Spoken for the limited hybrid. My dealership said 7months before I could get it. I will wait. I want the 7 seats hence why I won't go for the calligraphy hybrid.

Do they have auto parking ? Do you know if they will have hybrid soon ?

I think the XRT trim is the way to go for me. If they made a SEL with a package that adds the sunroof, then i would've settled for that. But the XRT is standard with AWD, which is a plus!

Thanks! Do you know how the 2nd row compares to the VW atlas?

Could you please tell location of catalytic converter in 2024 model? I had to sell my 2015 Santa Fe after cat was stolen 3 times. Can't risk buying another one if location of cat is same.

Another good review, guys. Question: is it possible to get a smaller wheel size (18”?) on the HEV Caligraphy?

@CarConfections

Thanks! Not as an official option but you could replace the wheels aftermarket. We look forward to testing a Calligraphy VERY soon to test out the ride quality compared to other trims

I just wish they would bring out the calligraphy model without the blackout package with the regular wheels and not the black..... Hyundai is sure making us wait for the model we want!!

Rear reminds me those old school cab over 🚚

Best value I feel is the calligraphy hybrid for the price difference and what u actually get

OK guys.....been watdhing your videos on the new Santa Fe for a while....and it sold us.....we took posession of our new Limited model a little over a week ago. HUGE drawback to the Forward Attention Warning system. While using the smart cruise control, the FAW kicked in and turned off the cruise control because it said it could not recognize my face. Upon researching this, I discovered that wearing sunglasses prohibits the system from seeing your eyes, therefore shutting off the cruise control. You CANNOT turn this feature off! Hyundai needs to fix this! I wear contact lenses and sunglasses are a must. The only option is to never use the cruise control when wearing sunglasses, which is totally unacceptable. There are other instances listed in the manual where this would happen as well, but again, you should be able to turn this off. If I missed something....please advise!

We have heard the same thing from other owners… hopefully Hyundai will update this issue very quickly!

As a dog owner, the major point is can the 2nd row seats fold up like the old Honda HRV 2nd row did. That is a major feature that seems now days to be impossible to find in an SUV.

Tow package is not yet available. Sadly, you can’t get the Bose on the XRT. In a totally cheapskate move, XRT doesn’t include the electronic rear view mirror. Finally, additional colors will become available over time.

Which trim level give you the transmission that lasts more than 40 miles?

The base model sounds nice. Moonroof. It's tight. The Palasades! Yes, more room. The SEL is about 40k. Interest rates are high. Smaller tires equals better ride?

They need to bring back the premium package for the SEL. They tried to simplify the trim walk by taking packages out, but it just left gaps in the trims. That said, the XRT is the gap filler in the ICE models, but for those of us waiting on the hybrid that’ll be a big leap to make.

Wow, the calligraphy would be a great trim to go with, but the 21 inch wheels would be an absolute dealbreaker for me. #1 would be the ride quality. You would feel every single bump and expansion joint on the freeway. #2 would be the cost to replace the tires set a tires for that vehicle would be well over $1500 To $2000. That is a big decision when buying a vehicle the cost of changing out the tires and most of these tires only have a life expectancy to a maximum of 50,000 miles so two sets of tires and 100,000 miles will set you back almost $4000 plus the ride quality is not good with 21 inch tires.

Toyota transmission problems have been cropping up in 2017 to 2020 models of certain vehicles. There have been a number of complaints about the power train made to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but no safety recalls to date. The Toyota transmission complaints over the past several years have been so numerous that attorneys are now assembling complainants to join a class action lawsuit against Toyota. The most common Toyota transmission problems logged with the NHTSA involve a lack of power or acceleration in the vehicles, or the automatic transmission remaining “stuck” in a particular gear. Complaints also include: Rough, delayed or sudden shifting Failure to accelerate from a stop Transmission shudder Sudden loss of power Premature transmission failure

@@PeterGreter It's a legitimate point to make because people always bash Hyundai when you can spend more to get a Toyota and have transmission problems just outside the warranty so you're left footing the bill. If your transmission fails in a Hyundai at low mileage, it'll be replaced for free. Much better warranty terms. It' also helps illustrate that Hyundai is not the only manufacturer having reliability problems. The highly regarded Toyotas are as well and probably shouldn't be regarded so highly anymore.

nobody mentions that the new Santa Fe is inferior to the older one in acceleration. I have the 2021 and it does zero to 60 in 6.1 sec while this 2024 does it in 7.6 sec. after my test drive of the 2024 i drove home in my 2021 and enjoyed the acceleration my 2021 provided. they added 500 lbs and kept the same hp !!reviewers are ignorant!
