[@dwnshft]

Special thanks to out Patreons for their support of the channel! Santa Fe or Mazda CX70?

CX70 in a heart beat second

“Why can’t you do this?” Because not everyone is a relatively ‘fit,’ fighting age, >6’ tall, man, particularly in this vehicle’s home market

[@CIRCLEDARK]

In general, Hyundai / Kia / Genesis bring so much more to the table than others for anywhere near the money, but the way Hyundai occasionally relies on some pretty blatant copying of other successful brands is kind of off putting. It screams try-hard and feels cheap. I have faith that they can easily stand on their own. Come on, Hyundai, you’re better than that and don’t need to ripoff anyone else’s designs.

[@BhutJolokias]

OK, every manufacturer borrows design and tech bits from other manufacturers. That's how vehicles have gotten so good over the years.

[@BhutJolokias]

The totals for the hybrid are 231HP and 277 lb/ft torque. It does not feel slow at all. We've had our AWD, hybrid, Calligraphy for 3 months now and are very impressed.

@@BhutJolokias nice! Good to hear!

Good job I tested them all was sold on a all black santa fe calligraphy the interior did it I went to get palsada test drove both for hour lol I owned a 2021 santa fe wanted more space the third row on santa fe not bad 21 inch rims and the warranty pushed me toward the santa fe over the pilot or highlanders my only other thought was telluride but my son has a sportage it was just like it the cx90 phev is the only real car that almost got me but no regrets 60k bb 100k warranty free oil changes 3yrs bluelink free for life

[@FordEnthusiast413]

The Santa Fe’s DCT has reliability issues. That is why I would look at the hybrid version or perhaps a Palisades. This certainly will not take away sales from the Ford Explorer which is the king of the segment.

[@matthewspencer4625]

Amazing comfort and ride quality plus my wife loved the shape. Great car. Not cheap here in NZ but still so much better than the Toyota and Mazda.

[@JeffBrinser]

I’ve test driven the Santa Fe and completely agree that the DCT is wonky at low speeds but I really like the vehicle. I have an old Mazda 3 so went to test drive the Mazda CX 90 and really wanted to love the tech is not quite as advanced as the Santa Fe. I am concerned about the transmission. I’ve had a lot of transmission issues with my Acadia and don’t want to go through that with another vehicle.

[@aubeenlopez1051]

Whoa a testament to recent Chinese design; Hyundai has totally ripped this from the Chinese Yangwang U8 (likely the best luxury SUV on the planet).

[@67keyakaren68]

Mazda without a question

[@bextar6365]

Lots of trans problems with that dual clutch. Look up consumer reviews !

[@dwnshft]

@@bextar6365 exactly why I’d get the hybrid

[@christophernovak8068]

A lot of stories of engine failure. Hopefully putting that chapter behind them.

[@rinbine2713]

How selfish are these reviewers? Are they only thinking about themselves? Don't they consider shorter people? And what about overweight individuals? When you fall from a height, your body absorbs the impact based on the product of mass and height. By placing the handle lower like that, it significantly reduces the impact on the body. Just wait until you get older. Going down a single step won't be easy. Why? Because the impact is considerable.
