2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Almost too new!
Great value. I drove almost everything in this category before driving the new Sante Fe hybrid. I was prepared to not like the new body style but really liked it once I saw one in the showroom. I thought it was odd that the SEL did not come with floor mats. I had to order them. They came in 3 days later and did not fit (??). I had to return them and was told that there was a problem "Hyundai-wide" with the new hybrid floor mats not fitting. No date so far for the "fix." WeatherTech doesn't have them either. That said, the car is a great value! Most vehicles in this class have front seats that are way too small. Not the Sante Fe. First tank of gas is giving 37 mpg. Very comfortable and very quiet. I'm glad I waited for the new body style.

Hope this isn't a sign of things to come.
Recently purchased a 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy trim. So far I've had the following problems: 1. Unable to get the digital key function to work on my I-Phone. Took it to the dealer and they worked with the Blue Link specialists and still haven't solved the problem. 2. I popped the hood and the next day found the handle that's pulled to open the hood on the floor. 3. Unable to get the Home Link function to work. Tried all the methods, training etc. no luck. I have a 2019 Honda Ridgeland with the same Home Link feature and had no problem using the training function on the garage door opener to train the Honda Home Link features. 4. Took a ride this afternoon and after about 5 miles the car started to jerk and stall, warning lights flashed, message appeared to check the charging system, among others. Had to have the car towed to the nearest dealer. Not bad for a $50k+ vehicle that's not a month old.

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!
Poor Man's Defender
Bought the XRT. Fit and finish are outstanding. Inside materials are high quality. Great look and very comfortable seats. Roomy. Tech is really good with wireless charging and Apple and Android car play wireless. Only critical change would be the gear shift location as steering wheel has to be in particular position to see gear selection. Very happy with purchase.

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.
