Bigger and better? - 2024 Hyundai Sante Fe Review UK 4K

[@jogolock1190]

Took this for a test drive, love it, very quiet and refined. Very tempted. I'm thinking Hyundai more reliable than a Land Rover and cheaper.

[@ten3353]

Hi Tish. It’s an interesting evolution (the design language). Enjoy your reviews, thx 🙏🏼 🎉

[@AutoSocialUK]

My pleasure 😊 Thank you for watching!

[@nickwebb9290]

I really like this new Santa Fe and an excellent review as always. Could this be our Tucson Hybrid replacement, that the question 😉

[@Salreviews8]

The New Santa Fe looks really cool and futuristic looks. Lots of space as well .Good detail video.

[@kazali6111]

That car looks amazing. Nothing looks like it

[@itsthedaveee]

Defender-esque. Like it! Looking good Tish ❤

[@Steven-jn2cw]

I really like that, interesting design

[@MrSgtzara]

Very valid point on the towing capacity, shame to lose one of the Caravanners favourite tow vehicles. Least it’s sister car, the Sorento is still available in Diesel with a decent towing limit.

[@robertlloyd7493]

Love your rural settings 👍

[@ranhtv9889]

The 2026 version will be perfect if the tail section is revised a bit more.

[@jjgermancarsdontsignal7746]

Nice rear end.Would love to get my hands on it.

[@nickharding1623]

Hi Tish another fab review,ive always been a fan of the santa fe and had the pleasure of driving the previous model from san francisco to los angeles and it was a smooth relaxing and a pleasure to drive...this latest model wow,i agree with the back end not so good looking but i wish they made it as a split opening just like on range rover

[@conogrady9254]

Tish does not get SHIRTY with anyone!💖🤭

[@nicksmpsn6546]

The mpg would have been interesting. Great review, though.

[@MrSimonBurgoyne]

Nice review - Agree 100% re lack of diesel for both towing capacity, torque and longevity over 225k kms one one of mine.. For A/NZ market especially I think this is going to be challenging but at least Kia Sorrento diesel still exists and others options like new Land Cruiser looks good.. They have already discounted some of these (pre order) in this market..

[@rogermorrison6524]

Is the colour Ocado green ? - If so we can get this in NZ too - will be ordering one next year

[@McLoom1]

Nice car review there Tish ….. love the colour ….. seems like we’re getting the toe the line version of the engine while the Stars and Stripes get what they want ….. anywho ….. lovely. Car though 👏👏

[@brussel4242]

Odd thing, I have an F-Pace and looking to get a Volvo next, but find myself watching Tish review some pretty diverse cars!

[@P.J.B.769]

I like the olive green colour but its a bit boxy looking for my liking. That climbing on the wheel is accident waiting to happen and what if you are older and not as fit as you were to do that. I think a ladder would have been a better idea. Good review yet again Tish.

[@sunnygill2671]

Looking good tish and another nice review good looking motor just not sure on the rear end of the vehicle Still think it be a popular vehicle tho x

[@mutley23able]

Just saw this on Tish Does Travel and it actually does look good lol suppose it helps to be this big when your camping out in it 😀👍

[@williamlee1703]

Really good review Tish, thank you. Very good looking vehicle and well appointed to make it great to travel in But think the towing capacity might hamper its sales instead of towing a family 6 berth you will be lucky to tow a 2 berth which negates the need for a 7 seater , shame.

[@msboro]

It looks beautiful but its so big! I've had 2 Tuscons and was hoping to move up to a Santa Fe but its too big for me alone so back to the drawing board

[@DavidDoherty489]

Raise the rear lights by a foot and it would be a nice looking car

[@JohnMartin-kp3km]

Somewhat confused by the trim offering for the UK. Top of the range Calligraphy only has black interior and no sun roof (even as an option). Ultimate has 3 interior colour options but no UV compartment or the relaxation seat. Other countries appear to have more choice for the time being.

[@stefanwiechmann4808]

I would like to know, how long is this SUV. It looks like it is nit far of the Ford Explorer from the US Market. So around 4.8/ 4.9 metres?

