Lots of room. Good on Gas

The trunk gets stuck it closed on my fingers. The gas mileage is great and it’s never ran out on gas on me before and the GPS system could use a little work but all in all a good car if you have 2 kiddos.

Try Tameron Hyundai in Hoover, AL

Citron at Tameron Hyundai is absolutely AMAZING &I love this car! I have nothing but great things to say about my experience at Tameron Hyundai. The dealership in and of itself was very attentive & welcoming, and Citron specifically was one of the best sales representatives that I have ever dealt with, & I have purchased several cars in the past. Whenever I need another car this will be the first place that I look & I'm also sending any friends or family! Go ahead & check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Performance and recalls

My research showed, prior to purchasing this veh that it was #1 in it’s class. I’ve had it for 2 years and it doesn’t drive smoothly. I can hear noise from the road because there’s nothing underneath the hood between the motor and the road to drown it out. Also sometimes when I put it in reverse, there is a hesitation or jerks. I bought it used, however the mileage is still very low. There is a recall on the 2021 model, but only one on this model which is the windshield.

Perfect SUV for small families.

Bought new in Jan, 2020. Great, large SUV. Quiet, comfortable, economical, reliable. With the 2.4 this SUV can cruise all day at 80-90MPH. Loaded with safety and comfort features. If it came with a 3rd row seat and AWD, we would still have this fine automobile. Alas, ours didn’t. My bad. Performed flawlessly in the 2 years we owned it. Very highly recommended.

A new convert

I have always owned (and still do) Hondas and Subarus. When I looked at purchasing a midsized crossover, I tried both the Subaru Ascent and Honda CRV. both were just okay. When I hesitantly tried the Hyundai Santa Fe I was impressed beyond belief. I rolled the dice on Hyundai and have been so pleased with this vehicle.

Had to buy this vehicle

A lot more car than competitive cars. The styling and interior are better than luxury brands. My SEL with premium and convenience packages is MUCH more impressive than the luxury brands. The warranty is the best available in the industry.

Love the Santa Fe

We needed a new car to travel in as our old one was beating me to death on the road. The Santa Fe has every bell and whistle that I need and some I didn't know I needed but love. My only complaint is it only has 2 cup holders in the front. I know, first world problem. I never could have a car with a sun roof as the head room was too low for my husband but I finally got my sun roof with this one!!!!
