Quiet ride and systems work.
I needed the 80 sq.feet for cargo but didn't want a minivan, even though I looked at them. Hyundai has really drawn themselves to the front of the pack for quality as the ride is comfy and more quiet than some libraries and the fit/finish beats the latest from Honda, Jaguar, Audi and approaches Volvo. The gauges are clear and have nice colors (wished for more blue or green hues, though).
The MPG needs to improve quite a bit but HP and quick throttle response were more important to me. Auto-shift points are not noticible and are appropriate. The cruise control could be more aggressive when you first set it on a hill but once you get up to speed it is very accurate. I guess all vehicles still struggle like that. Smart cruise control works very well.
All vehicles should have Brake Auto-hold and this one is great, but it has to be turned on every time you start up. Around-View camera needs better resolution, but I'm picky. I recommend this Santa Fe highly and I've owned Ford, AMC, Chevy (none of those by choice), several Hondas, Acura, Tonka, Cessna, and my other Hyundai for six years.
