Great SUV

Great SUV. Reliable, powerful and comfortable. Ride quality is good. Handling is good for this size vehicle. Infotainment system good but I still prefer Google maps for navigation. Oil change interval is shortest of major manufacturers.

Great Car

Great car, my wife drives it everyday. Turbo engine accelerates smoothly and has all the tech of higher priced vehicles. Comfortable on long trips. The cooling feature in the seats is nice for warm climates.

My Third Hyundai

This is my third Hyundai and I've loved all of them. I travel a fairly long distance to work and a lot of time the winter weather conditions aren't great. My Hyundai makes me feel safe and I've never had any major issues with snow or inclement conditions. I have to say I was a little disappointed that my engine just went in my 2017 Hyundai sport but they replaced it at no charge and while it was a little inconvenient for me to keep taking it to the dealership until they figured it all out- the new engine is in and hopefully i'll have zero issues moving forward. I"d like to see a little better gas mileage but as in most SUV's I know that 23 to 24 mpg is the going average...and again, I love how they drive and feel so i'll continue to fill the tank.

Best vehicle I've ever owned.

There is nothing not to like about the vehicle. The looks the interior the economy and most of all the value. If I could change anything I would have gotten the all wheel drive and a sunroof well maybe next time.

Santa Fe Sport

The aerodynamics is not good for what I need the vehicle for - much of the rear space is unusable for my needs. The vehicle drives OK. It most likely is not a vehicle I would look at in the future.

Fair

I leaed Hyundai Santafe sport in June 2017. Few months later, I noticed that the engine is noisy and sound insulation is already poor. Recently, there was a jerk everytime the car is about to stop which looks as a gear jolt when it changes from 2nd to 1st gear.

Bought new in 2017. We enjoyed driving it and when service was due, it was a pleasure to work with the service team. We appreciate their care, professional, and work to keep our Santa Fe Sport in good working order.

Good

I’ve never ever received a fair deal on a vehicle purchase. It’s a crap shoot! Manipulate! Let’s see how much we can get! I pay so much for a vehicle I just want to pay off. I will say I feel safe in this vehicle. In all weather. I love the warranty! I take my vehicle to the dealership for service.

Lots to like

There is a lot to like about my Santa Fe Sport Turbo. 1st on the list is the turbo. I would never purchase a 4 cylinder vehicle of this size without it. The only drawback is going downhill while on cruise and the reduced ability to use the engine to slow the vehicle using the downshift feature of the automatic transmission. Being an old manual driver, the 6 cylinder vehicles that I've had allowed for significant saving in brake wear using downshifting especially on curvy mountain roads. The other thing I don't like is the stereo system. It's pretty tinny. Other than that, it drives very well, is responsive and is the right size for my use. The gas mileage has been very good, good enough to not want to consider the extra expense of purchasing a hybrid. Although, if it came through as a plug-in hybrid, I'd definitely buy one. We, along with many neighbors, just had a solar installation done at the house and it would be nice to be able to charge a vehicle at home during the day without losing the extra miles that having a gas option gives.

An Excellent Ride

A very pleasant vehicle to drive with all the amenities you would want. Love the 360 degree cameras and the extremely tight turning radius. Pleasure to drive. The only slightly negative comments are that I wish I got the turbo AWD model but that is because future travel plans would include mountains and snow ❄️.

Worst vehicle I’ve ever owned

Traded in my Sonata for the 2017 Santa Fe Sport. This vehicle is horrible. Within the first month of owning it I have been towed to the dealership 3 times. Even after this 3rd time it feels like it struggles, even on hills. It’s horrible on gas and drives no where near as smooth as my sonata did.

This is our second Hyundai Santa Fe and both have been excellent.

Excellent vehicle, but I don't think we should be charged for the recall work. It is conceded that we could have brought both keys on our first visit. Not being able to use both keys is not an option. We should have brought both keys to be reprogrammed on the first visit.. But, it is felt that , the dealer should have been alert to the fact that we had two keys and not done just the one on our first visit. This dealer has been very good to us and we have been very good to them.

Santa Fe Sport

This is the 3rd Hyundai that I have owned. I had a full size Santa Fe the first time, a loaded Tucson that I kept for 7 years the second go round. It was such a good vehicle, I probably could have driven it forever, but when the Santa Fe Sport came out, I caught the new car fever. This little jewel is a dream to drive and very peppy on the highway. LOVE IT!

Outstanding Vehicle with one exception and that is the passenger seat sits to low and you can't adjust it.As a result to have an uncomfortable passenger that bangs their head on the head rest.That's the only drawback to this vehicle.

I absolutely love my Santa Fe Sport. Great SUV and just the right size for me!! Love the mat in the back, can take it out and wash it and pout it back, saving my carpet back there. Lots of storage room back there also!!
