My “Fe”

Mostly she is a great car, but after having an Ioniq 5 for several years I have been disappointed in the software in the infotainment.

Do it - Buy the Santa Fe

LOVE my vehicle. I feel spoiled every time I drive it. Drives amazing, handles great and has every bell/whistle you can think of. Fuel economy is outstanding which is a must with gas prices this high.

Great car!

I love almost every aspect of the car. The design, the drive, the ride, etc. The gas mileage was over-estimated, but it’s still better than my all gas SUV used to get. I don’t love the shifter, but I like that the center is so spacious and usable.

Overall, fairly happy

On the whole, I’ve been happy with this vehicle. I have a few gripes so far: one is reaching advertised MPG (even when following all best-practices for hybrids) and the other is climate control for second and third rows. The trouble hitting advertised MPG is something I was aware of going in, so not too surprised. But I rarely hit a 30 mpg average in spite of nearly all my driving being city driving in eco mode. The climate control for second and third rows is enormously frustrating - second row has only side vents, they seem far weaker than the front vents, and they’re not separately controlled. Even worse, the third row has no climate control - just a fan with its own control, which can be helpful in the summer but completely useless in the winter.

​Quiet Commanding Presence: From Downtown Ballgames to the Mountains

The matte Ecotronic Gray finish gives the Santa Fe a quiet commanding presence, seamlessly transitioning from the tight parking garages of a downtown ballgame to the rugged, dusty trailheads of northern Arizona. Inside, the massive cabin offers plenty of room to pack up sports gear for practice or load up camping supplies for a family weekend getaway without ever feeling cramped. Combined with intuitive, cutting-edge tech that handles long road trips with total ease, it delivers the perfect balance of rugged utility, premium comfort, and everyday functionality.

Good points and things needed for improvement

Driver seat is uncomfortable when driving long distance, mud flaps are to small the rear hatch and tail lights get extremely dirty! The finger print recognition for the radio hardly ever works

Refreshing

I was desperate to get out of my newer, Volkswagen Tiguan that I bought brand new, hoping it was going to last me a very long time. Fast Forward a few years and the car was a lemon, and I was desperate to get into something I could actually feel comfortable driving that would give me the warranty and quality that I deserved. Got into my brand new 2026 Santa Fe and I feel refreshed and I feel like I am covered inside and out.

Santa Fe review

I like the vehicle overall but there are a few disappointments. The headlights on low beam are not safe in areas without extra lighting and the heating and air conditioning system doesn’t work well.

Average

I like the sporty look of my vehicle. Its my first hybrid, all what is behind a hybrid was unbeknownst to me. I would not by another hybrid. Safety features are over the top but become somewhat annoying.

Great Ride with terrific extended mileage

My Hybrid Santa Fe is so easy to operate, smooth transition between EV and motor. My trips have extended by range between fill ups to over 500 miles. Very roomy interior with attention to detail. I recommend the heads up display windshield, keeps your eyes on the road watching traffic. Great value for what I paid. I look forward to getting in my new car every day!

I wish we knew . . .

If only we knew not to buy the Calligraphy. We may have been happier with the Limited trim. The biggest disappointment is the lack of "old school" cruise control. The adaptive cruise control is the only option and it is way overrated. We have never had an adaptive cruise control this "non realistic." Worse, it wasn't clear one could switch it off and use normal cruise! Even the dealership didn't know it! Secondly the software is buggy. For example, at times, radio, CarPlay, feedback volume shuts down. Thank God for Google! It's a known bug with a known fix. Even the seat recall isn't consistent. I wouldNOT recommend Calligraphy.

This is not relevant

The car is getting great mileage (as expected). It is surprisingly comfortable, quiet and fun to drive. I hate the electronics. I have almost lost control twice trying to get the screen controls set. These touch screens and you should definitely go back to analog knobs and dials. So far, this is the only disappointing feature of this car. I think is is quite silly to not have a spare tire as your tire repair kit is inadequate in remote situations. I added a real spare tire as an aftermarket, but bought the spare tire from a tire shop as the Hyundai setup was unjustifiably expensive.
