This is exactly what I needed to see, I drive 10+ hours most days in my 2021 Sante fe , I’ve been thinking about the new model ,

This is the new carsauce format... travel vlog + daddy jacob + car review in disguise

I regularly drive long distances like Brisbane to Townsville or Charters Towers or Sydney (not so far) straight through. By the way .. I am 63 so I am surprised a young bloke like yourself does not find it easier. Its not difficult to do when you develop a rhythm to your driving. Biggest fatigue bringer is noise so I tend to keep stereos off or very low, and use noise cancelling ear phones just for that. No piped audio. Regular stops for coffee and plenty of water. Good food rather than snacks to help stay away from the sugar hit and subsequent crash after. I like the headlights on the Santa Fe. They help because I also like to do as much of my trips at night as I can. Anyway .. interesting to see how the car coped with the run. Not sure its my cup of tea though.

That’s great. And what do you drive on those long trips? I get tired in some brands and feel much better in others on same routes.

Nice one mate!

Matty…great review of the Hyundai SantaFe. Amazing car, looks like a level up from the previous model. Btw while you were about to enjoy the Pie, did you end up sharing it with the alone man starring the lake with you?

Love the cargo pants. All the pockets. All the utility!

great filming location to start the vid...a couple of discarded mattresses in the background...a noisy train...excellent!

Melb to CBR is not that bad. Super boring drive. The worse is driving in Victoria... speed limit

I drove two weeks ago a 2013 Toyota Camry hybrid from Brisbane to Sydney did 940 km used 55 lt in total

I think your lucky to get out of that suburb without daddy Jacobs guns, looked dodgy, lucky you wasn't mugged, the car looks amazing and headlights seem really good. Cause i dont think car makers seem to care about headlights enough.

@CarSauce How is the passing power on the Hwy? I will be upgrading my Hyundia i30 SR (1.6 turbo) soon. I travel from Brisbane to Hervey Bay (3.5 hours one way) regularly. On that trip there are a lot of trucks which the i30 blasts by easily, it can jump from 100km/h to 130km/h in an instant in the overtaking lane. The Santa Fe Hybrid has the same engine albeit an electric motor to assist but a LOT heavier vehicle, did you feel the car struggle to pass slow moving trucks easily?

I’m so glad to see the spare tire, because that means there’s hardware out there to adapt the North American EV models to do that. Otherwise you just have a mobility kit.

Early mins of the vid - sleepy sleepy daddy!

Ideally car sauce can do an un bias comparison between this car and the Tank 500 that would be great. Allot of similarities between both cars features and the fact both are hybrid.

This was an extremely useful video - thanks for posting. I'm about to pull the trigger on an order for a Calligraphy trim powder blue hybrid - I do a lot of long distance driving, including Italy to/from UK a few times a year, at a distance of around 1400km each way, which I try to do in 16-18 hours. It can be a bit insane to do, but having a comfortable car in which to do it, with a good sound system, should make all the difference. I hope I can live with the safety features' bings and bongs, but like you said, for NCAP 5 these are a requirement, so other manufacturers will also have similar. The question is, how many of these features can be turned off to avoid annoyance?

You found one of the grungiest back end out industrial block backing onto train line in Melbourne lol

that petrol station looks like in Braddon Lonsdale st?...

need the full version

Looks great inside and from the front, rear design is ruined by the positioning of the lights. Would certainly consider buying one if I were in the market for something similar.

It's got amazing lights for night driving, what's the story with the colour of the video ?

Is it better than Kia sorrento GT ?

Why doesn’t the middle light bar turn on?

My 2022 CX5 Turbo gets 7.1L/100km whenever I drive Sydney to Brisbane or Sydney to Canberra. But unfortunately in my regular commutes it’s around 10.2L/100km. Hence why I am looking at a Hybrid option now

Great review. Can't like the rear end though, It's hideous with the brake lights positioned where they are!

What is that with the rear design 😂 from the front it's good stance but they have made a van in the rear😅.the design ,its like good film throughout but towards the end director wrapped up the schedule too quick with a very boring climax.

I used to do Geelong to Surfers in one go back in the day with no air con, no safety tech, no stereo, no nuthin. You young blokes have become soft as butter. Harden up.

OMG is daddy Jacob dumping his partner so you can finally be together?!

Hhmmm. Thought it would get better economy. We have a 2019 Volvo XC60 diesel (current shape but you can’t get the diesel anymore) and regularly drive Melbourne to Mildura and back and get 6 to 6.5l/100km driving approx 5kph over the limit with anything from 2-4 people in the car with their luggage. I assume the now previous Santa Fe diesel would be similar to the Volvo. Not sure the petrol/hybrid is a step in the right direction for highway driving.

Hybrids are slightly worse than diesel in highway fuel economy, but will destroy them in the city. Not to mention, they're quieter, smoother, and have better power and torque. Hybrids are a better choice than diesel unless you need to tow.

Heard it has a gearbox problem

Here’s a way to spend your time: practice pronouncing Albury. It’s not ‘Al’bury. It’s pronounced ‘All’bury. And also why are you driving over dirt roads between Melbourne and Canberra? Is your navigation system broke? There you go; somethings to ponder.

I get about 7.5L/100 kms on the highway in my Kia Stinger GT. Twin turbocharged V6, no hybrid at all. So your fuel economy is nothing special.

Hybrids do their magic in city traffic. Where a car this since should do 12-14L/100km, it still does 7. Battery kicks in at start stop traffic.

Why do these manufacturers keep making seven seats ? How many families have 7 people in it buying these cars ? I like it but would rather get rid of the third row, save the weight and increase storage capacity.

​@ricecrash5225 The Tucson exists for those who don't want a 3rd row. We don't need a CX-70 and CX-90 situation, which was the issue with the old Santa Fe. It was too similar to Tucson space wise.

I'm sure this is a fantastic car, practical, spacious, built well... but I saw one today in the flesh. And it's soooo fugly from the rear corner quarter. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this one is bad. In my opinion.

Got to wonder though, reclining seats that massage & super quiet might that not actually add to driver fatigue in relaxing the driver , rather keeping them awake?

Everyone you watch takes advertorial money from different brands in different ways. Website banner ads are a classic example. We are a business and need to make money, and one of the ways we do that are fun videos like this. It doesn’t sway our opinion of the brand, especially as we work through an agency and not the brand itself. If Hyundai release a shit product, you’ll be sure to see us saying so 👍
