Driving through the desert, in a car loaded with six people, at 75 mph. There’s no way you could expect to get the EPA rating.
Wait You’re telling me the car loaded with 5-6 passengers in a high altitude desert didn’t get the listed 34-35 mpg. Shocking.
I lost it at "A small hybrid like the Santa Fe" BRO It's not a small hybrid lmao
Nobody ever mentions my favorite feature. Hyundai's "search settings" feature. You just had your oil changed? Do a voice command "search settings for oil" or "search settings for oil change". Tap on the oil change setting to reset it, and you're done. Don't dig in those menus. You want to change the color of the highlights in your calligraphy? "Search settings for color" and change the color. You really don't even have to stop the car, although you should do these things while you're parked...
The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid impressed over its yearlong stay with us, as our staff enjoyed just how easy it was to live with in the day-to-day or even on a long road trip. But its Land Rover-esque styling was a little divisive, inspiring both love and hate from our team. What do you think about the Santa Fe's new look? Is it a good direction for Hyundai, or do they need a new schtick? Let us know in the comments below!
Have a Gravity Gold Matte paint on a IONIQ 5 with a similarly light (grey/white) interior and both have been easy to care for. Nice to see it grow with the family it’s just us these days. 15:20
My Santa Fe is just a year old so your review was very interesting. I got just over 31 mpg for this first year and on individual trips I often get 34 mpg. It is a big vehicle to manage in small spaces but I love it for longer road trips. The cargo space is fabulous and the car feels safe when I'm driving my grandchildren.
Wow that center console storage lol
I have the Santa Fe Calligraphy and I'm delighted with all its features. I recommend it one hundred percent.
Thanks for the review. I love that matte bronze colour, but that’s the first time I have heard in any of the MANY reviews I have watched that it can’t go through a car wash!
