A world class vehicle with very fair pricing

Johnny Bluz, 04/21/2025
2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric hybrid 6A)
Edit:Now that we have had this vehicle for 4 weeks and put 633 of combined driving on it, I felt a revised review would be much more suitable than my initial (I was so wow'd) type of review. I realize this isn't a lot of mileage, but it's enough to give a much clearer and more accurate review. Exterior: This is very obviously a vehicle with looks that people either really like or flat … out don't. It appears very boxy looking to the naked eye. An up close look shows that it is not quite as boxy as you think. There's some very subtle curves and the roof line slants ending lower in the back. There are a few vents in the front of the vehicle that give it a much lower drag coefficient than I could have imagined. While the paint is very nice looking (Shimmering Silver) it's got the typical Hyundai "orange peel" effect when you look at it more closely. This has been their way since at least 2013 as far as my experience shows. The lines between the various outer body parts are amazingly uniform and well done. The thing of note on this vehicle compared to all the other Hyundai's we've owned. The front and rear doors actually have some serious heft to them. When you close them you hear an authoritative and solid "thunk" almost German car like. The back up lights in the rear are once again way too low. Big design mistake IMO. Overall, I love the shape and am very well satisfied with the quality. A smoother paint job sans the orange peel would be nice. Interior: Here's where I really saw and felt how far they've come since 2022. The interior looks amazing (gray) and very stylish. The front seats are super adjustable through the power settings and very comfortable. It took a while to dial them in, but once I did, I just saved my settings with the 2 person memory seat function. The new style shifter takes some getting used to. It's in a rather odd location compared to my 22 Tuscon Hybrid Limited. Once I got it down, it was a piece of cake. The paddle shifters on this vehicle only function as such when in "sport mode." When in any other mode they function as part of the hybrid battery recharging function. The steering wheel in this vehicle is amazing. It's super comfortable and has a really nice feel. The tilt and telescopic makes it easy to adjust on the fly if you so desire. The controls for everything are within easy and comfortable reach. Many of them for the radio, phone, lane assistance, and cruise control are on the steering wheel. This vehicle has a ton of driver assistance features that are really fun and enjoyable to use. When you're on a road with the proper markings and set everything to on, the vehicles will steer itself on straight roads as well as handle S curves and regular curves like an F1 driver. The advanced cruise control also keeps the exact distance behind the vehicle in front of you and automatically slows down when they do or speeds up when they do. It's very cool to use all these features on longer drives, especially out on country roads. That said, I always have my hands close enough to the wheel to make a quick change if need be. The Bose stereo in the Limited is very nice. It's not the best sounding car stereo I've ever heard but it's clearly a very high quality sounding setup with 11 or 12 speakers including a sub woofer. It's easy to adjust the balance and tone settings to your exact liking as well. The leather on the seating surfaces isn't as nice as the leather used on the Calligraphy. However with proper care and treatment it will last and look great for a long time. The heated seats work amazingly well as does the ventilation feature for warm weather driving. The heated steering wheel function is really great for cold winter days. The back seat is comfortable and has plenty of leg and head room for most. The third row seat I can't comment on as we've never had it up since we've had the vehicle. The Ride Quality: The new SF rides smoother and much more quietly than our two previous versions. On nice roads at speed, it borders on luxury car type smooth. On city streets it does well too. The only time it gets a little rougher is on poorly maintained roads. Overall it's an impressive riding car. The Noise Level: On the highway at 60 to 70 it's really very quiet. I do detect a slight very low decibel level hint of wind noise but not bad at all. On poorly maintained roads you can hear the road bumps and cracks between road sections. That's fairly typical of most cars. The Driving Experience: This is one of the nicer cars to drive that I've ever owned. The steering is very responsive and smooth. The turning radius is very impressive and almost reminded me of one of our Mercedes. That's a nice feature. All the warning systems when utilized make it easy to make sure you're where you're supposed to be at all times. The cameras both front and rear are amazing. They make it so easy to park this vehicle, they're great. The overhead view even lets you make sure you're not too close to the lines in a parking space on either side. This vehicle is one I truly look forward to driving. The ride quality, the tech and safety features, the stereo, the comfort, and the way it looks on the interior especially during nighttime driving just makes me want to drive it. It handles very well in the conditions we've driven it in this far. The Power Train: I was very leery of this little 1.6 liter 4 cylinder turbo being the main source of power for a vehicle that's 900 pounds heavier than our 22 Tucson Hybrids. Those each had the exact same power train. They had plenty of power and in sport mode I was very confident about making high speed passes out on the country roads. Now in the Santa Fe, especially being new, I haven't really put the engine through the paces. Once we get to 1000 miles and I have the oil and filter changed (my idea, not Hyundai's) then I'll be able to test it a bit more aggressively. That stated, make no mistake, this vehicle is huge compared to the 22 Tucson. It will never be as quick. I think of this vehicle as more of a Grand Touring type than a Sporty mid sized SUV. So far the power has been perfectly acceptable in all scenarios. It doesn't drag when getting up to speed on the highway and it feels like there's plenty of horses to get you up to speed in every scenario. Worth noting, the ICE engine turns on and off effortlessly and you'll never even notice. Very smooth transition. The 6 speed transmission is most excellent. It changes gears very quietly and efficiently. It did the same on the Tucson's we had. Conclusion: Even though Hyundai prices have rapidly gotten very high compared to just 5 years ago, they're worth it. The SF Limited Hybrid AWD feels very close to Genesis type luxury. It's a very well designed SUV that is super feature rich. The MPG on the hybrid for our first tank was an astoundingly awesome 35.9. We filled up at 500 miles even though the display said we had well over 100 miles left in our current tank. There was still 4.2 gallons left in the tank before we filled up. That means in the right combination of driving, this SUV will get you 600 miles in between fill ups. That's awesome. I test drove a Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Platinum before buying the SF. It's a nice SUV. However for the 20K more that it would have cost me, I feel 100% positive that for me, I made the proper choice. The 25 SF Limited Hybrid AWD is indeed a world class vehicle in all ways. Even with a window of 48,205 a steal in this market 9/10*
