5 months in

Lots of flashy lights ooh and awe tech but I would’ve rather have had a spare tire. Had one of my tires puncture while driving and as I’m searching for a spare tire, I noticed I didn’t have one. Which sidenote I think it needs to be reported during the sale of the car instead, I had this compressor thing and some glue. I get it takes a less room, maybe takes up less time, but after using it, my tire became unbalanced because of it. Which typically happens when you use this stuff. Therefore in the end, I still had to go get a new tire in which, if I had a spare, I could’ve driven a little bit more on the spare instead I was three hours away from home and had to find a tire shop. If I had a spare, I could’ve at least made it home. If I would’ve completely totaled my tire than what that stuff isn’t the fix all. And I find it a little unsafe that this car has no spare tire, especially being more than likely moms are buying these vehicles. Second concern, I feel like my phone is gonna catch on fire with how hot these phone chargers get in the calligraphy model. The charging plate area gets increasingly hot when charging a phone to where the phone shuts off due to overheating, but not fully charged. I feel like my second row, captains chairs have minds of their own and it depends on how they feel whether they will go all the way down or come all the way up or slide forward or slide back and yes, there is plenty of room for it to do so. The wide open vents on the front of the car pretty devastated when I find a bird watched into that area, but I have to have the car on to get it out. At least on a. Car with a grill it’s a lot easier than having to stick your hand inside this vent to get it out. The driver side air vent is too low compared to my other vehicles. I think I’m just disappointed with how much technology is car has we failed to include a spare tire or mention that it doesn’t have one? I don’t think that I would have purchased this car knowing all of this now four months later.

Safety recall

Had to bring my new 2026 Santa Fe in for a seat belt safety issue and they made it virtually painless.

Almost perfect

I love the vehicle, however two things need to be addressed by the manufacturer. 1. The seatbelt buckle placement is horrible. The back seats are especially hard to buckle because they are almost below the seat and there is no way to pull it up. 2. The headrests look great and don’t bother us driving around town, but when you take a road trip, they are the most uncomfortable headrests ever. They force your head forward which in turn gives you neck, back and shoulder pain after an hour of driving. They need to be either adjustable forward/backward or permanently revamp them all together.

Great Family Vehicle with Good MPG

We have owned our boxy 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid for over 5 months now. This is a great family vehicle that gets about 35 MPG on highway. We took on 2 x long trips since March 2026, one time it got 38 MPG from Virginia to Florida. When we took to New York, we only got 35 MPG probably from more traffic and mountains in Pennsylvania. This is comfort for the 1st row and 2nd row also. Our 2026 Santa Fe SEL AWD has advanced technical items such as AEB, lane keeping, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Automatic headlights and high beams. It is a 5-star safety vehicle. We love the USB-A ports in the driver and passenger side seats from the 2nd row charging. We also love the trunk area as it has a wide hatch and large area. The driver dash in very large (25" long) and the cargo area after the 3rd row is very generous for 5 carry-on suitcases (14.6 Cubic Feet) if needed. We usually on had 5 to 6 passengers, so you can than pack all luggage, you just have drop half of the 3rd row seat. We installed a 2" tow hitch and tow wiring kit for $300 (DYI) and Roof Racks for $130 from Amazon.com (DYI). We have used the roof rack to haul our Thule Skybox for both long trips and still got 34+ MPG. It is also very quiet inside this SUV versus our former 2018 GMC Acadia. We love it so far!!

Hybrid is Great

Hated the car on exterior. Got inside and fell in love with how spacious it is. Outside is growing on me but still not my favorite. Some tech things like touch screen cabin air settings are unsafe and require eyes off of the road to adjust.

It’s a solid car. Some of the interior features feel cheap/plastic and the revometer can be a bit touchy

120 days driving

The biggest problem for us is the fact there is not a radio/cd player. We cannot figure out how to get any music or news on what is in the car. What are the + & - paddles on the back side of the steering wheel? When we park the car and come back to it, the fan blower is still running, why? This has caused us to think about getting a different vehicle.

We love our new Santa Fe. Love all the safety features and the great mileage. I do miss a couple of things that my last Santa Fe had though.

Best luxury and comfort at reasonable and affordable price

It has the best interior and exterior design and could be compared to the luxury vehicles such as BMW, Audi. But Hyundai has more safety features that those luxury cars doesn't provide at lower price compared to most of the luxury cars. "With Luxury cars we just get feeling of luxury but with Santa Fe you get the actual luxury" - Tony Goda. I mean safety, comfort, interior design, and the drive itself.
