2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Ultimate Car Review

[@MatheusAmorimSantiago]

My favorite reviews! Keep the good job! This kind of channel makes worth the money spent to learn english here, in Brazil.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Ha! That's quite a compliment Marcos.

I really enjoy your reviews. Hyundai has really stepped up their game.

Very nice review. I test drove a 2017 Santa Fe Limited Ultimate today. It was an impressive vehicle all around. I have recently tested and/or sat in many cars, including the Kia Sorento, all of the mini-vans, the Durango, Grand Cherokee, Subaru Outback (I bought a 2016 3.6r for my wife), the Forester, Volvo XC90, Audi Q7, Rav4, Highlander, Tucson, Mazda CX5, CX9 and others. The especially nice thing about the Santa Fe Limited Ultimate is the captain's chairs in the second row. Those are very comfortable, and I haven't found any vehicle that is smaller than the Santa Fe with the second row captain's chairs. My kids love them, and I have found that when my kids aren't happy in the car... neither am I. I liked several of the mini-vans, especially the new Chrysler Pacifica, but the second row seats in the Santa Fe are more comfortable. The Santa Fe also has awd, which you can only get in the Toyota Sienna (mini-van wise) and I just didn't care too much for that vehicle. It didn't drive as nice as the Santa Fe, and quite frankly I think I am sold on the Santa Fe's ventilated seats... something else the Sienna doesn't have. So... the Hyundai Santa Fe kinda fills a niche that I don't see in any of the other vehicles right now. It is sort of a mini-minivan, which drives nicer than a minivan, is absolutely loaded with options, has a great second row via comfortable captain's chairs, AWD, and imo looks better than most of the other vehicles in its class. I don't work for Hyundai, I just was very impressed with this vehicle =D

I really enjoy your reviews and zany humour...it brings a chuckle to my day and I get to learn interesting stuff about cars...what could be better?

[@MrDblum619]

Why doesn't this channel have more subscriber's? Smh.. Keep up the great reviews

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Yeah, why?

[@dschonsie]

Driven Car Reviews probably not enough nudity and vulgar language, in other words your channel is too classy for the average YT consumer. So what am i doing here? Darwin was right, i'm evolving.........^^

[@aydanvillarreal5303]

Great job on the video! Keep up the excellent work! Love the editing!

I have a 2 year old Ultimate and overall I am satisfied with it although I don't think I will buy one again. Considering I spent as much money as possible on this car, I was not happy that I couldn't get Napa leather or the exit mode with the powered steering wheel like in my Azera Limited. I am also not happy that Hyundai isn't going to upgrade my entertainment system to add Apple CarPlay either. The other thing is the ride is kind of hard, don't know if that is the tires or the suspension, but they need to work on that. Storage is awesome, especially the center console and I use the rear climate controls a lot. Put the tonneau cover on the back and turn the AC on when it is hot and you can put food or groceries back there if you have a long drive home from out of town. If you kept a dog back there also you could keep them cool with it also. The power plug I have in mine is useful although I plugged a floor vacuum in one time and it tripped the breaker immediately. I towed a fully loaded U-Haul trailer halfway across the country last year with it no problem. The side blinds aren't powered like on my S-Class but I consider them a necessity and I love the reclining rear seats also. Another thing it has which is overlooked a lot these days is a proper cover for the panoramic sunroof that blocks all light and heat, not one of those garbage thin covers you see on some cars that are basically like muslin. Gas mileage is surprisingly good, I get 28-30 mpg on the highway.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Thanks for sharing Venom. Perhaps you should be doing car reviews!

[@venom5809]

Ha Ha, I know better, unlike other people out there I have no illusion that your job is an easy one that takes 5 minutes of video work to pull off. I'll stick to being on the other side. 😄

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Smart. It takes me 8-10 hours just to shoot one of these pieces, longer if the conditions are bad.

[@jacobreed47]

Driven Car Reviews exactly- lots of hard work goes into making a quality review like you do in yours. and yes, here in Seattle the weather is always horrible,cold and mostly wet.

[@almason253]

Tom stocking up in 2016, well before the pandemic. 3:45 Great review!

[@codyellis4933]

That little emblem by the name on the hatch is pretty neat!

[@shirakawanaoya]

1:47 What a beautiful view.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Yep, wish I lived in that neighborhood.

[@petergutenberger6367]

Really big fan of your newer reviews, but, as a long time fan, bring back Evil Twin!!!

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Hmm, maybe in the New Year....

[@dorothyramon567]

Where’s the spare tire?where is the spare tire?

[@jody024]

Not a bad looking vehicle, the neighborhood looks nice to

[@shirakawanaoya]

3:05 that interfase looks slow as hell. Why wont car manufacturers investing in better processors/optimization? As seen in the EP9 presentation cars are going to a more personalized way just like cell phones have come through the years, and I still find the tech found in some cars heavily lacking. They will be obsolete as soon as a good car manufacturer takes the lead in this regard and that could be tomorrow for all we know.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Automakers are limited to the processors they can use because off the shelf units used in laptops and tablets generally can't take the punishment found in a car (extreme heat, cold, vibration, ect...). Same with touch screens. Ever leave your iPhone or iPad in the sun and get the sad face that it has to cool down before it can be used? That's unacceptable in a car (and could lead to a lethal situation if the car doesn't operate in extreme climate conditions). Things are getting better but the processors automakers use are very specialized products. Just another reason why your car is more awesome than you think.

[@shirakawanaoya]

Thats pretty interesting. Thanks! #themoreyouknow

[@kamoheloramathe7436]

I own one and I love it

[@DrivenCarReviews]

If you're looking fro something similar in size to the Santa Fe Sport, check out the Buick Envision piece! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6jMXmVqe9GgbdE

[@lotdominguezcastellon6028]

Hand up to Costco, amazing review, thank you.

[@mrsmurf1]

Little did he know, that in 2020 that TP would be worth 10x it's value!

[@Zhenocnra]

Ahahaha, I was WONDERING where all of that toilet paper went. I figured you had a mountain of it at home and at the office but that works too, lol.

[@plutonium9]

22 mpg highway? The newest rx350 (yes, the awd version) gets 26. You can do bettet Hyundai.

[@headcas620]

If you're looking at this, just get the sedona. Better in every way. You don't need awd.

[@JulezWinnfield]

headcas620 : Who doesn't need AWD? People who live in winter snowbelt states?

[@headcas620]

J High No one. Snow tires make more difference than the driven wheels. Unless you live on top of a mountain.

[@jacobreed47]

headcas620 winter tires are very important that is very true, sed with winter tires is more assuring. I always feel safe in my 15 Subaru Outback with Bridgestone Blizzakks. not year round of course.

[@armesisp3201]

Hmm, the design may be funky but ive had enough with korean cars. They will cause you misery when all the components start breaking down. Its not cheap to fix either since many of the spare parts come directly from korea. Thanks for the review though!

[@supremeetnel7707]

Those wheels look like MB wheels

[@enjoymusic4895]

look like Mercedez Benz ML, GLS, GLE
