Lots to Like/Hate! Hyundai Santa FE Hybrid Family Road Trip Review

[@michaeldelfini708]

Adjustable seats and short legs are our best friend

[@michaeldelfini708]

I love your videos Jill . I have to sit super close to the steering wheel when I drive I have short legs and a long torso

[@fossil9440]

Wow, somebody who actually knows how to pronounce Lima, Ohio !! Nice review, thanks. Always an experience stuck with your family in a vehicle for hours.

[@jillciminillo]

My parents were born and raised there. 🤷🏻‍♀

[@icare7151]

Hyundai has a great deal of explaining as to the low mpg as others stated the fuel efficiency extremely lower than the EPA ratings as well.

[@BhutJolokias]

Your beef is with the EPA. Their mileage course is not very realistic. Terrain makes a huge difference with a Hybrid also. We've had ours for 3 months now. Overall average is 31+mpg. It does better in hilly areas, the flatlands not as good.

[@moonlustmoonlust2935]

The mileage is not bad a loaded 3 row box 70 to 80 mph I drive mi ind oh weather pattern has been windy with moderate rain I was being pushed around with 30 thousand + loaded 53 ft refer

[@rodgood]

Diesel Yukon for the win .

[@israelcallejas9353]

Beautiful SUV ❤❤❤

You need to put the vehicle in Eco drive mode and use regenerative braking to maximize the fuel economy.

[@wilmarbarrick3194]

How many "Don't make me come back there" were yelled?😁

[@jillciminillo]

😂 a few

[@C_Marty9101]

Do you think you might have gotten higher MPG if you did more city driving VS highway?

[@jillciminillo]

Maybe? 🤷‍♀

[@Baked13]

... 25 mpg at 70 mph in a brick , full of people, pretty good ...

[@2901gagandeep]

"brick" apparently has 0.29 drag coefficient.

[@michaelhughett8396]

You must not have had the cruise control on because if you had, the FAW camera would have given you warnings and eventually shut the cruise off for taking your eyes off the road to look at the camera. This is a huge issue with new Hyundai vehicles. They have a great self driving system and then ruin it by using a camera that watches your eyes to make sure you don’t take your eyes off the road.

[@jillciminillo]

I had the cruise on.

Can you do a review of the 2025 Toyota Tundra in Chicago?

[@tbr2109]

Those incredibly angular gauge cluster / infotainment system combo setups are not going to age well at all. They don't even look very good right now.

[@1976axerhand]

Maybe these new ones won't burn oil at 30k miles.. too soon xd

[@rinbine2713]

First, aren’t you using an old iPhone? Older models can experience overheating just by running Android Auto. Why am I asking this? Because the "Daily Motor" channel did a similar road trip and they reported that the phone charged wirelessly without any issues and there was no overheating. So, isn't it possible that the problem might not be with the car? Second, does this person even know about cars before reviewing them? They filled the car with 6 people and mostly drove at 70-80 mph, and now they're complaining about the EPA mileage? Is there any car that gets EPA mileage when it's fully loaded and driven at 100 mph? Third, why was the HDA lane change designed that way? Use your brain for a second and think about it. Imagine the situation where you misses a lane change. Should the car override the driver’s input when you’re turning the wheel? The car should prioritize the your’s input. The car has a touch-sensitive steering wheel that recognizes your hands just by resting them on it. You can even lightly tap the left or right blinker to initiate a lane change. Fourth, they're complaining about the seats. If the seats are too soft, you're more likely to get motion sickness. Also, why complain about discomfort and then drive for 3 straight hours without taking breaks? Isn’t that just stupid?

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

I’d respond but wow what an ignorant comment.

[@troystuckey3532]

Geez. Stay classy!

[@rinbine2713]

@@Pickuptrucktalk I'll show you how to test if the problem is with your phone. Connect your phone to the USB and run Android Auto for 2 hours. If your phone gets hot, then the issue is with your phone.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

@ we have been reviewing vehicles for years and we both use our phones in various vehicles. Some vehicles overheat our phones others do not. It has nothing to do with plugging it in or not.

[@sansinutube]

@@Pickuptrucktalk @rinbine2713 presented all valid points though. Rude, but valid points. Try hauling more than 3 adults in a Highlander hybrid and see what kind of mpg you get.

wake up, your dream has come true

[@g7003041]

All brands are trying to make vehicles look uglier. I guess that the trend… see who out do each other. 😅
