Hyundai’s 2018 Santa Fe midsize crossover looks great and offers top-notch safety ratings, proven reliability, a comfortable interior with 3 rows of seating, strong warranty coverage, and a compelling price. It hasn’t been re-designed since 2013, but from a purely practical perspective, our reviewer gives it a perfect 10 for cost-effectiveness. He also wishes it were more fun to drive.
All Santa Fes get a 3.6-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed automatic, with three trim levels available with front-wheel-drive or a $1,750 upgrade to all-wheel-drive. That engine produces 290 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque; FWD base trims are rated at 18 mpg city, 25 highway, 21 combined, while the Limited Ultimate with AWD gets rated at 17, 22, 19. The BlueLink infotainment system works well, supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and lets parents set speed, curfew, and geographic boundaries for teen drivers. And for 2018, Santa Fe buyers will get 3 free years of trial BlueLink service, rather than one. Read more on CarGurus: cargur.us/lx6HB

From the day I took delivery of my 2017 Santa Fe the only thing I did not like was the ride. It was very rough riding. I asked several forms and could not get a definitive answer. I was told by several people that the tires were the problem. They said the Kumho tires that the car came with were crap and the cause of the rough ride. Well, at 14,254 miles I bit the bullet and put on a set of Michelin Premium LTX 235/55/R19 tires. The difference in the rides was amazing! It is like night and day. While not a 10, the ride has to be somewhere around an 8 or so. I could not be happier and not sorry at all that I spent the money and switched. I hope this helps other owners in their quest for a smoother ride.

I drive a Mercedes C250 and I am changing to Santa Fe due to family expansions. The Korean car is so nicely built with solid structure and all the safety features that you would need from a car. The Merc has been giving me so many problems since day one. I do not think i will go back to another European car again.... Hyundai and Kia have improved a lot and they are slowly taking over old good brands.....

I own 2017 Santa Fee black color ,this Beautiful SUV it is better than any midsize SUV on the market, I like the warranty, (100k miles,or 10 years)safety features and of course the 3 rows seats, also 5 stars crash test this SUV it the best car ever

@markc7274 6 лет назад

I have the 2017 model and your review is spot on.

@DriveAndBeDriven 6 лет назад

Great review! The Santa Fe seems like a pretty solid entry in its class. I can't wait for its redesign (hopefully coming for the 2019 or 2020 model year).

@ScytheNoire 6 лет назад

I'm looking forward to the redesign, which is coming out in 2019. It looks really nice, and the front end is very aggressive looking.

@Snowieandfrostie 6 лет назад

I was super impressed by diesel version of Santa fe. Fuel economy was really impressive. I am looking forward to 2.2L diesel 2019 Santa fe.

@robertrogala7340 6 лет назад

Great review. I own this exact vehicle and agree with everything. It is not a sport SUV, but does everything else very well for the money and features.

@stoneycarter7789 2 года назад

My 2018 Hyundai ultimate AWD has a 2.0 turbo and I paid out the door $35,000 with all the bells and whistles and its has plenty of power I had it up to 135 MPH and it was still climbing mine is quite different than the one you are driving even the front fog lights is in a different place and mine has leather, and I can feel a big differents in sport mode and its 2022 and I still have it

@sucreygalgo8071 6 лет назад

I want this to be my first car love the design.

@Robotfeverdreams 6 лет назад

I just bought a blue santa fe about a week ago. Never owned a Hyundai and didn't really know what I was looking for. I just knew I wanted to buy something new that could seat 7. I'm very impressed with it so far. The motor is strong for a v6 and it gets good gas mileage. My kids like it too. They prefer it over our suburban regardless if the suburban has more room.

Does it have 3rd row ac vents

@Iconoclasher 6 лет назад

I think some clarification on the brakes is in order. You mentioned brake fade and overheating. Were you deliberately over using the brakes it see what they can handle or was this moderate use? Or are they under rated for the weight of the vehicle? I do a lot of mountain driving and I downshift to maintain speed rather than using the brakes.

