2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Review

Shop for a new Hyundai Santa Fe on CarGurus: cargur.us/13j4WJ
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe has been completely redesigned, presenting a radical departure from previous models with its rugged, boxy appearance that suggests off-road capability, akin to a budget Land Rover. This latest version is packed with new technology and features a dramatic new design both inside and out. Notably different from the Tucson, with which it previously shared similarities in size and price, the new Santa Fe now includes a third row of seating. After nearly 25 years on the market and entering its fifth generation, the Santa Fe stands out as a unique offering in Hyundai's lineup.

We just got the limited ( black with pecan interior) and are thrilled with everything about it…it’s so ugly that it’s pretty if that makes sense, lol! It drives like a dream, much nicer than our ‘22 Pathfinder SL. The interior is roomy and comfy and the gas mileage is great. We’ve always wanted a Flex ( again, ugly but pretty), and yeah, it’s being called the “ Walmart Defender”, but for our budget and needs, this car is perfect. ( didn’t do the Calligraphy because we wanted a bench seat, and the limited had everything we needed)

[@MoodTudeAB]

Agreed I want one

[@dfsdh432v9]

just GOOGLE hyundai DCT class action law suit.

[@BryanGibbs-nh9uq]

Everyone is on the ugly bandwagon comments as if they take their vehicles for a beauty pageant.

[@tubedude2028]

Because it is ugly. Too sterile looking and boxy AF.

[@short5stick]

Exactly we bought it because the inside is really spacious and easy to see around

[@iwasadeum]

I test drove a Limited Santa Fe and a Kia Sorento X-Line Prestige this past weekend. Blown away by how good they both were. Immediately after I went and test drove a Genesis GV70, and was Immediately disappointed. It was nearly $10K more expensive than the Santa Fe and Sorento, but it was not an upgrade in quality, comfort, or features. Then I went and drove an Acura RDX and Lexus NX. Same story. Unless you're getting into the $70K+ luxury brand name, a top trim Santa Fe/Sorento gives you much better luxury than entry level luxury brands. I'm going to test drive a BMW X3 and a Lincoln Corsair this weekend, but I fully expect I'll have a Santa Fe or Sorento by next week.

[@marcojeda6954]

Really well presented video. The way the features of the car are presented in real time while the presenter speaks.

This car doesn't have an ass.. Just flat in that back

Omg i spit my drink out reading this comment 😂😂😂😂

Does it have the sunroof eject feature?

I like it. The hybrid will be popular. Good price point.

At first glance from the front it looks like a blazer car in Indonesia

[@joshhealey9]

I have been really close to getting this. If they didn’t bludgeon the damn thing with so many Hs it would be a me easier decision. It’s so tacky on an otherwise fantastic design.

So where is the actual owners reviews of these not dealers?

[@alexander6762]

Toyota Landcruiser or this? Debating. I like that they (Hyundai) will come out with hybrid but turbo? Turbos go out well before 200k miles. Especially city miles

[@mikebrand4717]

I wouldn’t count on any motor making 200k without any major problems. All depends on the owner.

Just open the rear doors so you don't to step on the tire lol

[@carlosrijo978]

Nice look

[@TwoPair72]

I saw one on the interstate today. The front is okay. To me, it’s a really cheap version of a Bronco Sport. The rear, is like it was put together by LEGO.

[@Rizzo1972]

That center console will dig into your calf while you are driving. For the life of me why can't they ever put a slight curve on there to make it comfortable.

[@MB-mh6xv]

Gee, I'll have to watch out for that.

[@mrsmartypants_1]

Are you extremely overweight?

[@landoblu]

I saw one this week. I said to myself there is no way that is a Hyundai. 😮

[@Tenasedeinc]

The Range Rover Sante Fe Needs a SVR version. 😂😂

[@dnice362]

You need this spec for this car to look good. I’ve seen a couple on the road now and they are kinda ugly. This spec is perfect for this car. Looks great here

[@gibreezy]

Agreed, the calligraphy trim blacked out is the ONLY way this looks acceptable

[@rogerhuston8287]

@@drshayan4969 no it doesn’t. Both the Highlander and grand highlander can’t hold any candle to the competition including the Santa Fe The pilot and cx90 are the only ones who can give stiff competition to Hyundai and Kia

[@KevanUP]

wow👍👍👍

[@bahosh305]

I test drove it, it’s stiffer than the older model. I didn’t feel the turbo, and with this price, it’s a miss. I could have accepted it if the price was right, but again, I would choose the 2023 model over this one. Hopefully 2025 gets better!

[@angryfrt6056]

Damn they took the interior of tata safari lol

[@kaitiposey6589]

Love Hyundai Santa Fe, just not a fan of this body style. The back is too flat, and the lights look like bones lol.

[@sayedengine]

Stop using stupid DCT transmission it's not a fun thing, just bring back 8-speed Torque converter transmission.

[@Nodelphi]

Would have been a nice, cheaper alternative to the new Lexus GX550 except for the awful headlights and taillights. Saw one on the street and the taillights were so low I couldn’t see them, they were below my hood line in a Subaru Outback. People in bigger cars won’t be able to see them if it makes a sudden stop.

[@Dellonidas]

Tailgate much?

Hyundai and Kia don’t have a consistent design theme. Just keep changing every model to see what sticks. Gimmicks. Stay away. Get a Toyota or Honda instead.

[@JaJaHead]

That could mean good or bad. Since it’s a new name on the block, think of them like a new kid trying to find an identity. They can explore and experiment with new designs and ideas and not constraint to particular set of designs rules. Bad thing, like you mentioned; no consistency

Yeah get a Toyota. Who's engine's keep failing after 20k miles

@@olegb.4604 it's not a myth. Why haven't Hyundai serviced all of the vehicles from 2010-2017 that had a recall for engine fuel line malfunctioning and causing the engine to spontaneously combust?
