Radar

We love so many of the features of our Santa Fe. The size, the comfort and the space. However, the issue with the radar that goes off DUR ING rain is quite frustrating. The alert goes off and on during those times all the time. When we asked about it at our service appointment we were told that this is a design flaw and there is no fix. How can there be no fix? In an auto that is this expensive and to be so safe, this is what we get? If that was fixed I would give it 10 on everything. But this design flaw affects the whole review.

An Excellent Choice

The Santa Fe Hybrid is an excellent vehicle. The mileage is great, over 550 miles on a tank. I really like the space, the captains chairs are both comfortable, and a beautiful look. I am a fan of the color scheme with the wood, tan, and black interior as well as the blackout exterior. Very sleek looking. Storage is excellent. I purchased third party mud guards, rain guards, and floor mats, and roof racks. As well as a clear protector on the front of the car to protect from rock chips. The lower and controls in the rear of the vehicle make storing, and hauling a lot easier. Some feedback: Road noise is average for non-luxury vehicles. I'd like either a design change to improve that, or an ability to upgrade to cancel out road noise, and have a quieter ride. It's not the tires. My 2019 Mazda was a bit more quiet. The hybrid engine is great for efficiency, but is not the smoothest when transitioning gears. We also have a 2025 Kia Sportage SX Prestige. The gear change is much smoother. I have noticed that in a hard acceleration, the gear changes more hesitatingly. None of these are worthy or removing a star, and didn't sway me from my purchase. Just thoughts. I really like this car, zero regrets and no remorse. Ask me again in 5 years.

Solid car with great features for the price

The car is solid and has great features for the price. I am not getting the mileage on the sticker but very good mileage overall.

Not as happy as I thought I would be

Sometimes when I start off going uphill, the transmission feels like it slips and then catches. The other thing that drives me crazy is when I have it cruise control and steering assist or self drive mode, the keep your eyes on the road comes on frequently even when I make sure that I have been watching the road.

no tow hooks

wrong to sell n SUV vehicle without the ability to be towed a few feet to get unstuck in snow or mud. I would not have purchased the 2026 had I known there were no tow hooks.

Very good buy

Very happy with the car. I'd be happier if there was a few things different like on the radio as well as the memory driver setting. Also if the cameras had memory for traffic accidents and such.

Best new car I’ve ever purchased of 10+ lifetime cars!

I love everything about the new Santa Fe. We upgraded from the 2019 version for the benefit of the 3rd row (grandchildren!) and the space is perfect. Lots of road trips already, and the highway driving is so comfortable for driver and passenger. Love the gas mileage and all of the safety features too.

2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Caligraphy Hybrid

Overall I love the vehicle. There are a few things I would change if I were able. 1) Not being familiar with how quiet Hybrids are it would be nice if when you turned vehicle off it would display ENGINE OFF for a few minutes on display screen. 2) Backup lights are extremely dim. 3) I've had issues with the Smart Sense - Drver Assist turning off on its own. 4) When backing up or pulling into a parking spot the camera view of the vehicles or objects to either side of vehicle are extremely distorted and can be very confusing. 4) It would be nice to have a little storage in front of phone charger platform to store glasses. 5) it would be nice to have the windshield tinted.
