Brand new 26' Gone Horribly wrong

My 6th Hyundai and 4th Santa Fe & 2nd Santa Fe Hybrid--since leaving the showroom--it's been a complete disaster, too much to fully explain unless I can get a phone call from someone I can understand, please! I have THREE highly defective tires and have been to the service center 5 times-now they want me to drive my car with unsafe, dangerous tires back to my original dealership 175 miles away...HELPPPP!!!

Every detail covered

We’ve had many new cars and Hyundai is best by far for quality, comfort, technology especially, price and looks. We had a 2023 Sante Fe plug in hybrid and it was great, but this 2026 hybrid is PERFECT!

Quiet smooth ride, great tech

This car is very quiet, super comfortable, and has all the latest technology. I love doing the remote start/climate start with the app, and the storage space is fantastic. One thing, we live on kind of a busy street and the automatic breaking/accident prevention sometimes makes it tough to back out of my driveway; that’s the only negative thing I can think about this car. I really love it.

2026 Hyundai Sante Fe hybrid

Overall I'm very pleased with my new Hyundai Sante Fe. However, I am disappointed with two things. First I was very surprised that the new vehicle did not have a spare tire. A driver should have peace of mind that there is a spare donut tire and not a can of foam. I am told some tire dealers will not repair tires that have the foam in them. Second, the navigation system map leaves alot to be desired. The map is very difficult to read. Street names should be in bold print and not small light face type. This is a safety hazard because the driver can not try to read the map and keep his eye on the road. I have owned numerous Ford vehicles whose navigation screens are much easier to read. I hope you can correct my concern in the future.

This is out 3rd Santa Fe!

Our 2026 Santa Fe HEV is a dream to drive. The ride is smooth. The electronics are a marvel. The comfort is grand. I'm not a fan of the cramped third row, but so far it has carried one adult passenger successfully, but he had to extend his legs out between the two captain's chairs of the second row.

My new Full time Uber car.

I've owned this car less than 3 months and have already put 18k miles on it. The ride is near perfect. The MPG is outstanding for this size vehicle. The back seat and legroom are of paramount importance to me and this car exceeds both my previous CR-V Hybrid and my RAV4 Hybrid in that regard. Cargo area with the third row down is impressive. I do not utilize the third row seats in this car. The interior materials and quality are flawless. It does not squeak or rattle. I have owned more cars than anyone I know and I am quite impressed with this one. My first complaint would be the transmission. It makes some terrible clunky shifts at lower speeds. Not enough of a bother to make me not like the car, but enough to keep me from saying it is perfect. The one thing that infuriates me is how much this car beeps. It beeps when I change gears, when it thinks I need a break, when the back seat passenger unbuckles their seatbelt before I come to a complete stop, when there is cross traffic behind me, when there is a car in the turn lane next to me, when I back it into the garage, when there is snow on the front sensors. And I have yet to figure out how to stop the incessant beeping. I bought 4 cars this year, and I usually buy at least two per year. However, I will not buy another Hyundai if I test drive one and it beeps like this one does.
