2023 Hyundai SANTA FE HEV consumer reviews

The Good? Getting great gas mileage if you can stand to resist the fast lanes! The Bad? Push Button CVT transmission The Ugly? While engaging from Park to D or R, the vehicle tends to drift before engaging or requires multiple attempts to work! Dealer says they know about the problem but cannot do anything about it until a recall notice from Hyundai’

Bought this Santa Fe in June 2023. Less than four weeks later, the vehicle stalls in a rainstorm. Had to have it towed back to the dealer. It took almost 5 weeks to get it back. I can’t understand with all this modern technology, why the computer can’t tell them what was wrong with my vehicle. They kept on throwing different stuff at it and nothing seem to work. I am no car mechanic, but a couple of the things they try to be getting could not have obviously been the problem. I would think the mechanics would be smarter than that, and I told him what they suggested would not fix the problem , but they wouldn’t listen. Finally got it back and I’m not even sure what it took to fix it because it gave me a whole fistful of papers and stuff. They tried that about two months later check engine light comes on, had to bring it back in after I waited for that part to come , then about three months later when I was passing a vehicle, the car started shaking violently and was most of its power. I was 20 miles from my destination, I made it but going up hills it almost would not make it up the hill. And the shaking continue off and on for the 20 miles not shaking like a outer balance tire would but a violent shake. Car set for five hours, then when I went to drive home, it seemed OK. Took it to the dealer to see if they can figure out what was wrong with it, and they’re built a computer would not show any problem at all. It also did it again about a month later, still cannot figure out what was wrong with it. What a piece of junk.

Very happy with this SUV - have 10,000 miles on it. Excellent radio, electronics, seating, and comfort. Hybrid is excellent but mileage at 32-35 mpg is a little off

I bought this car in May, and I could not be more pleased. It is saving me money and time when it comes to gas, as I am down to filling only once a week, and it gets 30 -34 MPG, depending on where I have to drive. I love the safety features, such as maintaining a safe distance from the car in front of me, the self-steering, and the brake hold, which gives my foot a rest at stop lights. The seats are very comfortable. I keep her clean and shiny all the time, because this car is going to last a long time, with its unmatched 100k warranty! The maintenance included feature means I won't be forking out money to keep her in tip-top condition. .This is my third Santa Fe, and they just keep getting better and better!

I bought a Red one in Feb. I cannot be more delighted in this car. It is awesome, the luxury and safety of a Porsche or BMW at the price of a Hyundai. High reliability according to JD Power. This car never ceases to amaze us! Features galore! Buy one!! Join the thrill of owning a Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid!!

We bought this little gem last week, and we are still discovering the things it can do. It can back itself out of a tight parking space without anyone inside. In cruise control, it will keep itself between the lines - it basically can steer itself. It can maintain a fixed distance between you and the car in front of you. The seats not only heat in the winter, but they also cool in the summer. The stereo is unbelievable. Right now we are averaging 34 mpg - just around town. It does all this in a very stylish and beautiful body. It wasn't cheap, but so far it is worth every penny.

I’m satisfied with my beautiful new car. I get pretty good gas mileage, much better than my non-hev car, 27 mpg. The drive, comfort, interior, styling, handling, safety, cabin and cargo room, sound system, driver assist features are all A+. I can’t judge reliability because I just bought it.

I’ve been waiting for almost a decade for the Hyundai Santa Fe to come on a hybrid. I was worth the wait. This SUV is so thoughtfully designed and luxurious in its appointments that it makes me just a little sad every time I have to get out of it. It drives like the best luxury sports car but can haul a college students roomful of belongings, get plants from the nursery to your yard or take a trip yo the mountains. I find myself dreaming of road trips I can take. With the economy from the hybrid engine, I’ll save enough money to hit some nice restaurants on the journey. Best car I’ve ever owned.
