2022 Hyundai SANTA FE consumer reviews

I decided to try Hyundai after my beloved Traverse died at 91k miles right after my extended warranty had ended. Hyundai's built in 10 year warranty is a huge plus. I've had this car almost a year and overall I like it. It's very good looking, comfortable and roomy. All the controls are user friendly and well thought out. It's important to me to have easy access to my controls while driving. Gas mileage is amazing. I love the panoramic sunroof. Dealer customer service is excellent so far. There are a few things I don't like. My car is fully loaded and has almost too much technology but no memory drivers seat which is annoying every time my husband messes up my seat position. Also my door is supposed to unlock when I put my hand on the handle but it's temperamental and doesn't always work. When I am highway driving the smart cruise is great but it automatically turns on the drive assist and I hate it. I can turn it off but it comes back on every time I reset the cruise. The dealer said there's no disabling this feature. The biggest thing it's lacking is power. It should have a bigger engine or every trim level should come with the turbo option not just the limited. I wish I had gotten the turbo. Thankfully it has sport mode to get up hills and accelerate when needed. It has some minor quirks but all in all it's a nice car. My husband gets a lot of rentals for work trips and says my car is nicer than every brand of rental he has had including Toyota. You also get a lot more for your money but I'm glad I leased it so I can trade it for a Palisade. That seems to have everything the Santa Fe is lacking.

The XRT is my 3rd Santa Fe an has great look to it with blacked out grill,side steps an black wheels only have it 2 weeks an getting compliment's notice it seems quicker with the 2.5 engine .

Great buy for the money. Had my first one t-boned. Very safe car, we were left with minimal injuries. Would continue to buy the make and model.

It seems to have a lot of electronic issues. The backup alarm that worked when we first bought the car quit working and the dealer ship says it didn't come equiped. It worked up until I tried backing in a spot and the brakes kept locking up thinking something was behind me, I got out of my car and went behind to see that nothing was there. After that the back up alarm no longer works and the dealership says it wasn't equiped with it!! Next issue was the heat system quit working and all of a sudden 2 days later it starts working???
