Buyers Remorse

We have 3 type written pages of problems, most of which should have ideally been addressed during by Hyundai engineers during research and development. Most certainly before we took delivery. I can't get an appointment at a dealer for one month. We can't get Bluelink to activate and neither can Hyundai's Bluelink support. That's only the tip of the ice burg. The dealer won't even look at it without an appt. I'd sell this car in a heart beat, but it would be a huge financial loss. I am shocked at how fast this car has depreciated. If you are thinking of buying a Hyundai you'd better think twice.

Like my Sante Fe Caligraphy with a few wishes

Tires don’t retain air pressure. NAV system could be better. Expected better MPG. A/C front vents could be improved as they are impossible to direct air where you want it.

No regrets!!

This is the best car purchase I have ever made. I love the way my Santa Fe Hybrid drives, how comfortable it is, and the great gas mileage I'm getting.

Wasn’t expecting to buy a Hyundai, but first look was all it took. Very impressive car, especially for the price point and deal! Bought it on the spot!

Couldn’t get dealer to fix issues with memory settings and connectivit

I got rid of it in a year took a loss trading it dealer service after the sale would have made a difference I refuse to rent a car to get issues fixed especially after buying extended warranty.

Radar

We love so many of the features of our Santa Fe. The size, the comfort and the space. However, the issue with the radar that goes off DUR ING rain is quite frustrating. The alert goes off and on during those times all the time. When we asked about it at our service appointment we were told that this is a design flaw and there is no fix. How can there be no fix? In an auto that is this expensive and to be so safe, this is what we get? If that was fixed I would give it 10 on everything. But this design flaw affects the whole review.

An Excellent Choice

The Santa Fe Hybrid is an excellent vehicle. The mileage is great, over 550 miles on a tank. I really like the space, the captains chairs are both comfortable, and a beautiful look. I am a fan of the color scheme with the wood, tan, and black interior as well as the blackout exterior. Very sleek looking. Storage is excellent. I purchased third party mud guards, rain guards, and floor mats, and roof racks. As well as a clear protector on the front of the car to protect from rock chips. The lower and controls in the rear of the vehicle make storing, and hauling a lot easier. Some feedback: Road noise is average for non-luxury vehicles. I'd like either a design change to improve that, or an ability to upgrade to cancel out road noise, and have a quieter ride. It's not the tires. My 2019 Mazda was a bit more quiet. The hybrid engine is great for efficiency, but is not the smoothest when transitioning gears. We also have a 2025 Kia Sportage SX Prestige. The gear change is much smoother. I have noticed that in a hard acceleration, the gear changes more hesitatingly. None of these are worthy or removing a star, and didn't sway me from my purchase. Just thoughts. I really like this car, zero regrets and no remorse. Ask me again in 5 years.

Not as happy as I thought I would be

Sometimes when I start off going uphill, the transmission feels like it slips and then catches. The other thing that drives me crazy is when I have it cruise control and steering assist or self drive mode, the keep your eyes on the road comes on frequently even when I make sure that I have been watching the road.
