Overall pleased with the Santa Fe Hybrid
Replaced a 2015 Chevy Traverse. Most everything about the car is positive, Hybrid drive is smoother that pure gas powered and worth the extra cost for that alone. However, it gets great economy, it will pay for itself using nearly any metric you give it. Got to test it in the recent snow storms and the Hybrid drive in Snow mode and 4 wheel lock didn't slip a wheel. For the most part, the advanced electronics are great. Unfortunately, the venicle was recently totaled when it was hit from the side. Only the airbags that were needed went off, no one was hurt, scratch, or even had any whiplash. So I think it is a very safe car also. We replaced it with a new Santa Fe Hybrid. We have two negatives: the Hyundai smart phone app is pretty close to poor. Customer service for the app is hugely back up and take weeks to reply, and then can't seem to fix it. The app is NOT a selling point. Second, and Hyundai can't seem to understand this item either is the built-in garage door opener only works when the ignition is turned on. I don't see how in the heck that got past the corporate lawyers, having the car running in a closed garage to get the door open, and leaving the car running when closing the door. We ust didn't bother programming it on the new car and use an old-fashioned garage door button clipped on the visor.
