2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Review: Curbed with Craig Cole 

Craig Cole.......the mighty master of awesome alliteration.

I've reviewed a couple hundred cars now and I actually just bought one of these... Consumer Reports gave it great ratings as well... In the end, awesome review Craig! 👍

Some day Craig will realize he can make more money if he made his own youtube channel doing reviews.

Yes Craig is back!!!!

finally, you're back

Craig - thanks for honest opinion, informative & entertaining review. Subscribed because of you, thanks.

In the top 5 best looking crossovers

Erkel, you’re back? This guy is great though!

excellent, entertaining review.

I love mine. I bought it in October and I'm already over 16000 miles. No problems so far. I disagree with the disinterested driving feel. I usually drive about 85mph wherever I go for work. My only gripe is the gas mileage. I have never gotten over 19 mpg even when driving moderately. It's my work car mostly. Bu t I don't carry a lot of weight usually.

Nice review. I've scoured the IIHS website. I don't think there is any vehicle that can match the Santa Fe's overall safety rating. It gets the highest score in everything except child seat anchors, where it gets the second highest score. I haven't seen any vehicle get the highest score in child seat anchors. Additionally, the Santa Fe scores at, or near, the top of the JD Powers and Consumer Reports various ratings. While the fully loaded model is expensive, it isn't expensive when you compare it to a fully loaded Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot. The second row captain's chairs vault the Santa Fe (imho) over it's little sister the Kia Sorento. 5000lbs towing capacity, all the electronic safety features, near luxury car ride, quiet cabin, mega-spectacular-super-huge panoramic moonroof, heated/cooled seats etc. etc. etc. For the money I haven't found anything better, and I have been looking. The only place the Santa Fe falls short is on gas mileage, but all of these 3 row SUVs get craptastic gas mileage. Going by average use per year, you will spend about $110 more in gas over the "more fuel efficient Mazda CX9 over the course of a year. That is basically nothing. Compare the Santa Fe to the HYBRID Highlander over the course of a year... $240 difference according to Consumer Reports. I've test driven most of the 2 and 3 row crossovers. The Santa Fe is smoother than most, and it still drives like a car, not a truck. Want ventilated seats in your Audi Q7? Get ready to pay nearly double on what you would pay for the Santa Fe. Go by the numbers and this SUV has one weakness... low mpg. Drive it and you won't be disappointed. I'll most likely buy one soon. Almost forgot, it has the best warranty of any vehicle on the road.

I call it, Honda and Toyota better start watching out! We almost bought one of these till we decided the minivan was the best way for our growing family to go and picked up a loaded Toyota Sienna.

you go craig! u rock!

1:29 Why is the left folded seat so crooked? Does it just randomly not fold flat? BTW, lousy mileage and absolutely nutty price.

I took myself hyundai santa fe. 3.3 ultimate 2017 the only thing that does not happen is it's a very rigid suspension

Priced out an Explorer Platinum lately? Also isn't this being replaced next year?

You gain one MPG with 18” rims

ok

There 20 inch wheels

why is it called curbed ? The other reviewers on this channel don't have a "sub channel" ?

i'd buy that... for a dollar!

I kind of just wanna punch him in the face. Even still, it's not a bad review. So much cheese though.... Yeah... in the face.

Leather looks worn out lol

I rented one of these me and family begged for something different. The interior is nice "looking" but take a touch and it's Clear that Fisher price plastic built this, it's cheap to the touch and thin plasticy feeling ( look at doors ) fake plastic " wood trip " ain't fooling nobody so I'd worry about long term durability. Engine may still run but everything else is gonna fall apart like old GM products.

I hate crossovers and I hate Hyundai
