Nice Ride and Affordable Price Tag for a Hybrid

Rides nice and fuel efficient with elevated interior display and comfort. Driver assistance safety features, downhill descent, trunk space, and interior lighting could be better

Great vehicle but fuel efficiency way over exaggerated

Love my 2026 Santa Fe but disappointed in the fuel prices efficiency hype. Not much better than my 2015 (fuel not a hybrid) Toyota Highlander. Lucky if I get 25 MPG on road trips

Needs a lot handling improvement

I regretted bought horrible car on high speeds. Simple like that . Needs a lot improvement on drive experience. Feels like they forgot about it and just care about technology and looks.

Great car

I sold a 2021 Lexus RX that got about 16 mpg around town. My Santa Fe has been getting 32 to 33 mpg around town. It is a smooth riding car that takes bumps better that my Lexus. The heated seats and steering wheel work perfectly.

So far so good. We’ve had the car for about four months so we don’t have enough time to evaluate it properly.

Nice to drive —too much unnecessary technology

Very comfortable car to DRIVE. Tech is overdone. Our 2020 Santa Fe had it about right! Do I really need to be able to swap the tune and volume control. Think not. Had to Chat GPT to learn how to use lots of functions as manuals are not up to date with the latest. Hybrid way overrated. 31.5 MPG in first 3000 mile. In the 2020 Turbo, we got lots of 27 - 29 MPG. With split screen using Sirius XM, map on the screen is dark and not changeable - useless and virtually impossible to see the name of a song or the artist. We live in a rural area where where cell service gets lost, making Apple Play useless, so we don’t. Do I really need to be able to back my car out with the key fob - virtually useless. Can’t stop THINK ABOUT TAKING A BREAK which flashes up I REALLY DISLIKE THAT,! Time for a software update. For over 60 years I have known when to take a break, and I don’t need some software nerd telling me that. Having to push little spots on a screen to heat steering wheel or or seats is dangerous and prone to hit more than one button. We have a car for getting from A to B and don’t need all the extra stuff someone thinks we need. You remind me of the Jeep ad which says “we keep you informed and entertained”. Not the way you’re overdoing it.

Would be 5 stars if everything worked

Great tech features, great mileage. Low reliability so far.

Not much wrong.

Maybe because there is nothing really wrong with this car, I am overly focused on the relatively small problems it has. The only thing so far that is even close to a concern is that the A/C does not put out a lot of cold air, although that could be a result of the blower vents not being optimally positioned. Another minor problem is that you really have to put some time in to fully understand how the control and settings systems work. There are a lot of features in this car that I have not gotten around to using yet. Depending on how you drive, you are looking at 27 - 35 mpg--possibly a few mpg more if you really baby it. Acceleration is adequate, especially if you put it in "sport mode", but then your mileage suffers a bit. Handles well and is a very comfortable ride. Huge amounts of room in the back, and the seats fold down very easily. Overall quality is good--this does not feel like a cheap car, and the price is very reasonable for all that you get.

26’ Hybrid SF Calligraphy

Excellent vehicle, however now with 5k miles I notice when accelerating it seems loud on the interior of the car. Like it seems hard to do and sounds like an old car trying to get up a hill 94 just to shift , seems like it doesn’t want to shift .

Mostly satisfied

Love the comfort, fuel economy, features, acceleration. Only complaint: The front wheel drive easily breaks tires to spin out, especially on wet roads, if accelerate too rapidly.
