Hyundai Santa Fe Sport FULL REVIEW test driven 7-seater - Autogefuehl 

👍

thanks keep supporting us!

thanks, spread the word for us!

thanks! Tune in for more reviews

great to have your support on this

Agree. That might be and sure is a reason. I have a Renault which won't let a person open the left rear door form inside if the driver's door isn't open. Another reason might be the weight of that single seat to move. Maybe the 2/3 part could be harder to move for let's say a child. Also, I share your opinion regarding the 3rd row seats. They are kinda useless. If the child is so small he needs a child seat he will surely take place next to her mother in the 2nd row. If he doesn't, then the usage of those seats on the long term is limited to a few years. Anyway, you did a very good job, as usual. Greetings from Romania!

Thanks! Someone now said that you could also install child seats without isofix, that's basically correct, but what's your take on this?

Well...isofix or not, I don't think a child seat in the 3rd row - and with not so easy access - is practical. I highly doubt a family with more than 5 members would choose an SUV of this size instead of a MPV and would they let their youngest child on the 3rd seat. Maybe in a trip with 4 adults and 2-3 kids there could be a possibility but then again where do you put your luggage? Maybe someone did this and would be happy to share their experience.

Make sense since most 7 seater are bought because of children

+Sindarul well my friend has 4 children. Age 10, 9 2 and 2 months. He's looking at a u seater where the 2 older children can sit at the back. His wife and 2 babies will be in the middle. Front passenger seat will be empty. I assume the santa fe could do that, however I'm r mins into the video so haven't seen the seats yet.

hey m8, we always show the static interior shots first so u get a good overview

Yes, but since you drive the car, it would be good to see it in interior in that mode also, and we can hear your voice when you talk about car, we don't necessary need to see you also. I am not saying that you are ugly or something like that, it is just how at least myself wish to see the test driving.

Just scheduled the driving event. End of March, m8. Already check out our motor show review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-32anOnMRMbQ.html

Autogefühl great

Kia and Hyundai indeed are leading in giving long warranties

+Autogefühl Toyota seem to offer 5 years which is great too

interesting, thanks so much !

cheers!

thanks! Was stormy-windy :)

not scheduled yet but i ll try to get it for this year

Good question, lets see what we can do

+10tenman10 yeah. Too loud

very good thoughts, thanks for that insight!

cheetahsong Two major differrences in Europe. First you can only get a diesel, so mpg is better, second, here ir costs over 50k euros, which is Bmw 3 or Audi a4 price... Becouse of the price you dont see much of them on the road... and with the new Škoda Kodiak, which is cheaper this car just isnt competitive on our market

I've had mines for a month w under 49,000 miles and I feel the same as you. Thought the gas mileage would improve. Might as well had a v6 .

yes as I said in the video - all details in it! Check the Tiguan LWB video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETHQJ1bm6rc.html

old british wanted to leave, young british wanted to stay. 16 and 17 year old couldnt vote.

Autogefühl I'm young Scottish and the hole of Scotland nearly didn't want to leave is annoyed me so much

Hamish Dunham tell me about it

sure 3008 is already scheduled, just 2 weeks left

***** ok thanks

Autogefühl chr please

Yes 3008 review coming up in a coupe of weeks.

Do you know which engine it will be?

no not yet, stay subbed to know :)

and 5008 we ll also do of course, but later

Yeah you could also consider a X-Trail, got some review of that one here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VKlB06WMqAY.html

Thank You Thomas , I drove many first Xtrails for Nissan Press back in the day . Your reviews are very detailing .

What is my motivation to be biased in any way? Listen to what I said, I said Tiguan Allspace and Skoda Kodiaq. All three cars (Santa Fe) are exactly 4,70 m

Autogefühl sorry never heard tiguan allspace. About other points? Middle seat comfort. No transmission tunnel. People liking BMW does not mean they hate Audi. But people tend to find mistakes in Audi. What a pity that no body talk about BMW offset leg pedals. I like BMW. I live with the offset. But just can't stand if some other manufacturers does it. I hope this answers the question.

That's why I recommend reading our video description and listening to the video. I said that the Tiguan Allspace and more videos are linked right there. Check it out: Compare Hyundai Tucson: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bwbb6dfxBoY.html Compare VW Tiguan (Allspace): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ETHQJ1bm6rc.html Compare Skoda Kodiaq: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4ThrWBWDevo.html

Autogefühl Thomas since I love your channel and follow religiously I watch almost every video. My bad that I missed all space. Probably I overlooked. But that doesn't answer other points. Any ways peace.

Hyundai uses some really old engines. Diesels 10 years ago couldn't do any better. Because this engine is 10 years old. Instead of designing a new engine, they tweaked the old one to comply with emission standards. It worked for a while, and then this happened.

hehe ye

Thank you for taking interest in this very important topic! First to the practical reasons: 1. animal skin seats get hot in summer and you stick to the seat 2. they are cold in winter 3. on cloth or microfibre, you basically don’t need seat heating nor cooling 4. animal skin seats wear out very fast and look like granny’s old sofa 5. if you want leather look, the leatherette (faux leather) surfaces are meanwhile highly evolved and it is possible that it feels even softer and better than anything else (See our Tesla Model X review) So Tesla shows that the discussion wether you need animal skin is basically done. Still, now to the environmental reasons: 1. There are many productions where the cow is killed for the skin first, sometimes even alive, the skin is the most profitable single part of the body. 2. The way the cows are held are catastrophic (see videos below) 3. Even if a cow gets killed for meat first, you give additional money to an industry that relies on murder, pollutes the environment and harms people with chemicals. 4. Does it really matter for which cause a mammal, that is 99 % genetically identical with us, gets killed? Would you say a cow only got slaughtered for the meat in the leg and thus it got slaughtered for the meat in the neck anyway? That doesn’t make sense. 5. So to the often said argument, animal skin would just be a byproduct, please google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. A good overview on all those issues can also be found here: adaptt.org/ 6. Let's say you are standing at the meat counter. And you ask for the leg of the cow. The butcher tells you: "You can eat that without worrying, the cow was slaughtered for the neck first". The next customer demands the neck. The butcher tells him: "It's not your fault, the cow was slaughtered for the belly". An the next customer demands the hide, what answer does he get? You see, that argument of "byproduct" comes from the meat and leather industry to cover that you contribute to killing no matter which part of the body you buy. Special videos: 1. A special video from Autogefühl considering the use of leather can be found here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8f91KgbVbJQ.html 2. And another one right here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tMNgcLE0LDU.html 3. Furthermore, you’ll find footage of leather production here, where people are walking in chemicals etc. and animals have to watch their friends being slaughtered in front of their eyes: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JipYvuDsI6s.html timecode starting 27:46 4. This is another video which very well summarizes the torture of leather production, shots taken at big farms which directly produce for the automotive industry: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OgHs239bAnE.html Help to raise awareness on this subject. Thanks!

Thomas, I am a big fan of nice leather, but you have convinced me to purchase a non leather car in the future. Thank you.

So great to hear !!

That is because it is design from 2013. Santa Fe Sport is due to refresh. In fact, there will be interesting concepts for Hyundai and Genesis in 2018 to 2020. Thanks for the detailed analysis. Pleasure watching the review. +Autogefuhl

Everybody knows this. But the car you can buy right NOW is old, and low-quality.

cheers!

It is because of old design and platform. There is the reason why Tuscan looks improved, ride quality, driving characteristics, and engine. Like i said, wait for refresh Santa Fe Sport. Hyundai has been doing great jobs lately especially with Tuscon, Elantra Eco, Elantra Sport, and now i30 hatch along with the wagon based on i30 platform.
