Compare 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe vs 2025 Hyundai Palisade

Performance

While both models bring solid performance to the table, they're designed to serve slightly different priorities. The newly redesigned 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe offers two engine choices:

• A turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 277 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission
• A hybrid setup combining a turbo engine and electric motor for a total output of 231 horsepower and enhanced fuel efficiency, using a 6-speed automatic

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade, on the other hand, comes with a single but powerful engine:

• A 3.8-liter V6 producing 291 horsepower, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission

Both SUVs can be equipped with either front-wheel drive or Hyundai's HTRAC all-wheel drive system, giving you solid performance year-round in Springfield, PA. If towing power and a traditional V6 appeal to you, the Palisade may be the better fit. Prefer better MPG and a hybrid option? The Santa Fe stands out for eco-conscious drivers.

Appearance

Each SUV brings a bold presence, but they cater to different aesthetics. The 2025 Santa Fe features a boxy, futuristic exterior with a wide LED light bar stretching across the front, squared-off body lines, and a compact yet eye-catching profile.

In contrast, the 2025 Palisade is a more refined, upscale midsize SUV. It's larger in size, with a bold cascading grille, vertically stacked LED headlights, and flowing side contours that create a premium, luxurious look. On Springfield roads, the Santa Fe turns heads with its modern edge, while the Palisade draws attention with its elegant, commanding presence.

Features

Step inside, and both SUVs offer a premium driving experience packed with modern conveniences and tech. The 2025 Santa Fe includes:

• Dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays and a Bose® premium audio system
• Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, along with dual wireless charging pads
• Heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and available power-folding captain's chairs
• Smart safety tech like Highway Driving Assist, blind-spot view monitor, and parking collision avoidance

The Palisade shares many of these features but elevates comfort with upscale touches, including:

• A full-color head-up display and a digital rearview mirror
• Remote Smart Parking Assist for easier maneuvering
• More spacious third-row seating and increased cargo capacity, perfect for growing families or road trips

Both SUVs provide cutting-edge features Springfield families will appreciate. The Santa Fe leans more toward high-tech innovation and efficiency, while the Palisade offers a more luxurious ride with added room for everyone.
