Solid vehicle for family and great gas mileage

The Hyundai Santa Fe offers a luxurious feel and features comparable to much more expensive vehicles, making it an excellent value for the money. It’s a solid family SUV with plenty of space, comfort, and great gas mileage. The main drawback is the underpowered engine, which could use more horsepower and acceleration. Overall, it’s a great vehicle for the price, especially for families looking for comfort and practicality without spending luxury-car money. I haven’t owned it long enough to fairly evaluate its long-term reliability.

absolutely love everything that comes with my Santa fe hybrid.

I cant say enough how happy I am with my vehicle. As a family of four and me being semi picky about what I wanted. The Santa Fe Hybrid was everything I wanted and needed. my only complaint is the Hybrid battery is not large enough and I can not plug in if I wanted to.

Verdict Pending

Overall, I like the vehicle. We had some hiccups with the technology that we had to figure out on our own, like another vehicle was tied to our app.

New car

Overall pleased with the vehicle pleased with the Customer Service and the warranty. Not so pleased about the build quality/quality control. Few items seem to get through QC with poor fitment.

Lots of bang for the buck

This vehicle was selected for technology and features than for style, although I really like the style. The 2026 Santa Fe Calligraphy Hybrid has a lot of things to love. I like customization, and this vehicle has it: great technology, roomy and comfortable, beautiful inside and out, room for everything, great Bose sound (important), great mpg, and most important to me, the only vehicle in this price range that will move by itself in and out of parking spaces, if needed.

Nice car but uncomfortable front seats

This is my 4th Santa Fe so I’m accustomed to driving them. I got the Calligraphy this time expecting a high degree of comfort. However I’ve discovered that the driver’s seat is very uncomfortable as there is a hard lump on the seat itself that presses straight into the bottom of the coccyx and ischium. No seat adjustments have worked to eliminate it. I am using a thick cushion to make it feel tolerable but I won’t be taking this car on long rides unfortunately.

Great overall, but holding back on a few key details

Overall, it is a fantastic car, but a few specific issues keep it from being truly great. There are too many redundant buttons duplicated across the center stack, steering wheel, and deep menu settings that feel unnecessary, while frequently used features cannot be customized or mapped properly—most notably, you cannot adjust the navigation map zoom directly from the steering wheel. Additionally, the doors feel too light and lack a solid heft. Finally, under harder acceleration, the engine revs loudly and makes a lot of noise that does not match the actual power or speed delivered. Pros: Great comfort, modern tech, excellent cabin space, and stylish design. Cons: Redundant controls, lack of shortcut customization (like steering wheel map zoom), lightweight doors, loud engine revving under hard acceleration.
