Great value purchase.

It doesn’t come with a lot of features but rides nicely on the highway, has good gas mileage and looks as good as any other SUV on the road. Has plenty of cargo storage behind the second row.

The best vehicle I have ever owned

I wanted an affordable vehicle with all the bells and whistles and I got it. The panoramic sunroof was my favorite feature. I haven't seen any other vehicles with that.

I never thought I would own a Hyundai.

I was looking for a certified SUV. I considered the BMW X3, Mercedes GLC300 and Audi Q3 and 5. What I was seeing certified out there were 3 year old vehicles with mileage in the mid 30's. Anything lower than that and you were paying a premium. I was on the local BMW dealers lot and spied the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport in Twilight Black and dark wheels. It looked better than the BMW it was next to. Salesman told me it was traded in for a BMW. No dents, dings, scratches, and the bumper was totally clean. I was shocked on how nice the interior was. Infinity Sound System was awesome, better than the Burmeister in a Mercedes. Air cooled seats, huge Sun/Moon Roof. When I drove it, well, it was very quiet. In fact, better than the BMW X3. Gas mileage hasn't been the greatest but tires have been under inflated. Just brought them up to 35 psi 2 days ago. Rear seats recline, sunshade on back side windows, Tailgate opens with you just standing there, and it only had 16,000 miles on it. Not certified, but still had a humoungous warranty left plus 2 plus years left on the Blue Link service. The warranty left on it surpassed anything BMW, Mercedes or Audi offered. Door handles light up at night when you get close to vehicle. I'm impressed. I saved a bunch of money and I feel like I'm driving luxury. Interior is spectacular, and I love the volume knob on the radio. Plus, the turbo uses regular gas. It handles great. Size is perfect.

I love my Hyundai!

I am so glad I choose to buy a Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. It’s the perfect size inside and out. I love the comfortable seats, authentic dash, interior style and much much more. If your looking for a mid sized suv this may be the car for you.

I have owned 4 of these SUVs

Great SUV for the price!, very good mileage. Excellent warranty. Good value in the mid-sze SUV market. i think they are an excellent choice for a primary family vehicle.

Love all of it's features.

We tested and looked at Honda and Mazda SUV's and we were pretty sure we'd purchase a Mazda since we already have an older Miata. After reading all reviews and watching videos, we finally decided on Hyundai AWD. It wasn't on my radar until driving, auto reviews and consumer reviews, I'm so glad we chose this car. I love driving it and the safety features and electronics are a real plus. Buy this vehicle in AWD.
