Great hybrid SUV for a reasonable price.

We love our hybrid Santa Fe. It’s the perfect size for us and the 30 mile distance on electric gets us to most places during the week.

Top notch

Very nice, well built car. Fit and finish is excellent, it's quiet and comfortable. Good handling and brakes are very good. Everything has been working well and I am very pleased. This is my first Hyundai but I would certainly buy one again. Also, gas milage has been excellent but a slightly bigger gas tank would be nice to have. The style, design, features, room, storage area ........... are perfect. The 3-row Santa Fe was a little too large for me so the 2023 model was chosen.

2023 Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV

Nice vehicle, could have been better with a few more options. Charging type of adapter no longer a common standard.

Disappointing.

The gas engine comes on far more frequently than it should. This means my usual short trips are often on gas rather than on battery. In spite of giving Hyundai plenty of records the maintenance department could not correct the problem or explain why it was happening. Additionally, the vehicle does not have a conventional trip meter. Every time the vehicle stops it resets to zero. Hence on long journeys, where a few stops are normal, the information is useless. How many total miles; what gas consumption over the entire journey -- one needs a bit of paper, a pen, and a calculator. Similar problem when the gas tank is filled -- it resets to zero.

I am pleased with the style and comfort of this car. It is very roomy and plenty of storage. Good for long trips using gas vs electric.

Cheaply made

I won’t be buying a Hyundai again, mostly for the experience at the Hyundai Dealership in Folsom CA. They tried swapping out the car for a different one (same color, different VIN) under my nose while I was in the purchasing process. Super shady business tactics. The car looks good but the build quality is pretty poor. There are multiple annoying things with it (regularly loses all my presets and settings I set up, rear lift gate has issues and randomly stops and has a loose nut inside that I can hear jangling around, pressurized gas tank makes sudden noises as if I was rear ended, spoiler on back door is not installed properly so the plastic is twisting, back up auto brake is too sensitive and suddenly stops as if we hit something when there is plenty of space or nothing there at all besides a shadow on the ground). Cheaply made.

Great Car, but for One Thing

I love everything about this car, except for one feature that has irked me since purchase. I get mid--60s eMPG, so I'm saving a lot on fuel. I love the comfort features, and adult back seat passengers have expressed good comfort and praise for the heat/AC vent, arm rest, reclining seats and window shades. I also love the sound system and overall ride, as well as the degree of control I'm allowed with the speed control system. The one issue I HATE is the auto--locking system. I cannot get the locks to work as I want to, and I've gotten no help from customer service calls ad even got a shoulder shrug from a technician, when I inquired about changing the brake system settings. I've spent many hours searching on--line forums, etc, to no avail. Other than this frustrating feature, I'd highly recommend this car to someone who primarily drives locally, with occasional trips (the gas mileage is pretty average without the plug--in feature).

Great car with one silly flaw

I love the car. I love the feel, fit, and finish. The issue is they didn't include a trickle charger on the 12V system that runs everything in the car. So, if like me, you have a short commute and don't use the gas engine sometimes for weeks at a time you will kill the traditional battery even though you are literally plugging it into a charger every night...Seems like an oversight to me.

I am so happy with this purchase!

This car is comfortable in the front and rear seats. I love the panoramic glass roof that lets in natural light. The ride is smooth and we get great gas mileage! I love the option of electric and gas.

Great dirving car

The Santa Fe Plug In is great for all of our needs. It's quiet on the highway. Handles well. We get good gas mileage in Hybrid mode. The electric mode is great for daily commute in warm weather. I only wish the heater was electric in the winter time since the engine run to make the heat. Kind of defeats the purpose of the EV mode.
