Comfortable economical terrific

I love the ease of the hybrid. Gas mileage is excellent. I don’t like not having a spare. Got stranded with a flat which was too damaged for the inflator to work.

The Three-Row Vehicle of Choice

This Santa Fe is the third three-row SUV our family has owned; and the second from the Kia/Hyundai family. It is, by far, the most fun-to-drive (yes...I used fun) SUV of this size I've driven. It has the room needed for our small family of one teenager and two dogs for a road trip. It has the power to climb hills, pass on the freeway, and maneuver in urban settings. Best of all...fuel economy!

Perfect vehicle for niche needs. Calligraphy trim isn't worth it to me

I did a lot of research before buying my Hybrid Santa Fe. I was replacing a Ford F-150 King Ranch and needed something with cargo space and the ability to drive well on gravel and snow. And after years of abysmal 15mpg mileage I was desperate for a hybrid option. The hybrid Santa Fe was a perfect fit. The only other option that fit the bill was the Toyota Highlander, but at the time they couldn't be found anywhere, even for a test drive; no matter though, the Toyota was more expensive than I preferred. After test driving I knew it was a great option. I really liked the camera rear view mirror and splurged on the Calligraphy trim-level just for that. Although I've since discovered that camera is usually too dirty to be effective, so I find myself in classic mirror-mode most of the time. I drive several miles on gravel every day, so the dust is a constant factor. My husband's Ioniq also has this feature and he doesn't experience the same issues because he's rarely on gravel. I also really liked the Calligraphy level trim because of the pilot-seat style second row. However, in reality, they are less useful or convenient that I imagined. I have an only child, so I don't have to deal with the "he's on my side!" arguments that these separate seats help address. In daily use a bench-style seat would be more useful for cargo and for the fact that you can enter on one side and slide over to the other much more easily. I also frequently put the 2nd row seats down to carry large loads and not having a gap between the two would be handy. I have my 3rd row seats down nearly 100% of the time to take advantage of the cargo space. With the 3rd row seats up the cargo space is quite small-- a family of 6 plus groceries or luggage for a family of 6 will require all your Tetris skills. This is where that rearview mirror camera comes in handy, you can totally block your back window and still be able to use the mirror in camera mode. There's no place to stow your jumper cables. The storage in the front row is also quite meager. Granted I'm going from the massive center console of an F-150 to a smaller and narrower vehicle, but the Hyundai's center console is tiny, and uselessly deep. I thought that the open space on the floor between the front row footwells would be perfect for my purse. However, when both seats are occupied it's difficult to get my purse into and out of that space. There are two other Calligraphy features worth mentioning. The fingerprint ID and the UV sanitizing compartment. The fingerprint ID rarely ever worked for me on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. try. It annoyed me mightily so I ditched the driver profile option and just drive as a guest all the time. The buttons for seat positions 1 vs 2 work just fine to save my preferences vs my husbands. The UV sanitizing compartment is clever, but, as center console storage is so small, this has become the place where fast food napkins and extra ketchup packets end up. One of the most handy features of my Santa Fe are the ridiculous number of charging options for tech. We can charge EVERYTHING all at once. It's awesome. As for mileage, I find that I regularly get about 30+ miles to the gallon; which is impressive for a 3-row SUV. Final verdict, would I buy it again? Given that it fits my niche needs so well, yes I probably would. I would think long an hard about the Calligraphy option though, and probably opt for the next trim level down.

So Far So Good

46,000+ and shows no problems. Handles well gets excellent milage for it's size. I love to lock my axels giving me basically 4 wheel drive when skiing in the mountains and getting of the main roads.

Wish I didn't purchase a hybrid

About 25% lower MPG than advertised. Annoying interface. Needs more dials and buttons.

I love my Santa Fe Calligraphy AWD Hybrid

This is my second Santa Fe; my first was a 2019 Ultimate. I love the instant power when you step on the gas. The hybrid motors hove no turbo lag. Self steering, adaptive cruise control, napa leather seats, comfortable ride, middle captains seats, heated and cooling seats, entertainment sound, and head-up-display are all outstanding features. The only con is the hybrid battery cooling air outlet is right by the middle row seats on the floor and is torture (heat) on the passenger sitting next to it. I had my dealer help me fix it so it isn't as bad.

Love the SUV/Unexpected issues/Disapointment with Hyundai

We had issues that required us to have the vehicle in for service and undrivable for over five weeks. Once while we were out of state. We had one very bad experience with a local dealer and the hardest time with Hyundai National program. We were forced to rent a car while service work was completed out of state and assured by the dealership that Hyundai would reimburse us for the rental. Based on the level of vehicle we purchased. This was not the case it took me over five months of back and forth, providing the same information over and over, having to back track over and over to finally get Hyundai to reimburse me for the rental. AND..... five times in for service until the issue was resolved. I'd love to share all the details but I dont have the time to write the entire story just say we are disappointed and my wife would not purchase another. And lets not forget how loud the drive window is. We asked them to address the issue and no luck.

Pre-owned, bluelink issues

I bought my Santa Fe pre-owned and the bluelink is still registered to the previous owner's email address. I contacted both Hyundai and Bluelink. Ultimately found that there's nothing I can do until the previous owner disconnects. I've had it for 8 months now. The rubber trim above the windshield comes off in the carwash, I can hear wind come through the door seals when I drive. Is this all normal for a 2024? It was 1yr old when I bought it.

Great vehicle, well designed and appointed. A few annoying glitches

Nice vehicle with distinctive styling. Decent amount of storage and a third seat (although small) is available when needed. Calligraphy model is well designed, practical and well appointed. Interior storage is great for the size of the vehicle. Some controls are not intuitive.

A lot of tech but quality lacks

Colors and aesthetics are lovely but quality lacks. All the front lights fog up, battery chargers for iPhone do not work, sanitizing feature is unnecessary. Car would not start in extreme cold due to hybrid feature.

car is great; authorized service centers/dealerships are atrocious

I cannot take my car to Hyundai service centers due to gross incompetence. the local Hyundai has an online google rating of 2.4 and uses reputation management organizations because they cannot bully Google into removing reviews from public view. I went in for a Hyundai recall and came out with a messed up rear camera they denied they broke. they want me to pay ~$800-$1000 to replace the small camera that they messed up. the car itself is great; but i have no confidence that any Hyundai service will be competent enough to even change the oil they promised, let alone do any recall fixes. totally trash service.

Very good vehicle for the value

This vehicle is a great value compared to other vehicles of similar size and features. There are only a couple small things that could be improved upon. Hyundai might want to consider a 2.5L vs 1.7L engine (a little more horse power for up and down hills and mountains). The power seats are nice, but if you raise up they don't really allow you to move back as far as may be needed. But again all in all, great vehicle for the money.
