This is the old Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe comparison for 2024, With the release of the new Santa Fe it is time to compare the old and new model to see if the new one is indeed automotive progress. So how do the old and new Hyundai Santa Fe compare?
Old Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe exterior comparison: The new Santa Fe may or may not show Hyundai’s new corporate design language, namely its no longer has one! That said the regular car range still has a consistant edgy design but the SUV range is all over the place. The new Santa Fe is yet another design that fits in the range but possibly indicates the styling direction for the next Hyundai design language. We don’t think so since the Palisade is yet another completely different design. In the end the new design looks great from a distance but as per usual the sheet metal and paint job don’t look as great close up. Regardless the new Santa Fe still looks like the a updated version of the old Ford Flex SUV 10 years ago. In fact we thought it was finally being released. The old Santa Fe was an anonymous design is the best description.
Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe interior comparison: The new Santa Fe is a new design that inspired by other brands, in particular older Range Rover and Volvo right down to the steering wheel except for the dual screens instruments of course! . The quality of materials is pretty good but not exactly at the same level as higher end brands regardless of model grade. Those who don’t know about those past models it will impress – for the price. The older Santa Fe interior was like the exterior at the time in being anonymous.
Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe engine and technology comparison: The new Santa Fe has the same Hybrid engine throughout the range and its pretty good. It makes enough power and performance for Santa Fe’s expected duties except for any real off road travels or towing. There are no interesting features we can point out at this stage. The old Santa Fe was its self a revamp of the older model and so has a range of engine options including the self igniting petrol, turbo petrol and turbo diesel options.
Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe drive report : N/A
The conclusion and winner of the Old Hyundai Santa Fe Vs New 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe comparison is the new Santa Fe of course. The explanation is short and simple. The new design inside and outside along with the hybrid engines simply outclasses the old Santa Fe. It no longer looks like just another large SUV on sale at the moment and at the time of this comparison. Sure the steel metal looks thin up close and arguably cheapish plastics
