Question 1

Does the 2025 Santa Fe bring changes versus the new 2024 fifth generation?

Accepted Answer

The 2025 Santa Fe is the second year of the fifth generation (MX5), with equipment adjustments rather than a redesign. Hyundai standardizes previously optional content: the 360-degree surround-view monitor is included from Preferred, and BlueLink remote start via app is offered free for three years (versus one year on 2024). The PHEV returns for 2025 with an enlarged 16.3 kWh battery providing approximately 55 km of electric range — a meaningful gain over the prior generation's 47 km. The XRT receives an exclusive Cement Gray colour. The 2.5T at 277 hp and the 1.6T Hybrid are unchanged.

Question 2

Is the 2025 Santa Fe PHEV with its larger battery eligible for Canadian incentives?

Accepted Answer

The 2025 Santa Fe PHEV with 55 km of electric range qualifies for the federal iZEV PHEV credit of $2,500 (requires more than 50 km electric range). Quebec's Roulez vert program adds $4,000 for eligible PHEVs. Combined savings can reach $6,500. Caveat: the iZEV SUV MSRP cap is $65,000 — well-equipped Ultimate PHEV trims may exceed it. The Preferred PHEV AWD typically falls under the cap. Confirm eligibility with your dealer before finalizing the deal; thresholds are reviewed annually by Natural Resources Canada and are subject to change.

Question 3

How does the 55 km electric range of the 2025 Santa Fe PHEV hold up in a Quebec winter?

Accepted Answer

The 55 km WLTP electric range translates to approximately 38 to 48 km in real Quebec winter conditions depending on temperature. At -10 °C with cabin heating active, expect 38 to 42 km. At -20 °C, range can drop to 30 to 35 km. The 2025 Santa Fe PHEV includes a battery pre-heating system — activating charging before departure keeps the battery in its optimal temperature window and helps preserve electric range in cold weather. For a commuter driving less than 35 km daily in winter in the greater Montreal or Quebec City area, a majority of weekday trips can still be completed on electric power alone.
