Couple returns to purchase second new car.

This car is loaded with the most safety options! We are in our sixties and felt it was time to move up to the technology. We love it!

Loving my Santa Fe

Santa Fe covers all my wants and needs. It is a smooth and comfortable ride with plenty of room for shopping, luggage, etc. Great technology on board.

So-So

Looking at the XL for future people and maybe camper hauler. I loved all the specs I read online, a couple videos and the price. I went in to test drive one at a local dealer. I tested a mid level model. It was all mediocrity. Great space, cloth seats were modestly comfy and interior controls okay. What really killed it was the test drive in Denver. Around town the 290hp engine was fine. On the interstate it sucked. Maybe it was altitude plus vehicle weight but 290hp should be plenty of power. I have had heavier vehicles with less hp do better. In any case, I decided it was too mediocre all around and could not imagine it full of people and a small camper doing very well at our altitude. Nothing was especially attractive or exciting to me. Nothing was terrible either...well passing gear was terrible.

Great car

I owned a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport for six years and 96000 miles and loved it till I traded it in for a 2019 Santa Fe Ultimate. This car continues to build my confidence in the Hyundai brand. It drives like a dream. The convience features are amazing. I am totally satisfied with my new car. I recommend all to consider a Hyundai if you are in the market for a new car.

Replacing my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe XL

My 2017 car was totaled when someone hit me. I loved that car so went and test drove the new one to see if I wanted to replace it with the similar model, I also test drove other makes and models with 3 rows and came back to this car. BEST value for the price.

Smart purchase, looking forward to driving this

Just bought today but it is meeting and surpassing my expectations. Salesman thorough in explaining everything, especially the more technical stuff. Much to learn but boy this is going to be fun.
