2025 Santa Fe....very good, but not great

For the most part I enjoy my Santa Fe, but there are a few little quirky things that I dislike about it. The Android Auto is nice, but if I use the regular installed map, it is VERY POOR. When you use the small screen (showing radio station on half) the screen is black with tiny white writing. The media does not always start up when I left it on last drive. There are other quirky things that I have brought to the attention of my service person whose response was "You are not the only person to complain about that." I hated the car when I first bought it, but have learned to adjust to many of the problems I had at first and have come to like it more and more.

Very poor redesign

I wish I still had my 2020 Santa Fe. Nothing is better than in this 2025 model. Infotainment system has glaring flaws. Aural and visual warning systems contradict themselves. The car shape is now boxy and ugly. It accommodates a useless 3rd row of seats. If I needed a 3rd row, I would have bought a Palisade which you redesigned and continue to sell. You forgot to remove the seat and mirror controls from the side doors, which conflict with the new controls in the center console and the computer. The lane centering system routinely disconnects without warning and fails to maintain lane centering on a large road turn. The lift gate had an extra button. I don’t know what it does because you don’t provide an owners manual on line that explains it. Many things are missing from the online manual. I hate this car.

If You're On A Budget, You'll Have To Choose This

Wanted a larger SUV, namely a Highlander, but Toyota's prices are insane. This offers all you'd want, but the transmission is horrible. You rock, you roll, when in you release from Park, or release the brake even on the slightest hill. It's very unsettling. Another thing I hate is the center console screen. BRING BACK THE KNOBS! You must take your eyes off of the road to find the image that represents the action you're looking for and your finger smudges make it nearly impossible to locate should the sun be shining on the screen. Horrible design.

Great mid size SUV with a 3 row ,fits our needs great !

Great size SUV for our needs ! The view from the moment you sit in the driver's seat is great ! Big front window small side pillars gives you a panoramic view of the road! Seats are very comfortable and feel great for being fake leather! We don't need the 3rd often but it is nice to have when needed for short trips ! The 2nd row is fantastic lots of space and leg room and very comfortable ,you feel like your in a full size SUV in the 2nd row one of the best things about the 2025 Santa Fe! The paddle shift on the steering wheel for the transmission is useless don't understand why! The rearview outside side mirrors are to small ,they need to be bigger and boxier for a better rear and side view! The safety features are great , the rear view back up camera is very clear and a nice size screen, I'm not one for technology but there is a lot in the Santa Fe that takes some time to learn to use at least for me! The rear cargo area works great for our needs. Overall the road noise wile driving is very quiet,sound quality from the radio is great . I did have 2 mechanical problems 1 was minor which was front end needed an alignment in less then 5000 miles from new which was not covered by warranty ! And the 2nd was engine needed a fuel injector which was backordered and took just shy of 4 weeks to fix covered by warranty and dealer provided us with an almost new lowner SUV that was fine with us . The engine has some pep and has no problem when needing to pass someone on the highway ! It is a turbo charged engine so there is a slight delay in the gas pedal from a stop ! All in all very happy with the Hyundai Santa Fe XRT and would highly recommend it .

So glad I purchased it!

At first I wasn’t crazy about the shape because I had a 2023 Santa Fe, but I bit the bullet and purchased my 2025 and am totally in love with it.

Problemas constantes en Santa fe hyundai

Basado en mi experiencia el carro Santa Fe tiene muchos problemas eléctricos que agotan su batería y aunque por dentro tiene un buen confort yo no lo volvería a comprar

My Hyundai Santa Fe

Isn’t as quiet as I thought it would be. Not even 2 years old and there’s a squeaky noise from the rear frame area when I brake at slow speeds but it’s not brake squeaking noise.
