2019 Hyundai SANTA FE consumer reviews

I previously drove a 2013 Audi Q5 that was involved in a non-fault accident that was a total loss. I replaced it with a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate AWD with the 2.0 Turbo engine. The safety features in this model are extensive and do help with the ability to drive this vehicle safely. There are many things that I love about this vehicle. First it is stylish, fuel efficient and loaded with fun and useful equipment throughout. There are things that I don't like about this car but none that became a deal breaker. First...it is underpowered off the line. Not that I am into drag racing but the 0-30 from a stop is not good but if you put the car in sport mode it is better but just not great. The Audi was! The other items that I do not like are there are a lot of sounds that this car makes related to safety but they do not come with an indicator in all cases which makes it guesswork as to why you are being warned. Finally, the fact that you CAN'T turn off the automatic ignition kill fuel efficiency system while stopped for even the shortest time period (the Q5 had the system but you could permanently deactivate it which was ideal) is aggravating and can become a deal breaker for future purchase as we have this car on a three (3) year lease so I am not locked into it forever. The temporary deactivation switch is now activated by me as part of my "start up" routine. All in all this is a good AWD vehicle!

I just picked up my 2019 Santa Fe yesterday (Dec. 31, 2018) and said good-bye reluctantly to my 2011 which I loved. I like the size of the Santa Fe and the cargo space. It's the only car that has what I call the "secret compartment" under the back cargo area. The new one is beautiful and has so many safety items that my other one didn't have. It has many convenience items also. I've owned other SUVs in the past, but my Santa Fe was the best one overall.

We own a 2011 Sante Fe with 152,000. Great vehicle, so wanted another one. My requirements: leather, electric, heated seats and fog lights. I'm not someone who needs all the bells and whistles, and I didn't want a sun roof. There in lies the problem. I couldn't get the seats unless I went up to the limited. . .and it comes standard with a sun roof. The cloth seats are terribly hard, so I was ready to give up, but I asked the question. . .Can you put leather seats in a base model? The answer. . .yes. If you ask, the dealership can send it out to an independent company. Just make sure you get a full warranty from the installing company as the leather won't be covered under your bumper to bumper warranty. We ultimately went with the SEL as it already had fog lights and electric seats. I really like the car.

This car has all the safety features a person could want as well as the most current technology. It is stylish and economical at the same time.

I find myself relaxing when driving my new Santa was. It has plenty of power with the two liter turbo and all the features and then some I like. Traded an Alfa Romeo Giulia for it. Loved the Giulia but got tired of rubbing bottom. Like the Stelvio but feel this is more vehicle value.

Comfortable, quiet, with all the bells & whistles. Switched from Honda to Hyundai. Saved thousands without sacrificing anything. A well-built SUV that suits my needs perfectly.

Car I drove had tinted rear windows and back window. On the test drive, on a rainy day, I almost hit another car, just didn't see him. Visibility would really stink at night-time. Overall impression? An average car, nothing special. When the dealer tried to work me, I walked out. I'll find something.

Owned for a month. It's a great vehicle so far. Can't wait to have lots of adventures in this vehicle! Love the exterior and interior of the car. I also like how easy it is to drive.

Great looking, very comfortable, got all the bells and whistles, just seems to lack in power with the 4 cylinders. A nice V6 would put it over the top.

I have been pleasantly surprised with how much I am enjoying my new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe. It is roomy, has great lighting, beautiful body style, comfortable interior, quiet on the freeway, excellent sound system, ventilation system, great storage. I have no complaints.
