Nice car but a lot of road noise in rear.

Nice car but as I said it is way to noise in the rear of the car and from what I hear the factory knows it. I would like to buy a new car but before it goes out of dealer there will some insulation done.

N/a

I like the gas mileage on the car however I often have to reset my radio computer as the screen sometimes stops working or the volume won’t work. My backup camera keeps messing up showing static on it but truthfully I haven’t been able to get to shop. The seats aren’t the comfiest but the material is 10/10 for cleaning. I love how I can put my car in smart mode to drive and it maintains good speed. I like that you can keep your beepers one without lane assist. Lane assist on one lane roads sometimes tries to throw you off the road. The touch lock on the outside works sometimes and sometimes doesn’t. The app connected is 10/10 when it’s working! The safety features are nice. I wish the engine would’ve had a stronger engine because it struggles to pick up speed on the interstate without feeling like it struggles. Overall navigation is good and I enjoy it as a first time car buyer. However I do not think I would buy it again. It will depend how long it lasts in the future after reaching 100,000 miles.

Good family car

The Santa Fe is a roomy, reliable SUV. There is plenty of space for hauling, especially with the second row folded down. Rear doors open wide for ease of entry. It has comfortable seating for 5 passengers. Great fuel efficiency!

My Red SUV

I like my Santa Fe overall. I don't like that I have to push a button every time I start the engine in order to bypass the energy saver engine mode. I don't like this mode because it causes the system to "pause" when I put on the gas from a stop sign or red light. There should be a way to turn the energy saver off permanently. I feel it is not only a nuisance but also a hazard.

Not pleased with engine noise when accelerating

also own a 2020 not nearly as noisy and RPMs raise significantly when going up hills at hwy speed with cruise control on. Previously owned a 2013 which also did not have the noise that the 2023 cae does

Not Terrible

Interior changes from the 2019 were not well thought out and made the car less comfortable. Also mileage was disappointing getting less mileage on the highway than at slower speeds. Electronics had some issues but were corrected.

Comfortable and reliable

All my Hyundai experience during the last 25 years are great. Long lasting cars and the safety features are top of the line. I had no issues with my Hyundai vehicles, are comfortable, teliable, and fun to drive.

Handel's great and I great warranty!

Bought it for the great warranty, but love how it drives. Very dependable and comfortable car. I will purchase same car brand next time! Compared to my last car there is a little bit more road noise but for 8000 grand less and 3 times the warranty is can live with that.

Very pleased

Roomy with plenty of pep. Very good gas mileage yet ample power to merge when needed. Comfortable and fun to drive. Only drawback is you can’t see the “heads up display” if wearing polarized sun glasses.

I love my '23 Santa Fe Caligraphy

This is my first non-American car brand purchase, and I couldn't be happier. From convenience features like the steering wheel heater, seat heater, and most-importantly, the seat air conditioner, this car is the bomb. Safety features like the rear camera and lane assist make life easier and safer. I love the bright red color and wide sun roof for the sporty feel of this car. You guys knocked it out of the park on this one!

Glad I purchased the vehicle.

Bought the car because of its overall exterior styling, the upscale interior styling and the cargo space. It has not disappointed on these items. Know a next generation vehicle was coming out and did not particularly like the styling of the upcoming model.

Overall,, vehicle performs well.

Vehicle is too small for my husband and I. Our mistake. Button to close rear hatch is too low for short people. Ride is not as smooth as expected. Turn radius isn’t tight enough. In sum, we should have chosen a larger model. Thanks.

Unreliable

My vehicle is a 2023 and has already had multiple major repairs which is not acceptable for a car that new. It has 63K miles, so the most recent issue is not covered. First the compressor went in 2024 - not even a year old then an issue with the engine. That means I purchased I will never purchase a Santa Fe again with the engine was not covered. These cars are supposed to be able to go for a lot longer with greater miles and be reliable. None of that is true

Very reliable

Long distance driving comfortable. Has great pick up. My husband complains seat doesn't go low enough for him to get in on passenger side. Wish the coffee holder area in side door was pouched out more to accommodate cups better. Perfect for me.

Vehicle has performed well

The car has performed well. I have also received good service and support from Billion Auto--Hyundai in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. My one concern is that the passenger side post is situated in such a way as to cause a blind spot when wanting to turn right.

Nice car.

The car is nice- drives very well, great mpg. It's comfortable for the most part. I do not like the way the infotainment system works nor the controls for the HVAC. It befuddles me that I have to search for the fan controls (especially considering they are not lighted) and the drive mode is a dial that is not only lit, but is big as day. It's frustrating searching high and low to change basic functions on the infotainment system. The display size seems a tad too small. I abhor emergency braking- it happens more times than not to where it is absolutely not needed causing fear for me (the actual driver)! I needed a new car because of my commute to work. This is my 3rd Santa Fe, and had I known what I know about this car now, I wish I would have kept my older Santa Fe.

Overall the vehicle is fantastic

Although somewhat larger than my previous Hyundai Sport, I love the storage compartments in the rear. I dislike the paddle shifters but love the smoothness of the ride and all amenities of my Limited

Nice Quiet Comfortable Ride

I like the styling better than the new body, so I am glad we bought when we did. When shopping for a new vehicle, the things important to us were all satisfied by the Hyundai Santa Fe at the best price point. Our criteria were based on long distance travel. Smooth ride, adjustable lumbar support, quiet, handles well. My only disappointment is in the safety/convenience technology. My position is that a convenience feature is only a feature if it works 100% of the time. Short of that it is just an aggravation. The two most prominent examples of this are the rear hatch and the door locks. The hatch does not reliably open when you stand behind it. However, if you press the button, it knows you have the key and opens the hatch, so it's not a proximity issue. Other times I will walk along side the vehicle and the hatch will open when I don't want it to. When using the touch sensor on the door handle to lock the doors, I can never be sure it's actually locked. It makes a click, indicating it sensed the touch, but then when I go back to open the door, I can hear it lock when I touch it. At this point, the only thing you can do is dig around in your pocket for the fob, since it won't respond at all to touch. Another issue is that the doors will not all unlock when the car is turned off, no matter how I make the settings. As a result, I have to use the manual unlock button to allow access to the rear if I need to take somehting with me. When I do that, I can no longer lock the car with the button on the door. If I set it to unlock when I turn off the ignition, then I have to put it into park first, which means I have to stop. The engine turns off when I stop, then right back on when it's put into park, then off again by pushing the button on the dash. None of this makes sense to me. If the car is locked and I walk up to it with the key, it should unlock when the door button is touched. Nothing else should matter. If it is unlocked and I am outside with the key in my pcoket, then touching the button should cause it to lock. Period. Again, nothing else should matter. But it does. I have a spreadsheet with all the issues I have found if anyone is interested. There are too many to detail here.
