Excellent value
My last three vehicles have been Hyundai (Tucson 2009, Sonata 2013, Tucson 2022). The value for comfort/styling/features/safety/warranty/reliability is excellent. My second Hyundai was a new Sonata (2013) because I felt it was more comfortable, less expensive and safer (smaller blind spots) than the 2009 Tucson. However, the 2022 Tucson fixed the blind spot issues (reverse camera, side impact detectors) but like the 2009 Tucson, was a little easier for me to get in and out of. I'm 6'2" and literally had to fall into and climb out of the Sonata. I think the Santa Fe would be even easier to get in/out of, but I couldn't see paying $4k+ extra. The one issue that is a little annoying is engine hesitance/surge from a standstill. Both 2009 and 2022 Tucson have that problem, though it is not as bad with the 2022.