@b.f.378 6 лет назад

This is one of the best looking crossovers in its class.. Curious to see what the 2019 Santa Fe is gonna look like, since it's gonna adopt similar styling cues that the new Kona has (part of Hyundai's new crossover design language)

@tekz6435 6 лет назад

I disagree...CX9 looks better than this

@b.f.378 6 лет назад

Tek z I didn’t say it was the best looking crossover in its class, I said it’s one of the best looking ones.

@tekz6435 6 лет назад

Baasil F., it is not bad looking though I have to give it to Hyundai but it needs a redesign...they'll prob do that for 2019...

@b.f.378 6 лет назад

Tek z yea it's getting redesigned for 2019 and gonna take styling cues off of the new Kona (not sure if that's a good or bad thing) the Kona looks like the 2014-2018 Jeep Cherokee, so perhaps the 2019 Santa Fe is gonna look like a huge Cherokee too. There's spy shots circling around the internet

@DriveAndBeDriven 6 лет назад

Baasil F., I'm curious to find out the changes that Hyundai will implement on the upcoming fully redesigned Santa Fe (especially in the styling department).

@HuntaKiller91 6 лет назад

Even since its birth in 2013 it destroys most looks in its class,is it worth it to get for $15k used??

@tekz6435 6 лет назад

Have to admit that I agree with the reviewer's assessment of this Santa fe XL...I drove a 2017 model last summer for over 3000Kms (the 2017 I drove had the same exact trim and features as this 2018 so I can relate to the comments) and it is not a driver's CUV as it was mentioned by reviewer (not fun to drive). I have to give it to Hyundai though features-wise it ticked all the boxes with engine and trans smooth and powerful. The ride I found however to be firm, bumpy and choppy with a lot of body roll when cornering and the interior fit and finish was just cheap feeling with tons of cheap looking plastics and lots of rattles on the dash. ergonomically the shifter and center armrest/console too low and controls layout not very ideal. As an example the drive mode select button found on bottom lefthand side of dash instead of being near the shifter while the cruise control was a rocker switch instead of individual buttons or a flat switch. These are minor nuances though...for most part I totally agreed with the reviewer's comments.

@dcjohnson2490 6 лет назад

It most certainly is a bargain, and a good-looking one at that. With the way they depreciate year after year, You can get a STEAL on a used one. The only caveat is that you can't expect much when you try to sell it later on down the road. I would definitely get a used 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe SE AWD in Java Espresso in a heartbeat.

@b.f.378 6 лет назад

The Santa Fe is being redesigned for 2019 and the Pilot is more than likely getting refreshed for 2019, so maybe you wanna wait

@leroijr407 6 лет назад

also was contemplating the pilot. hands down went with this santa fe. I liked the bigger look of the pilot, but bland and boring on the interior..really bland. and worse if you get cloth, at least thee santa fe has premium cloth that is AMAZING! And also look way sharper driving down the road. going with Fe soon here.

@davielove11 6 лет назад

If you intend to keep the vehicle after 5 years or paying it off....go with the Santa fe. If you intend to buy a new vehicle after pay off....go with the Pilot. The Santa fe's resell value won't even come close to the Pilot's resell value.

@silentrefusal9911 6 лет назад

eFasser if you haven't bought one already, please do consider the all new Subaru Ascent too

Hyundai is the third largest auto maker in the world now. South Korea is the king of technology these days, and they've really added it to their cars. Compared to the crap some of the American auto makers are putting out (GM & Chrysler), Hyundai is way ahead. Toyota and Honda are probably still tops, but Hyundai has made huge gains, and matches or outdoes them on technology.

@joskjj3625 6 лет назад

venictos have you ever driven or even sat in a Hyundai because if you ever driven or sat in a Hyundai you'll actually like Badge snobs like you really need to shut up, I mean this isn't the 80s anymore and it is far more reliable than junk Honda, so you like the cat but the Hyundai badge offends you, dang you are such a spoiled brat Oh no are you crying because your scared of a Hyundai badge Uh oh mommy will just put junky Honda badge so your tantrum will stop
