So Far...so (REALLY) GOOD!

We are really happy with all aspects of our 2026 Santa Fe (Limited). There are , of course, several items that should/should be better, but they aren't deal killers in the slightest. The big positives are build quality and style both inside and out. All the electronics are well done and the space is impressive while still maintaining easy driving and maneuvering. And there is the great long-term warranties. The most obvious shortcoming is the lack of initial burst of speed from stop. The gas tank is surprisingly small (17 gallons?), but it is a better functioning "turn off when stopped" feature that helps get mileage up to (disappointing) 21 MPG vs. rated at 24 MPG. There is another problem with managing the engine that comes if you stop the car short of intended stop point (like parking in the garage). The car doesn't idle forward from stop making it difficult to navigate a short distance move since the car leaps ahead when it engages. This vehicle compares favorable to the older 8 cyl. high end Mercedes that it replaced other than engine power. Hoping for good experience with durability (especially with engine) as we add miles. Really like driving this car!

Beautiful car

The Santa Fe is hands down a wonderful car. All the safety features and all the bells and whistles are amazing. It’s taken me sometime to get used to all the features and I’m sure there may be a few I haven’t discovered yet. The interior is very high quality and the seating is so comfortable. The 3rd row is perfect for our dogs and friends when traveling. The only thing that I can say that I don’t like about it is all the beeping from all the cameras this car has. Trust me, it’s just a matter of getting used to it because it really keeps you paying attention to your surroundings and possible hazards. The sound system is great with excellent sound quality from all the Bose speakers. We haven’t gone on a long trip yet so we shall see how that goes when we do that. Gas mileage is around 26-28 mpg which is good for the size and structure of the vehicle.

Loving my Santa Fe!!!

Wasn't expecting to like it. Certainly wasn't expecting to love it. But let me tell you, I love it. It is the SEL and it has the perfect features for me. There is nothing I am wanting that this vehicle doesn't already have. I am a big guy and it is incredibly comfortable. It is smooth, quiet, and has plenty of power. Combined with a great buying experience and customer service and I feel like I won the lottery.

Old Dog New Tricks

I've been driving for 60 years, the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe diverts too much from my driving comfort. I have a problem conforming to the transmission twist lever, I do not like the idle start/stop features as it makes the engine rumble. I only drive 4,000 miles a year so fuel savings are minimal. The steering drift control is annoying as it keeps pulling at the steering wheel. Too much technology change for me. I am trading it in for a Subaru Ascent as it does not have idle start/stop and retains a standard console transmission shifter.

Good truck

It seems like a good truck so far. Doesn't get the fuel mileage they advertised. The electronics are always buzzing at you and making noises. The 3rd row seating fabric latch cable already retracted inside it and it needs to go back for warranty repair. Hopefully other than that it runs good for a long time. We are happy with it.

Radom issues the dealer can't fix

My car is comfortable but has random issues that the dealer just dismisses and it concerns me for the future of the new car and all of the "glitches"

Some of the new tech is not very user friendly

The simple things seem to have become less simple. I have been driving my 2026 Santa Fe Calligraphy for 4 1/2 months now. Both myself and my wife have had issues with turning off the vehicle. You think its off, but its actually in accessory mode. So it sits in the garage on accessory until I happen to go out there. Also, when I purchased the vehicle I was not given any instructions on the various features.
