Family of 4 (w/ small children)

We have mixed reviews. We love the stylishness, the ride, storage space and the gas mileage. We don't love the passenger space for families with car seats. My 2 year old always had his feet up against the passenger side seat or the passenger is pushed forward and upright to avoid squishing him. My infants car seat fits snug against the driver seat when I'm driving. (I'm 5'10). The back seat is useless to me because I can't get back there without removing car seats and bases. Also, getting into the back seat requires you to climb over the middle seat like you have to in a coupe. It would be great if the seat would flip up against the front seats and allow a passenger better access to the rear. Finally, Our car dies if it isn't driven on a regular basis. Hyundai service center told me that if I don't drive the car every few days then the car battery will die due to its small capacity. Therefore never leave the car at the airport for vacation or you'll be stranded or needing to jump it on return. One other wish list... a removal middle console. With 2 small children my wife has had to hop over the console on many occasions to calm a screaming child. Luckily my wife is short and agile.

Some what satisfied

The vehicle is barely alright. The cruise control is horrendous, hate it. The attempt at “auto steer” is very erratic.

Sante Fe

Have had sensor issues. Because we live on a gravel road, it throws the sensors off I believe they should be better protected from the elements on the inside of the back bumper. We’ve never had any issues with any other vehicle.

great

great car. wish it had a little more engine power as when you try to go it lags even with the turbo. space is great as i prefer bench seats. trunk space is great. wish it came with roof rails already. they should update owners that over the air updates void the warranty on the electronic package so only negative

Roomy and stylish

We purchased this car for its internal space and we are not disappointed! Spacious and roomy enough for 6 adults or 4 adults and two car seats. The controls are well positioned and easy to operate and the app is a great feature. I use the automatic start ALL THE TIME in the summer here in NC. The only negative is the tires. We had to replace one because of defective belts that caused so much shaking and shimmying. Honestly they all should have been done but dealer didn’t see any issue however car still shakes (although not as much). Online searches show this tire to have reported issues, and my husband just had to replace his tires (different car brand and model) but same brand of tire. Hyundai should reevaluate this partner as it is now big expense to replace tires on a year old car. Overall the car is amazing. Good gas mileage on the hybrid version and it looks good too!

Solid Vehicle

Overall a very good choice. We also have a 2022 Santa Fe Hybrid and the addition of the third row was key factor in our decision to buy. The elimination of the loud beeping noise when in reverse on the 2022 was a great improvement. The ability to drive the car without seat belt fastened is a nice convenience when simply moving the car a short distance. Entertainment system is nice but the inability to use your iPhone app while listening to music is very annoying. .

The Everyman's car

The size is perfect, the accessories simple and reliable. But there should be a spare tire. The Tire Mobility kit is useless for blowouts and sidewall leaks.

Not a safe vehicle to drive

In less than one year, the vehicle dashboard started giving warning that the driver assistance system is malfunctioning. After going to the dealer to get it fixed multiple times, they have not able to resolve the issue. Even after opening a case with Hyundai, the problem still persists. The problem happens intermittently but when it happens, the turn signals, tailgate hatch, Auto Hold does not work. Once it put the car in Park mode automatically when it happened. It does not feel safe to drive the car and I plan to sell it. This was my first Hyundai and will be the last.
