The new Santa Fe rides PRETTY firm. Otherwise, Hyundai made several meaningful improvements over the older Sport.

I bought a 2019 Santa Fe Ultimate 2.0 Turbo in January and I love it! Mine came equipped with everything except all-wheel drive because I don’t need it where I live. For gas mileage, I’m averaging 25 mpg and so far, the only negative I’ve found about this vehicle is a minor annoyance at best - Because of the overhanging fairing on the back window, the top four inches of glass has to be cleaned by hand. Automatic car washes can’t reach up there, nor can those little hand-held squeegees the gas stations have. Like I said, a minor annoyance but one I’m willing to live with because the rest of the vehicle is awesome!

We have the 2.4 and bought it because of the 8 speed transmission, not a CVT. I find it drive a little clunky at the slowest speeds but has plenty of power to pass at highway speeds. We have had it loaded down with luggage and it drives still very well. The optional turbo model is a mechanical risk over years of longevity the history of turbo is not appealing to me.

Rav4, CR-V, CX-5 they are all smaller than Santa Fe. Tuscon is same sized as them. However, Santa Fe is about the same price as they are. Turbo engine, Spacious interior, safety features, Cheaper price and longer warranty. MPG seems to be no big deal considering what you get for the money. Gas prices are cheaper these days anyway

@eskieman3948 5 лет назад

I drove a rental Santa Fe three months ago in northern Florida - I was expecting it's standard engine to be a dog, but it wasn't at all. I had to pop the hood to double-check what I had. Unless you haul heavy loads or live in hilly or mountainous country, I think it would be just fine. The optional engine has more power, but it's reported to have a bit of a 'lag' when you put your foot into it. Suggest you drive that one to decide for yourself.

I have this exact same car in a 2015 and love it. No problems whatsoever. Getting about 22mpg in stop and go driving. Looking to get another in 2020 as I want the additional safety features now available and the surround view cameras. I do wish they still offered a V6 like our 2007 had. Wife drives a 2016 Murano, I like the V6 but hate the CVT. Fortunately Hyundai hasn’t succumbed yet. Have shopped all the comparable and can’t beat the value. Thought about looking at Pallisade to get a V6 but it’s usually only me driving so I don’t need something bigger.

For a four cylinder, it is lousy on gas (20-22 mpg), but it handles well with three steering options by push button. Leather, electric seats, heated seats, etc. How far we can go with it, not sure, but right now, we are happy with it.

@palebeachbum 5 лет назад

Looks like a really nice vehicle inside and out. Good value too. I'm personally not a fan of turbocharged engines, however. It puts a lot of extra strain on the motor and you learn the hard way when the engine has racked up the miles. They tend to blow head gaskets and burn oil compared to their non-turbo counterparts, plus those turbos fail and cost a small fortune to replace.

@natepalmer6137 5 лет назад

there's usually deals to jump up to 10yr 100,000 miles, my 2011 optima hybrid(same company now) was only 1,100 and i'm still riding under the number and getting 4 free oil changes a year. no worries for 10 years.. what a bargain and stress free. looking at this for my wife's new vehicle or the highlander, she didn't like the mazda cx5 the last 3 years, too small as it turns out and the electronics/gps freaked out a lot.

I have a 2010 2.4L AWD and love it. We have only ever done just normal maintenance, not one failure of any major component. The AWD performs flawlessly in Canadian winters with just All-Weather tires, not all season. The 2.4L has plenty of grunt and gives good highway mileage, so so in the city. We have preventative rust treatment done every year so the body and undercarriage look fantastic. We traded in a Lexus RX 300 for this and have never looked back. Not as fancy but cheaper to operate and the AWD gives good winter performance.

It's been over a month ever since we've bought our '20 SF Limited 2.0t, loving it a crudton! I still hate the silly ISG system (does not save any gas whatsoever, just wears the crap out your starter and battery, and also hate having to keep turning it off every single time I start the car), can't believe new cars have that kind of stupid crap as a requirement WSO. Remote Start is one thing that I really like about our Santa Fe (very simple, you can check your doors, hood and trunk, AC, windows, start your car from your home, I love it, it's pretty useful). Another thing that I really like about my Santa Fe is the Smart Liftgate (so if your hands are full, for example, and as long as you have the keyfob in your pocket, the car detects the keyfob and the tailgate will sense your movements and will open the tailgate.) One last feature that I love about our Santa Fe (which our previous '16 Tucson Eco did NOT come with) is a window/door lock, so the main purpose/caveat of this feature is that it'll lock all windows and doors so that you can't open the windows, but problem is, when the system is activated, you can't open the door, so you have to deactivate this feature before you can get out of the car. Ahh, I almost forgot to mention, it also comes with BSM/BSWS, and turn signal cameras (which i've seen before on almost every new Honda car.) and Smart Cruise Control.

@deu8894 5 лет назад

Great review The new Toyota Rav4 is also a worthy competitor to this if the CR-V and much smaller CX5 are to be considered. It would be great if Hyundai can bring back the V6 engine as an option. Although with industry leading warranty, there's no harm purchasing the 2.0L.

