Last year, the fifth generation of the Hyundai SANTA FE was selected as the “Supreme Winner” at the 2025 Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year (WWCOTY) Awards. The globally recognized WWCOTY (Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year) stands out as the only committee formed by women in the international automotive industry. Among the jury members consisting of automotive journalists, Ayça Çizer from Türkiye successfully represents our country.
The Women's World Car Awards jury consists of 55 automotive journalists from 82 countries across five continents. After detailed analysis and extensive testing, the Hyundai SANTA FE was also the winner of the large SUV category. The evaluation criteria and list of the basic qualities of the Hyundai SANTA FE, which was awarded in two separate categories by women, stand out as "Safety, Quality, Technology, Design, Driveability, Performance, Comfort, Efficiency, Environmental Impact and Value for Money". After its initial success in the first round, the Hyundai SANTA FE advanced to the final evaluation round for the general award stage, and 80 vehicles were included in the evaluation process.
Standing out with its extraordinary driving experience, interior flexibility, distinct design language and hybrid powertrain, the SANTA FE's spacious interior comfort was also emphasized by the jury as being "at the level of premium cars".
SANTA FE has also strengthened its status in all markets where it is sold, thanks to its impressive price-performance ratio and its wide range of talents in terms of safety, ease of use, practicality, performance, efficiency and refinement.
