Last santa fe I will by

The quality of the Santa fe has dropped. We have own 4 of them and the 2025 was the worst. It was so bad we traded it in on a jeep to get rid of it.

Great car. Confusing to new drivers.

My car's locks don't work the way it's supposed to. Even the expert at the dealership was confused. It took me a year with several long trips to become comfortable with everything in the car. I hate that I have to press a button each time I turn the car off to keep it from turning off at a light. Otherwise, I really like my new car.

Software issues

The software needs to be improved, especially the lane centering algorithms. These also cause numerous nucience alerts such as "Consider taking a break" 10 minutes into your drive.

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe

There are a few things that I don't like, but as a whole, I love this car. I've had it for about 1.5 yrs and it already has 30,000 + miles. Lots of road trips. Its got a wide open space inside, I don't feel smooshed. It has plenty of cargo room. I keep the 3rd row down and that's usually enough for my 2 to 3 week road trips with my brother. I don't take it four wheeling or mudding but it has been off paved/graveled roads and it's done well so far... Good hwy gas mileage, averaged 28/29 on the last trip I took, a little less in the city. The combination of touch controls and buttons is good although I wish there were more actual buttons. The center console is a bit awkward for me. I don't sit with my seat back far enough to be able to rest my arm on anything except a corner, a very hard corner, plus awkward to open and reach in to as well. I don't use the charging pad, it charges too slow and I have to use a cord, so what I thought was a plus really isn't. Love that it has charger ports all over. The seats are comfy, even after 13 hrs of driving. I don't really care for the shifter style or location, maybe replace it with push buttons? I HATE the engine auto shut off. There is a lag between when I push the gas and when the car actually moves and that has put me in unsafe situations. It's a feature that most people turn off anyway, so get rid of it. Love the backup camera assist, but it would really be handy if a person could also view the front... I don't rely on the camera and always check surroundings when reversing, but can't see over the front of the car and a camera would be nice.

Hyundai did not honor its warranty.

My Hyundai experienced numerous intermittent electrical, electronic, and computer-related malfunctions, several of which posed serious safety concerns. Despite extensive written documentation and video evidence of these problems, Hyundai refused to address them under warranty because no diagnostic error codes were generated. Ultimately, I pursued binding arbitration through the BBB AUTO LINE program, which resulted in Hyundai being ordered to buy back my vehicle in July 2026. One particularly alarming incident occurred while driving on the interstate at 9 p.m., when another driver alerted us that our taillights were not working. We pulled over and discovered that the headlights were functioning, but the taillights were not, even though the lighting controls were set to AUTO. The dealership suggested user error, which was not the case. I sought assistance from two Hyundai dealerships. Both explained that Hyundai does not reimburse them for warranty work unless diagnostic error codes are present. None of my vehicle's numerous malfunctions generated such codes. (I doubt there is an error code for all four windows spontaneously rolling down when starting the vehicle!) One dealership acknowledged that the vehicle had "significant electrical issues" but warned that I would be responsible for the costly, time-consuming diagnostic process if no error codes were found. Another dealership actually charged me a $180 diagnostic fee because no codes appeared, despite the vehicle having fewer than 7,000 miles and being under full manufacturer warranty. This is not simply a dealership service issue. In my opinion, it is a manufacturer-level policy issue that effectively allows Hyundai to circumvent its warranty obligations and deserves serious scrutiny. A reimbursement structure that discourages dealers from investigating intermittent problems leaves customers without meaningful warranty protection, even when safety is at stake. I hesitate to recommend Hyundai, not because I believe its vehicles are inherently inferior, but because its dealer reimbursement policies appear to discourage the investigation and repair of legitimate warranty defects. Hyundai's widely advertised warranty was a major reason I purchased the vehicle, yet my experience demonstrated how difficult it can be to obtain the protection that warranty promises. If you are considering purchasing a new vehicle, I would strongly encourage you to explore other manufacturers. There are many alternatives across a wide range of prices, and a warranty is only as valuable as the manufacturer's willingness to honor it.

Some clunky features

There are some amazing features- remote start and the heads up display. Blue Link on my phone is amazing!! Driver's side area is clunky and you can't really get to the middle console when driving. The wireless chargers are inconsistent and charge very slowly when they do work

Driving is a pleasure!

We waited and looked a long time before choosing our 2025 Santa Fe Caligraphy and we made the right choice. This SUV has everything we wanted in a vehicle and then some.
