2025 Santa Fe vs Grand Highlander vs Atlas

Distinctive exterior
Its squared-off angles and signature H-shaped lights give it a rugged, yet sophisticated, look that sets it apart from the sea of anonymous family crossovers

Near-luxury interior
The cabin elevates the experience with high-quality materials and a thoughtful design that punches above its weight class. For example, the top-tier Calligraphy trim features Nappa leather, while the overall fit and finish feel more expensive than its price tag suggests.

Advanced displays
Lower trims come standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and higher trims offer a seamlessly integrated dual-12.3-inch panoramic display for both the infotainment and gauge cluster. The Atlas has a smaller 12-inch screen on most trims, and the standard Grand Highlander screen is 8 inches.

Convenience from the start
All Santa Fe trims include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a hands-free power tailgate. This saves you money on features that cost extra on some rivals.

Thoughtful features
The Santa Fe includes innovations like a UVC sterilization compartment for sanitizing small items, and an available bi-directional center console that can be opened by both front and rear passengers.

Efficient and smooth
The Santa Fe Hybrid is notably efficient, but its use of a six-speed automatic transmission avoids the "rubber band" effect common with the Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) found in many Toyota hybrids.

Off-road capability with efficiency
The rugged XRT trim offers standard all-wheel-drive, increased ground clearance, and a higher towing capacity than other trims, making it a capable companion for adventures while still delivering strong efficiency numbers.

America's Best Warranty
The Santa Fe includes a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, which significantly outpaces the coverage from Toyota and Volkswagen.

Complimentary maintenance
You also get three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance, further reducing your ownership costs.
