A great vehicle, but gas mileage estimates are way off

I like the comfort and styling of the Santa Fe. The highest trim level has a luxury feel above the price tag. A lot of safety features are included and mostly work great, except the Forward Attention Warning (FAW) which gives false warnings when wearing glasses. Should be able to turn off FAW. My biggest complaint is the gas mileage. I do everything possible to get the best gas mileage, but I have at best gotten 2.5 mpg less than what was advertised. Gas mileage at speeds of 70 and above is especially bad. The internal computer also consistently gives incorrect gas mileage. I have tracked my actual mpg since I purchased the car and it is 3 mpg less than the computer states. Hyundai should be required to fix the computer calculated gas mileage and include more accurate mpg figures on the sticker.

If it wasn't for the headlights

Not as many features that we wanted and the ones it has we don't use. The warning system is crazy and goes off whenever it wants. For example, we'll start and while we're fastening our seat belts it'll warn us to take a break.

2025 Santa Fe

We love everything about the vehicle except for two things. 1) It has way too many buttons and switches; and 2) the computer consistently reads 10-15% higher than the actual miles per gallon that it gets.

We very much like our Santa Fe hybrid

The safety features are outstanding. They make me feel safe. Of course the gas mileage is a welcome relief from our previous car. Do wish the wipers had another speed.

Great size, gas millage, and value but a few small tech annoyances

What I like. • Great fuel economy: I drive very conservatively, never speed, and have an easy daily commute. Even so, I'm consistently averaging better than the EPA-rated 36 MPG, at least during my first year of ownership. • Roomy for a compact SUV: I love the center console design. The side-by-side phone storage and cup holders are far more practical than vertically stacked layouts, and the extra storage underneath is a great bonus. The second-row bench is surprisingly spacious. Even with two child seats installed side by side, another passenger can still sit comfortably next to them. The third row is also impressively roomy for such a compact SUV. My wife, kids, and I are all relatively slender and not very tall, and we feel very comfortable in this vehicle. Accessing the third row isn't always the easiest, but it works well for a family of seven. • Technology and interior controls:** The dual 12-inch screens are excellent. Having one dedicated to the instrument cluster and the other for navigation, music, and vehicle settings makes everything easy to see and use. I also appreciate that Hyundai kept physical controls for important functions like climate control, volume, and hazard lights. It strikes a great balance between touchscreen functionality and traditional buttons. The interface itself is intuitive and easy to navigate, and I like that Hyundai offers both free and paid display themes along with some customization options. While I'd love to see even more personalization features added in future updates, I end up using Android Auto most of the time anyway. What I Don't Like • Limited cargo space with all seven seats in use: When all seven seats are occupied, cargo space is understandably limited. You can fit a small stroller—or even a double stroller—plus a few small bags, but that's about it. That said, I don't use the cargo storage all that much and when I do I find a way, perhaps the kids are not with my when I make a big grocery run and it's probably still among the best in its class for a compact three-row SUV. If you need significantly more cargo room, you'll likely have to move up to the Palisade, though fuel economy won't be as good as the Santa Fe. If you are traveling somewhere far like a vacation trip, perhaps one of those storage containers on top or a small trailer. • Over-the-air updates can be frustrating: On one hand, I really appreciate the over-the-air updates because they continue to add useful features and improvements. However, the update process itself is annoying. Ideally, I'd like to park the car, get out, and let the update finish on its own. Instead, if you exit the vehicle before the process is complete, then it just cancels and never finishes. This means the next time you get in the car it will prompt you about the update again and if you want it to go through then you need to turn the car off and sit in the car waiting for it (approximately 2-5 minutes). Yes the updates are not long, and easy to apply, but still annoying to have to sit through. • Power-folding mirrors: I like having folding mirrors, but my single biggest complaint is that I wish they only unfolded when the engine starts. Right now, they unfold whenever you approach the vehicle with your phone or key fob. This becomes especially annoying in a garage or tight parking space because the mirror can open directly into your walking path. At home, it's frustrating when unloading groceries—the mirrors constantly fold when you walk away and unfold again when you return. If Hyundai could address this with an over-the-air update, it would significantly improve my overall experience with the vehicle. • Recalls and long-term reliability concerns: I like that Hyundai is constantly introducing new car designs and features, but it sometimes feels like they may be moving a bit too fast. In the first year alone, I’ve noticed several recalls across different models, including at least one affecting the Santa Fe related to the seat belt system. While recalls are not unusual in the industry, the frequency does raise some concern about long-term quality control and safety consistency.

2025 Santa FE review

I used my 2025 Santa Fe periodically for first year. From May 2025 to May 2026, I put only 3k miles on it. But second year I took couple of trips to LA and Las Vegas. Then issues started. First the 24V battery got drained 100% for no apparent reason. Then I got User Authentication Error, then the battery charger pad stopped charging my phone. So, the car is in the dealership more than my house since May 2026. I cannot plan my summer trips and no longer I trust the car to make any long distance travel.

The vehicle is great, service, not so much.

Have a problem dealing with local dealerships. They are way overwhelmed by the amount of cars that they need to deal with and can't handle the capacity. It is all of them from Ft Myers to Plantation, and likely the rest of them. They just cannot handle the volume that they deal with.

This has been the best vehicle I have ever owned! I've owned Pontiacs, Plymouths, Audis, Hondas, Mazdas, Nissans, and Toyotas. They just do not compare to my Santa Fe!

no resolution

I have had an issue with my car from the very beginning and the dealership says that Hyundai has not provided a solution for the problem. under the back passeger seat there is hot air that blows and you cannot stop it from blowing hot air. IN the summertime, this is a bad situation. I have taken the car back to the dealer after I had the car 1 year and still no answer when the car can be fixed.

Overall Satisfied

The vehicle is stylish and comfortable. I’ve had 2 recalls and one seatbelt repair that was not a recall. It’s now giving me intermittent tire pressure monitoring system warnings that are a bit concerning. I took it in to have it checked and was told the warning was reset and air pressure checked, and to call if it happens again. Not very reassuring, in my opinion, that the issue was addressed.

Low parts quality, lower customer service at dealer

I have had to take my vehicle to the dealership for a plethora of issues every month this year with the problems still unresolved. The techs at the dealership have the misconception that just because the problem does not occur while the vehicle is in their possession it does not exist even when I try to show them the problems myself. It is extremely infuriating not being listened to and to have to take my vehicle in at least three times before they “locate” the issue. Then the parts needed are never in stock which means that I have to take yet another day to take my car in

Hyundai did their homework on the Santa Fe. Great ride, handling, tech and much better mileage with the Hybrid.