@theodorekell 5 лет назад

Rav4 is a noisy buzzer with snappy transmission. I would research into this new 4cyl engine from Toyota. Their previous 4 bangers had big issues long term, post 100K miles. Apparently they used delayed firing cycle and that exposed oil on the cylinder walls to the flame. As result, Toyota engines have big oil consumption issues as their engines age. At least they added port injection to DI so there should be no issues with soot on the valves. The funny part is that 2018 RDX with v6 constantly reported to average 23-24mpg with HWY driving as much as 32mpg. And at the same time it gets you 0-60 in 6 sec. While SF 2LT does 7.5 sec and has no advantage of fuel economy.

@jonathanwalker2543 4 года назад

My wife has the SEL trim with the base 4cyl engine. She gets about 28 mpg, and if you need to get up and go, the sport mode gets you in and out of fast moving traffic with ease. Sport mode is agressive enough that I won't stay in it for regular driving. I don't need that much jump out of a stop.

I test drove the 2.4L FWD Limited and then the 2.0T Ultimate AWD. There was about a five thousand dollar difference between these two vehicles. As such, I went with the 2.4L FWD because I didn't notice a significant difference in performance between the two engines. My guess is because the 2.0T AWD weighs a little more and has larger tires. I didn't test drive the 2.0 FWD, so there may have been a noticeable difference between this vehicle and the one I purchased. Nonetheless, you won't find a better value for the price.

I have a 2011 and want a new one, but the new one has less power/acceleration than my V6, and it actually has lower fuel economy than my 2011.. so if they opt for 2.4L Turbo (2L just too small for this size), and that makes it handle the weight better, fuel economy may be better in a 2.5L turbo...and if they can get the ratings to approx. min. 22City and 28/Hwy... at min.. I'll buy a 2020 model later this year, otherwise, it's off the list due to poor fuel rating.. so so power. making it worse.... my 2011 has 8" ground clearance, newer ones (last 6 years have less).. too bad..

Yeah, all these 4 cylinders are driving me nuts! I get it, they get good gas mileage, but people who buy SUV's shouldn't worry so much about gas mileage. Besides the V6 in previous Santa Fe vehicles were always powerful, yet efficient. I drove a 2012 SE model with the 3.5L V6. The acceleration was smooth and fuel economy was almost the same as I would get in a 4 cylinder. Such a shame. This new model would benefit from the 3.3L 290 HP motor significantly.

@sdtaylor07 5 лет назад

DC Johnson Funny that the new blazer, which I’m assuming this somewhat competes with, has a V6 option and equal or better MPG. Sometimes that 4 cylinder just isn’t worth it.

@kylegero211 4 года назад

I had a 2014 Santa fe sport that I meticulously maintained and loved for 2 years, however the engine violently exploded on me at 57,000 miles only 20 minutes after leaving the Hyundai dealership. I was at the dealership because I needed a new battery and while it was there they did a full Diagnostics and safety inspection which it passed. There was zero warning when the engine exploded and I lost control of the car when it blew up and ended up in someone's yard. After fighting with the dealership for over two weeks they finally agreed to put in a free new engine (keep in mind the warranty was still active on the car however they still put up a fight over replacing the engine) it took them over 2 months to replace the engine. Less than 24 hours after I got my car back the engine started leaking coolant at an alarming rate in which I had to demand the dealership to fix it. The day after they repaired the leak the starter started acting up and would randomly decide to not start the car. I decided to just give up on the car and traded it in. All of that headache was not worth it, I lost thousands of dollars on the trade in because the resale value of these cars are in the toilet. I am utterly disappointed in Hyundai. I was a loyal customer however because of the awful experience I had with my car and the horrible treatment I received from the dealership I will never trust any of there cars ever again.

Also sometimes the gas fuel range would never pop up. I could fill the whole tank about, and the computer would tell me I had 0 miles to empty.

My wife has a 2019 Santa Fe. I absolutely hate it, as in despise it!!! I can't get in it without whacking my head and I'm only 5"10". I can never find either seat belt by the center consul. The Idle Stop /Start function is horrible for your engine, regardless what anyone says. It was done to satisfy C.A.F.E. fuel economy numbers. The pneumatic lifts that prop the hood open don't work in the freezing cold, thus murdering the poor son of a btch that's under it. If the vehicle tries to warn me or take control of the steering wheel one more time, I will take a sledge hammer to it. Oh, and some stupid designer child at Hyundai decided to put ELECTRIC parking brakes on the rear wheels instead of the tried and true cable system we learned long ago to use, especially in salty areas. Can't wait til one of the parking brake motors dies in 7 years, only to find out they need to be replaced in pairs. Finally, the car has SOOOOO many useless sensors that will trigger DTCs, even tho they are not true safety issues. As the Santa Fe ages, these sensors are all going to no doubt fail making the average owner broke or unnecessarily wanting a new vehicle. If this isn't planned obsolescence at the highest degree, I don't know what it is. I wanted to like this vehicle, but I keep finding poor design issues. Oh and I forgot this... at oil change time, it takes 5.1 quarts of oil... NOT 5 quarts, which is how much comes in a jug. Now you have to purchase 1 extra quart on top of the jug. If you use synthetic, this is the cost of a cheap meal. Hyundai is shiney poop made to make you orgasm at the dealership, nothing more.
