I researched new cars for months, and test drove numerous vehicles. This is my first Hyundai (after 5 straight Subaru outbacks). Awesome technology, great ride, and the turbo is exceptional. Great warranty!

Well let me start by saying I owned and just sold a 2008 Sante Fe with 135,000 miles on it and it never let me down. Hyundai dealer did full warranty work when i had a blinking red engine light go on at the 99,962 mile mark. Fixed it for nothing! My new 2021 Hyundai Sante Fe limited is my 20th new vehicle! ( I'm 66) I traded in my 2017 Honda Pilot. The Pilot was just too big and handling/power was terrible. Roomy...but that's about it. My 2008 Sante Fe had a better ride than the Pilot. This new 2021 Santa Fe is by far THE BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED! The styling in and out is excellent. It is very QUIET! ....It is FAST!... It handles like you are WEARING IT! It is TIGHT!!!! Plus you get all the high tech u could ever want!!!! Rides, handles, accelerates better than any MB...or BMW.......you cannot beat the return on your dollar!!! Test drive it....BUY IT!!!!! NOW!!!!!!

If you are looking for a mid size SUV you must test drive the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe. It is quick, quiet, comfortable, and extreme well made with excellent fit and finish. There are some much technology it is amazing, and all to keep you, your family, and friends safe. I traded in my 2017 Santa Fe for the 2021, and every time I drive the new car I am surprised and delighted with how far Hyundai has come in building an excellent SUV.

Lemon electrical system on delivery

Just received the car back after four days at the dealer. They said the problem was fixed. They said it was a wire and a pin. Well... once the lights came on they would not turn off. The side mirrors would not retract, the interior lights would not turn off. I started that car up again and put the headlight in the off position. The interior still stayed on. I have had this car in my name for 3 weeks. It has been in and out of the repair shop for three weeks and dead waiting to go in for 3 days. I only drove this car for three days during daylight hours. This is patheactic and unacceptable. I want this returned. If ever there was a lemon this one is it. I never should have accepted delivery. It started that day and hasn't been fixed since.

Really 4.5 stars, but that's not an option 2 annoyances: - Lacks support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (which base models have?!) for the 10.25" infotainment equipped vehicles - Very laggy system response after the SUV sits for more than a few minutes. Upon starting, plan to sitting around WAITING to select a profile for seat adjustments? Not a fan. While nothing can be done on the driver-side about the wireless smartphone debacle, taking advantage of the included 3 years of BlueLink to Remote Start 2-3 minutes before heading to the SUV gives the laggy computer system time to wakeup. I really like this machine more every day. However, it's only been about a week, and I'm coming from a truck. It's quiet, comfortable (for REALLY large/wide people the seats might not work-out), has AMAZINGLY comfy backseat, rides smoothly and pleases my eyes and hands with every interaction. The turbo-lag and transmission need some getting used to, but after a short time I'm already much more confident in its response in a pinch (haven't really tried the gear-selector paddles, and doubt I'll need to). CUDOS for numerous switches, the clever use and organization are great! (love the rocker and depress type multi-switches used all over the controls!!!). If the infotainment panel dies... it'll still run just fine until repaired. Also, I live in a hot climate, and the quality and speed of cooling from these ventilated seats CRUSHES every other vehicle I used.
