2017 / 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe - 10 cool features

There are 10 things I like about the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe 5,6,7 passenger car. Because the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe is similar to the 2017, these 10 things are also applicable to the 2018 model.
Vehicle overview
The 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe’s only engine is a 3.3-liter V-6 rated at 290 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque, and it’s paired exclusively to a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel efficiency varies based on the trim level with SE and Limited models rated at 18/25 mpg city/highway with front-wheel drive and 18/24 mpg with all-wheel drive. Opting for the Ultimate package drops those numbers down to 17/23 mpg with front-wheel drive and 17/22 mpg with all-wheel drive.
All variants of the 2017 / 2018 Santa Fe are able to tow 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. There’s 13.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the third row in place, 40.9 cubic feet behind the second row, and 80 cubic feet behind the front seats. Inside, a redesigned center stack is joined by a new matte-finish wood-like trim on the Limited model.
Optional extras include a larger eight-inch touchscreen with navigation, lane change assist, a multi-view camera system, a panoramic sunroof, heated and cooled front seats, heated second row seating, a heated steering wheel, and an Infinity sound system.
Safety
In IIHS testing, the 2017 Santa Fe received a Good score on all but the small overlap front crash test, for which it hasn’t been tested yet (Good is the highest possible score). The crossover has yet to be tested on the collision prevention and mitigation test and the new headlight safety test. When equipped with the Ultimate package, the Santa Fe gains automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning.

for those car shopping for a used 2017/2018: good luck finding most of these features. It seems as though many Santa Fe buyers were not into "bells and whistles" as not many have the options described here. I just found a 2017 that had heated seats, blind spot assist and power lift gate (not automatic) and it was the only one that had these features out of all I have seen!

I just bought a 2017 sante fe sport I took it for a test ride was sold on it in 5 minutes. Drove back to dealership and said I would take it, it was quiet and smooth ride. I was amazed much better than my last 2011 never mind the make. I got a good deal on a great car.

[@davielove11]

Nice review..I have a 2015 Santa Fe Sport, I'm very pleased with the ride, comfort and value of this vehicle.

[@heatheroliver3704]

Thank you so much. This was more helpful than any of the other hundred videos I’ve watched.

[@vivianwilliams6322]

Excellent video! You've just helped me make my choice regarding which year of the Hyundai Sante Fe I want :). Thank you.

I have a 2016 Deluxe version and I LOVE it! I wish mine had the WIFI . Mine was a lease turn in and OMG... taken great care of! The 2016 has most of these amenities as well. It does not have the features listed in #1... #2-yup ... #3-yup ... #4-not sure of the number of speakers in mine but woohoo!! ... #5-gut those! I use the cruise control the most :). #6-we have the knee bag too! ... and the cross traffic alert. ... #7-yup, tis called a keyfob. you get one and you have to have it on you for the car to know its OK to start ... #8- have this too - works awesome ... #9-2nd row does have lots of leg room and seats that slide up and back as needed (incase the 3rd row peeps need more leg room). #10- gut all that too! Glad we have the 2016!!

[@boozer74]

The sound is crispy?? LOL... nice review

[@veronicasiv1575]

I LOVE my 2017 Santa Fe SE; however, wish it had fog lights. Can after market fog lights be added?

[@sbearly]

I have a 2017 Santa Fe but no push button start. Was that only an option?

[@Justambeerr]

Can u talk about the blue link feature

[@joeknowz4898]

On my 2017 Santa Fe Sport, both front window have one touch auto-down and up features, on my wife's 2018 Sorento FE AWD just the driver side has this option...

[@GarrettWorcester]

I'm kicking myself - well, not anymore - for not getting the red Santa Fe with the third row of seats. Naturally, when I needed them, I didn't have them!

[@sakethphenom]

What is the difference between 2018 Santa fe and 2019 Santa fe XL. I see there are lot of incentives on 2018 model. Can you please suggest?

