I loved this car!

This car was a beauty inside and out. Smooth ride. Quiet engine. I loved the sound system, and the lighting was so clear I wondered how I ever drove at night before.

Love this car

I previously owned a 2010 and upgraded to a 2017 and I love it. This car is so comfortable and smooth to drive. Hyundai's are the only cars I have ever owned.

It is beautiful inside & out!

This car is awesome. Very comfortable & runs great. It is loaded with everything except the sun roof which is not needed in Arizona. It runs great & is a very safe car & great on gas mileage. The leg room is great, and its very sleek & fun to drive & the privacy glass is awesome. It has a lot if room in the back too. It handles very well.

Sporty and roomy car with lots of fun extras!

I love this car. It’s got lots of fun extras like a full sun roof, heated front and back seats, great sound system, handles well on back roads and provides nice roomy passenger, driver and cargo space. It has a hitch too for towing our pop up camper!

Santa Fe Sport lives up to reputation.

Maintenance costs are cheaper than Honda CR-V. Shocks are stiff, but ride is excellent on most surfaces. Design is excellent inside and out. Cloth seat material is good choice. Easy to clean and hard to damage with routine sliding car seats or luggage in and out.

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

This car met all of my needs! It was one of several test drives, but it was great on gas and equipment. It did not have a sunroof, but at least I do not have to worry with leaks! I absolutely love this car and think I will always be in the Hyundai/Kia family!

A good car for the money

This car has lots of nice features, good gas mileage, good safety rating, and is nice to drive. Even has a sport mode when I need extra power. The seats are comfortable and we can fit five people with no problem. The back hatch area is surprisingly spacious and can accommodate all of our luggage. The exterior looks nice. Headlights are very nice as well as the other external features. It's a good car and I would buy another one.

Second Hyundai we own

This car 🚗 has met my expectations. A good sound 🔊 system, plenty of leg and head room. Sad ☹ that they have quit making this style.

Awesome car

I was looking for a mid-sized SUV and started my search with the KIA Sorento. Cars.com made it easy to compare models. The features and price of the Santa Fe Sport met all of my expectations. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was my car!
