2025 Hyundai Sante Fe Hybrid

We had a Dodge minivan for many years and were looking for a similar style and size vehicle. We bought the Sante Fe hybrid at the end of April and overall it is a great vehicle. We love the safety features. The storage component in the middle of the front seat needs to be redesigned by a woman. It is difficult to store items on the floor. The vehicle information booklet is in no logical order and is difficult to find information. The front grill is plastic and easy to damage. The cost to repair is exorbitant. Third row seating could be roomier.

Dangerous car!

Electrical system failure within of week of purchase. Kids were stuck in car. Unlock buttons didn’t work. Car in shop for more than 30 days. No updates except that the parts are on back order. No updates on “which” part it is. Completely left in the dark.

Santa Fe 2025

Overall a good driving experience. The screen and blue link has not been able to connect from the time of purchase, as app defaults to our other Hyundai vehicle.

Inside cabin control could be relocated better.

Cabin touch panel and push button should be swapped.. when pushing button with finger your hand hits the touch pad selections.

Santa Fe Hybrid a home run

While I wish it had a few more features, the car is comfortable, spacious, has a pleasant ride and I quieter than my 2016 Mazda CX9.

Everything I needed and more but with a super-annoying quirk.

The vehicle is nicer in just about every way I could expect and more. The only downside so far is that Smart Regeneration will not remain selected in the settings in the ECO section under vehicle convenience settings. This is a check or uncheck setting and it doesnt make any sense to have to go deep into the setting to recheck this box everytime you turn the vehicle on. Instead we have to turn AUTO on with the + Paddle and that is faster, but still a major inconvenience every time you put it in drive just to get the most our of your hybrid regenerative braking. It seems like a firmware update could fix this, but to this date there has been nothing offered. And, this is a well-documented problem/ annoyance. I am not sure why it has not been addressed by Hyundai. I do believe it transcends to all the other hybrids hyundai has according to the posted complaints. The seat belts are a difficult to latch also. there is not much room for that compared to all other vehicles i have been in. Please fix the Smart Regeneration setting and keep the setting selected or unselected as the user sees fit like all the other settings that remain set to the specific user.

Luxury features at a reasonable price

After considerable comparison shopping , I settled on the Santa Fe Caligraphy hybrid. It is a joy to drive , with an intuitive entertainment console and better than advertised MPG. Reasonably priced with a 5 year bumper to bumper warranty, the Santa Fe experience includes a smooth ride , comfortable seats for long term road trips , and responsive steering .

Terrible quality and poor experience. Going back to mazda

I had to immediately replace the first brand new one I bought due to defects then immediately repair the second due to defects that showed up in the first few hundred mile. I'm stuck here waiting over 7-10 days without my " new " car

90 percent perfect

There is so much good, I'll only mention the things lacking. Transmission not the best. I read Hyundai got rid of the dual clutch in the 2026 Sante Fe. That tells you something. The tech can be overwhelming. The dealers know this and do tell you to come in anytime for help. The mpg on highway is only if you drive optimal speed. Thus speed is well below what most people drive on expressways. Some western states have 80mph posted speeds.
