2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Review

Price Range: $12,995 - $24,590

2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 2.0T 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe walks the line between the small and midsize SUV classes in almost every respect. You get almost-midsize space and features for the price of a small SUV. It's an appealing SUV, and its warranty can't be beat. A better powertrain selection and a reconfigured driver's seat would do wonders here.

8/4/2020

Fresh from a redesign of last year's model, the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe carries into the new model year with no significant changes. But that's just fine with us. This latest-generation Santa Fe has an improved cabin look and feel. And, as is Hyundai's custom, it comes loaded with standard features, many of which come at an extra cost on its competitors.

On the downside, the quiet and roomy cabin falls a little short in overall cargo capacity. We're also unmoved by the Santa Fe's base engine. It'll do the job around town and has enough passing power for the freeway. But when you need to summon all of the Santa Fe's reserves, you have to be assertive and lay on the pedal. There is an optional, more powerful turbo engine, but that requires jumping a few trim levels — and several thousand dollars — to get it.

But overall, the Santa Fe does an excellent job at balancing the priorities of most compact SUVs. The interior is roomy, the ride is comfortable, and there's enough technology for everyone to stay connected. If you need something larger, consider a three-row SUV such as the Hyundai Palisade or the related Kia Telluride. But if you're looking for good value among two-row SUVs, you'll want the Santa Fe on your short list. Notably, the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe is a featured vehicle in our Cheapest New Cars article.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Good

7.8

out of 10

We drove the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7/10

How does the Santa Fe drive? Despite its turbocharged engine, our Santa Fe Limited test vehicle was only a bit quicker than a previous Santa Fe we tested with the base engine. The turbo engine isn't responsive at low rpm, and you have to wait a bit before the turbo kicks in and provides extra thrust. In our testing it went from 0 to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, which is slower than most of its direct rivals with upgraded engines. The transmission is quick to upshift as well, which means it can be in too high a gear if you want an immediate burst of speed.

Other aspects of the Santa Fe's driving experience are similarly underwhelming. The brake pedal is good for smooth stops around town, but the Santa Fe's emergency stopping distances were longer than average in our testing. Handling capability is fine, but the steering doesn't give you much feel for the road or an idea of where the wheels are pointed.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Santa Fe? The Santa Fe is a fairly comfortable SUV overall, but a few missteps keep it from being the cushiest in the segment. Ride quality is firmer than you might expect, though we think most drivers would prefer it to an overly floaty ride. Interior noise is generally muted, though tire noise is particularly noticeable on grainy or coarse road surfaces. You'll hear the turbocharged engine at low speeds, but it fades into the background at about 35 mph or so.

The seats are a high point thanks to their comfortable padding and multitude of adjustments. The dual-zone climate control system is easy to use and features vents for rear passengers. The system's auto mode can occasionally be stingy with the air flow. We like that you can get ventilated front seats, which are a rarity at this price point.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The Santa Fe's cabin is logically laid out, with all major controls within easy reach of the driver. Operation is not overreliant on the touchscreen, and the cabin is all the better for it. The interior is also quite roomy, even when comparing the Santa Fe to larger midsize SUVs. But headroom is not expansive, so taller occupants might feel a little uncomfortable sitting upright.

Sitting in the driver's seat is generally unpleasant. The seat is mounted too high, while the steering wheel is too low. It makes it tricky to get in and out — requiring carefully navigating around the steering column — and creates a compromised seating position. On the plus side, the low dashboard allows for an unobstructed forward view. The rear view is obstructed by wide rear roof pillars.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The touchscreen infotainment system is easy to read and use. Key functions are readily accessible on the main page, and icons are sized well and spaced to avoid a cluttered look. Physical buttons surround the touchscreen, making it simple to access oft-used functions such as track skipping or navigation.

Device integration is one of the Santa Fe's strong points. Our Limited tester had four USB ports spread throughout the cabin, plus a wireless charging pad and a 115-volt outlet. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone projection is also standard.

Voice commands work with radio, phone and navigation, and they respond well to natural speech. As for driver aids, adaptive cruise is excellent in stop-and-go traffic, and the sensitivity of features such as lane departure and blind-spot warning is customizable.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? At 35.9 cubic feet, the Santa Fe's cargo space is average for the class. But the sliding and reclining second-row seat improves flexibility for accommodating passengers and cargo.

Interior storage isn't exactly generous, but the center console is spacious enough for personal items. The door pockets can accommodate a water bottle, and a shelf on the passenger side dash can hold large phones. The Santa Fe makes it easy to fit child safety seats in any of the three rear seat positions thanks to clearly marked upper and lower car-seat anchor points.

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? We tested the Santa Fe with the turbocharged four-cylinder and front-wheel drive. The EPA estimates it gets 23 mpg combined (20 city/27 highway). Other midsize SUVs have similar estimates, but the Santa Fe does better than rivals powered by V6s. Based on our testing, we expect that you'll easily be able to match these numbers in real-world driving.

