2026 Santa Fe hybrid

We are enjoying our new 2026 Santa Fe Sel hybrid so far. We are disappointed with a couple things though. We traded in a 2020 Santa Fe Sel for this one and the 2020 had more features than the 2026 yet they were the same trim. Our 2020 had Home Link which the 2026 model does not which really surprised me beings that they are the same trim Sel. Our 2020 had electric passenger seat controls which the 2026 Sel does not have. Both of these features missing on the 2026 which the 2020 Santa Fe Sel had are a huge disappointment to not have. Your company needs to be more honest with your miles per gallon that are advertised on your 2026 Santa Fe hybrid. We have made a road trip from California to Oregon and the best mpg we had so far was 33 miles per gallon which is not at all near the advertised 41 mpg on the sticker. City driving figures are even further away from the 44 mpg that was on the sticker of our 2026 Santa Fe Hybrid. So our biggest disappointment thus far is the lack of features in our new Santa Fe Sel that our 2020 Santa Fe Sel had.

My 2026 Santa Fe review

In general, I like the vehicle so far, it's been only two months of ownership so hoping I have a good experience with this vehicle in the long run. For details, please see the pros and cons section

I made a good decision when I traded in my wife's gv70. The Hyundai service has been well received.

I would give this car 5 stars but the ground clearance isn't enough.

See above. Quite, safe, Calligraphy features are excellent but why couldn't Hyundai spring for the Santa Fe camera with recording capabilities front and back. At least the Calligraphy model

Smooth, Roomy and Great Gas Mileage

I love this vehicle, it's very comfortable and while I was originally looking for a hybrid truck under 40k, I decided to go with an SUV and I'm glad I did. It probably even gives me more room (besides a height limit) than a smaller/hybrid truck would have, and the gas mileage is amazing. I've driven from Lincoln, NE to Austin, TX and used maybe 1.5 tanks of gas at between 33-37 mpg. It has surprisingly good pickup and turning radius for a larger vehicle. I do enjoy the safety features which keep me in the lanes if I drift too far one way or another. The only negatives I can say (and they're minor) are the alerts for "take a break" beeping if I hit the lines too often on a longer drive which becomes more and more often unless I stop, I've tried to figure out how to turn that off but haven't figured it out yet. Also the mostly buttonless stereo has taken some getting used to and have realized it's distracted me and taken my eyes off the road a little more than previous vehicles since there's no physical buttons. It's ultimately fine but I just need to get used to it. The windshield also cracked at some point without me even seeing something hitting it (although I'm sure it did) but that was on my first road trip to Texas and randomly noticed it cracked in the middle which I had to get repaired (but couldn't get the crack removed as it had gone through multiple levels of glass), so a nice reminder as I don't want to pay a few thousand to get the windshield replaced for a cosmetic touchup. Overall it's been a great vehicle and it's made my long drives much more bearable then previous vehilcles. 5 out of 5 and probably 9.5 out of 10 if I had the option for 10. Thank you.

Don’t do it!

Recently purchase a new Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy. Less than 400 miles later it’s in the shop. It’s now been in the shop 3 weeks. Second time with similar problem. No resolution.

Happy with my New Sante Fe

Replaced my top end decked out 1998 Toyota 4Runner and I hope to have the experience with the Sante Fe as I did with the icon Toyota! Time will tell as to how it holds up. No buyers remorse at this stage, very pleased with both the purchase process and the vehicle.

Better than Honda

Electronics are difficult to maneuver around, and sinking second operator phone has been impossible. Stated milage per gallon on the hybrid has been overstated. Cannot get past the 28.5 MPG versus the 34+ MPG advertised and presented in sales pitch

Things you will never change

I like the car. But some of the switch olagy is backwards. And or upside down. Things you would think should be easy that are not. Whispers front and back. Why would you make it easier to use the back wiper before the 1 that counts the front. I have more but why. You don't listen.

Excellent value! Love it!

This is my second Hyundai, and the Qlquality of Hyundai vehicles are sane or even better than its Japanese competitors. Overall a really great value. I've had Toyotas, Chrysler, Jeep, and had and have a very high end luxury cars to compare to.

Gas mileage is not as advertised

Pretty car but for the money if Im not going to get the hybrid gas mileage advertised its not worth it. If they lie about that in my opinion I have no faith in the brand.
