Nice but quirky

It's okay. May buy a different brand next time. Already had electrical issues and the dealership lied.

2026 Santa Fe Hybrid Limited

Overall, I enjoy all the safety features on the vehicle. Last week was my first experience driving the vehicle in snow and the vehicle handled well. I did not notice that the vehicle had to shift to all wheel drive. Since I have owned the vehicle, last week of October 2025, the best gas mileage I have had for the hybrid is 32 mpg. Much less than the 35 that is listed.

Santa Fe Hybrid

The powertrain option in the vehicle is very disappointing. The 1.6T with electric motor and 6-speed transmission is not a reliable option for this vehicle due to size and weight. This vehicle should come standard with the same powertrain as the Palisade Hybrid. The vehicle lacks power and comfort. At highway speeds of 75 mph+, the engine revs excessively high at 2500 rpm’s and up. I’m still waiting to see the mpg rating of 34 on the highway. The mpg rating is over inflated by the manufacturer. I suspect the 1.6T will not last running those high rpm’s.

Santa Fe

Love the car but I can't give it 5 stars because after having it for 2 months it broke down at 1:00 am and it had to be towed to the dealer. This was on a Friday night so I had to rent a car for the weekend. It was repaired Monday morning and I was thrilled with the service. If not for the breakdown I would have given it 5+ stars. Jonny Guerrero was the service advisor who took care of it and he was great. 10 stars for him.

So far, better than average

Overall, the vehicle for the price has been great. I really like the gas mileage, and the kids love the extra room. Opportunities: Way too may beeps! It’s constantly beeping and almost always at something that is not an issue. The distraction is more dangerous that the actual threat. More places for storing stuff would be nice. Shopping bags, umbrellas, snow brush, etc. right now it all flops around in the trunk area. Would be nice to show the songs being played. Overall I’m happy at the price point.

2026 Santa Fe

I am very pleased with my new Santa Fe. The technology, particularly being able to do so many things with voice commands, the styling and the fuel economy are the highlights for me.

Poor Designed venhicle

The console modules of '26 version vs. the '24 version is a major step back. In the '24 version, the icons were lighted and easy to see, no so in the latest version. The coffee cup supposed safety feature is a terrible feature, often going off without any reason. It drives me crazy. The ' 24 version only beeped once while the '26 version beeps five times - why? Very annoying and distracting to passengers. It's a terrible and unnecessary feature and your dealer won't fix it. I will be looking for another brand to trade this piece of crap in.

Great car.Problem is that the driver's seat belt gets caught on seat.

As stated above, the driver's seatbelt sometimes gets stuck behind the seat and needs to be tugged at several times until it can be attached in the front.

2026 Santa Fe Calligrapy is a real gem

Having never been Hyundai owners, we ventured into the brand when we read an article in the Wall Street Journal about the newly designed Santa Fe. We could not be more pleased with the features that we have found in the vehicle that obviously were well researched with much customer input. It seems they thought of everything for the ride, the comfort, and the gas mileage, including unique handles that give you support when adjusting a load on the roof or when clearing off snow from the roof. It is a smooth engine and a very quiet ride, making long trips much less exhausting.

26 Santa Fe SEL Hybrid Early Review

Mostly very positive. Every system is performing as designed. I am coming off a 2020 Outback Limited which is a nice, dependable SUV. Only time will tell how dependable the Santa Fe is, but after 2000 miles it has performed flawlessly. It runs quieter and smoother, has a big car feel and gets better mileage. Although it has three rows, I folded the third row and have a great cargo area. I am short and the Santa Fe seats adjust much better for me than the Outback.
