Our 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Review
Had a Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring, looked at a newer CX-5 Signature, and desired something just a little bit---not a lot---bigger inside, with plenty of safety features and driving aids technology, plus creature comfort and convenience features, plus a sufficiently powerful engine, plus a conventional (i.e., not CVT) transmission, with some style, a solid warranty, and demonstrable reliability stats. The Santa Fe Ultimate 2.0 checks all those boxes handily, way undercutting the prices a similarly equipped SUV from, say, Acura or Volvo or the Germans or would demand. After 9 months with our Santa Fe and 8K miles, no problems! In that perfect world, I'd vote to see if the engineers could quiet the engine just a little more when initial acceleration happens, but once up to speed, engine and road noise levels are not intrusive. Personally, I'd love to see the new 2.5L turbo engine find its way into this trim level of the Santa Fe, but this is probably unlikely.
