A good (but not great) SUV
The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe is roomy and comfortable, but it has a few quirks that keep it from being the vehicle I had hoped it would be. It has good, but not great acceleration and a good stable ride. The shifts from the six speed automatic can be very rough or choppy, especially when the car is cold. The automatic hatchback release does not always open when I need it to, but often opens when I walk by my vehicle to get to the driver's door. The built in phone charging cradles are very slow charging (low wattage). I am 6'4" tall, and the seating is very comfortable with plenty of leg and passenger room. The navigation system is easy to use and pretty spot-on. I love the fact that it has the audible warnings as well as the cameras to make sure i dont accidentally hit something that I didn't see.
