In this article, we will detail what you can expect on and inside a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy and things like pricing and value, so please stay tuned. If you have ever wanted to make the hybrid switch or upgrade in Santa Fe trim, this is the time to do it.
What's New for 2025?
Because we just had the complete redesign of the Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid last year in 2024, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy sees minimal updates. However, that is not bad because last year, you got an entirely new and improved SUV. One change to note in 2025 is a new exterior color, Atlantis Blue, which is nice for people wanting to try something different. Outside of that, you still have luxury features like standard 20-inch wheels, leather seats, a new 12.3-inch center touchscreen, Bose audio, and so on.
Exterior Design and Features
The exterior design and features of the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy trim will continue to look sleeker than ever. For this model release, your SUV keeps its H-style lights and accents, as well as things like standard:
- 20-inch (dark finish) alloy wheels
- LED headlights and accents
- LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
- Body-color side mirrors (black arm)
- Power-folding side mirrors
- Heated side mirrors
- Roof antenna, shark-fin
- Black Anodized "H" logo and "SANTA FE" badging
- Hands-free smart liftgate with auto open and adjustable height setting
- Roof rails
- C-pillar assist handle
With the newest Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid generation, you also see a much larger SUV. This means better cargo, passenger volume, and leg/arm/shoulder space across its rows.
Interior Comfort and Luxury
In the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy, luxury and comfort are top priorities. Considering this is the top trim available for the Santa Fe Hybrid, you can expect bells and whistles from the front to back row. The Calligraphy has six seats compared to the other trims, having seven, so that is one thing we want you to remember.
Here are some standard features inside the Calligraphy Hybrid:
- Seating up to six
- Nappa leather seating surfaces
- 8-way power driver seat/4-way power lumbar
- 6-way power passenger seat
- Heated front and rear seating
- Ventilated front seats

Seating and Upholstery
The seats inside the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy are more comfortable than ever before. You can expect standard Nappa leather seats across the front and rear rows, plus an Integrated Memory System (IMS) for the driver seat and heating/ventilation. This hybrid SUV has three rows, and in the Calligraphy, you get upgraded to 2nd-row captain's chairs. The other trims get a 2nd-row bench seat. Seat capacity tops off at six people in this specific trim.
Cabin Space and Layout
If you are inside the all-new Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy, you will notice plenty of wiggle room wherever you sit. As we said, this redesign has a longer wheelbase, allowing more space for you and your stuff. The layout will be three rows, with the Calligraphy trim getting captain's chairs in the second row instead of bench seats. This helps create a more "open air" effect.
- Headroom (front/2nd row/3rd row): 40.2 / 39.6 / 37.7 inches
- Legroom (front/2nd row/3rd row): 44.4 / 41.5 / 30.0 inches
