I have 2024. What I don't like is that the steering wheel is made of eco-leather. He's very rude. The second point is when you drive at a speed of 25 or 30 km, you hear a noise, or it's electrical parts switching, or a battery. On the first day when I bought 0 km, the next day I went to the service for advice, and the mechanic told me that this was the NORM of switching. But it pisses me off!

@@AutoBears sure, no problem. your unabashed fanboy support of Elon and Tesla has resulted in the Tesla cult leader becoming the co-president of the USA.

the 2024 update is awesome. Its comfy, quiet and fast. Pre-2024 models kinda sucked. I test drove all of them so I feel i that my comment is valid. Unlike some people that just think they all suck with no experience with them. The juniper update when it comes out will keep on cannibalizing sales from other manufacturers. Great vid and hope you continue to enjoy the vehicle for it's lifetime.

Not really sure why so many people are in love with this car. I considered one of the Tesla models, but after test driving a few, I was not impressed. I mean, other than it being very fast, the driver seat was a little uncomfortable, and that was just a 15 min test drive. Also, the road noise was not great, especially at this price point. I'm sure people must like the interior, but it looks more like a spaceship than a car. Compared to the Ford Mustang EV, which has better quality, I don't get the Tesla craze.

I love the purposeful shape of the Santa Fe. I have a Hyundai and love it. Amazing economy and smooth drive. The Santa Fe looks to be a similar story - and great internal room. Quite pricy though. Great review Dave. By the way, I have the same engine and gearbox in my Ioniq, and it is a bit of a bind that the manual override in sports mode (both flappy paddle and the gear selector) isn't really an override, as you observed - but it does help economy!
@AutoBears22 күн бұрын
Thank you for the comment Nigel. Big and boxy really do help. Although it looks pricey it is actually competitive in the segment. Especially as rivals look good on paper but you have to add option packs and that will boost the price. I understand what you mean with the flappy paddles. With these types of cars, Sport mode will be rarely engaged.

The modes make no difference to handling .... unless you have air suspension which currently Audi UK don't offer. You said it was Pre-Sense slowing the car when on cruise. Pre-sense is to want to take control if it senses an imminent collision. The component of Adaptive Cruise Control that can adjust the speed for bends, roundabouts, speed limits are is the Driver Assistant function called Predictive Control. To get full electric seats you have to order the Technology Pack Pro for £5k!!! I hate Audi UK's preference for packs and wish they'd let us chose components like in Germany. I fear the MY2025 options will be even more restrictive
