Its ok but some stuff needs work.

Good drive-ability. Engine is noisy. Heater is poor. Good thing they included seat warmers. Some of the software needs improvement. It is clumsy sometimes when starting to move. The radio/media/navigation device is not good even after multiple software updates. I have gotten the same recall notice 4 times although I have had it in for this recall at least four times and each time the dealers said it was done. I even called Hyundai to ask that they stop notifying me, was told they would. Nope. My vehicle doesn't even have the trailer hitch but Hyundai doesn't know that? The emergency crash avoidance system reacts sometimes to no real danger but better to err on the safe side I guess. The solution to a flat tire is comical. It doesn't work ( the wrecker driver laughed and said that it rarely does), and what's more none of the dealers carry the fix a flat stuff that should be replaced when they repair the tire. So i am driving it with no solution for a flat tire. I guess you guys will be towing it again if I have another flat. And the dealer lied to me and told me that the flat stuff damaged the sensor. They tried to bill me $300 for parts and labor to replace a $30 part, until I showed them the instructions in the owners manual describing how to use it. And pointed out the stuff was supplied by Hyundai with a new car. Nice try Chantilly Hyundai. Guess who will never see my car again? Have a procedure for a flat tire that the dealer must follow and make sure they carry the stuff. Please give me back a spare and a jack. Does anyone know if a spare from an old Santa-Fe will fit?

Overall good with a few annoying features

Quiet, comfortable, good tech overall, right sized for my family of three. Some annoying features are detailed below. Safety features are pretty good. Tech features and entertainment are mostly good.

Tech is slow

When changing gears you have to make sure it changes. The push button is sluggish. The tech is so slow. Car locks and unlocks and locks again. When you are close with the fob. So annoying Nice lane change safety features

Really 4.8 but I rounded up. Nice driving, smooth ride

Navigation is mediocre, not interactive ... I use Waze on my phone ... Had to change out radio/media screen thru dealership ... but mechanically sound, way prettier than new model & I would buy it again.

Quiet, smooth, great fuel economy

For its price, it's a great combination of quiet, smooth, practical, and comfortable. The transmission is frustrating and jerky. Interior quality is really good as are features and usability. Factory warranty was a really big factor in choosing this over other competitors

Hybrid version is an excellent all purpose vehicle

I have the base turbo hybrid model. It comes standard with a comprehensive set of features including driver assist safety equipment and navigation. Acceleration is much better than most hybrids. I like that it is the size of a 3 row SUV but with only 2 rows so there is ample back seat and cargo room.

Very comfortable, quiet, fun-to-drive vehicle, with great technology.

Aside from review title above, biggest disappointment is the 1-2 second delay experienced when stepping on gas pedal immediately after a stop. This appears to be a characteristic of the hybrid model, and others have reported it online. Dealer says it is normal operation, but my experience with other hybrid auto brands indicates this is only Hyundai/Kia hybrid characteristic.

Classy and Comfortable

This is my first Hybrid and my first Hyundai. The car has been great so far. We’ve taken it on long trips and plenty of city driving as well. It feels like a more expensive car than it is. The ride is quiet and smooth, especially when the engine transitions from EV to engine mode. Passengers in the rear seats have loved the large moonroof. Overall I am very pleased with my Santa Fe.

Better than we ever thought it would be

Enjoying everything about our 18 month old Santa Fe Limited. It's got luxury features and sophisticated, useful technology. The ride is more like a large sedan than like an SUV and we love that. We never thought we'd be using it for long trips in favor of our Lexus sedan, but it is more comfortable for lengthy and days long trips.

should of bought another Toyota Van

I thought it would get a lot better mileage for a hybrid. The dealer didn;thave a body shop so had to send my problem 80 miles away to another dealer. Car was gone for five days. It still wasn't fixed so I wookit to another dealer and they finally got the door fixed from catching.

Excellent SUV

Excellent SUV, with incredible power on mountain hills. Plenty of room for 8' 2x4's, large packages, vacation luggage, etc.. We get about 35 mpg in town with our hybrid, which is nice for this size vehicle.

Incredibly quiet, comfortable and safe..

We really do like our 2023 Santa Fe Hybrid it’s been superb and a trusty friend to my family. Mileage and features have been excellent, rides extremely well even with heavy loads of at least 200-400 lbs and handles beautifully in any weather especially heavy torrential rain. I hit a brick wall of 8” water at almost 50 MPH in the last storms we had dropping my speed to almost nothing in a few seconds, the Santa Fe stayed absolutely straight zero hydroplaning and got me out of a massive pool safe and sound, zero issues of any kind.. It’s a great car, I was actually looking for a Highlander hybrid but nothing was available and the dealer was no help. I have absolutely no regrets that we ended up with the Santa Fe, I’m thinking I might be better than the Highlander..at least for us anyway..
