 more than at launch.

While the Santa Fe's Kia Sorento cousin also offers a turbocharged 1.6-litre hybrid four-cylinder powertrain, it sticks with an older 3.5-litre V6 engine as the petrol option, while additionally offering a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four.
The Santa Fe, in contrast, features a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, as its base engine. No diesel is available in the latest generation.
The turbo-petrol is available across base, Elite and Calligraphy variants like the hybrid, with all-wheel drive available across all.
A price-leader front-wheel drive base variant is available at $53,000 before on-road costs, though the Santa Fe range still starts $6950 higher than the previous-generation model.
In addition to a lower price and more power than the Santa Fe Hybrid, the petrol-powered Santa Fe also features greater towing capacity (2000kg braked vs 1650kg), though that's still down 500kg on turbo-diesel and V6 petrol versions of the previous-generation Santa Fe.
While all Santa Fe models have MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension, there's a difference in brake setup between the 2.5T and Hybrid models.
2.5T models have 345mm x 30mm ventilated front discs and 305mm x 11mm solid rear discs, while hybrids have 325mm x 30mm ventilated front discs and 325mm x 20mm ventilated rear discs.
Service pricing is essentially identical between petrol and hybrid variants.
12 months of roadside assist is included, with an additional 12 months each time you service with Hyundai.

Honda won't follow BYD, MG in bringing a luxury brand to Australia
Honda won't bring in its premium Acura brand offered overseas to target a growing number of premium-pitched Chinese arrivals such as BYD's Denza and MG's IM Motors in Australia. Acura was established in 1986, three years before Toyota introduced Lexus and Nissan introduced Infiniti. It also preceded Mazda's Eunos, Efini, and aborted Amati brands. While Lexus remains on sale, Acura has never came to Australia. That's despite Infiniti being offered between 2012 and 2020 and Eunos being launched as a standalone brand here in 1992 before being folded into Mazda in 1996. Hyundai has since launched Genesis as a Lexus rival, but now Chinese car companies are getting in on the act with luxury brands of their own, including BYD's Denza due in Australia by the end of 2025. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Above: Acura Integra MG has also just launched premium vehicles, officially under the 'IM Presented by MG Motor' banner but sold within MG showrooms. The growth of premium brands hasn't prompted new Honda Australia CEO Jay Joseph, who took the reins in April 2025, to add Acura to that list. '[Bringing Acura] here would require substantial commitment of resources in developing a brand – you've got to have brand awareness before people shop,' Mr Joseph told CarExpert. 'Candidly, I think our priority should be on expanding the potential of Honda and making sure that we've done everything we can with the Honda brand before we would consider taking on an additional brand here in Australia.' Supplied Credit: CarExpert Above: First and second generations of Acura/Honda NSX The Acura name was applied to some key Honda models in the past, including the second-generation NSX – which was also manufactured in the US – and models such as the Integra sports car and Legend. All of these vehicles have been sold under the Honda name in Australia and other places, such as the United Kingdom (UK), but with Acura badges in North America. Likewise, Acura's MDX was sold here during its first generation as a Honda. Subsequent North American-built Acuras have been produced only in left-hand drive however, ruling them out for our market.'Acura has been in other markets over time – of course the States – and Acura is pretty solid in Canada as well,' Mr Joseph added. 'We have had Acura in China for a time, but that didn't work as we hoped it would – China is difficult because many of those products had to be imported from North America, and that's a challenge.' Acura launched its first electric vehicle (EV), the ZDX, in 2024. It shares a platform with General Motors vehicles such as the Cadillac Lyriq sold here. Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert Supplied Credit: CarExpert Above (clockwise from left): ADX, RDX, MDX, ZDX The lineup otherwise consists of a trio of petrol-powered crossover SUVs, as well as the Honda Civic-based Integra liftback. Acura recently swung the axe on its BMW 3 Series-rivalling TLX sedan. Following Japanese and Korean automakers' introductions of luxury brands, it's now Chinese brands getting into this space. BYD has Denza and Yangwang in China, while Geely has Zeekr in addition to foreign premium brands it has acquired like Volvo and GWM is planning an even more upscale brand to sit above its Wey marque. Chinese brands surged in Australia over the first half of 2025, with BYD becoming the first to break into the top five best sellers in June, with Denza expected to add to its growth when it launches later this year. Lexus, meanwhile, was 21st overall between January and June, trailing key rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz but ahead of Audi and Volvo. Honda is on track for its best full-year result since 2021 (17,562) if it can match its 8068 sales to the end of June, which equates to 16,136.