Value

9/10

Is the Santa Fe a good value? Even though it slots between the small and midsize SUV segments in terms of size, the Santa Fe hews to the former when it comes to price. That means you get a bigger car for the money — and the features you'd expect from a more expensive vehicle. Though the cabin looks a little plain, there's not much hard plastic, and panel creaks and rattles were nonexistent.

Hyundai (along with its corporate cousin, Kia) continues to offer the best warranty in the business. Bumper-to-bumper coverage is good for five years/60,000 miles, while the powertrain is covered for 10 years/100,000 miles. Hyundai also provides roadside assistance for five years/unlimited miles and covers scheduled maintenance for three years/36,000 miles.

Wildcard

7.5/10

Even though the turbocharged four-cylinder exhibits some surge-y power delivery, it's vastly preferred to the weak standard engine. No matter which powertrain you get, the Santa Fe offers a comfortable ride and decent handling. Not bad, but the Santa Fe isn't a crossover you'd yearn to drive.

In the era of style-first crossovers such as the Blazer or even quietly handsome Passport, the Santa Fe's design comes off as a bit bland. Its biggest strengths lie in its competitive pricing, robust features list and "tweener size.

2020 Hyundai Santa Fe trim level differences

The 2020 Santa Fe is a five-passenger crossover available in three trim levels: SE, SEL and Limited. The SE comes loaded with features ranging from essential to useful, including stain-resistant cloth upholstery, a noise-reducing windshield, reclining rear seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity, and driver aids such as automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams.

Which Santa Fe trim does Edmunds recommend?

We'd recommend most shoppers consider the SEL trim. The SEL keeps the price of entry reasonable, yet it still offers surprising comfort and convenience features such as heated seats, upgraded touchscreen display, and driver aids (blind-spot monitoring, safe exit assist). Compared to the next-level-up Limited trim, the SEL isn't missing much. That said, you can add two robust option packages to the SEL if so inclined.

2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 8A)

I love this vehicle. I think the Edmunds review and some other review pages have short changed this model. First off the performance. I test drove the 2.0T and the 2.4L in FWD and AWD options. The 2.0T is going to give you a little more zip and an AWD as expected going to give you a tighter feel on the road. It really just boils down to driver preference and if you want to pay for … it. My wife and I went with the SEL 2.4L FWD with the convenience and premium package upgrades. Where we live AWD isn’t really necessary and we don’t haul anything. We also have a baby on the way so a sporty fast accelerating SUV wasn’t what we were looking for. The mpg has also performed better than what the manufacturer has stated. In the city have been averaging probably 24-27mpg and straight highway 30-33. I think the 2.4L engine is a little noisier, but still extremely quiet when driving. In regards to some of the complaints about accelerating we haven’t really had that issue. I’m a fuel save kind of driver so I’m not gunning it off the line. In the few times I’ve needed to get up to speed quicker there hasn’t been any issue. I’m not sure if all trim levels have it, but ours has the auto engine shut off when it comes to a stop (fuel saving feature). If this isn’t something you’re used to then it can be an adjustment period getting acclimated to it. It will feel like a delay if you’re quick on accelerating from a stop because the engine needs to reengage itself. I have this feature on a company car for a Ford Escape and the Santa Fe works remarkably better. This feature can be turned off if you’re not a fan. The best way to do it is let your foot off the brake, let the engine engage, roll, and then accelerate it really isn’t that big of an issue, and again you can turn it off if you choose. The safety features also a huge plus, adaptive cruise, collision warning, lane assist, blind spot monitoring, etc. The SEL and higher trims come with Bluelink complimentary for 3 years, basically Hyundai’s version of OnStar. Allows us to remote start with temperature control, check vehicle diagnostics, geolocate, security features should vehicle ever get stolen, and more. Has worked extremely well, wife loves the remote start. The interior is top notch. I read another site review that was dogging on the interior and I’m not sure what vehicle they got into. With the upgraded packages ours has the leather interior with the espresso/gray style and it looks sharp. I like the interior to be somewhat unique so the espresso/gray was perfect. The only interior I wasn’t crazy about was the all black, looked kind of basic, but the other standard cloth options looked really nice, just enough contrast and design to make it stand out. The upgraded packages do help give it a little more of a wow factor, premium sound system, led lights, leather, upgraded dash features, moonroof, and so on. If the packages are in your price point I’d highly recommend them. It also has a smart lift gate feature that you don’t realize how handy it is until you come out of the store full of bags in both hands. If the vehicle is locked and you have the key fob on you, all you have to do is stand behind the gate for 3 seconds and it will automatically open. No dancing your foot under the bumper to try and open, just stand there. The storage is adequate, it has compartments under the flooring in the trunk area, and the rear seats fold down. The warranty is outstanding as well, maybe best in the industry. For the price point and what you get with this vehicle it’s a really hard vehicle to pass up. When beginning the car search my wife was not a fan of Hyundai and didn’t even want to entertain test driving it, but given the manufacturer specials, the warranty, and the price talked to her into trying it. She did a complete 180 after the test drive and loved it. With all the features of the Santa Fe and the price compared to other midsize SUV models everything else we were looking at didn’t stand a chance. We bought the vehicle so obviously a little biased, but it has been a pleasure to drive. We have a family member who has a high end Mercedes SUV also considered a midsize and I honestly would take the Santa Fe, better designed interior, more room, user friendly controls, better driving angles, much better price. I would highly recommend this vehicle, or if you’re not sure at least test drive it like we did and go from there.

