Hyundai’s all-new SANTA FE has gained significant recognition, being named Car of the Year in the 2025 Carwow Awards, in addition to receiving the Family Values award. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 N was also honored as Carwow’s Tech Trailblazer.
Hyundai’s overall quality led to it being named Brand of the Year, with Carwow’s editorial team selecting award winners based on price, performance, efficiency, comfort, and practicality.
Mat Watson, Carwow’s Chief Content Officer, praised Hyundai for building stylish, desirable cars that offer great value and advanced technology. He highlighted the SANTA FE as a fantastic family car thanks to its spacious interior and practical features, available with two efficient Hybrid powertrains and one Plug-in Hybrid option. Prices start at £46,775, with the SANTA FE recently winning multiple awards, including Best Hybrid Seven-seater.
The high-performance IONIQ 5 N, starting at £65,000, combines cutting-edge electric technology with a fun driving experience, achieving 0-62 mph in just 3.4 seconds. It features innovative elements like N e-shift, simulating traditional gear shifts, and N Active Sound+ for an engaging driving soundtrack.