Why Hyundai's boss says it is doing a ‘terrible job'
Don't miss out on the headlines from On the Road. Followed categories will be added to My News. Hyundai's new Australian boss says the brand has 'ground to make up' after doing a 'terrible job' selling electric cars in Australia. Don Romano took over as Hyundai's Australian chief executive in March after a stint in Canada, where the brand has a strong share of electric vehicle sales. But in Australia, Hyundai's EV performance is less impressive. MORE: EVs embrace wireless charging Don Romano, chief executive for Hyundai Motor Company Australia. Picture: Supplied The critically acclaimed Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 duo attracted just over 500 combined sales in the first six months of the year, placing them well behind rivals such as the Tesla Model Y (10,431) and Model 3 (3715), BYD Sealion 7 (3756) and Seal (1609), Kia EV5 (2765), MG4 (2268), Geely EX5 (1845) and Polestar 4 (676). 'We have ground to make up,' Romano says. MORE: The problem buying cars in Australia 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 9. Picture: Supplied 'We do a terrible job with our EVs … we are not doing the job we should be. 'Our market share of electric vehicles is extremely low relative to our market share of total vehicles and the only explanation for that is that we haven't put enough focus on it because I can see other electric car companies that are … doing a much better job with their EVs than they do with their ICE [internal combustion engine vehicles]. 'We're the opposite.' MORE: US giant's huge move in Australia Romano believes Hyundai's previous managers made mistakes, including a decision to bypass the brand's dealer network to sell cars such as the Ioniq 5 directly to customers. 'We went around our dealers,' Romano says. 'So, we have a job to do to get our dealers back in the game and to let them know that no, we are going through our dealer body and that you are an important part of the distribution process.' Romano's experience in North America differs from Australia. In the US and Canada, General Motors has the largest EV share behind Tesla. But here, Chinese brands such as BYD have an enormous role to play in the market, making competition tough for Hyundai.

The Ioniq 5 SUV is about $15,000 more than BYD's Sealion 7, and the Ioniq 6 sedan starts $27,000 upstream from the equivalent BYD Seal. 'The real issue when you talk about competitiveness is probably when you look at Chinese EVs, and the question I'd have is 'how long can they sustain that low price' when we're all using the same materials and the same equipment?',' he says. 'Eventually, when you look at the same systems that are used to build these cars and the same equipment and the same material, eventually, it comes to an equilibrium where we're all having on the same cost factor that we're going to have to all live with. 2025 Tesla Model Y, BYD Sealion 7 and Volkswagen ID. 4 Pro. Picture: Mark Bean 'And then the pricing really just comes down to what it takes to distribute the cars and market the cars. So I don't think any change in our competitive pricing is something that is a long-term issue. I think we're going to ultimately all be in the same bandwidth on a car-by-car basis. 'I don't know how they do it other than, you know, I read the same things you do about government intervention and support … 'It's one big world that we all live in and we're all going to be living in the same economic environment, so whatever advantage one country has over another, and I've seen this happen in my 40 years, where it used to be cheaper to build in one country than another, and then suddenly it's just as expensive, I think that's ultimately going to happen. 'Whether that's in my lifetime or not, that I can't answer. But for right now it appears they have it.' Originally published as Why Hyundai's boss says it is doing a 'terrible job'

Suzuki Australia wants more diverse models, including sportier Swift
Suzuki Australia general manager Michael Pachota says he wants to fill the Swift Sport -shaped hole in the brand's local lineup, as well as bolster the wider range with different body styles and powertrains. The Swift Sport, based on the previous-generation hatch, has been out of production for Australia since revised safety regulations regarding autonomous emergency braking (AEB) came into effect earlier this year. There has been no word from Suzuki globally on on a new Swift Sport based on the new-generation mild-hybrid hatch, and Suzuki's local division says it's in the dark as well. 'We haven't been told anything at all. We get surprised from time to time by Suzuki Japan,' Mr Pachota told CarExpert. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. Above: Suzuki Swift Sport generations (L-R): First, second, third, and 2025 Swift Champions concept 'They're very confidential when it comes to their development, and we only get certain visions based on, for example, evolutions of product sometimes, other bits and pieces. Swift Sport is possibly a hot topic globally, I just await any news on it.' The Swift Sport is a simple vehicle in principle. Take an otherwise affordable, economical hatch, make it look a little tougher, fit a more potent engine, and keep prices attainable while you're at it. This was certainly the case for the outgoing third-generation Swift Sport. It featured a 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 103kW of power and 230Nm of torque, the option of a six-speed manual or automatic, and started at $29,990 before on-roads. This was only $200 pricier than the 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder found in the Swift GLX Turbo, which had just 82kW and 160Nm. At the bottom of the range was a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder with 66kW and 120Nm, priced from $23,490 before on-roads. Above: Current-generation Suzuki Swift Hybrid The current Swift Hybrid, meanwhile, features a 12V mild-hybrid system and a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine producing 61kW and 112Nm. It's not clear what could power a potential new Swift Sport, but Suzuki still offers small-displacement four-cylinder turbo engines available in other Suzukis such as the S-Cross, which can still be had with the warm hatch's 103kW/130Nm Boosterjet turbo-four. 'Just like you, we're sitting here waiting and hoping that there might be something there. But if there isn't, to be fair, the current product line is selling quite well, so I'm happy with it,' Mr Pachota told CarExpert. Suzuki's Indian subsidiary, Maruti Suzuki, did reveal the hotter-looking Swift Champions model earlier this year, but that wasn't much more than a concept. The Swift is Suzuki's second-best-selling model in Australia with 1935 delivered in the first half of 2025, while the Jimny is well ahead with 4365. Above: Suzuki Swift Champions concept Mr Pachota said he's keen for more than just a new Swift Sport though, telling CarExpert he'd be open to anything and everything from commercial vehicles and utes to different types of electric vehicle (EV). 'I have an appetite for anything else outside of my product portfolio. So anything that I can get to add to the Australian product lineup, both hands are up,' he said. 'Different segments, different opportunities, you know. And we're the small car specialists, so we kind of play in the same kind of area. But if there's growth as an opportunity, I'm all for it. 'The market globally is evolving all the time, so we're gonna evolve with it.'
