Santa Fe XRT off road

I got the XRT expecting an off road capable vehicle. I took it on one easy trail, it did good in the soft dirt and loose gravel once I put it in the all wheel drive mode. There was a slightly more complicated part, I am not knocking down stars because of the capability. It preformed beyond expectations, I am knocking down stars due to the cheap materials used on the lower side trims. It cracked easily and does not hold up to any type of pressure. I went to the dealership to see how much the replacement prices were and they were ridiculously expensive. The front bumper alone was $3000. That is absolutely crazy considering this was marketed as an off road capable vehicle. People are going to crack and break those trim pieces and you guys are charging over 10% of the vehicle cost to get the pieces. I am capable of swapping the pieces myself to save on labor but it is still quoted at around 7k for all the pieces. Hyundai does not offer any type of lift kit, the push guard is completely inadequate and does not protect anything, nor is there any type of skid plate. I do not want this to be all bad, the all wheel drive is amazing, the tow capacity is great, and the stock tires are a great addition. The hand holds are super convenient and I love them. I am looking forward to more trips with it but without the additions of the above mentioned add ons I do not think I will be keeping this vehicle long term.

Silver Sante Fe Calligraphy

At first I really liked this car, but I bought it during the winter and it was cold out so it had great power. Once it got warm out I noticed there's a considerable lag when taking off. I've put 34,000 miles on in the first year, and I've gone through 2 windshields already. One windshield i can understand but 2? Also both windshields were Hyundai windshields. Then my tires went bad, not Hyundais fault but they chose the tire. The foam inside for sound dampening broke loose in 2 of my tires causing it to shake really bad. The dealer tried to tell me I needed new tires I told them its only a year old, and they needed to figure it out. In the end they removed the foam from my tires and the shake is gone while driving. The brakes however are warped and cause the car to shake when applying the brakes. Overall rather disappointed in this vehicle.

The Best Of The Best

I luv my Santa Fe. It is one of the best driving, best handling, most comfortable automobiles I have owned. So much more as standard equipment that others offer as options for more money.

Quirky Things

There are a few things that make this vehicle, not perfect. A main issue is that there is a safety feature that monitors your eyes. If you have sunglasses on, it will continue to indicate that you are not looking at the road and will turn off your cruise control. You cannot override this feature, which is unfortunate. On the dash, the control panel is just lights. When it is bright out, it is difficult to see if the lights/controls are on. This is especially difficult with the heated seat controls and the fan control. Even adjusting the dash lights does not make this brighter.

Rides Great

Our 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Caligraphy has proven to be an excellent vehicle. The ride is smooth and quiet, and the almost-panoramic front windshield makes it very easy to see the road!

Unreliable & Unsafe

Traded in a 2024 Santa fe AWD gas due to transmission issues. 2025 also exhibited intermittent transmission issues that couldn't be “duplicated” at dealership until they miraculously got it approved for a transmission replacement after 9 months, 14,800 miles after the state lemon law expired and Hyundai refused to repurchase vehicle because of lack of proper documentation. Still going through motions to have the vehicle re purchased meanwhile making car payments and full cover insurance when the car is still at dealership because I feel it’s unsafe to continue to operate.
