Positive Review

"Bold and Boxy"

It definitely gonna stand out in the crowd. Practical and modern cockpit. It is more of a comfort car.

Critical Review

"Automated Nightmare"

This 2024 Santa fe xrt awd is the most Dangerous vehicle I've ever owned. The computer and cameras will drive you nuts. This vehicle never shuts up. It's constantly alerting about something making me look at the screen. It hits the breaks for no reason. It decides if I can pull out across traffic not me as it sometimes refuses to go. It doesn't like anything it thinks is in the way. It's very dangerous. I'm also getting emails from it and it's been telling me to service it since 2nd month and 2k miles. It updates and if you don’t like phone updates wait until your car does it. Nothing remains the same. Constantly having to relearn the features. Don’t even use the cruise control as it's always hitting the breaks irritating the vehicles behind you enough that im always getting cutoff and flipped off as they pass me when i use it. After 5 months and almost 5k miles I tried to sell it back to ft.myers hyundai and was offered 75% of what I paid. I'm just ecstatic about them and this purchase. Worst buying decision I've ever made!

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid
Pros

Great interior and all kinds of extras, safety features, very quiet ride, gas mileage

Cons

None

I bought the 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid and love it. It has so many safety features, comfortable and the gas mileage is amazing. The details and features are what you would find in a luxury SUV.

Driver eye camera

Can't use cruise control with sunglasses, and don't put hand at 12 o'clock on steering wheel. Don't look away to see if there is something left or right of you. All these things will turn off cruise control and give you an audible warning that becomes quite annoying. Even if you are not using cruise control you will get annoying warning to take a break. Dealer won't tell you about it and there is no way to turn it off. Don't buy if you where sunglasses while driving

2nd Santa Fe

We traded our 2023 for a 2025 Santa Fe. The new one is loaded with technology and they offer more of that for less. I do not like the dual clutch transmission. A lot of the features like instrument cluster looks generic. I hate the cluster. I preferred the buttons for transmission. Overall, it is a comfortable smooth ride on the highway. Quiter than the Toyota rav4 and would buy again

Great Value for the Price
2/3/2025
Comfortable and no issues with mine
Pros

Lots of tech and features

Cons

A little more plastic pieces on the outside than I like

I really love the new style. It's different and I love the great warranty Hyundai provides. Mine is the Limited and has a lot of great features. I got a great end of the year deal, and I love that I use my phone and don't need the key like my Tesla.

Total lemon

Unfortunately with the severity of the recalls and issues affecting the new generation it is undriveable. Shame because the overall design, comfort, and feel wete amazing for the price point. Corporate and service employees were difficult to deal with and just generally incompetent. Will not recommend brand.
