2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

I just love my 2025 Santa Fe. It is very comfortable and roomy inside giving you an unconstructive view of your surroundings. I have driven a SUV from a luxury car dealer for most of my life and I have to be honest and say the Hyundai Santa Fe offers a smoother and comfortable ride than any vehicle I have ever owned. The safety features are outstanding and gives you a feeling of confidence that your vehicle considers your safety a priority.

smooth ride- sharp looking

I like this vehicle and the rider. I'm not a fan of the tires that came with it. They wear too fast and dont hold the road in winter. Over all it is a very quite ride and there is very little outside noise that comes through.

could be better

The car is unpredictable. the display shuts off for no reason, loses its programming, including biometric access. it is underpowered for the amount of gas it consumes. It is comfortable. The mirrors never stay where they are set. The rear view camera mirror gets extremely hot. The battery dies often, requiring it to be kept on a charger. I uses a cellphone to send constant updated about system status, further wearing down the battery. It sends low fuel updates, more battery drain, door lock updates, mire battery drain, nit all of those updates can be disabled. because it has a turbo, it runs the cabin air fan, to help cool it down, but at the expense of more battery drain. when the display dies, usually after a engine stop at a red-light. abd when the brake pedal is released the engine starts and then dies in the intersection. Nearly got creamed a few times on that little trick, then you drive with a blank instrument screen. this system is not ready for prime time. beginning to regret the Calligraphy purchase.

My Thoughts.

Overall, I like my Hyundai Santa Fe and it’s been a comfortable SUV, but there are a few things I wish were designed better. I really dislike the auto stop feature, as it can feel annoying and inconsistent in traffic. The opening to the under-center storage is also very small and awkward to access while driving. Another downside is the way the air vents blow — it’s hard to get the airflow positioned comfortably without it hitting directly in an uncomfortable spot.

Great Choice, A Few Challenges

Really like the 2025 Santa Fe Limited. A few very disturbing "features". The Forward Attention Warning (FAW) is both annoying and dangerous. Difficult to shut down once it deploys. Terrible piece of technology. Second, there is no need for the starter-destroying Auto Stop. Just get rid of it. Seats could be more comfortable.

Sante fe bears volvo

I traded in a Volvo XC 90 for a Santa Fe calligraphy edition. The Santa Fe puts the Volvo to shame. It is a more comfortable ride more interior options more comfortable seating. I have leased the Santa Fe and when the lease is finished, I plan to buy one. They are fantastic.

Hated the DCT transmission! Never would’ve bought it if I had known.

No one informed us of the DCT transmission when we bought this vehicle. It was very difficult to drive and somewhat dangerous as it lunged forward when parking and jerked badly when in reverse backing out of driveway.

I like the car but…

I’ve had several issues that are troublesome. The safety features are no longer safety features. I have had to turn several of them off in hopes that the car won’t brake automatically when it thinks there is an issue. I have had the car tell bit me and my husband that we need to keep our eyes on the road. We are. Yet the warning will go off several times in a row. My husband even had the car brake suddenly on the highway. It was scary. I also have had repeated issues with the sound system failing and needing to be reset. And I mean no sound, no radio, no car sounds, no touchscreen sounds, nothing. The only way we’ve found to reset it is to disconnect the battery for a few minutes. We’ve tried other fixes but they don’t work. This should never be happening. The car is 1 yr old. The first time it happened when the car was 6 months old we thought it was a fluke. Well now 6 months later, it has happened several more times. I’m frustrated to say the least. Neither of these issues should be happening. I will probably not be keeping this car as long as I had thought. If I take the car in to be looked at, I will only be told nothing is wrong since they won’t be able to recreate the issues. I had a problem with the front collision warning going off repeatedly last fall, thank god I had taken video when it kept happening. The dealership tried to tell me nothing was wrong if they couldn’t recreate it. I showed them the video. They ended up taking apart the dash and said a cable had become loose. That never should’ve happened either.

You’re driving a computer not a car

Overall, nice vehicle; however, two big issues. Passive entry drains the vehicle battery, which leads to needing an emergency physical key (not the key fob), which the dealership never provided. Essentially, my new vehicle died, and I could not enter it for a few days. The roadside assistance could not resolve my issue right away. Every dealership within the 50-mile radius was not able to cut a key. The dealership I purchased the vehicle from did not provide a key, but that is all on Hyundai for not having it inside the fob like every vehicle manufacturer. The engine design is weird, the vehicle is not smooth on stop & go due to how the engine kicks in. Also the aerodynamics to be able to take turns or bumps should have been optimized. It is weird, it is a smooth vehicle but a very rough experience.
