2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 2.5T: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@scottdavis_34]

Will, you know I'm a Chevy guy through and through but wow I feel like Hyundai is killing it right now. I've been really impressed with all of their vehicles. This one has alot of features I wouldn't expect for something in this price point.

[@WTFCRLT1]

I agree Scott! Both the Santa Fe limited and Sonata N-Line with the 2.5T give you more Power and features per dollar than just about any Mid-Size sedan or suv on the road today. Outside of the Kia Sorento and K5 GT lol but I personally prefer the seats in the Hyundai’s.

[@rexfreeman2164]

Just so you know, the calligraphy trim is the top trim. We just got one in calipso red...it has 20jn wheels ,painted fender trim and an even better interior.the wheels are custom also just for the calligraphy.

[@alisaknox5271]

Thank you so much for the in depth view... I drove one yesterday and am going back today to buy it!

[@hamzabill1872]

I have 2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy for 5 months. The advantages of the vehicle are: 1-The engine power and speed of the vehicle are amazing. 2-All kinds of technology have been put on the vehicle. 3- The rear and side views of the vehicle are lovely. 4- The vehicle's camera system is beneficial. But in my opinion, the tool has some flaws: 1- Too much wind noise inside the vehicle. 2-The engine sound of the vehicle is too loud when starting the first move. 3-The car shakes too much. I expected a vehicle with this feature to be more comfortable. 4-I did not like the braking performance of the vehicle. I'm having trouble stopping the vehicle.

[@coltoncyr2283]

The braking is weird because of pressure, I've noticed this as well, tap the foot and the car goes off! Tap they brake and nothing happens. Need a lot more pressure. Make the body feel weird! I think noise is fine. Compared to other suvs I've been in, all the same.

[@ofcbob6391]

tell me about the dual clutch transmission: I read alot of reviews that say at "creeping" speeds, like moving along in backed up traffic, there is an annoying shudder, or herky-jerky motion...you experience this?

[@Tom-mu7zy]

You missed the reclining back seat function. So much more comfortable than my straight back dodge truck back seats.

[@DinadaLicious1]

I am sold. Some might hate it but i love the fact that it's not quiet

[@davidhamilton506]

The top section of the DRLs are your indicators, where they change color to amber, then on self cancelling, they revert to white...

[@jennifersapp2051]

I got my 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited in late November. All I can say is wow! Love my car and all of the features. I would like to find a video that goes over all of the features on the screen. I feel it offers so much and that I may be missing out on some nice features!

[@mackenzieseibel]

I just bought one & the dealership I bought from wants me to come back every week or so until I’ve learned everything my car can do. They want to make sure I get the most out of my car so that made me happy that they are showing me everything it can do!

[@jennifersapp2051]

@@mackenzieseibel I’m happy that you have a dealership who does this for their customers. Unfortunately the dealership I bought mine from hasn’t been interested in anything since I gave them their check. My back fender had been popped out since delivery. Just now getting them to fix it after arguing with them. Sunroof doesn’t work and I have paint chipping off the whole front bumper. They won’t do anything about the paint and the sunroof well let’s hope this time around in the shop they can fix it. I’m ready to trade it in already.

[@jennifersapp2051]

[@margieroberts790]

I have an ultra Limited Santa Fe 2014 with 69,000 miles.. I'm hesitant to trade it in but, the road noise on the interior cab is awful are they quieter on the new ones?

[@billwynne27]

THE REAR SEATS DO RECLINE AND THE PASSENGER SEATS HAS FULL POWER LIKE THE DRIVER SEAT. YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO DRIVE IT IN SPORT MODE, IT HAS A LOT OF TORQUE STEER, I HAVE 2020 MODEL AND I LOVE IT. IT WILL ALSO STOP AND BEEP IF A PERSON OR CAR COMES!! I ALSO HAVE 10 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY

[@wixday]

Thanks for the very thorough review!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Glad you liked it! 👍🏼

[@ThorMaxx]

Have you tested the base 2.5? If so any thoughts on performance? ALSO, how does this compare to the NIssan rogue? Which would you choose?