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

The new Santa Fe makes the Defender 130 look like the Ford Flex.

[@TFSIChristmas]

It’s the opposite this looks like a Ford Flex but worse 😂 and underpowered

[@Gogo-i7s]

Would you say 4wd is worth it over 2wd for mostly normal tarmac driving?

[@bazza01786]

The front looked so nice when they showed the back i started to cry 😢

[@vogahl34]

Good, stay away…

[@Tattytttyyyttrrdfg]

The Santa Fe that makes other cars look old-fashioned

[@kenbradley5032]

Nice colour.

[@AutoSocialUK]

I think so too!

[@FormulaWhine]

The rear of this car reminds me more of a gen 1 Renault Espace than it does a Defender.

[@urbanfox2004]

As nice and practical as the car is, fact remains that the Calligraphy spec is over priced by at least £15-20k, target price should be around £30-35k not upwards of £50-55k! For a Hyundai that is madness! We must stand up to Manufacturers trying their luck and increasing prices just because it’s the UK!

[@IsaacS1]

Thanks for the review! This car is huge, it actually makes you look tiny when you're sat in the passenger seat 😊

[@kickstand801]

Borrowing some ideas from the Defender i see. Lol right off the bat: the style. As mentioned definitely resembles the Defender in terms of its style, but everything else is where you'll see the difference. Love the LEDs at the front, but at the back the turn signals are too low. Idk why they took that route so I am gonna zonk that. Love the interior. Lots of storage, ambient lighting. But here's what boils my zonks. This is an expensive car. Why is there a manually operated panoramic sunroof? That should be power folding. Same with the steering wheel. Manually operated instead of power tilting and telescopic. DOUBLE ZONKS!! Other than that a very decent SUV. Nice review.

[@Mr.P001]

I want one

[@CrazyCalifornia]

Looks like my Land Rover from the back

[@justinaddis1505]

That’s a no from me expensive, can’t take the skin off custard or two anything which for me is what a vehicle of this type should be about. So agree with you on loss of diesel.

[@Flexits72]

Kinda funny as Korean cars become more brutal and squarer at the same time as their European rivals are just losing their identity into some decreased, unified, glamourized Chinese-like diet coke of a former car.

[@AntonyBall-hm4jo]

Im guessing sales will be low due to the limited trailer towing capacity/engine options.

[@didley3211]

At first glance it has a range rover vibe no doubt it will steel sales from land rover & other brands in Its class. The rear design has a retro modern vibe which I like other opinions may differ but it's down to personal preference. That will fit it in well in America for the Walmart honkey tonk super sized humdingers "get er done" as they say. You can just see American police driving those eating their dunking donuts 🍩😂

[@laurentiutrifan8173]

Hi, Tish 💙

[@log874]

Nice. Kind of like a Range Rover that will actually still work in 3 years!

[@jogolock1190]

How about 3 days after you take it out of the garage?

[@TFSIChristmas]

@@jogolock1190more accurate to Hyundai than the original comment. Too much tech in this high taxed SUV with low power.

[@ianrobinson68]

I want to dislike this as I am not a fan of many modern cars especially the weird looking offerings from Kia and Hyundai but there is something about this I like.

[@dennisman7159]

Nice review Tish. How is the software experience? Couldn't help noticing the car was white on the display.

[@philallen7626]

Weirdly, I don't mind the back end. It has 80s vibes

[@bjs7442]

I am a potential buyer for this type of vehicle. However it would never be compared to a Defender. Which is a lifestyle vehicle with relatively modest boot and four seats. I need a car with a really big boot capacity and this would fill the bill. However you never stated what its electric only range is for the phev and its a modest 31 miles which in the real world will be less. Always ignore fuel consumption figures on PHEV vehicles as they are a nonsense. It assumes you always drive from home with a full battery which you didnt have to pay for the electricity and you only went a Short distance. Its competitiors which are more expensive are the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90 and so it appears good value. The important thing though is second hand values and depreciation and that may prove its undoing with such a low towing capacity and poor performance compoared to the cars I have mentioned means that actually it is too expensive to compete and the real cost of ownership would be higher than these prestige models. I own a Volvo XC90 recharge and past owner of an Audi Q7.

