The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe XL is a very comfortable and quiet vehicle. My wife and I are impressed at how quiet it is on the highway with a strong engine for effortless passing or getting up to speed quickly. We have the Ultimate Ltd with all the options available in 2019. All systems work well and the various camera views are quite handy. No complaints, just very satisfied.

Leased our 2019 SANTA FE XL that was a service loaner with just over 4,000 miles on it. It now has 28,000 and is running great with no issues or repairs needed. Nice car to drive which handles, stops and rides great. We also besides around town drives have taken a cross country trip from Colorado to New Jersey and back with no issues and very good gas mileage. Would recommend this car to anyone.

Our second Hyundai. Great SUV with an abundance of cargo space with 2nd and 3rd row seating folded down. Peppy engine, transmission needs an extra gear. It bogs down about 1200 rpm. Hyundai continues to cheap out however. The SE should include electronic rear gate and some of its safety features as standard. Are 19" rims too much to ask ? Not paying 3600. for this. Dash still looks like cheap plastic. Fix this, and youll have a contender.

Foot Pedals

I love everything about the car with the exception of one major thing. The gas and brake pedals are designed so that the bottom of the pedals are attached to the floor board. This is not something that I would ever consider when purchasing a vehicle. This design causes my right leg to ache and tingle when driving. If you rest your heel on the floor board, the pedals are angled so that you have to tilt your foot up which is unnatural. Instead of being able to push the pedal down, you have to push the pedal forward, again unnatural. There are numerous seat settings and I’ve tried them all hoping to find a setting that would address this issue. Unfortunately, I have yet to find one. I am 5’3” and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m short or if it happens to everyone no matter your height. With this being the case, I HIGHLY recommend that you test drive the vehicle for a long period of time before making your decision. Test drive in traffic so that you have to use the pedals more and can see how they feel. I would have bought this car time and time again however, not anymore. There is nothing worse than driving your car and being in pain and unfortunately, I can’t trade because it’s too new. I hope this review will prevent this from happening to someone else.
