I Liked It So Much That I Bought A Second Hyundai

2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 6A)

I did a lot of research and it came down to a Honda CR V Hybrid or the Santa Fe Limited Hybrid, I went with the Santa Fe. They are very close but the Santa Fe offered so many standard creature comforts that many were not even offered in the Honda. And those that were really jacked up the price. Add in the better free maintenance package ( 3 yrs vs 2 yrs for the Honda ) and the much better warranty I had to go with the Santa Fe. I'm very impressed with the quality of this SUV. The ride is smooth and very quiet even when in the ICE mode, shifting is smooth and I really like the shift by wire feature. Because I take long road trips for vacations, the search feature on the navigation system is very much appreciated and most importantly, accurate. In fact, all the options offered on the information screen are very usefull. I've saved a lot of money with the gas price listing. The cargo space is huge and the back seats are easy to fold down with just a push of a button. Reclining back seats plus having them heated was an option I couldn't turn down. 2 weeks after I bought the Santa Fe my wife's KIA Forte was stolen and I didn't even hesitate when thinking about what her next car would be. We went back to out Hyundai dealership, looked around and she spotted a blue AWD Kona that she really liked. Given the reputation of Hyundai and my own personal experience we bought it the same day. Hyundai also has a service called Bluelink that I think is truly the bees knees. It allows you to do a lot of options to your car right from your smartphone. The basic lock / unlock feature plus a locator feature among other neat options. It's free for the first 3 years and then a minimal amount every month thereafter. I owned a Honda CR V ( EX L non hybrid) for 6 years which I used as a trade in. I have nothing bad to say about the CR V. But when I compared them 1 : 1, the Santa Fe just seemed like the better overall deal. I was very impressed with the Honda but I have to say, I'm equally impressed if not more so with the Santa Fe.

Excellent Car - only one in its class

Love this car. Exceptionally equipped at this price point. I got the Limited which is better equipped than any competitor within 10k. I suppose it could have slightly higher end finishes on the interior but the interior is still nice. The drive is perfectly adequate. I bought this for the size/mpg year trade off. And. It really is the only car directly in its class. More cargo space than all of its assumed competition and much less money than vehicles only barely larger

Amazing

2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid SEL Premium 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 6A)

I have had the 2022 hybrid SEL for 5 months now. I think the interior with the black stitched leather is beautiful. I have great leg room in the backseat, and great cargo room in the trunk. It has great pick up while In sport mode . And I’m averaging excellent gas mileage! Most trips average between 35-42 mpg. I’ve even hit 48 mpg a few times! My only complaint is the insanely obnoxious warning bell that the Hybrid has even the vehicle is in reverse. It is so loud and can be rather embarrassing. It sounds like you’re backing up a FedEx truck. And there is no way to turn this off, except cutting the wire In your grill. Hyundai should do something like the Toyota RAV4 hybrid. They have a whirling sound. Overall this is one of the best vehicles I’ve ever had. Infant my partner likes this better than my Mercedes GLB.

Great warranty — If only Hyundai honored it

2022 Santa Fe Hybrid with 6,700 miles. Total system failure. Now in the shop for 36 days and still no fix. Hyundai USA is ignoring my case and request for refund under VA lemon law. Time to get an attorney. Seems this is a recurring problem with Hyundai corporate care. Think twice.

My Santa Fe Hybrid drives like a dream. It sits up high and drives smoothly on 19 inch wheels. The Stormy Sea shimmery blue color is exactly what I wanted. The unique grill and body lines are gorgeous! The interior is roomy and extremely comfortable with plenty of leg room. This is my first hybrid. As a conscientious nature lover, I’m so happy that I can drive over 500 miles without filling up the gas tank. It has all the power and pick up I need with the quiet engine a hybrid provides, and I appreciate.
