Happy for Santa Fe but wish I had gone to higher trim level

I really like the vehicle. Has very smooth drive and handles great. Minor complaints with flexibility of infotainment screen on my trim level plus wish it was a bit faster off the line by using more hybrid power.

Good Gas Mileage But - Beware - It has Issues

Upgraded from 2021 Santa Fe to the 2026 Hybrid model. Comfortable ride, roomy, upscale interior with the Calligraphy model, lots of tech. But...Beware! The powertrain has issues and steering wanders and is vague. 1. Powertrain: From cold start the drivetrain shudders, shakes and vibrates - quite noticeably. Not a slight vibration but a shudder that makes one wonder and concerned that something is serious wrong under the hood. Once driven for a quarter to half mile the shudder subsides. There is also a noticeable shudder and vibration between 50 - 60 mph. Highway driving can be unpleasant under this condition! 2. Steering: The vehicle drifts to the right causing the driver to hold it to the left to keep the vehicle straight. When braking the vehicle pulls to the right - so hold on and recenter! Took it into the dealer's service department who stated the is a TSB on this issue. Supposedly the service department adjusted the steering to the specs of the TSB, but it still drifts and pulls to the right. So....I have to schedule another service visit for a vehicle with 1500 miles on the odometer! The steering is vague - meaning it "wanders" in the lane. Drifts right, then wanders after having corrected for the drift. The lane-keeping feature makes it worse with a side-to-side wander between the lane markers. Hyundai....PLEASE FIX THESE ISSUES!!! 3. Tech: The fingerprint and password features are an annoyance. While interesting at first, every time the vehicle is driven, the driver has to either place a finger on the reader and/or enter their password. Both these features have been disabled after having experienced the annoyance. I get the idea, but I just want to start the vehicle and drive without going through a security sequence. BTW....Consumer Reports got their review wrong! Or they need to retest the 2026 model! I purchased based upon their review!

First impressions of my new Santa Fe

Overall a decent ride, lacks some off the line power. Ride is smooth and the interior is very nice.

Very pleased with the Santa Fe Hybrid

I purchased this car as my retirement vehicle. It is the most expensive car I have ever purchased, but I am already seeing savings at the gas pumps, and it is by far the most comfortable vehicle I’ve ever owned.