[@shortfattoad7317]

So, only one engine to chose from, not two, but uses TWO different kinds of hybrid system. Can't be that difficult to comprehend can it?

[@ranhtv9889]

Càng nhìn càng đẹp

[@51madmitch]

Nice colour but so big, over 10seconds to 62 with one person 🤔? 1.6 just to small, three others and luggage is why you need a diesel less CO 2, this engine will be working hard !!, diesel which is excellent for this type of thing, parking bays lol, good luck, hope the shorts are a permanent fixture 😊

[@genepatrick4232]

16:20 Great 👌😊 vehicle, great 👌😊 design loved it from the first time I saw it. The only problem is the rear lights which should have been placed higher up. Apart from that it's the perfect SUV and I would love to get one someday. Great review Tish and loving the sexy shorts look.❤😍👙💎.

[@Gogo-i7s]

This or the Škoda Kodiaq?

[@mikadavies660]

The first Santa Fe that actually looks great. However, the rear looks like a Sangyong. But for me the 1.6ltr engine is simply too small. Towing might be a possibility but in reality you will be slaughtering the engine. If only I could afford the KIA EV9..!

[@mesaosi]

I look forward to the facelift when Hyundai remember that a rear wiper is useful to have, just like they did with the Ioniq 5

[@AutoSocialUK]

The wiper is hidden under the spoiler!!!! Woooooo

[@jonathansmith4060]

I'm afraid Tish as 2023 Santa Fe owner the stlying is not for me plus more money than the old one. Ioniq 5 for me next. well presented video as always :)

[@bodrulm1]

I clicked on the land rover review and got this

[@Tonaka656]

If it had a diesel, I would buy one tomorrow. Personally, I'm not buying any car with high density lithium-ion batteries installed. Because of their chemistry they are too unpredictable. Until new batteries come along that do not spontaneously combust at the slightest provocation I'll stay away.

[@jasonwalsh8299]

The back looks like the new new Kona, another Hyundai that hasn't the best back end.

[@VolvoMarkku]

What the hell, no Hyundai-logo on the steering wheel? otherwise nice car, but I can’t understand why there isn’t a Hyundai-logo on the steering wheel. 🙄🙄🙄

[@jackoe5836]

Cool looking car. Though the rear is a bit questionable. However, those engine options are really bizarre. They don’t suit the car at all. Not sure what Hyundai is thinking with that.

[@johndinsdale1707]

So now, its a luxury tax vehicle with an underpowered engine. In America they understand transporting 7 people + luggage needs 300HP

[@Steven-jn2cw]

I agree.

[@-DC-]

National Express manages to transport 60 people with luggage in an 18 ton vehicle with less than that.

[@kubibear2890]

Rear end needs a bumber. Looks as if someone has already driven into it.

[@terrencelong6436]

A car that size needs a 3ltr or at least a 2.5ltr diesel for fuel economy and pulling power when fully loaded......

[@edwardott7239]

The Santa Fe may be striking, but it doesn't hold a candle to how striking you are, Tish! 🥰😘❤

[@watchcommander2012]

It’s a great update version it’s just a shame they have not included as more powerful petrol and a practical diesel engine in their line up

[@roberttye5908]

Looked a good car until you showed us the rear end. Extraordinary design. Just wondered what they were thinking of. Like you said it does look like a range rover apart from the rear end. Keep the reviews coming Tish!

[@barriepountney3598]

First look I thought oh know not for me ,but after watching your review it started to grow on us I like that colour the rear end is not good and I think it is under powered but I like there thinking behind the cabin and front of the vehicles,if i had to make a choice i would go for a Defender or a Range Rover that if money is not a consideration 😊

[@Bewar3them00n]

Seems a bit under powered for a car that big, my 5 seater suv hybrid has 243HP, this is not much more at 253 for the top spec, a bigger heavier car and 7 seater

[@sharonec5419]

WTH Tish. What do you need 3 mobile phones for? Thats a bit crazy.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Tbf I’m back down to 2 again! One personal and one filming, on this occasion I had just upgraded and hadn’t yet given it to my dad ☺️

[@sharonec5419]

@AutoSocialUK Awe very good Have two myself lol. Plan to get back to just one.