[@thehegt]

They are 5 seater and 7 seater the XL is 7 seater .

[@mooauto2388]

Do you still have the Santa Fe ?

[@dylanramos9232]

What do I do when the adjustment seat doesn’t want to go forward anymore

[@MrKokspang]

I got a 2019 Santa Fe XL it look just the same as yours but yours is not called XL what's the different

[@lisam9885]

I just bought a 2017. From what I understand they stopped making 3rd row standard as of 2017 or 2018, so after that they have the XL with 3rd row seating

[@1188clean]

Santa fe xl is the lower trim. The one he has platinum is the top of the line. I have the santa fe xl with some technology like push button, blind spot detection, fog lights , automatic rear hatch, heat seats, leather seats.

[@donnaowens1067]

I love my 2017 Hyundai Sante Fe sport, I am just having a issue with reading text messages. but I will figure that out as well :-)

Its weird i have the deluxe edition and i dont have the 360 cam when backing up

[@1188clean]

I have a 2019 santa xl. I like it, has nice power and quality feels good. This car is not good for little kids in car seats, especially if they are rear facing. Mpg is not that good either. Also seems like it takes awhile for the ac too cool down( could be because the car is black) I like it but im debating on trading it in for a minivan

[@Victoriatremblay]

I just bought the 2017 xl! 31 thousand kilometers... amazing! First new to me car! Updated from a 2003 honda pilot..woohoo. Where is the block heater?!

[@gabrielnunezvarillas3579]

Hi! Can anyone tell me the difference between the Santa Fe and the Grand Santa Fe?

[@Allelectric123]

Gabriel Nuñez Varillas same thing. I think Canadians refer to it as grand Santa Fe to differentiate it from the 5 seater.

[@gabrielnunezvarillas3579]

Cars & Technology Thx I was struggling with the differences. Keep the good work 💪

[@ericbillion3731]

How much do you pay amonth?

[@BDUFFY404]

Eric Billion Depends on your apr and down payment

[@GarrettWorcester]

I'm auto-playing a $540.00 flat fee a month, but the actual payment is $535.00 or something like that.

[@gabyshor]

say strategically again :))

[@somemaycallthisjunkmeicall133]

I got a Mitsubishi ad..

[@melissafallon4050]

This is not a 2018

[@Chengetai]

He said his is 2017

[@ritaadouhanssa2147]

J An n'est une je ne man pas et santa fe sinple🚘

[@tigerbalm666]

Interior is hideous!

[@MyLife2020]

It's rubbish car with poor Ac cooling and many problem in steering and cracking sound coming from dashboard and there sound like grrrrrrrr when you drive at low speed and wind noise coming from panoramic sunroof unacceptable and there is clonck noise at 30 km. Stay away from Hyundai Santa fe. Transmission shifting a little bit hard for first 10 minutes after that transmission shift smoothly

[@mehulladwa7475]

I disagree

[@MyLife2020]

Mehul Ladwa I own Hyundai Santa fe dm 2014 . What I wrote above was happened to me and now there is a problem in drive shaft was replace under warranty at first time but it's came again what a rubbish car I never ever face any major problems in JAPANESE car. Just search in KZbin about Hyundai flexibility coupling problem

[@MegaMorgantown1]

Sayed Moh'd Sayed Jawad I own '15 Honda Accord and '17 CRV but they have lot of issue.

[@MyLife2020]

YS Ro It's bad to hear that my friend its unacceptable thing. I prefear to buy Mitsubishi I know it's less power and normal design but it give high quality because we own MITSUBISHI DIAMANTE 3.0L limited and MITSUBISHI Lancer.

[@MyLife2020]

I really like MITSUBISHI Pajero sport 2017. I got one for test drive and it has most accurate steering and comfortable ride dont forget best AC even in summer with temp up to 50 C

[@Leo-ok5qi]

I'm bleeding from my ears , thanks to his english .

Texan Boi try speaking another language and you'll make people cry!
