2019 Hyundai SANTA FE consumer reviews

Allen Turner Hyundai did a magnificent deal with no problems. Very efficient. Salesperson Claudio Nati was suburb and was able to meet my needs completely.

Exceeded my expectations. All the features you could ever need (Ultimate 2.4), with good performance that provides enough pickup with decent gas mileage. Fantastic overall.

I like the technology and safety features of this vehicle such as the Smart Cruise control. It works great in stop and go traffic giving you a stress-free driving experience and comfort. Lane Keep Assist keeps you on the lane without worrying about the hitting the metal lane dividers.

This SUV is a great vehicle. The value you get for the price is outstanding. Other manufacturers like Honda, Subaru or Toyota cannot compare to Hyundai when it comes to MSRP, discounts and incentives. Great ride at a great price.

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL Primary use: My fiancés daily commuter Exterior Design: In my opinion the new 2019 Santa Fe is one of the best looking crossovers on the market, beat out only by the Mazda CX-5. I like how Hyundai made it look more rugged for 2019. This also helps with making the interior space more usable and improve visibility. The design is cohesive with materials from the front grill being carried throughout other areas of the exterior. Interior Materials/Design: The interior feels very upscale for the price your paying. The MSRP on our SEL trim was right under $31,000 ( that’s not what we paid of course). There are a variety of materials throughout the cabin which breaks ups what could otherwise become a “sea of black”. Nice soft touch materials where you touch the most. The design is very driver focused, facing all of the important controls towards the driver. Love the placement of the touchscreen display as well. The interior feels super modern and well executed. Interior Space/Comfort: This is close to the most comfortable vehicle I’ve driven or been a passenger, beaten out by only my grandfathers Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCrew. The driver and front passenger have abundant room in every aspect. The front seats are very well cushioned. The clothe seat material is very unique, it is very soft and comfortable though. Back seat leg room is abundant. The bottom cushion sits fairly high off the floor, this helps give plenty of thigh support. The rear seats also have a reclining feature, overall the rear seat passengers won’t be quite as comfortable as the front passengers, but the rear seat is one of the best in the business. There’s also a cavernous trunk with a nice low load height. There are also storage compartments under the trunk floor to keep items from sliding around everywhere while driving. The rear seats can also fold completely flat giving you a giant space if needed. Interior space is the Santa Fe’s middle name. Technology: This thing has it all, and most of it comes standard on even the lower end trims. Our SEL is just one step up from the base SE, but it still come loaded with all the tech your heart desires. The standard 7 in display is easy to use and intuitive. It comes standard with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, these allow you to mirror your phone onto the screen. The screen is also made out of a different material that doesn’t get washed out by the sun or show finger prints as easily. Also on the SEL you get a nice LCD display in the instrument cluster. This will display a variety of information that can be useful for the driver. Apart from the audio/visual technology, there is also an amazing array of safety technology standard on this car. Forward collision warning w/ automatic emergency breaking, blind spot warning, lane keep assist, rear cross traffic warning, adaptive cruise control, and I’m sure more that I’m missing. This gives me piece of mind knowing my fiancé is safe out on the road. Powertrain/Performance: Although the first thing you think of with a crossover/SUV is not 0-60 time and horsepower, they are still important to the driving experience of the car. Our SEL has the 2.4L inline-4. This makes 185 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque. Not amazing numbers on paper, but the 8 speed automatic transmission helps a lot. The car feels a lot punchier than you’d expect. Compared to the Subaru Forester with a CVT and a Chevy Equinox with the base engine, this thing feels quick. You won’t win any races, but you also don’t fear merging into a busy road or overtaking a semi on a two-lane road. In regular driving conditions the powertrain combo gives you smooth performance that easily keeps up with traffic without straining itself. Smooth and worry free are the best way to describe it. There’s also 2000 pounds of towing capacity which is a nice plus. Most four cylinders are only good for 1500 pounds. Great for all ages: Young couple (my fiancé and myself): Lots of tech to play with, small enjoy to maneuver in urban settings, plenty of room to transport friends and furry friends (dogs), good mpg, cheap to own, and cheap to insurance. Families: Extremely safe (IIHS Top Safety Pick+), lots of room for children and friends, big truck of anything you need, easy to get in and out of (great for small kids) Elderly: Easy to get in and out, safety features (elderly can’t see as well or have the range of motion of young people), good visibility

It's quick, looks fantastic, and is full of tech we love. Been a while since I owned a car that I absolutely loved. Couldn't be happier.

