2024 Hyundai Santa Fe SUV Consumer Reviews
Pricing
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.

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.

Loving the ride
I love my Santa Fe. It is just the right size. Not to big not to little. It is a hybrid model so the mpg is impressive. My model is FWD so the turning radius is awesome. Can zip into tight spots with ease. A very comfortable ride. On windy days there is some cabin noise. But it does not take away from the enjoyment of the ride.

Poorly designed and tested Infotainment system
Mechanically my Santa Fe XRT is fine. So far no problems or complaints. The Infotainment, HVAC and other systems are a failure. - When the sun shines on the controls for AC, heat, etc they are unreadable -The radio media selected like Sirius, AM, Favorites, etc will change on it's own while driving - On one of the info screens the Nav background is unreadable black and cannot be changed - The date and time is missing or grayed out on most screens - When the car is turned off the entire electrical system turns off - no delay until a door is opened - The front wipers are hidden beneath the hood - not sure how to change wiper blades - You cannot lock the doors when exiting the car by pressing the lock button on the drivers door There are other quirks but these are every day issues. I suggest you wait for updated Santa Fe models or look at other makes

I love this suv.
This car is fantastic! I bought it about six months ago and it’s been amazing so far. The comfort is great, and the technology is top-notch. The sound system is a bit of a letdown, though. It’s not the best (for being BOSE) because they pack the speakers on the front and they just sound loud, not harmonious. The semi-autonomous driving is great for the price, and the air conditioning, heating, and cooling are top-notch. For being a small SUV, the space is surprisingly great. We packed two weeks’ worth of luggage, three adults, and we brought back more stuff (souvenirs) and it fit perfectly. Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase. It’s fun, comfortable, and packed with tech. I highly recommend it!