[@WTFCRLT1]

Yes I tested the XRT with the 2.5. It’s nothing crazy but it’s solid, and the Santa Fe is Mid size so it’s larger than the compact Rogue. The New 1.5t in the rogue feels a little quicker than the N/A 2.5 Santa Fe.

[@thewelder9492]

We own a 22 Calligraphy model that we purchased in July 21. We now have 20000km on it. It’s been great. The one issue we had was the drivers side cv axle ended up having a ripped boot on the inner. It was all covered by warranty. Not sure what happened there, but we don’t abuse it. Funny thing is I told the wife to leave the Santa Fe and take the suburban (I’ll get the Fe fixed). Turned out the two cv axles on the suburban I had replaced less than two years prior we’re also ripped. Really bizarre. Highly recommend the Fe. The seats are not as comfortable as the suburban. But it’s been good.

Hi Welder, tell me about the dual clutch transmission: I read alot of reviews that say at "creeping" speeds, like moving along in backed up traffic, there is an annoying shudder, or herky-jerky motion...you experience this?

[@thewelder9492]

@@ofcbob6391 Never. My wife drives the Santa Fe. We do the oil changes regularly, premium gas and idle the turbo after driving. It’s been a great vehicle. The only real issue we find, the seats aren’t the best for long trips. We have 55000km on it now. Most important part: wife is happy lol

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan]

My first used Hyundai SUV to buy one bro.

[@trumpmypresident4721]

In all these vehicles you show .., I like to know how many " airbags " they have considering I'm shopping now for a new car or suv. Thanks .... GREAT review as usual.

[@josemarques8542]

Ok, Thanks

[@TBISYTC]

I hope they'll offer more leg room for the driver in the next refresh.The center stack is too wide and intrudes on thigh/ leg room for taller drivers

[@hubertking3232]

i have one and really love it

[@jschneid4905]

really like your videos you go over alot of details also like that you show the sticker price can you do a video of 2022 kia sorento

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks man I’ll try getting one ASAP! I did the 2022 PHEV Sorento a few months back if you’d wanna check that out kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpy0q4aql8eAqK8

[@fearlessreview]

I always thought the easy access not opening the back was like an anti kidnap feature

[@avivic8971]

Does the front grill come in different darker color in any trim?

[@WTFCRLT1]

Yes! This grille is specific to this trim level👍🏼

[@josemarques8542]

Good Morning. Good video. Can you tell me where the buttons are, Inside for opening and closing the tailgate? Thanks.

[@WTFCRLT1]

11:46 the button is to the left of the steering wheel. Appreciate the comment!

[@kodyjefferson8976]

Just google Hyundai Santa Fe whatever year your is the application will bring up the videos concerning the details from top to bottom by the way you have three one on the bottom of the tail gate one on your frob ( remote control) and one on the lower panel left of the steering wheel you also can get a owner’s manual from your dealership in closing enjoy your evening 😎

[@rafars2246]

Want to get one, but can't pay what they want...

[@TheMolina297]

Poor man Genesis, but actually Calligraphy trim brings almost every feature a base Genesis gv70 has. Or even all of them lol.

Nice video!!

Thanks brother 👍🏼

No spare tire?

[@Champion_since_84]

Honestly, I was curious about the horn. I may be the only one who thinks this, but some horns sound horrible.

[@Codyverses7064]

Nothing about the child lock on doors

[@spoon787]

The rear doors have electronic driver selected child locks

[@rachelgarbe3932]

Why doesn't this vehicle at this pricepoint NOT come with AWD? That's crazy..............

[@vickyvinay23]

I got an awd, Santa Fe calligraphy

[@user-nv5lh8ib1p]

Driving way too fast in a neighborhood. I can see a kid or animal popping out onto the road.

[@LeventKizilkoca]

I scared while wat hung, how dare you're accelerating like that between houses, if a child comes suddenly?

[@brendaraymond4377]

Too noisy

Noisy?
