2024 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV Consumer Reviews

Terrible software
Do not buy this vehicle unless you want to deal with extremely annoying software issues. The "consider taking a break" is the worst of several. This seriously goes off every ten minutes or so. Sometimes not for hours and then every ten minutes at other times. The "front facing" software is equally irritating. You cannot have your right arm on the opposite side of the wheel or vice versa, making for some real short comings on comfort. The key fobs are a joke as is the two available settings for the seats. They do not hold the settings. I am seriously considering selling the 2024 Santa Fe and going back to Toyota as Hyundai is no help. All they say is "you used to be able to turn those off, but for some reason on the 24's you cannot!" big help... It does ride nice and I like the looks but these software issues are just too much to deal with.

A one year old Santa Hooray
As I've mentioned in previous reviews we've had 2 Lexus GX, a 2003 and 2011. Loved both, put over 350,000 combined over an eight year period. So I decided to purchase a new vehicle. But a new GX was a bit out of our range and the Hyundai warranty is an excellent incentive. In any event One year anniversary 27,000 miles 80% highway No mechanical issues Very peppy 2.5Turbo 22-28 MPH Ride is very quiet 3 rows Seats 7-8 which I've utilized The XRT is their off road edition, a few inches higher road clearance. The squared off rear gate is an excellent feature for hauling large awkward "stuff" Very pleased. The screens are a trip Very legible and tech rich These are becoming very popular in my part of SE Pa. The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT became that choice.

Happy
Bought one a couple of months ago and I can truly say that this vehicle is and was everything I expected it to be. I live in Kokomo, Indiana and have to drive to the Indianapolis area frequently. I am getting between 32 and 34 miles per gallon (with the AC on). It is roomy, spacious, very comfortable to own. I have owned several cars in the 75 years I have been alive. I would definitely own another SantaFe. I had started out wanting a Palisade; however, it is tight squeeze in a two-car garage with two cars in it. It performs exceptionally well on the open highway. The SEL is the trim for features and functionability.

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.

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.
