Hyundai has introduced new off-road packages for the 2025 Santa Fe in Australia, giving the family SUV a rugged makeover. The XRT option packs include all-terrain tires, black alloy wheels, and a lifted suspension for improved off-road performance. These dealer-fit accessory packs are available for both newly-ordered and already-delivered Santa Fe SUVs.
In addition to the styling upgrades, the XRT Adventure Option Pack, priced at $6990, includes black polyurethane plastic mud flaps and an underbody skid plate. On the other hand, the $9990 XRT Peak Option Pack, exclusive to all-wheel-drive models, adds integrated black side steps, roof racks, and a roof platform. Both packs come with dark-tinted window weathershields and a bonnet protector.
The Australian version of the Santa Fe XRT differs from the US-market models by riding on 17-inch black alloy wheels, lacking dark chrome exterior trim, and leather seat embossing. Despite the off-road enhancements, there are no changes to the hybrid drivetrain, which combines a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor for a total output of 172kW.
The prices for the Santa Fe range, excluding the XRT option packs, range from $55,500 to $75,000 plus on-road costs. The listed prices on the Hyundai Australia website include the cost of fitment. It is important to note that the roof rack load ratings for the XRT Peak pack are not specified as static or dynamic.
