The 2025 Hyundai SANTA FE is a compact three-row SUV with ample room and spirited performance. With your choice of drivetrain, this family-friendly ride can power all your adventures.

Turbocharged Performance

Each 2025 SANTA FE trim level is powered by a spirited 2.5L inline-4 turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The system generates 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, so you can confidently conquer all terrains. With the transmission’s SHIFTRONIC capability and selectable drive modes, you can adjust the power output to suit various driving conditions or your driving style.

Two Drivetrain Options

Whether you’re looking for max fuel economy or enhanced off-road prowess, the SANTA FE can be customized to suit your needs. Front-wheel drive is standard, optimizing this ride for daily commutes and road trips. This system delivers EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 20 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. Hyundai’s advanced HTRAC AWD system is available across the lineup, providing road-gripping traction on slippery surfaces.

Massive Towing Power

With a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds with the trailer brakes, this adventurous compact SUV can easily pull your small RV, dirt bike, or boat. For easy hitching and towing, this ride comes standard with a trailer pre-wire connection and trailer sway control.

Family-Friendly Design

Inside, the spacious cabin has standard seats for seven with a generous 42.3 inches of legroom in the second row. Behind the rear seats, 14.6 cubic feet of cargo volume provides room for daily items and groceries. Both rear rows have a split-folding design that allows for a wide range of passenger and cargo combinations.

Stain-resistant cloth seating surfaces keep the cabin easy to clean, while a hands-free smart liftgate is standard across the lineup, providing easy cargo access when your hands are full.

Smart Technologies

An advanced 12.3-inch infotainment system with SiriusXM and HD Radio technology allows you to blast music through the cabin to keep your crew entertained. If your passengers want to rest, you can simply activate the rear seat quiet mode, which is standard on all trims.

You can also pair your Android Auto or Apple CarPlay-compatible device to use your favorite apps or navigation directly on the center touchscreen. On select trims, advanced features, such as Hyundai Pay, bring further convenience.

Advanced Driver Assistance

The SmartSense suite of driver assistance technologies can keep you nearly worry-free on the road. Standard features include blind-spot collision warning and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assistance to help you detect vehicles and obstacles in your blind spots. Front and rear parking distance warning also improves maneuverability in crowded or tight places.

You can try all these features and more during a test drive at our dealership. Contact us at Alexander Hyundai of Oxnard in Oxnard, CA, to schedule yours.

The annual Oxnard California Strawberry Festival is back in 2023, after a two-year hiatus. We’re berry glad to hear of its return, and we hope to see you there. Here’s a little information about when, where, and what if you’re planning on attending.

When and where is the 2023 California Strawberry Festival?

The festival runs for two days from May 20-21, 2023. This year the festival will take place in a brand new location, the Ventura County Fairgrounds. There will be onsite parking and a free shuttle service for festival attendants’ convenience. Since the new location is close to the Amtrak station, you can take the shuttle with no worries of finding a good parking place!

What is the 2023 California Strawberry Festival?

The Strawberry Festival is one of the most popular festivals in the country. Something unique and wonderful about the festival is how much it benefits the local community. According to the California Strawberry Festival website, it’s raised more than $4,500,000 benefitting local causes and charities. 

What fun activities can visitors enjoy at the California Strawberry Festival?

There is no short answer for this question, as there is something for everyone at the festival! Below are just some of what you can do at the California Strawberry Festival:

• Taste a huge assortment of delicious foods. There will be over forty food vendors at the festival, as well as opportunities to build your own shortcake and try out strawberry beer and strawberry nachos!
• Pie someone in the face. The Strawberry Tart Toss allows you to throw a pie at the unfortunate person you choose. That’s not something you get the opportunity to do often, just saying…
• Listen to live music. Enjoy live Pop, Cumbia/Tropical, Rock, Reggae, Soul, Latin, Caribbean, Funk, R&B, Salsa, and Country music, as well as Taiko drummers throughout the festival on two different stages. That means you can dance off all the calories from the desserts you eat, and leave guilt-free, right?
• Watch a puppet or magic show. The Jest in Time stage serves up family and kid-friendly entertainment throughout the day, so everyone has some fun.
• Enjoy carnival rides and inflatables. Young or old or somewhere in between, there’s a ride for you. The Kid Care Zone makes it easier for parents to enjoy the festival, too, with a nursing station and a baby changing station.
• Shop a wide assortment of arts and crafts. The California Strawberry Festival website tells us over 200 artists and crafters from all around the country offer one-of-a-kind art and crafts for sale throughout the festival.
• Train to be a ninja. Yes, that’s right, the Ninja Obstacle Course is available for both kids and adults to test their abilities and potential as ninjas…or, at least, ninja hobbyists.

For more information about this event, make sure you visit the official festival website. Oh, and while you’re waiting anxiously for this festival to begin (like we are), here’s how to make great, syrupy strawberries for strawberry shortcake, biscuits, or waffles:

Sweet Syrupy Sliced Strawberries:
Slice a carton of fresh, thoroughly washed strawberries and place in a bowl (make sure the bowl is leaves room to stir). Add white, granulated sugar and orange or lemon juice to taste. Stir well (gently). Store the strawberries overnight, or at least a few hours, in a mason jar or other sealed container in the refrigerator. And that’s it! Bon appetit!
