2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Consumer Reviews

Avoid the 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid
My 2024 Sante Fe Limited Hybrid was great for the first 2K miles then things started to go bad with the battery and electrical system. Same story as several others with the battery draining for no reason, diagnostics code for brakes, accidence avoidance, and power steering preventing my car from driving and the check engine light is on 100% of the time. Also, the rear power liftgate will intermittently not work to open or close the liftgate. Dealership has had the car twice and claims they can't find anything wrong. I have shared the photos with them, and now have to wait 3 weeks until they have an opening to take another look. By far the worst experience I have ever had with buying a new car.

Terrible vehicle and Hyundai doesn't care
I leased a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate Call, and it has been nothing short of a disaster. Within the first few months, the transmission began slipping, shuddering, and surging — making driving unpredictable and unsafe. Despite multiple dealership visits, software updates, and even a full transmission replacement, the issues persist. Since the transmission was replaced, the vehicle has stalled unexpectedly, and now the driver’s display and HUD randomly black out while driving. Add to that a horn that failed multiple times, buttons on the power driver's seat that no longer work, a malfunctioning auto start/stop system, and strange noises after rain — and you’ve got a vehicle that feels like it’s falling apart before it even hits 15,000 km. I’ve contacted the dealership numerous times, even appealed to their empathy, but have received no meaningful resolution. I contacted Hyundai Canada - they told me to deal with the dealership. This car is unreliable, unsafe, and a constant source of stress. I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone — not even as a rental. Save yourself the headache. Look elsewhere.

Surprised by what’s missing
I traded my 2020 GMC Acadia for the 2024 Calligraphy. What I lost-can’t unlock car from any door handle, no retained accessory power so car has to be on to use the garage door opener, can’t shut the tailgate hands free, no sunglasses holder, no lights stay on to indicate the car has been successfully remote started, getting about 2mpg less on combined MPG. While the tech on this car is amazing and I love the look I feel like my driving experience is less refined. The double clutch transmission is a little clunky and you’ll feel a shudder fairly regularly between the first and second gear.

Amazing value
Purchased the XRT model a few weeks ago. Traded in a 2018 Audi Q5. The Santa Fe is super smooth, has more comfortable seats, more cargo capacity, higher ground clearance and uses regular fuel. I don’t need the third row and just leave it folded and covered with a cargo mat. This vehicle has exceeded my expectations. I never got comments about the Q5 but so many people have commented on the looks of the Santa Fe (positively). My only complaint is that I’m starting to see too many of them popping up in my neighborhood! Hyundai has a definite hit here.

Big time buyers remorse.
The technology is distracting and is like driving with your mom. The adaptive cruise control puts you about a 1/4 miles behind the car on front of you on the closest setting. The or camera will chirp at you if you look away for about 3 seconds which is obnoxious and infuriating. The 2.4 turbo is AWFUL!!!! The turbo lag is the worst I’ve ever felt in a car ever and the mileage isn’t that great for how much power you give up. It has less tech than the old palisade with less room. I regret buying this car more than any other car I’ve ever purchased. They really dropped the ball with the tech.
