I bought the '24 Sante Fe SEL hybrid after testing almost all competitors. Nothing came close to this vehicle. Great ride. Tons of room. Lots of safety and convenience features at a great price. I've had it for 15 months and 13000 miles. Averaging 41 MPG. Very happy with this car with the exception of the AC/Heat control touch screen. The icons are WAY too small and VERY poorly lit. Touch screen is always covered in fingerprints and icons are completely invisible in certain sunlight conditions. In the winter I can't make any changes while wearing gloves - extremely annoying and super distracting/unsafe. I read that Europe has banned touch screens in new cars after 2026 due to the distractions they cause. I also read that Hyundai will be making changes in 2026 to include buttons and dials. I really like this car and will be the first in line to trade it in when Hyundai replaces the touch screen with usable controls like those in the 2023 model.

Worst car I have ever owned

Purchased a '24 Santa FE Hybrid Calligraphy trim. Car broke down at 350 miles. Was at the dealership for 30 days. Determined that catalytic converter was faulty. Hyundai replaced and I proceeded to drive the car another 3k miles at which point it broke down yet again while I was 200 miles away from home. Engine check light came on, message to check charging system, and the car went into limp mode (i.e. will not go over 30mph). Had it towed to the nearest dealer in Wausau, WI (which was 50 miles from where I was staying). The dealer did a quick diagnostic and said no codes were appearing although I have a photo I took of the dash showing the engine and charging check lights on. The dealer could not provide a loaner or a rental, so I had to book a car with Avis out-of-pocket. I am now without a car YET AGAIN waiting for it to be transported to the Hyundai in Downers Grove, Illinois where I purchased this vehicle. I have purchased several new cars over my lifetime, and I have NEVER experienced anything quite like this. $52k for this?

Great mileage because it doesn’t work

Bought a Santa Fe hybrid calligraphy in June 12volt battery issues. The vehicle has been at the dealership for over 3 months. The 12 volt battery keeps being drained to the point of being ruined. Hyundai is aware of the issue and is working on it. The dealership has given me a courtesy car but I bought a Santa Fe and by now it should have been repaired. I filed a claim through Hyundai, my case worker was rude. Rick

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.

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.
