Would Recommend Santa Fe Hybrid

Excellent mileage and nice look inside and out. Downside is road noise, low to ground, some cheap components, tough to see display controls

Great Value

For the money, I don't think there's a better value in the market.

Love it even more than I thought I would!

This SUV has ALL the bells and whistles I wanted for $15-20k less than the competitors. Air-conditioned seats, mirrors that fold automatically, amazing infotainment set up, safety features, comfort, space, and a smoooooth ride. When I drive my husband's vehicle that I once thought was super nice, it feels hard and rickety in comparison. I look forward to road trips for the ease and comfort! I think I'm a Hyundai convert for life now.

Love everything besides the red light camera warning

After nearly 20 years of Honda Pilots I was ready for a change. I thoroughly researched and visited the LA car show to narrow my search. I am thoroughly happy with my Santa Fe. I get an average of 32 mpg which is so wonderful with the high price of gas. An all electric wasn’t practical for our family and my driving needs, but I knew I wasn’t buying another all gas engine. Hybrid was a perfect compromise. It is a tiny bit lagging when entering the freeway, but I can manage it. It is comfortable and I appreciate all the climate control features. I never knew I needed cooling seats, but I love them. One of my biggest complaints with my Honda was the lack of buttons on the audio/navigation system. An entirely touchscreen would have been a deal breaker for me. I appreciate being able to reach over and adjust without looking away from the road. My only complaint is the red light camera warning feature. I live in an area with MANY red light cameras. I don’t need the warning and I haven’t been able to shut it off. It interrupts my audio and is just plain annoying. If this was changed to an optional feature this car would be perfect. I have already raved about my car and given rides to one friend who just bought a new Hyundai. Please update the software for me.

Lots of great features, efficient, but some features can be annoying

I love the fuel efficiency, comfortable ride, display and styling. Some safety features are annoying and incorrect.

Never Buying This Again — Too Many Failures in Year One

I bought this Santa Fe Hybrid expecting a reliable family SUV, and one year and 5,000 miles later it has spent close to 30 days total sitting at the dealership instead of in my driveway. The steering column had to be replaced, the 12V battery has died completely twice requiring a jump, and the Driver Attention Warning safety system has failed twice — which matters because when it malfunctions it can disable adaptive cruise control and trigger unexpected braking. That's five repair visits for three unrelated failures in the first year, on a car that's supposed to be new and under warranty. What concerns me most isn't any single defect but the pattern — a steering component, an electrical system, and a driver safety system all failing independently in year one suggests this isn't bad luck with one part, it's a car that hasn't proven it can go a few months without needing dealer intervention. When it works, it drives well and gets great mileage, but "when it works" isn't good enough for a brand-new vehicle. I can't recommend this car until Hyundai demonstrates these issues are actually fixed rather than temporarily patched.

2025 Santa Fe review

The main two issues are as follows: - No spare tire is provided. This is a huge safety issue since the cheap air compressor and the puncture repair spray can will be useless if the tire can’t be repaired on site and you are outside cell phone coverage, you will be exposed to criminal elements and adverse weather danger. - the cranking battery on my Santa Fe left me stranded at least 4 times due to the unit being totally discharged. The Hyundai service department told me the battery was being discharged by the tracking low jack device/s installed by the dealer, the tracking devices were removed, but I still get low battery warnings. Internet searches indicate that battery issues is a well known problem to Hyundai but they refuse to fix the problem, which is due to installing inexpensive/inadequte batteries on the Santa Fe models.

Seating for six?

There are many things I love about the 2025 Santa Fe Calligraphy; HOWEVER, one of them is not the "seating for six." I tried to take six adults to a Milwaukee Brewer game; the two small women sitting in the back two seats struggled getting in and it was beyond a struggle for them to exit the vehicle! I felt bad for offering to drive. ALSO with those two rear seats up there was no room for coolers and chairs for a tailgate at the ball park. Previous to the 2025 Santa Fe, I had a 2020 Santa Fe. It seated five comfortably AND had plenty of storage room. I also miss the storage room "under the floor."

Spacious, solid vehicle that rides great with a lot of technology.

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe is a spacious, solid vehicle that rides extremely well and includes an impressive amount of technology. It is comfortable, quiet, and feels very substantial on the road. I have been very pleased with the overall quality, design, and driving experience. My only complaint is the automatic liftgate. It can open simply from walking or standing near the rear of the vehicle, which feels like a design flaw and can be inconvenient. Aside from that issue, I am very happy with the Santa Fe and would give it an excellent overall rating.

This car is a lemon

This vehicle has been in the shop for multiple reasons both in Michigan and in South Carolina. On two occasions it just stopped running. The fit and finish is horrible. It is suspected that it was damaged on the trip over from Korea.

Car is fantastic, eye position camera is terrible.

This is my 3rd Santa Fe and will be my last as long as the eye position camera disengages the cruise, slows the car down, pulls it over and gives me no ability to turn it off. This is a huge safety problem! I am currently checking around to trade it off for a SUV without that annoying feature. Continually getting “eyes on road” message when driving into the morning sun with sunglasses on.
