April 2025

I am very happy with this vehicle except for one significant flaw. The Lane Keep Assist function has a system for monitoring driver attention that does not work properly. Apparently it relies on an infrared sensor mounted on the steering wheel column that does not work if it is sunny out and/or if the driver is wearing sunglasses. This pretty much negates the ability to use this system in the daytime unless it is an extremely cloudy day. There does not appear to be a way to turn off the monitoring system without disabling the Lane Keep Assist Function. Very disappointed in this. It's a valuable safety feature that can't be used much of the time.

Two Things That drives Me Crazy About My 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid Limited

Let me begin by saying that I love this car. Period. With that out of the way, here are the two things that that make me nut - one being technical, the other being a design flaw. When driving the Santa Fe after it's been sitting for a while - overnight or just a few hours - the engine (or transmission?) surges for the first five minutes - kind of like I'm pumping and letting off the accelerator. The fluctuating RPMs are visible on the tach. The first time I brought it in for service about this, the service department said that they could not repeat the problem. The second time I brought it for service, the service writer told me that it was common because all the sensors need to be warmed up to the same temperature. Online, other people are complaining about the same issue. I find it hard to believe that Hyundai would design a vehicle and think it was OK for these surges to be not a problem. Next - the design issue. There are only two AC vents for the rear passengers and those are small and narrow vertical outlets in the b-pillar. That's just stupid. Hopefully they're doing something about that for the 2027 refresh. OK - one last thing: there needs to be an option to omit the 3rd row.

2025 SANTA FE HYBRID

Great on gas mileage, comfortable ride, in the mornings it’s jittery for few miles, and the ac stings mold….they tell me I have to pay the dealer to have it fixed… it’s a service you suppose to have every year… I call it BS…new car and has this problem….. I owned Honda products since 1995 to 2025… NEVER EVER I HAD AN STINKY AC LIKE THIS… PAY THEM MONEY TO FIX THEIR PROBLEMS??? NO I WILL GIVE THEM SOME GOOD ADVERTISEMENT THEY WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN…. TALK TO ME BEFORE YOU BUY A SANTA FE…

Our Santa Fe

So far, our Santa Fe has met my expectations except I was expecting to visually see more battery use than fuel in and around town. The mileage ranges 36-38 mpg which is much better with the increase in fuel prices and is in the range that is factory stated. I strongly wish I had a spare tire because I had a sidewall tear when I hit a curb and had to be towed. The incident was caused by a driver in the left lane coming over into my lane. The weather was also an issue because it was stormy. I had to bet a new tire, and it could not be installed until the next day

Wouldn't buy again

The card rides nicely, but that is cancelled out by the poor interior technology

Santa Fe - better than it has to be!

I have 23,000 miles on my Santa Fe Hybrid… exactly zero issues have occurred! It’s lives up to the reason I bought this - my 5th Hyundai - you just push the button and it goes.

Could Not Leave Zero Stars!!!

After having our new $56K Santa Fe Calligraphy in the shop 5 times for the same problem (battery goes completely dead if the car sets undriven for 7-10 days), I am informed that Hyundai is satisfied that there is nothing wrong with the car, I simply don't drive it often enough. If I do not plan on driving it more frequently, I should leave it on a trickle charger. Seriously????

Santa fe

I love my new car but it does seem a little cheaply made. I already had to use the warranty within the first week of owning it.
