2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid: Off-Road Ready with New XRT Adventure and Peak Packs
Hyundai Australia has introduced an exciting off-road makeover for the new 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid SUV with the release of two XRT option packs. These dealer-fitted accessory packs bring enhanced off-road capabilities to the popular family SUV, making it more versatile and adventure-ready. Unlike the US version, these packs are available for both newly-ordered and already-delivered models, allowing owners to upgrade their vehicle at any stage.
Off-Road Focused Enhancements
Both the XRT Adventure and XRT Peak option packs go beyond cosmetic upgrades, offering real off-road performance improvements. Key features include:
- 17-inch black alloy wheels (replacing the standard 20-inch wheels)
- Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus tyres with tyre pressure monitoring sensors
- Off-road suspension kit, which raises the vehicle by 30mm using new springs, struts, and hubs.
This suspension lift, combined with the all-terrain tyres, significantly improves the Santa Fe's off-road handling and durability, giving drivers more confidence when tackling challenging terrains.
XRT Adventure Pack: Rugged Essentials
Priced at $6,990, the XRT Adventure Option Pack offers a well-rounded set of upgrades for drivers looking to get off the beaten path. In addition to the wheels, tyres, and suspension enhancements, this pack includes:
- Black polyurethane plastic mud flaps
- An underbody skid plate for added protection on rough trails
XRT Peak Pack: Full Off-Road Package
For $9,990, the XRT Peak Option Pack builds on the Adventure pack with even more robust features, but it’s only available for all-wheel-drive models. The Peak package adds:
- Integrated black side steps with a 200kg maximum load capacity
- Roof racks with an 80kg load rating (Hyundai hasn't confirmed if the rating is static or dynamic)
- A roof platform for additional cargo
- Dark-tinted window weathershields and a dark-tinted bonnet protector
These upgrades make the XRT Peak ideal for families who want to carry outdoor gear like bikes, kayaks, or camping equipment on their adventures.
No Drivetrain Changes
Despite the off-road upgrades, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid retains its standard powertrain. This includes the 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 172kW. While the hybrid system remains unchanged, the XRT packs ensure the vehicle is more than capable of handling rougher terrain.
Price and Availability
The XRT packs are available now through Hyundai Australia dealerships. Prices for the Santa Fe Hybrid start from $55,500 to $75,000 plus on-road costs, with the XRT Adventure and XRT Peak packs priced at $6,990 and $9,990, respectively. These prices include the cost of installation, offering a hassle-free upgrade for buyers.
While the Australian XRT packs differ slightly from the US version – featuring smaller 17-inch wheels (vs. 18-inch in the US) and lacking leather seat embossing – the locally offered packs are designed for serious off-road performance.
Final Thoughts
Hyundai’s new XRT option packs turn the 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid into an adventure-ready family SUV, giving buyers more freedom to explore off-road without compromising on the vehicle’s hybrid efficiency. Whether you choose the Adventure or Peak pack, these upgrades are perfect for families seeking a blend of comfort, capability, and eco-friendliness in their next SUV.
