Good Vehicle, Weak Customer Experience: Who Owns the Journey?

After more than 20 years as a loyal Toyota owner, I purchased a Hyundai Santa Fe expecting a competitive alternative from a brand that has made impressive strides in design, technology, and value. While the vehicle itself has many strengths, my ownership experience has been marked by customer experience challenges I never encountered during two decades with Toyota. As a globally recognized customer experience professional who has helped Fortune 500 companies create differentiated, world-class customer journeys, what is most frustrating is not that problems occurred, but that many of them were entirely preventable. The issues I encountered point to gaps in process, communication, and ownership of the end-to-end customer experience. This review is offered not merely as criticism, but as feedback from both a customer and a CX practitioner who sees tremendous potential for Hyundai to turn avoidable friction into a competitive advantage.

Great ride & handling.

Some electronic controls are a bit tricky for us older folks. Also, depending on which sub model, electronics & other options are not clear. Owner's manual can be difficult to understand.

It’s what we wanted in a family car

It has everything we needed for long road trips across the US for work.

Very nice 3rd row seating suv

Really good overall. We have already taken it out of town a few times and the lane assist with the steering control makes highway driving amazing.

Best Mid-size SUV

Great size with plenty of room. There is a huge difference in size between the Tucson and the Santa Fe. For a family of 4 it’s the perfect fit. Storage everywhere as well. We got the Limited trim because of the features that come with it. We considered the Calligraphy, but the interior roof covering was a big turn off for us.

Review of SEL

The SEL version does not allow you to adjust safety features , instead you can turn off or use a safety feature No on board wifi No cooling for seats, heated feature for seat works poorly. Seat adjust can be accidentally moved, too sensitive. Gas mileage is poor Wet mats do not civer floor well and hence causes car to get dirty Light color interior design gets dirty fast Makes alot if noise at times Remote start works poorly Controllers for air and heat are a distraction to the driver when driving and should be updated to turn controllers or added to steering wheel when in drive or led display.

A decade of trust in the Hyundai brand

This is the tenth Hyundai I have purchased since 2015. I have nothing but praise for the vehicle, its comfort and reliability are equal to any other vehicle in its class. I routinely drive 1500 miles per week in my sales job and other than tires, fluids I have not experienced any issues

2026 Hyundai Santa Fe

initially the vehicle seems very good, but we will know more about reliability and build quality after a few years driving it. after driving it for 40K or 50K miles is a good time to rate build quality and reliability. i would have left those ratings blank for now but your system does not allow for that
