Little things can mean a lot

Rear a/c controller should be accessible in middle area. Rear wheel wells need to be minimized for extra room inside. Use AI to ask how to operate (…fill in the blank)

A Great Vehicle

I would like the key fobs to be smart fobs. Also would like to have the the battery last a little bit longer on the intermittent charges. There needs to be a redesign so that the cargo cover can go into the the foot at the back of the vehicle as the gasoline ones can. And the hybrid model that doesn't happen so that gets stored in the garage which is inconvenient. Aside from those minor issues, this is probably the best vehicle I've ever owned and I've owned several over the course of my life.

Good decision

I spent 6 months researching over a few different brands of medium SUVs: Kia, Honda, Subaru, Hyundai. Finally settled on the Hyundai Santa Fe, ( the 3rd I have owned over the years). Love the brownish tan leather interior. Suits my lifestyle better than the all white,and I refuse to get black interior where I live. I do need to learn how to fully engage with all the options, but that is MY issue, not the vehicle. Has plenty of pep even without the sport mode use. Getting consistent 34 mpg with the hybrid and mostly city driving. I only wish I had more exterior color choices. I have a wait and see approach to my concerns about all the electronics in new vehicles....only time will tell

95% Positive

I am 95% satisfied with my 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy. The 5% negative relates to the operation of the seat belt. The same issue was present on my 2024 Tucson. The seat belt is not easy to click into place because that part is not high enough. In addition, the seat belt does not fully retract when released.

Hyundai Santa Fe

Car has been good, so far. Enjoy all the features. Worried about long term reliability, based on past reviews, but confident now. Good value for the money and good warranty. The vehicle should auto change for Daylight Savings and suspension tends to bounce and roll a bit more than I would like.

2026 Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy

Coming up on 4K miles, I have found little to complain about for my SF. I have driven rural roads, multi day freeway driving and metro area driving. As the miles add up, as other owners have said, the mpg just keeps getting better. I am also getting much better at manipulating the hybrids strengths and getting more miles out of electric only driving. It is becoming the norm to get 40+ mpg in metro driving. I'm also getting better at extracting and learning the many features, in this feature rich vehicle, a little at a time to fully get the most from my car. I'm still racking my mind even as I write this to come up with a legitimate complaint, but so far this car is everything my pre purchase research told me this SF would be.

No warranty on tires on a brand new vehicle. Fragile, extremely expensive tire. Poor communication from service dept. on price matching offer.

Santa Fe 60 day review!

So far this vehicle has been a great ride, it’s comfortable, easy to handle, and spacious also the road noise is very minimal. It comes with quite a few safety features as well and the miles per gallon (37) right now is outstanding! Very satisfied.

Under powered. Poor mileage.

Just completed an 8,000 mile road trip. I found the vehicle comfortable to drive but it is grossly underpowered when loaded. At freeway speeds gas mileage dropped as low as 26.5 mpg. To get over 30 (barely) i had to reduce speed to 65 mph which is much slower than most freeway limits. Not what I expected from a hybrid.

My New Santa Fe.

I love every component of the car except for the wireless phone charging. It will not stay in charge mode with three cases I’ve tried. But, the rest of the car is worth the hassle.
