Santa Fe is always been good

Been driving nothing but Santa Fe's for over 15 years. Never a problem with any of the vehicles that we have had. This is our fifth Santa Fe. We have no reason to even look at another car.

Love it, except...

I can't see the control panel when the sun is shining and I live in Florida!

Poor Reliability & Build Quality

Despite the dealership's best efforts, the car is problematic & unreliable due to the way it was manufactured. Although we've had this car for only 14 months (13,600 miles), we've had to bring it to the dealership 6 times for recalls and other problems. This translates to a material problem every other month. For example, the transmission had to be replaced 1.5 months ago. A couple of weeks later, a flashing red engine light came on. I gave a photo of the red engine light to the dealership to prove it came on. Staff told us there are no "false positives" with warning lights, a flashing red engine light always indicates a serious problem, and the car should not be driven. However, after staff performed extensive diagnostic work, no corrective action was authorized by Hyundai even though staff believed, based on the symptoms and their experience with these cars, the injectors needed to be replaced. Given the car's track record, especially given its most recent problem that was not resolved, we don't feel safe driving our car on trips outside of the immediate area.

My second Hyundai Sante Fe

Best car I have ever owned. So good that after owning one for 19 years I gave it to a family member and bought a new one. I love this one even more. The comfort, ride, cargo space, reliability, etc, etc ... all excellent!

Stylish Vehicle

I absolutely love the vehicle's styling and design. It truly stands out from its competitors and has a fantastic presence on the road. However, I would like to see improvements in powertrain and chassis refinement. Specifically, the engine performance feels sluggish during sharp turns, and the front wheels and steering wheel exhibit noticeable shaking when braking on uneven pavement.

Best Car I’ve Ever Owned

I love my Santa Fe! It is roomy, beautiful inside and out with all the bells and whistles, tons of safety features, gets good gas mileage and is built to last. Will definitely get another Hyundai when I’m ready for a new car.

2025 Santa Fe Calligraphy: Luxury, Comfort, and a Few Flaws

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy delivers an impressive blend of luxury, technology, comfort, and performance. The upscale cabin is loaded with premium features, and the turbocharged 2.5L engine provides responsive acceleration with respectable fuel economy. Unfortunately, the exterior styling is let down by an absolutely hideous rear-end design that feels disconnected from the otherwise attractive SUV. Premature steering wheel leather deterioration and a rattling head-up display also raise concerns about long-term interior quality. Despite these flaws, the Santa Fe remains an enjoyable, feature-packed SUV with plenty to appreciate.

lacking some features

I do love my Santa Fe with the exception of the air conditioning - if I would have known there was no individual controls that in the back seat which is the middle seat for air conditioning and heat I do not think I would have brought this car. Yes it was available in the Caligraphy model but that model did not come with a bench seat which is absurd!!

A Favorite Ride

It's been 1.5 years and my 2025 Santa Fe XRT has been one of my favorite vehicles. It handles great in the Wisconsin winters. Even with the technology, the handling is as expected. The controls are easy to learn and access, everything makes sense with the location and how to get to what you need. It still has enough buttons in the right place to keep distraction at a minimum while driving. All of the body panels fit as they should. The interior is spacious for all passengers, including enough space for adults in the 3rd row. When the 3rd row is down the cargo area is sufficient for DIYers & hitting the sales. I love front cargo area storage and councils. The extra charging outlets throughout is a nice touch. The vehicle is usually responsive and has great pickup when needed. The mileage is improving, I have gotten as high as 30 mpg on the highway. Now for the things that I don't like. The sensor that watches the driver on the steering column. When on long stretches, I usually have my right arm crossing over and hanging onto the left side of the steering wheel. This is not a problem unless you are using the cruise. The sensor cannot "see" your face and shuts the cruise control off. The headlights took some getting at night. At night, the "H" shape is visible in the distance; the middle of the beam is lower than the sides. There are occasions where a delay, or slow acceleration when taking off from a stop -- NOT related to Vehicle Hold nor the start/stop functions. This will occur even if neither function is activated. The future loss of some app, map setting, and Bluelink settings unless paying a monthly fee for the foreseeable future while owning the vehicle. Overall this is a great vehicle and I would recommend it.

Good, but quirky transmission

Transmission shifts entirely too much at city driving speeds.

Family Car

Vehicle was a good car for my slender wife. I could never get comfortable because of the size of the seats.

Concept is good but dual clutch transmission needs to go.

The overall vehicle is nice. It has a lot of room for all purposes needed. The dual clutch transmission is horrible lacks accelerating when needed pulling into traffic. It's going to get people killed cause of it hesitating to accelerate. The calligraphy is well put together except for those awful over sized rims with rubber bands for tires. You hit a pothole and have a blowout waiting to happen. The tires get bubbles in them from hard bumps. That combo shouldn't be on that vehicle for safety purposes.
