Love this Hyundai Hybrid it’s very quiet and fuel efficient, I’ve been getting around 35mpg here in WNY with temperatures in the teens, during the summer I’ve been getting near 40 mpg. This vehicle is very quite and it’s hard to feel the transition from EV to motor. UPDATE: Nothing to dislike just a nice quiet vehicle which is delivering 44mpg on a regular basis. Looking forward to the redesign 2024

Great Vehicle for the Money

Hybrid Limited has tons of features, everything on my wish list. Fit, finish and materials are top notch. Materials not quite up to a Lexus or BMW but at least $15K less. Averaging about 30MPG, hoped for a little better but still great for SUV this size. Love the infotainment display and buttons on center console. Seat heating should be on side bolsters not just seat bottom. But very minor complaints considering all features and high quality.

I bought this car because it’s comfortable, quiet, and efficient. The rife is very smooth and the cabin is quieter than any other car I’ve had. It’s way better than my former 2000 CRV in those areas. I’ve been averaging 41mpg, but I drive in a way that maximizes my efficiency, to me it’s like a game to get the best mileage. Still, the car has good acceleration when it’s needed. The interior is very nice, the seats are comfortable, and the cargo space is better than other models I looked at. One complaint is the wireless charger, which charges VERY slowly heats my iphone up to high levels, I don’t use it anymore. Also, the vertical charging slot is a convenient use of space, but looks like it could attract coins or debris. The hybrids are hard to find, I wanted the limited but could only find one SEL within 300 Nile’s of my home. However, the SEL has most of the features I wanted. The styling, especially in the front end, can be polarizing, but I like it. Overall it’s a great car and I’ve been very happy with it.

A safety concern

My red Santa Fe is beautiful to look at and I'm impressed with the fuel economy of my hybrid limited. It also has a very smooth ride and comfortable seats. The concern is with my electronics. They do not like hot days... from the tech screen to my hatch being stuck open when it was 110 degrees outside... the heat can make electronics act up. The worse problem has been with the FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE. It has gone off a number of times when no other cars are even near me! It is a danger because it happens when you least expect it. You will be driving along with lots of distance from cars around you and suddenly, the steering wheel stiffens dramatically and the car feels out of control for a few seconds... it is very scary for the driver. I believe this issue will cause a crash sooner or later for someone. I wish I had known about this issue before I bought the car. It would have changed my purchase. From my research on line, this is not something that the dealer has any luck in fixing. Please be aware this will be an issue with Santa Fe if you choose to go with this choice. UPDATE! In addition to the forward collision going off without any warning... please be sure to test drive this car at low speeds below 5 mph in a parking lot and press on the brakes... my car brakes are annoyingly "grabby" at slow speeds... when going at a slow speed and I barely press lightly on the brake to come to a stop ... the next thing I know, the car will act like I am slamming on the brakes! It's so annoying and is so bad for my neck... I'm serious... please be sure to try it a number of times in a parking lot to be sure that your car does not do this. From my research this is due to the Hyundai hybrid braking system... because of the braking issues, the forward collision problems, and the horribly small and limiting door storage in all doors... I had to lower my rating and suggest others to check out the Toyota Crown and the Toyota Venza before choosing this SUV. I'm super sad that I did not know about the Crown before buying this suv.

Guess I had to buy.

I've been looking for a Santa Fe Hybrid for a year, and finally found one at a nearby dealer. Someone else had ordered with a substantial down payment, but then declined when the vehicle came in. Dealer offered to me, under sticker, no market adjustment, reasonable trade in - so I had to buy. I got the Limited - it has everything. All in all - I love it. Mileage is a little lower than advertised, but I've been doing mainly highway driving for the first month. I think it will settle down to low 30's. It is Lexus like - I've had a Lexus since '97, until now. I get the same feeling of competence. It's pretty big for a mid size. Quick, with so many bells and whistles - I'm still learning. People stare at it as they walk by. So far, so good.
