I got a company car two years ago, given the budget I had the only option was a Hyundai palisade… I drive 30k miles a year. I have no 60k, had no single issues, pulled trailers a lot including now a maxed out travel trailer 5000 pound. Has been a great car, get 28mpg on the highway (driving 75-80, always 10 over speed limit) the driving assist and adaptive cruise control is awesome!

Currently leasing our third Hyundai Tucson. The 2022 engine blew at 20,000 miles while we were on vacation in Pennsylvania. Called the Hyundai road service number on the drivers side window & they picked up the car 45 minutes later & took it to the closest Hyundai Dealer, Frysinger Hyundai, in Mechanicsburg, Pa. Hyundai furnished us a rental car from Enterprise to drive back home to Indiana. Frysinger updated us regularly & installed the new engine. Hyundai made arrangements to ship our car to the dealer we got it from. We picked it up & turned the rental car back to Enterprise in our town. While I can say it was an experience I don't want to go through again, I thank Hyundai for doing everything possible to make us whole again. Next lease we will definitely consider the redesigned Sante Fe,

Watch that air filter door. The dealer will slam that thing shut and break the hinges off of it in two seconds. I had to argue with them to replace mine.

The transmission will learn how you drive so it'll get out from a dig better over time (if you're in to that). I have a Santa Cruz for a few years now and the powertrain is pretty much the same - there were a slew of DCT issues - I think they're pretty much ironed out.

Best commercial Hyundai ever made 😂😂😂 so are you going to get one would you give up your volt for one😮

does it change its own timing chain at 60k?

I'll take one with a white exterior and black interior. How do I start my own GFM to pay for it?

I don't understand why internet car guys are so in love with the hyundai/kia dual clutch transmission. My wife has a Seltos with a 7-speed DCT and it's awful. At low speeds it handles like a stick shift being driven by a teenager. It stutters, stalls, and surges. We live near Branson and it's nearly undrivable in that hilly town. She was eyeballing the Santa Fe as a replacement until she realized it has essentially the same transmission.

Your family are all naturals on the channel.

Holy cow, what a great review. Never thought I wanted a Hyundai. You are making the markups go even crazier JR. I think Hyundai understands the the MSRP game and probably encourages the dealership to markup their enticing affordable prices (you can never get them at their msrp).
