Hyundai denying knowledge of known issue
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.5T Calligraphy is an awesome vehicle, unfortunately, it's spoilt by a change that has been made to drivability from the previous generation, 2023 with the exact configuration, ie 2.5T with DCT. This being the pull off / take off from stand still. The 2025 version has a bad lag or delay before the vehicle will actually pull off. This is extremely dangerous when navigating a gap through an intersection when you need to GO. This delay could mean causing an accident due to delayed response. The delay can be up to 2 or 3 seconds, so it's not milliseconds and being pedantic. This issue is ALL OVER the forums, and the feedback from many owners of the 2025 model from the dealerships is that's its turbo lag and normal. Why then did the 2023 model with the exact same engine and DCT transmission not have this at all for the 2 and a half years I owned it? I also have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee with a 2.0 T and NO turbo lag like this. Hyundai are avoiding a dangerous issue they deny or find an excuse to give all owners.
