Easy + Comfy

This is my second Hyundai, first Hyundai SUV. It's not eye-catching, but it is thoughtfully designed. I especially love the interior design and comfort. In an auto world where everything requires complex screen navigation, I appreciate the panel of buttons for frequent access. Reliable, roomy, economical. Provides just about everything I need in an auto!

Very happy with the choice

Very happy with the choice we made. It drives and handle well. Here are some things for improvement. 1. We really did not like the color choices. The blue was not even blue but another shade of grey. We want a color that does not blend in with every otter color in the parking lot. 2. Some time the warning lights go on randomly and stay on until one turns off and on the car. This seem to have most when the on button is pushed quickly at first. There should be an easy means to have it to a reset check to see what warning lights should be on. 3. The child safety lock is too easily pushed on the drivers door side. It often gets push by mistake when one is trying to open/shut windows or lock/unlock door without looking. 4. The display should always show what mode one is in (electric / gas). 5. The range of 30 miles is of course nice a longer range would be better. 6. The same way the hybrid battery is recharge through breaking, etc, the battery driving the electric mode should get recharged the same way once the hybrid batters is fully charged. 7. The automatic driving mode pulls the car uncomfortably close when the car in front stops. We have never hit but it comes much closer than necessary. 8. One should be able to connect the phone via blue tooth not just to use the phone feature but to use the navigation feature connectivity

Make this vehicle again, Hyundai

The 2023 Santa Fe PHEV is a reasonably stylish, user-friendly SUV with a great solution to efficiency and energy sustainability. This practical, comfortable and good looking vehicle delivers 80MPG for a typical local commuter, with great technology, features and comfort. The PHEV provides very low emissions commuting with 30 mile EV range, supplemented by seamless conversion to high efficiency hybrid driving for longer ranges. The car looks nice, drive well and is well appointed, with the possible exception of cheaper seat materials. Hyundai should not walk away from the PHEV platform, and should create a car with styling and appointments similar to the 2023 Santa Fe. The departure from this to the new Santa Fe, with no PHEV option, is disappointing.

Nice car but a bit disappointing

Overall nice car just some disappointing pieces such as the electric piece. Range is only 30 miles on electric but while there are several buttons to choose electric mode, it is not always available and/or will randomly switch out of electric mode even when there is still plenty of battery.

2023 Santa Fe Plug In Hybrid Rating

Great vehicle overall, drives well, rides well. We've only had 2 issues with the car in 3 years: 1) Exploding sun/moon roof glass - covered by warranty. This is a known problem and there is/was a class-action lawsuit regarding this issue. For us, it has been resolved. 2) Oil plug gasket failure 8 days after our 48,000 mile service. Happened on a lenghty road trip, unfortunately. This issue has also been nearly resolved... in fact, I am at the dealership today for a final inspection due to some water seeping/leaking from under the car for some reason?

My First PHEV

this has been a great entry into the world of electric vehicles. Around town, I can average over 80 equivalent mpg. It would be nice if the electric only mileage was a bit more that just 30 miles so I could get to the ski area that is 35 miles away and back on almost one charge. I bought the Sante Fe partly because of the higher ground clearance and AWD and 4 WD locking for driving in deep snow. I'm not sure the 19" tires are necessary $$$$ and would like narrower tires for snow travel. Also, the cabin space accommodates my skis in winter and fly rods in Summer. Overall, a great vehicle.

Very pleased with my purchase

First EV hybrid plug in experience. Car makes a hybrid whine that took a while to accept as normal. I get @50mpg on the freeway with a full tank of gas and a fully charged plug in battery. Lot of space for 4 people and luggage. Comfortably ride. Lots of safety messages on the dashboard. Car interior feel up scaled.

Too many issues

The car was great in the first few months but soon there were many issues that came up. Hyundai is the least helpful when it comes to solving any of the issues.

The hyundai is a nice vehicle. As someone who who only wants his car to be dependable and reliable it hits the mark. The battery life of the hybrid could be better.Ghe interface for the radio is messy but the performance of the car is good.
