Great solid performance

Love my PHEV which is the best of both worlds. Can do routine daily short trips on battery (<30 miles) and longer trips with gasoline (Hybrid).

Santa Fe hybrid

The Santa Fe hybrid is very fuel efficient and easy to drive, with good acceleration, and is very comfortable.

Fuel Efficient

The car is very economical. We regularly charge it. The car is what you'd expect in this range cheap plastic and cloth seats. Windscreen cracked from the cold the first time we took it to the snow. This has never happened on any previous vehicle. Ford Escape, BMW X5 & X1, Volvo XC90

Would have been a great car if a recall would have been done.

I loved my car even with the issues from day one that ultimately lead to being deemed unrepairable. As the last thing that was done is replacing the trailer harness that I was originally told my vehicle didn’t have and at that point, so much damage had been done it was still not repaired.

Beacon Falls Fan

For the most part I really like the vehicle and the fuel milage is terrific (50mil/gal averaging), however would really like a larger battery that travels longer than 29 miles, should be 30, the batter never fully charges to 100%. I guess that is why the plug-in version of EV vehicle has been discontinued.

Love my plug/in Santa Fe

Comfy, well designed, live 30m EV! Had trouble with starting after it had sat several days, but an awesome repair department figured out the issue.

Nice vehicle

Should have the following, 1.) where the charge port is there should be an inside led light to make hook up easier. 2.) on rear hatch should also be a button to lock the vehicle as on the 2024 has.

Very disappointed in throttle hesitancy; horrible media performance.

A dangerous car that should be recalled with a class action lawsuit. The transmission and throttle response, where the system cannot decide where the power is coming from, has dangerous hesitant tendencies that could cause a serious accident. The infotainment system is horrible. No aux jack, and the system refuses to even recognize most external sources such as a portable CD player. Also, a flash drive with individual playlists are not recognized, and the system usually plays songs in random order. The only way to order the system to act coherently is by one long list of audio pieces that will only play in reverse order to how they were created on a computer. There is not even an option to choose a reverse order so it can finally play the list in order. This horrible system would have been a deal breaker if I knew it was this bad. And the interior styling is horrible. The passenger dash looks like a woman's vanity table and is useless. The headlight styling is the ugliest I ever saw. Why not make a utility vehicle more masculine?

Great car for this price point

This car has a lot of features at this price point mechanically it seems very sound as well. I have had a couple of minor electrical issues but no major issues of any kind. The automation is good. The interior features and interior design are both fantastic

Unsafe safety features

The safety features on the care make it less safe

It’s a vehicle.

It does what it needs to do. It’s comfortable for the family to ride in. I think my disappointment is mostly that the last PHEV I had was way more efficient and I had more control over when the EV could be used.

It’s a good car for the money

I’m don’t love the finishes in this as much as I loved my Palisade. It feels louder and not nearly as high end. I love the gas mileage and it ya a solid little car in terms of safety features and cameras based on the competitive options.

It’s fairly good

Basically, it’s a good auto. It’s easy drive but could do with a little more power. The only anoiance that I get is the occasional message that I get on the dash screen that usually corrects itself before I have to do anything. The only big complaint that I have is the dealerships. I have had trouble with two different dealerships trying to rip me off.

Very happy with this car, no major complaints

This car does everything I expected it to, and it does it well. If i were to list any minor complaints, it would be these: 1) The backup signal is absurdly loud, wakes up everyone in the house, and probably a few neighbors too. 2) The EV/HEV button doesn't seem to really do anything, it would be nice to be able to switch to a realistic all-electric mode when the battery is charged.
