Good, Bad, and Ugly

First let me say in so many ways this is a dream vehicle. But when it was purchased i was told that i could turn off the eye sensor and that was a lie. It cannot be turned off. There is a feature that suggests you can turn it off but when you are in cruise control, there is absolutely no way to disconnect it. This has made driving my dream vehicle a nightmare. I drive on the interstate a couple hundred miles a day so I am often using my cruise. I am a short woman so unless I am sitting forward it does not always see my eyes. Sometimes turning the wheel will block my eyes. Whenever it cannot see my eyes it starts beeping and shuts down the cruise control. This is so dangerous. While driving I am constantly fighting with the vehicle to stay in cruise. If I wear sunglasses that also shuts it down. But driving at night is the worse. I think it does not detect between my eyes and black skin. So at night it constantly triggers the shut off because it cannot "see" my eyes. I've considered getting rid of the vehicle because driving it makes me angry. Also, I did not know it doesn't come with a spare until I got a flat tire. They say there is no place to put a spare but that's not true. I had to pay extra to have the under vehicle spare kit installed.

Solid vehicle

Great car. Size is perfect. Wish it were a tad higher off the ground. Has decent pick up. Gas mileage of the hybrid is not as high as it should be and what we were told.

Stylish and nice features. Can not use Cruise Control when it is sunny and often get a warning that radar is not working when it rains.

Good vehicle some improvements could be made

Santa Fe is comfortable has good pick up. Climate control works well however it rides like an old pick up truck. The assisted driving leaves much to be desired. If someone is turning in front of you and even though you have enough room to go around them as you normally would it slams on the brakes, even after the car clears the intersection completely.

Having major issues with our 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid

We are currently having major issues where the car suddenly slows down and would not accelerate while driving on the highway. Our car is currently with a dealer in New Jersey as the incident happened a second time in a span of one month after two trips to the service maintenance in New Jersey and Charlotte NC and being assured car is fine. We are no longer confident to drive the car back to NC.

Dumb safety future causes major use inconvenience

My older Santa Fe with automatic distance cruise control worked fine without an eye monitoring system for the driver. The new Santa Fe has this new eye monitoring combined with the automatic distance cruise control. Well well you can not use any type of cruise control on the new safety system while wearing sunglasses. The main place where you would want to use cruise control is on long highway drive the exact same place where you would want to wear sunglasses to reduce eye fatigue. They treat sunglasses like an unapproved accessory and the vehicle's sun visor is the only allowable form of sun glare protection. The eye monitor system is so bad it even activates frequently as blocked view of eyes on prescription glasses so Lasik or contacts only. Occasionally it even activates when looking straight ahead eyes wide open dealer says if I raise my steering wheel that wouldn't happen as much because the sensor is on the steering column. So to use cruise control I have to live with sun glare and have steering wheel in uncomfortable position. I feel like I've been sold a future cruise control that doesn't actually exist. I've gone to two different dealerships they were both like yes we know there is no fix and Hyundai thinks it is a great future. So this is not a specific issue to my vehicle.

Vehicle has been in the shop for about three months in the first year

Here’s the revised version with the timeline included: I have experienced multiple major issues with my vehicle during the first year of ownership, resulting in approximately three months of total time in the service department. July 3, 2025: The first issue was an electrical problem where the vehicle would randomly honk while it was locked during rainy weather. The dealership determined that moisture was getting into an electrical component/control box, which had to be replaced. April 11, 2026 (approximately 6:00 AM): The vehicle developed a serious acceleration problem and would not accelerate beyond approximately 32 MPH. I returned it to the dealership, where the transmission was replaced. May 26, 2026 (approximately 6:19 AM): Just a few weeks later, the exact same acceleration issue occurred again. The dealership had to involve Hyundai Corporate engineers to assist with diagnosing the problem. Based on their recommendations, the dealership replaced a fuel pump (or fuel system component). Despite these major repairs, I have spent approximately three months without reliable use of my vehicle during my first year of ownership. This has been extremely frustrating and has significantly impacted my confidence in the vehicle’s reliability. I purchased this vehicle expecting dependable transportation, and instead I have experienced repeated major mechanical and electrical failures in its first year.

Easy to Drive, Infotainment is Difficult

I like just about everything on it, except for the way that Apple Car Play interacts with the infotainment. I am glad it is wireless, but once you are using Car Play, you have to completely get out of it to do anything else, unlike my wife's Palisade. In her Palisade, you can have the SiriusXM show on the side and the Waze, from Car Play, on the other side. For me to use the Waze navigation and then see what artist I am listening to on SiriusXM, I have to get out of the Car Play display, swipe right, click on the Sirius XM function and then click on the active station. Then, do the same to get back to Waze. That is a lot to do while driving, especailly, when they are able to be both on the same screen in other edition besides the Calligraphy. Also, on the Sirius XM player, it has a terrible use of the screen space. It limits the characters that it will show and does not scroll across either. There is plenty of space to show the full artist and song title, but it limits it for no reason. The last thing is the sports following "feature." It has very odd sports for an American model. It doesn't have American football and has other sports that aren't even on TV here most of the time.

Santa Fe Hybrid

Vehicle is great except for rattle in dash. Hyundai has taken the position that I need to live with it even though it has been in the shop three times and ask three times they agree that it is present and shouldn’t be. The reason they want me to live with it is they don’t want to tear the dash apart due to fear of causing more problems.

Santa Fe 2025

Not sure why we're still putting carpet in vehicles...at least give us the option to not. Also, make driver seat adjustments for shorter people...visor doesn't come down far enough, seat will only go up and forward so far. I am 5'3...not the shortest in the world by far.

Love this vehicle

I literally love everything about this SUV. It’s a great size for a family, love the hybrid/mileage, all the tech. My tall husband fits comfortably, which is not an easy box to check! And plenty of storage. Feels safe. The only complaint is the paint doesn’t seem super durable, scratches and scuffs easily.
