Meets all my needs

Plenty of room for all my things and my dog who is a St Bernard. Plenty of storage space and excellent ride so far I only put 150 miles on it to early to tell.

A caring car

This car offers security to drive in 3 different modes, be fuel efficient, spacious, looks great, and made me feel good about downsizing from an expedition to a smaller suv.

One of the best cars I've own

I chose this model for the space and ease of getting in and out, not just for me but for my 90+ year old mother.

I love this car!!

This car meets and exceeds all my expectations. I would definitely buy it again! It has all the features that I wanted. It has so many safety features that it was cheaper to ensure my 19 year old on this a 2020 Santa Fe versus a 2015 car.

A Fatal Flaw

I was convinced this was the car we wanted. Then we test drove a Limited 2.0 Turbo with AWD. Everything was great until we stepped on the accelerator at a traffic light on a busy street. There is a full three second delay, even if you floor the accelerator, before the car moves with anything more than a sluggish roll. My wife and I both tried it over and over because we couldn’t believe how unresponsive it was. IMHO, it is actually unsafe. The salesman, who owns one, confirmed it and didn’t even try to persuade us to buy the car. He said he knew it was a problem.

a great value

I bought the car only one week ago. I have not driven it much. So far, I like it more and more. I did plenty of online research and test drove other cars in the SUV mid size class.

Good value for the dollar

I wish the Santa Fe was still offering a 7-seater option, but I do love the car so far. It drives nicely and has nice bells and whistles. It feels more like a car.

An excellent purchase!

This is my second Hyundai. I loved my Tuscon, but now moved up to the Santa Fe and love it just as much. It is very roomy and has all the right features. And not a single other car maker knows how to locate a cup holder like Hyundai. I will always drive one!

Happy but....

Overall I am enjoying the 2020 Santa Fe, a lot of great safety features (too many to name), love the storage bins behind the second row for groceries, the exterior is stylish, interior looks luxurious and high end. On the downfall my biggest complaint would be that you can only remotely start the vehicle with the Bluelink app. I was not aware of this when purchasing the vehicle. This is fine and dandy unless you are in a remote area and don't have reception or your phone is dead. Living in Wisconsin this does happen frequently. Also, if my husband or a family member uses the vehicle and I am not with them they cannot remote start the vehicle unless they download the app. I would also suggest to the Hyundai engineers to do away with the cup holders in the drivers & passenger doors because only a plastic water bottle fits in it. Most people are more environmentally savy and have reusable water bottles that are larger. Currently there are only 2 cup holders in the middle counsel, I think they should add 2 more there and maybe have an area under the counsel to throw your purse (like in the Palisade). Overall I would recommend this vehicle to others.

Hyundai Santa Fe Limited T2.0 2020

The vehicle is stylish, roomy, has a comfortable and well designed interior. There are many luxury features which make for a pleasant driving experience. The ride is comfortable, it responds well and the turbo engine provides extra power and pick up in any situation. Hyundai has provided many safety features to this vehicle which, in my case was a big factor in choosing this vehicle. This is my second Santa Fe. Hyundai makes a excellent product.