Este vehículo corresponde a todas las necesidades de seguridad que necesito a diario muy cómoda y elegante. Buena para viajes largos o para pasear con la familia.

You can't beat the value compared to other vehicles in this segment. I have owned Hyundai/Kia since 2007, with one Toyota ('13 Avalon) mixed in during this time frame. I have never had any major issues with my Hyundai/Kia vehicles. All minor issues (and I do stress minor, were covered under their factory warranties). I just came from a 2014 Kia Optima SX Turbo which had about 75K miles in 5 years and loved that car overall, but also provide this as a frame of reference. I have the 19 Santa Fe Limited 2.0 Turbo. I opted for the Turbo, because I prefer to have the ability to accelerate and get out of "tight" situations, especially when driving in heavily populated areas. While I didn't test drive the base model, the mix of HP 185 and low torque didn't inspire confidence for me, thus, going for the turbo (235 HP/262 LBS of Torque). Overall, this is a nice smooth ride, not too noisy with good comfort and ergonomics. I have found when using Sport Mode, I can pass slower vehicles and escape tight situations with little difficulty. While not quite as fast as what I had with my Optima SX (274 HP and lots of torque), this has done a good job to address those situations. I'm ultimately not trying to play "Speed Racer" but avoid the situations caused by unsafe drivers hogging the left lane in their Chevy Cruise and Toyota Corolla, and other similar situations. The most impressive thing about this ride so far, even though it has been rated 19/24 (City/Highway); I have been getting about 32 MPG on longer highway style trips and about 23 MPG for my "city" driving conditions. Not true stop and go, but changing speeds and lots of residential area driving. This is a huge plus for me. This ride also has plenty of cargo space and I like how you can flatten out the back seats and they also even recline. The interior is well-designed and overall a nice layout. The headliner is a bit of a weird almost "denim-looking" gray, that I feel does not mesh well with the overall design, but I can live with it. While it has some cheap plastics around the dash, they look nice and unless you are using a premium luxury car as your frame of reference; will be a non-issue. The stereo is amazing, and the safety tech works well. I'm not a big fan of the lane assist, as it seems very aggressive and almost made me feel like I was losing control of the vehicle. I also do not like the whole engine start/stop system (where it shuts off at stops). The hesitation when starting to move again is bad and makes me feel a bit uneasy, so I simply keep that feature off. My biggest complaint is with Android Auto. This version does not come with Navigation. That is not a big deal, as I have always felt like Hyundai/Kia Navigation sucked and always reverted to Waze or Google Maps when getting closer to cities, anyway. However, this version of Android Auto doesn't provide the functionality of adding and using all of the suggested apps and has been a bit touchy. It has completely shut down many times and at first I thought it was because of a bad USB cable; which has not been the case. I'm not sure where the glitch is, and I have re-installed Android Auto a few times to no avail for this issue. I would highly suggest just using google maps and attaching that to a device that lets you watch it and going through bluetooth if going somewhere you really need good directions. Overall, I am thrilled with this ride and would highly-recommend to anyone that is looking for tremendous value for the mid-sized SUV. For this price, it came with far more features and power than the RAV-4 or CRV. You can also never go wrong with their 10/100 Powertrain 5/60 Basic and 5 years, unlimited road-side assistance as well, which is the best in the industry. Hyundai/Kia have come such a long way, even in the last 10 years. Their products are every bit as good as Honda or Toyota with a superior warranty and price point. If you are on the fence, just test drive and you will get a better understanding. These are no longer the proverbial "crap boxes" that people have associated this brand with that did deserve that reputation 15-20 years ago.

This SUV is very comfortable and has met my expectations. It has a lot of leg room for the driver and passengers. It also has a lot of room for those items of luggage for the airport trips. I would strongly recommend it to anybody looking for a new SUV.

Best car I have ever owned! Terrific safety features and so much technology and automation. Radio even turns down when you start up and drive off just so you won't be distracted. Very comfortable . Just a joy to drive
