2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Consumer Reviews

Mechanical issues
I love the SUV as far as design and features. But it as too early to buy as far as them fine tuning and figuring out the issues. My car will set the emergency break on its own if too much vibration is near me. Such as a car with too much bass, or a automatic car wash. My car will get stuck in emergency brake mode and it won't release for several minutes ( I was stuck in the car wash for 30 minutes, in the middle of a busy road for over 5 minutes) . You have to shut the car off and on and repeat until it resets. My car also when reversing doesn't always go back into drive. Usually just happen in my driveway but happened in a parking lot the other day. Not good. My valet mode didn't work when I left my car at a hotel when I left town for a week. I was very unhappy. My backup camera stays on when I am driving forward. At times the backup camera will not go on.

Senior Driver
I was driving a 2016 gas highlander so my comments are a comparison to that. Our new Santa Fe is almost a 5 star based on our requirements of safety assist features, fuel efficient, and well equipped 3 row suv with captain chairs ( only offered in Calligraphy). The Santa Fe is a wow for luxury throughout, quiet and the audio is stellar. The list of safety features is outstanding and if you’re a features person, this is your vehicle. MPG is as rated. Things to note: The change from a gas suv to a hybrid. Acceleration is slower but it performs well at highway speeds. Gear shift is on the steering wheel and takes some getting use to versus center console. It takes some time to set up the infotainment features, including the driver profiles (including fingerprint sign in), but MyHyundai assist is helpful. No spare tire (unlike the gas Santa Fe) and is equipped with a tire pump. Matte finish - if you choose this per Hyundai hand wash only! Cargo Cover - no under rear floor storage on hybrid, gas model only. No over head sun glass storage or convenient coin storage. Check which tires you get - ours were pirelli which are noted to be a quiet excellent tire. Lesser tires could add to cabin noise. Sorry if this is TMI.

No Sunglasses Please
We like the vehicle very much. It drives and handles well for us. Strong engine, roomy interior, and unusual outside design. Liked everything on it until I put on sunglasses while driving. The little camera on the steering column can't see your eyes and therefor shuts the cruise control off. Who wants a modern day vehicle with a cruise control that won't work? The little smart camera cannot be disconnected either.

New model looks great but check engine!
Bought the car in May 2024. Great looking exterior and interior and over the top technology. First problem was with battery as it was dead. Had tow truck recharge battery. Learned that you need to drive a hybrid at least 2 days a week as battery won’t get recharged. I have 2k miles on car and recently got a transmission power message and was losing acceleration on the highway heading home. Had it towed to dealership where I already had an appointment for a recall. I had called the dealership and gave him all the details of the issues I was having and the service manager called me to ask me what was wrong with my car. I explained to him all the issues and then had to call back again because I never heard back from the dealership, they told me they were working on it and I have not heard back from the dealership . Not at all happy with Hyundai service and now I understand why they have such a high mileage warranty because they can’t fix the cars. I would not recommend this car at this point in time. I will give them credit for the new look of the Santa Fe SUV but need to work on the engine and improve service!
They thought of everything!
I was looking for a new car, and when I saw the redesign I was instantly interested. Never owned a Hyundai, so was a bit skeptical. Once I saw the car in person and drove it, I was very impressed. Many cool features- 5 star overall safety rating, the car pulls out of a tight parking spot with a remote control, uv sanitizer, cameras everywhere, matte finish, interior is absolutely amazing, drives smooth, I love I do not need a key any more I can drive car with my phone, I can go on and on. Oh yeah 10 year power train, 5 year bumper to bumper and 3 years complimentary maintenance. I’ve owned 10 cars in my life this one hands down is the best value I ever had.