[@davidmarshall5596]

It cones close to being bigger than a single decker bus 😂😂😂😂😂🎉

[@Paul-gu2lv]

Whoever signed off on the rear design should be fired immediately!

[@fugawiaus]

The rear end is very Suzuki swift-ish from the early 2000s.

[@TFSIChristmas]

U are absolutely correct, I see it too.

[@regbowdrey]

You lost me at hybrid

[@raybloodypurchase1941]

That rear design is really bad. Can't see that ageing well at all.

[@tonycromby2704]

the back is a deal breaker nah sorry no way!

[@ciarayboydj]

No way I'd pay that money for a Korean car.

[@JenniferClark-l6j]

It looks like it's made from lego

[@whatsittoya3770]

I was going to order one but the rear end is horrendous 😭

[@craiground3299]

I was told if you order the 4 wheel drive it will tow 3500 kg on handbrake caravans is this right.

[@AutoSocialUK]

I will try to doublecheck this however looking online the plug-in hybrid four-wheel-drive is limited to 1100 kg and I can’t see the self charging hybrid being much more. But I could very much be wrong.

[@colinturner4158]

Definitely under powered

[@Matnrach2-mf9qr]

Bit of thumbnail Wollarding

[@mkmp7154]

Why do I hear an australian twang 😂

[@chosenArchitec]

It's strange seeing this and calling it a Santa Fe. The box like shape reminds of the Land Cruiser. I am not a fan.

[@_rhin0_590]

omg what is that rest end

[@garyhelsby2516]

3 mobiles and 22 cup holders pity about the price and lawn mower engine 😂

[@perry1309]

It's all great apart from the engine.

[@clivethomas6864]

Is an EV?

[@AutoSocialUK]

No it’s a full hybrid or plug in hybrid. It does look a lot like the Kia EV9. There will be an Ioniq7 which will be electric.

[@jumpferjoy1st]

Saw one in person on Monday. Sorry a total comedy. The only people that can afford it will be those that never had kids and will never need more than two seats. It is so fat and ungainly it truly needs to have council tax attributed to it.

[@graemetaylor629]

You buy this then get blown away of the lights by a Skoda scala

[@raybloodypurchase1941]

Whoever designed that rear ends needs therapy. Worse than the Volvo S90 rear before the redesign. Yeesh

[@DoebieBiggsArnieTait]

The back... think a teacher can use this car's backside to explain the word ugly to young children.

[@bombardierboerboels]

No diesel no thanks

[@tokyowarfare6729]

The rear design is an absolute turd, the rest looks really good. Mileage not great either, but if rear was good looking I could have somewhat considered. Prices are quite crazy high but that is widespread.

[@kadien2006]

Can only tow 1100kg 😂😂😂😂😂

[@wayneheyes4934]

They have ruined it with this design and the over £40,k car prices your forced to pay an additional £400 a year ontop of your car tax no thank u!

[@kung-fuhustle5755]

I'm sorry to say. The front looks strong, but the back is ugly as hell. It looks like the designer was drunk when designing the back.

[@Andy_ATB]

Looks absolutely horrendous.......I don't why people buy these. Estates yes, but not these......

[@tonyb3629]

Looks like an EV9 which itself is an abomination, but no surprise there. It's too big and boxy though - literally a brick. Looks like Hyundai don't really know where they're taking this car - they just said 'make it big, like an EV9'. Oh, and the price. Nobody will be able to afford to drive soon.

[@richardhowlett7398]

Errr it’s quite a nice colour , other than that ……

[@1510km]

A Hyundai should never be in the luxury car tax bracket 🤣 Wait till the Jaecoo 8 comes out, it will run rings around this tragic car.
