Glad we bought it.

The longer we own it, the more we love it. It coverts from luxe to sport in seconds and we are learning to trust the tech features. We are excited to leave on a trip to Canada in a few weeks. Glad we bought it.

It's still too new to tell

I'm still learning all the bells & whistles of this vehicle. I have yet to do much highway driving--next week will be the BIG test. So far, I am very happy! I only wish the vehicle had been better prepared for delivery. Most of the protective film and stickers were still on the vehicle, the windshield still had the suction cup marks on the front windshield. Not sure if this an acceptable practice for Florida, it isn't for Maine.

Good quality for the price.

I love the features and the livable loan. The safety is helpful in traffic. Yesterday I was driving in traffic. The traffic stopped suddenly. The warning sound came on. And I stopped. A accident would have occurred. Loading items in the rear is easy w the 2nd row seat buttons to make them go down.

Kept it 3 months and traded it in.

I went back to Toyota just 3 months after purchasing a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy. It died the very first morning and I was unable to even open the doors to access the car. Later found out from forums, it was because of the app. Deleted the app and all worked after that.

Great interior

I chose the 2025 Santa Fe because it has a third row seat. But I got a lot more than that. The dove gray interior is bright and beautiful. It drives like a dream and I feel extremely safe due to 360 camera system. I expect it to be very reliable based on my experience owning a Hyundai Palisade. My reason for the 4 star rather than 5 star rating is the trouble I had getting Bluelink connected. It took 3 months to remedy the problem.

Meeting or Exceeding Expectations! The styling is great! I have the black with tan interior. Plenty of room, great technology and a pleasure to drive. I am getting 31 mpg, mostly highway, but I expected better but have come to realize the mileage efficiency increases after 10k mileage break-in period and also I would actually get closer to the claimed 38 mpg if I were doing more local mileage and leverage the battery more. Overall, great car!

Santa Fe 2025

Excellent warranty on the 2025 Santa Fe hybrid. Rough transition when going from electric to gas. Rear exterior of the car is an ugly box but the front looks sharp. Difficult to get in and out of the 3rd row seats unless you go in and out through the lift gate.

Nice quiet and smooth ride. Huge amount of features for the money.

I don't like the eye sensor when the cruise is engaged. While wearing polarized sunglasses, and the sun is low, the warning sounds all the time. This is the most annoying feature in this car. This must be fixed by Hyundai fast. Because of this I hesitate recommending this vehicle. Paint is soft and not as durable as my RAV4. Many paint chips.

Wonderfully appointed, excellent ride, finicky tech

I truly do love this car. I got all the bells and whistles and I love it. Only complaint is that some of the tech is not very intuitive, some features I wish I could turn off and make them stay off but the settings reset as soon as the car is turned off. Love the color availability on both exterior and interiors, mpg is great, seats are comfortable, love the app. Love love love.

Well worth the money.

Love the SEL. Ride is smooth, cabin is quiet. I know a lot of reviews state the gas mileage isn’t what the manufacturer . states but I get 36MPG. One complaint, don’t like the touch screen climate controls. They function very well. Hard to use while driving though without taking your eyes off the road. Screen does make a sound when a button is touched but you still have to look to ensure you pushed the right button.

EPA Gas mileage hasn't been what they advertised. Unhappy with that!

Nice vehicle in many ways. Been dissatisfied with MPG on the highway. Lucky to get 26-28, far cry from 34-35 as advertised. The dealership has gone through all systems and test drove and got an average of 28 MPG is best they could get. They have just said needs to be elevated to Corporate level. Recently I have been getting much better in town-as advertised, but haven't taken a long trip yet but average MPG still lacks was was advertised and the reason I purchased over many other manufacturers!

This vehicle is a 10.

Our Santa Fe is fun to drive, very comfortable, and looks great. This is the third Hyundai we have owned, and they have all been excellent vehicles. Hyundai is an amazing brand and I would recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely in LOVE!!!

We are over the moon with the purchase of our 2025 Santa Fe Calligraphy Hybrid. It's such a smooth ride and drive! It's my daily driver and i'm absolutely amazed at how well it does on gas. I've never had a vehicle do so well on gas mileage. To top it off, the upgrades in this vehicle make it such a luxurious experience.

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe - Best Car EVER

This is my favorite car that I have ever owned! First and foremost, the safety features are superb! That was my #1 goal, to get a vehicle that I feel safe in since I drive a lot for work in a busy city! The electronics in this car are user friendly, stereo system is very nice with Bose speakers; I LOVE my two sun/moon roofs! The car is so smooth and quiet, excellent gas mileage, especially for the size of the car! I can't say enough about this vehicle, I LOVE IT!

This is my favorite car I have ever owned

I compared the Santa Fe hybrid to the hybrid versions of the Toyota Hylander, the Honda Pilot, the Subaru Tribeca, and the Ford Explorer and every time I came back to the Santa Fe as the better car for comfort, ride, features, and value. Now that I own it, I’m loving my choice.

The 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid is an excellent vehicle choice

I appreciate how the vehicle shifts between engine and electric with no noticeable sounds or hesitation. I have yet to achieve the EPA listed mileage but it is very close and hasn’t had its first oil change yet. I wanted to have a vehicle the seated a minimum of six passengers which this does. My only concern is the lack of cargo space when all six passengers are seated. I also think a spare tire should have been offered with the Hybrid option, even if it was an upgrade option. No vehicle is perfect, but this one is really a great choice for our family.

Roomy, comfortable, not as efficient as hoped

The Santa Fe Hybrid Limited HTRAC is a very nice SUV. We drove it to MT right after buying and looped around through WA then back down to CA and averaged 29 mpg at an average speed of 70-75. It wasnt bad in the snow at Leavenworth, WA but not terrific this was probably due to the all season tires, winter tires would have helped considerably It was comfortable for the long ride, handled well and the limited edition provided nice to have options. All in all for the price of 50K we are reasonably happy. This is our second Hyundai as I drive the Elantra Hybrid as my commuter car. The lack of a spare and a missing tire inflator caused us issues with a flat in Salt Lake City.
