Had problems with the driver assistance camera.

The driver assistance camera on the steering wheel doesn’t work probably. You can’t wear sunglasses when you drive because the driver assistance camera can’t see your eyes therefore it doesn’t work properly.

2025 Hyundai Santa Fe - Best Car EVER

This is my favorite car that I have ever owned! First and foremost, the safety features are superb! That was my #1 goal, to get a vehicle that I feel safe in since I drive a lot for work in a busy city! The electronics in this car are user friendly, stereo system is very nice with Bose speakers; I LOVE my two sun/moon roofs! The car is so smooth and quiet, excellent gas mileage, especially for the size of the car! I can't say enough about this vehicle, I LOVE IT!

Will's XRT

I love my 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT because it fills all my needs. Not only is it extremely stylish it's tough and rugged along with the max towing capacity in its class. Honda tried to duplicate the Santa Fe but it's impossible with all of the technology that is standard on ours.

Good vehicle

A good vehicle with many bells and whistles to learn, use, and discover. Drives smooth. Storage is great throughout the vehicle. Safety features for driver assistance is a great benefit. The charging station is wonderful.

Best third row on the market!

The redesign of the Santa Fe is amazing! I had previously owned a 2020 and was excited to upgrade, People stop me to ask about my vehicle constantly. It’s comfortable and has all the high end features at an affordable price. I highly recommend!

Best experience I’ve ever had buying a vehicle

Best car I’ve ever owned and will probably keep for the next 10+ years. Especially because of the warranty lasting so long as well plus all the after features because I bought luxury. Great car and company

This is my favorite car I have ever owned

I compared the Santa Fe hybrid to the hybrid versions of the Toyota Hylander, the Honda Pilot, the Subaru Tribeca, and the Ford Explorer and every time I came back to the Santa Fe as the better car for comfort, ride, features, and value. Now that I own it, I’m loving my choice.

Santa Fe is great!

Overall great! Happy with the versatility and the features are numerous! Do not like lane assist or steering assist! Violent surge of adrenaline that sucks!! But it can be turned off and we are friends again

The 2025 Santa Fe Hybrid is an excellent vehicle choice

I appreciate how the vehicle shifts between engine and electric with no noticeable sounds or hesitation. I have yet to achieve the EPA listed mileage but it is very close and hasn’t had its first oil change yet. I wanted to have a vehicle the seated a minimum of six passengers which this does. My only concern is the lack of cargo space when all six passengers are seated. I also think a spare tire should have been offered with the Hybrid option, even if it was an upgrade option. No vehicle is perfect, but this one is really a great choice for our family.

Roomy, comfortable, not as efficient as hoped

The Santa Fe Hybrid Limited HTRAC is a very nice SUV. We drove it to MT right after buying and looped around through WA then back down to CA and averaged 29 mpg at an average speed of 70-75. It wasnt bad in the snow at Leavenworth, WA but not terrific this was probably due to the all season tires, winter tires would have helped considerably It was comfortable for the long ride, handled well and the limited edition provided nice to have options. All in all for the price of 50K we are reasonably happy. This is our second Hyundai as I drive the Elantra Hybrid as my commuter car. The lack of a spare and a missing tire inflator caused us issues with a flat in Salt Lake City.

It’s one of the best cars I have ever owned

This vehicle is awesome very high tech but easy to learn almost does it on its own the vehicle status, mileage, condition is right at your fingertips and the ride is like a floating boat! The interior is off the chart gorgeous

The Money Spent For Size Of Car Is Grear

The engine is underpowered and feels sluggish, especially during acceleration. Constant jolting and rough shifting make every ride uncomfortable. The transmission feels clunky and unpredictable. The turbo lag is unbearable — delayed response when you need power most. Cabin noise is ridiculous at highway speeds — zero sound insulation. Build quality feels cheap for the price point. Infotainment glitches regularly and the touchscreen lags. Ride comfort is stiff — you feel every bump and pothole. Steering feels numb and disconnected from the road. Annoying electronic driver assists beep constantly and overcorrect. Gas mileage is nowhere near what’s advertised. HVAC system is weak — takes forever to cool or heat the cabin. Visibility is poor — awkward blind spots make lane changes a gamble. Interior materials look nice at first, but scratch and wear quickly. Dealer service has been unhelpful and dismissive about recurring issues. Recalls and software updates already? It’s barely even broken in. Suspension feels like it was tuned by someone who hates people. It's overpriced for what little value you actually get. It's already been in the shop more than my last car in 5 years. Feels more like a beta version than a finished product.

Both dealer and manufacturer refuse responsibility for paint flaw

We noticed bubbles in the paint job a few days after receiving delivery late on a dark winter’s day. Sales rep says refused to talk about it later, implying it was our fault not to see it before we took delivery. The dealer’s setvice manager later viewed the problem and said he’d get back to us. He never did. Nobody associated with Hyundai will take responsibility for the flaw.

So far I am satisfied with this vehicle

The Santa Fe is comfortable to drive and a smooth ride. The hybrid gas mileage is not quite as good as Hyundai claims. There is plenty of room in the vehicle and the 7 passenger setting is a really big plus. The quality of the interior is excellent. The panoramic display is really pleasing and is not in your face like other vehicles. All and all I really like this car.

Discovered rear seat heater was faulty, 63 days after purchase.

88 days since faulty rear seat heater was discovered. 5 service calls and parts either wrong or have failed. Vehicle has been in the service department for 17 days (as of 4/19/2025). Poor communication from service department as to status of repair to the Santa Fe.

Great features

We had to have a hybrid and it had to be an SUV for personal reasons. The Hyundai Santa Fe fit the bill perfectly. The 2025 is very stylish, almost futuristic. It has many safety features. MPG is ok. Simply put, it's a fun car to drive and own.

Should be car of the Year!

I previously owned a 2016 Honda Pilot Elite which I enjoyed very much, but my Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy exceeds the Pilot except in interior room and 3rd row seating comfort. The Santa Fe's systems are intuitive, especially the Apple Play maps and navigation. Remote folding mirrors, hold position, and other features, especially the superior engine / drive train warranty, makes the 2025 Santa Fe Calligraphy this year's best vehicle.
