Great car

I am a big man. This car fits me very well. Good head room, easy entry, lots of leg room for taller drivers. Back seat is comfortable for my friends and family. Lots of space behind the back seat for luggage and gear. Great car. This is a lease, but I may buy when lease is up.

The Best All-Around SUV I have owned

Fabulous vehicle. Classy, elegant and quick. Great technology and amazing safety features. A quiet comfy ride, but still SPORTY. Moreover, I had the good fortune in dealing with Chet Nichols at Hyundai of Palatine. Hands-down the best auto salesman: Friendly, patient, informative, funny and honest. He is a Rock Star, too.

This was a BIG upgrade

I love my new Santa Fe. I have the 2020 Santa Fe SE and it’s huge but so easy to drive. I love the lane assist and emergency braking. The smart cruise control is amazing as well because it keeps you a desired length away from the car in front of you. The safety features top the charts for me! And the storage is amazing. The back has tons of little cubbies and the there’s storage under the back seat. I love everything about it. My only complaint is that mine doesn’t have Sirius XM and you have to plug your phone in for Apple Car Play. I do wish that was wireless but that’s a first world problem. There’s charging ports in the back so your back passengers can charge their devices and not hog the plugs up front. It’s very roomy and comfortable. I just love it!

Good buy

Very quiet on the highway. A lot of great safety features. Decent fuel economy. Really nice interior. Absorbs bumps with ease. Really like the adaptive cruise control.

Exceptional Design and Features Galore.

This car has the longest warranty, the most options and one of the best designs on the market for far far less than others. We are super pleased with the car and looking forward to many years of ownership.

Comfortable with all the options I wanted

I enjoy driving my car. I have owned it for over a year and have no complaints. Roomy and love how the seats fold down. Also like the heads up display as I tend to forget to look at the odometer