This car walks and talks!

2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 8A)

The Santa Fe Limited has more features than any car for the price and higher. You put on the blinker and you get a picture view of what is beside you. My back seat used to be full of jackets and shoes. The Limited has storage under the back area. Everything fits! The tailgate opens, no trying to balance on one foot - just stand there for 4 seconds.

2020 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 8A)

The 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe has sincerely met my expectations and then some. I ended up getting the SEL trim but got FW drive instead of the AWD. I personally felt for the money that I am more than content and satisfied with FWD and with all the extra features included that AWD is honestly a waste of money for what my needs are. The revamped upholstery in the 2020 SantaFe is so awesome. …

Pleasant surprise

DDDESQ, 01/12/2020

2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 2.0T 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I had never considered a Santa Fe. Once I drove it, I was very pleasantly surprised at what a great vehicle it is. I cross shopped it with the 2020 Ford Edge and 2020 Ford Escape. Was planning on buying a Ford based on great past experience with Ford products (Escape, Edge and Expedition). For me, the Santa Fe Limited was the best fit. Incredible features for about $10,000 less than a … comparable Edge Titanium and similar pricing with the Escape Titanium, both with similar equipment. Fantastic value, drives great, and is sized just right for me, larger than Escape, smaller than Edge. I love it. Interior: At 6’4” tall, I appreciate the room in the Santa Fe. The power driver’s seat cushion extension is a great feature. The feature set in the Santa Fe was larger than the Ford’s, with the exception of the auto park feature that Ford has and the Santa Fe does not. Was not a deal killer. The other features and additional room in the Santa Fe were more important. My wife’s Escape has the auto park feature and she never uses it. If you can’t parallel park, maybe you should not be driving! Exterior: I really like the look of the Santa Fe. The Edge looks great too, but from behind the wheel it seems as broad as a barn. The Escape seemed a tad too small, and the 2020 Escape looks more like a wagon than a crossover. The Santa Fe styling just stands out. The exterior camera system is a really helpful feature. The blind spot cameras are far more useful than I thought they would be. The surround view display is very helpful in the parking garage I use daily. For me, the look of a car seals the deal. If you don’t like what you see walking towards or away from your car, it just isn’t the right car for you. Drive: The Santa Fe drives smaller than the Edge and larger than the Escape. Honestly, the Escape with the 2.0 is quicker, but also requires premium fuel for maximum performance, just like the 2.0 in the Edge. The 2.0 in the Santa Fe runs great on regular gas. The price difference of about 40 cents a gallon really adds up over the life of the car. I keep cars a long time. My daily driver before the Santa Fe was a 1997 Chrysler Town & Country with 210,000 miles on it. Still ran well, but was time to retire it. The Santa Fe is quiet, refined, handles and rides well. Intangibles: The Hyundai warranty is far better than Ford, and it has the highest possible safety ratings from multiple organizations. JD Power quality awards too. It is very well thought out, ergonomically friendly, and very easy to use. As I mentioned in the beginning, I was not expecting to be as impressed with the Santa Fe. I’m still a satisfied Ford customer, but the Santa Fe just seems like a better car for my needs. Will be anxious to see how it does over time and if it lives up to its universal acclaim and awards. So far, I’m very happy. 6 Month Update After 6 months and over 11,000 miles my opinion of the Santa Fe remains the same. Still very happy with the car in all respects. In town the Transmission shift patterns are such that the power delivery is not as smooth as my wife’s Escape, but it is not a problem. Just annoying every once in a while. Still averaging almost 30 MPG so very happy with that. I have learned how to adjust the driver aids such as not having the lane keep assist intervene as aggressively as in the beginning when the solid line on the side of the road veers away at the entrance to a right turn lane. I continue to be very happy that I purchased the Santa Fe. One Year Update-Still Very Satisfied Over a year has passed since I purchased my Santa Fe. 21,000 miles on the odometer. Am still very happy with the purchase. Everything I liked about it when new I continue to like. If there is a negative, it is that the windshield seems very easy to get very small stone chips in it. These are the ones that are too small to repair but are visible in the sunlight, etc. I have read about the 2021 model changes and seen pictures of the new model. I don’t care for the front end styling and prefer my center console design to the 2021 version. I do like the more powerful turbo engine and the new top end model with its extra features. However, I am still very pleased with what I have and will continue to enjoy it. Have had zero service issues other than routine maintenance every 5,000 miles. Still very satisfied. At the 2.5 year mark with 54,000 miles. A bit irritated that I had to change spark plugs at 45,000 miles but that is what the schedule recommends. Most other cars’ plugs last 90,000-100,000 miles. Other than that very minor matter, still totally satisfied with the Santa Fe. Zero issues of any kind other than routine maintenance. Still give it 5 stars.
