Very happy customer

Delighted with the purchase lots of legroom I'm six six and riding comfort plug-in is delightful I'm averaging 45 to 50 miles per gallon. I've had occasional computer glitches but nothing major.

Love everything about it except charging

Love every aspect however i have difficulty finding the correct chargers. The Santa Fe takes a J1776 charger and they are few and far between. I live in an apartment so cannot charge there, there are only two chargers i have found and they are both several miles away and im not going to sit in my car for 4 hours to charge on a regular basis. I have easily a hundred Tesla superchargers within one mile of me, but the adapter that Hyundai offers does not work with the Santa Fe. One issue i had was when i got a flat front tire; i used the included jack and as i was getting the car off the ground the jack started bending and then broke. Luckily i had moved away from the vehicle when i saw the bending start as pieces of the jack flew in a few directions. Its because of the weight of the front of the car likely from the batteries. Even the tow truck who had one of the industrial jacks like Nascar uses had difficulty getting the car lifted to change the tire. In future models you should include a much more heavy duty jack, or just none at all. One last thing, i am glad i got the 2023 model because the exterior redesign on the 2024 model is hideous. They made them boxy and square looking, trying to imitate a land rover i guess but the new look is truly awful.

llike it

I enjoy the car; especially how I fit in the driver's seat (I'm 6'5"). Electric driving option is great; use it all the time excepton trips when I need hybrid.

Great Vehicle With Amazing Mileage!

I love my 2023 Santa Fe PHEV! I get excellent gas mileage, especially during the spring and summer months. Currently, I’m getting 90mpg! The vehicle holds a lot of groceries, fits adults comfortably, and meets my needs and expectations. I love all of the fancy features like remote start, my panoramic roof, heated and ventilated seats, and real-time camera views of my turn signals on my car dash. There have been a couple issues, like phantom signal turn alerts “check your turn signal.” I’ve brought this up at my free maintenance services (for the first 3 years) and they can’t find the problem. My other issue is that I bought my car shortly before the 2024 versions came out and Hyundai decided to offer their bluelink service for free. After 3 years of owning my vehicle, I’ll have to pay for this expensive overpriced service. Bluelink should not cost money unless you want to pay for extra services within the application like emergency services.

Don't buy this vehicle

Doesn't accelerate for .5-1seconds after pushing the accelerator. Makes a large clunk when shifting and will stutter at slow speeds uphill while turning. Dealer "fixed" the issue by replacing the rear differential, which helped with the clunking/suttering for about 6 months before the problem came back. Cannot reliably run on just battery power (would engage the engine on 1mi drives for school pickup and would engage engine when charge was full by fuel was almost empty).

Love my Santa Fe - Want more battery storage though

Works great, very reliable and we found an excellent service center in Florida but I do wish we could go more then 30 miles on a charge. It is very reliable and comfortable and has been a great purchase so far!

Could be the best plug-in Hybrid? No complaints.

EV range not as advertised

The EV range is listed at 30 miles. Florida is absolutely flat and I have never gotten this range. The auto needs a bigger battery. Nice ride, though. The brackets near the left rear wheel which hold coolant lines in place, have failed causing the lines to bounce against the chassis. When I first received the vehicle, it listed the fully fueld, filly charged range at over 600 miles. I believe OTA updates messed with this figure. Unfortunately, Hyundai chose to unsuccessfully a Range Rover for 2025 when they could have refined the design and they dropped the plug-in (probably due to headaches with the vehicle).

Good, but could be better

Nice car comfortable ride, but the car should act more like a hybrid than a plug-in hybrid. I get about 30 miles on a charge thinking I should be getting a lot more.

Review of my Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-in hybrid

The car is very well designed and comfortable to drive. The distance to empty indication read about 200 miles too high after a fillup. This is a very simple calculation that is not done correctly by the firmware the car uses.

Exactly what I needed....

PHEV says it all. Only suggestion is to go from 30 all electric to 50 miles.

Hyundai remains a great choice

This is my second Hyundai Santa Fe. The first was replaced with a minivan while the kids were young. I really liked the first Santa Fe, so when it was time to replace the minivan, I didn't spend a lot of time researching. I was lucky enough to find this _very_ low mileage service loaner with all the original warranties. This made a car that is already a good value a great value. Everyone that rides in this car is impressed with it. The cabin is quiet and roomy. The mileage is excellent. There are more features than I know what to do with. I love the fact that I can plug it in and get 30+ miles on 100% electricity. I will continue to purchase Hyundai vehicles. I've already purchased three and I won't hesitate to buy another when the need arises.

Overall This Is a Terrific Vehicle

In the big picture I really like the car. There are some exceptions. The "Infotaniment" system is super slow to start up and slow and laggy to switch between functions. It's a good thing so many of the controls have physical switches. If they didn't I would take off at least one star. Maybe two. So far the build quality appears to be holding up. One exception, the part of the panel by the driver's elbow squeaks when leaned on. It's not a huge issue - yet. Maybe it won't be but it squeaked within the first couple thousand miles. The degree to which Hyundai spies on the vehicle is a huge problem. I warn people all the time when they ask if I like it or would recommend it.

Love lots of the features on the especially all the safety features. It’s been reliable. The hybrid helps with gas use when driving local which is what I mostly do.
