Good Car, Bad Tires and Annoying Features

I bought the Limited version of the Hyundai Santa Fe at the end of November 2025. Overall, I like the car—it’s comfortable, looks great, and drives well. Unfortunately, the tire quality has been very disappointing. After only about 1,000 miles, by mid-February 2026, two tires on the left side developed bubbles on the sidewalls. This is very concerning for such a new vehicle. The dealer and tire manufacturer both refused to cover the issue, so I had to replace all four tires out of pocket, which was an unexpected expense. After doing some research, I found that other Santa Fe owners have reported similar problems with the original tires, so this doesn’t seem like an isolated case. I still like the car, but this issue—and the lack of support—definitely hurt my overall experience. I’d recommend keeping a close eye on the tires or considering replacing them early.

My wife took my car!!!

I wanted a new hybrid to drive back and forth to work. My wife took it and I’m driving her (now old) non hybrid vehicle. LOL she did warn me before the purchase this might happen. She loves the car.

happy Hyundai owner

No problems, except the car start battery ran down after one week and I had to charge the battery before the car would start and the doors would open or lock. There have been no problems since.

Our 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid Review

Wow- small engine but very quick acceleration. Very quiet with little road noise. Very comfortable interior and comfortably holds 7. The electronics are amazing and is very close to being self driving. Overall a great road trip or in city car, camera systems are outstanding and parking is very easy. Highly recommended for everyone. Dual mag charging station is an absolute must!! Once you have it you can’t live without it.

Defective Air flap

Two months after purchase, the check engine light came on for defective air intake flap, dealer refuse to fix it under warranty because of invisible scratch only seen by their by technician. A month later, right fender molden detached by itself while I was driving on highway. Last week, a safety recall, It looks like this vehicle is poorly made. not a good experience so far

Santa Fe Hybrid

Is overall just a little better than previously owned similar model. Some aspects are more refined and better but others do require better design and has some quirks that could be improved.

After 4 months...

My Santa Fe has everything I wanted and quite a bit I didn't need. The NUMEROUS touch screen controls are a minor distraction, taking some time to locate when needed. It came equipped with 2 roof cross bars (side to side) in addition to the fore and aft bars. One of the end caps of the cross bars is missing, having fallen off or been removed by someone whose end cap had also gone missing, a bit disappointing in either case. Gas mileage has been excellent, sometimes getting over 42 mpg on my 19 mile commute to and from the golf course. I wish the front side windows had the same tint as do the rear windows, something I may have done in the future. The sensation of the car trying to steer itself is an unusual feeling... I think I overpaid for this car, I should have shopped a little longer, my problem, not the car's . When starting the engine, you need only push the start button once and quickly. Pushing and holding, like you're waiting to hear the engine, locks up the system, taking some time to reboot.

Comfortable and fuel efficient.

The 2026 Hyundai Sante Fe Hybrid is a nice family vehicle, comfortable and fuel efficient. It makes family road trips very enjoyable and stress free will all the focus on the road. It has very nice features: speed limit on the road turn by turn, line deviation, vehicles approaching in the dead angles. And a very high mile per gallon.

I love the car the ride and comfort the problem seatbelt connection

I love the car the ride and comfort the problem seatbelt connection is much too low between the seat and console its very difficult to lock in. Also, the electronics takes a while to adjust.

No regrets

I was anxious about making the switch from a Hyundai Elantra Hybrid to a Santa Fe but after driving it a seeing all of the features I am so glad I made the switch! Hard to find a SUV that I can get almost 45mpg from!
