Hyundai's new SANTA FE wins Car of the Year at 2025 Carwow Awards

Hyundai’s all-new SANTA FE has achieved significant success, being crowned Car of the Year at the 2025 Carwow Awards.

The SUV also received the Family Values award from the online marketplace, while the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N continued its impressive run by being named Carwow’s Tech Trailblazer. The quality and depth of Hyundai’s product range were further acknowledged as the company was named Brand of the Year.

Carwow’s awards are decided by its editorial team, who select their top choices from hundreds of cars reviewed annually, based on price, performance, efficiency, comfort, and practicality.

Leading the way for the judges was the latest addition to the Hyundai line-up, the all-new SANTA FE. Despite being on sale for only a few months, it added Carwow’s Car of the Year title to several other awards, including Best Hybrid Seven-seater from WhatCar? and Large ICE Car of the Year from the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers.
