Hyundai Santa Fe

The Hyundai SANTA FE wins the title of “Supreme Winner” at the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year Awards 2025.

The Hyundai Santa Fe has been named Best Car in the World 2025 by the jury of the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year (WWCOTY), an announcement coinciding with the celebrations of International Women’s Rights Day. This prestigious award is given by 82 automotive journalists from 55 countries, who meticulously evaluated 81 models before designating the winners in each category. Unlike some awards plagued by manufacturer lobbying, this award may currently be the most impartial one given, which adds significant value to it.

The winners are:

  • Urban Car: MINI Cooper
  • Compact SUV: KIA EV3
  • Large Sedan: Audi A6 e-tron
  • Large SUV: Hyundai Santa Fe
  • 4×4: Toyota Land Cruiser
  • Sports Car: Porsche Panamera

In the final phase, the finalists competed for the title of Best Car in the World 2025. Despite a close vote, the Hyundai Santa Fe won the votes thanks to its exceptional qualities.

“Choosing the Best Car in the World is an immense responsibility, taking into account the specifics of each market, driving styles, purchasing power, and consumer preferences, emphasizes Marta Garcia, executive president of WWCOTY. The winning vehicle must meet these needs and satisfy drivers worldwide.”

With its bold and innovative design, hybrid engines, and ability to transport up to seven passengers, the Hyundai Santa Fe impressed the jury. Ina Georgieva (Bulgaria) praises its comfort and maneuverability, even in snowy conditions, while Petrina Gentile (Canada) highlights its safety. Sara Soria (Spain) appreciates its value for money, and Tanya Gazdik (USA) applauds its practical details, such as the fold-flat third row.

Finally, Shahinaz Hussein (Egypt) describes the Santa Fe as a strategic evolution of the SUV segment, combining robust design, advanced technology, and modern comfort. Hyundai will soon receive the official trophy.
