How’s It Off-Road? // 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT Review 

Ditto. 👍

Well said.

"Is" should be replaced by "are" grammatically shpeaking 😅

@@TyK622 The 'is' is for the word 'quality', not for the word 'videos'.

@@TyK622 Nope, you are wrong either way, it's "is"

Absolutely 💯

Number of subscribers doesn’t mean anything, rich people and huge companies buy subscribers to inflate their egos. If you look at the consistency of views a channel has between videos and the quality of comments viewers leave, you can see if a channel is actually successful or not usually.

@@SarahnTuned Popularity doesn't always equate with quality.

If you upgraded the read diff on this thing, it would be a night and day game changer.

.. and aluminium and giving it the beans.

I got “give it the beans” from my Grandma way before the modern Top Gear series existed.

I always wonder what beans are being given..baked beans??

Are you sure about that? 🤔😉

No, no timed runs. Because then it will push for faster and faster driving. I usually run these at about 7/10's as to leave for a large margin of safety since the vehicle isn't mine.

It needs an upgraded rear differential for any serious off-road, it looks like Hyundai makes one offered in some of their HD vehicles overseas that might work. I also would like to see an aftermarket tune on the transmission control unit to improve response, it's likely tuned for comfort more than performance.

Ah! Yeah I don’t drive in traffic often or really have anywhere that I use cruise control in my daily commute. I didn’t notice that

The in-cabin camera facilitates the “Forward Attention Warning” feature. Forward Attention Warning can be turned off in the Settings menu. Regarding the lane monitoring functions…a short press of the Lane Driving Assist button on the steering wheel will enable/disable the Lane Following Assist feature (which attempts to maintain the vehicle in the center of the lane). A press and hold on the same button will enable/disable the Lane Keep Assist feature (which will attempt to prevent the vehicle from leaving the lane). You can also disable the Lane Safety features in the Settings in the menu.

But they carry a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty. Who else does that?

You see a lot of the first generation Tucsons still on the road. I think they had a naturally aspirated V6.

@larryeldridge-dh2jt Lexus does have a 10 year 100,000k mile warranty.

@@SarahnTuned I see a few of them here in CO still chugging.

@@SarahnTuned I have a 1st gen 2006 Tucson. It's the 4 cylinder 2.0. It just drives and drives without any problems 🙂

Same AWD system as this, the Santa Cruz failed the hill climb as well;. were as the Maverick is one of the best off-road unibody vehicles I've ever tested.

@@SarahnTuned True, but with better tires and other improvements for off-roading, the 2025 XRT may now be more competitive with the Maverick.

Lol

They market it as an off-road vehicle, so it’ll get treated as such. Lol

Hyundai design departament is back in Korean hands. The German team, original Audi guys, are gone now.

Yeah, that skirt is dangerous 😅

It was a stand out lap, even Angel said “you’re back already?” After the lap.

@@SarahnTuned That's what happens when you remove all the branches from the track and have only single piston calipers in seven seat SUV... xD I wonder how much improved experience it would be if it had better brakes and also used them for "intelligent" brake boosting going up that hill...
