I test-drove it yesterday. Comfortable, and the movement is responsive. Interiors and dashboard design are at another level compared to competitors. Good looking design except for the weird tail lamp position. It would be even better to move a bit higher.
This is a great looking car ! And the engineers hit a home run on the rear ended ! They have given you a wide opening and low level entry ! And having the lights setup lower is right for safety and use ! This car has so many features ! This car checks all the boxes for me as a family car and a 8:30 Daily driver !
great review very detailed we were going to go the sorrento but now wanting to wait till the Santa Fes launch to at least test drive it. wondering if the design of the charging pads will set off traffic cameras top down and whether people will get a fine as a result
I've seen a lot of Santa Fe videos since the launch of the new model overseas in August. We were going to wait for it, but over time, it became apparent that the new model wasn't going to have the diesel option. This was confirmed by a dealer we visited 4 weeks ago. So we bought the Palisade Highlander instead to suit our purposes.
I don't mind the tailgate. I won't need to look at it anyway... lol Seriously though, it was done for a purpose. The opening its extremely wide for loading and unloading. It also doubles as a awning for tailgating plus Hyundai even offers a tent to attach to the vehicle. Apparently if they raised the taillights they would need to change where they place rear struts and would need to reduce the opening to do so.
I think the whole car is gorgeous I think it’s the best looking Santa Fe yet it’s a sports utility vehicle it’s not supposed to be sexy it’s supposed to be practical rugged a roomie that’s what you buy an SUV for if you want sexy sleek and all that other stuff buy a sports car I think Hyundai nailed it
Great video and really interesting new model, but I have to say the dual Qi charges may be useless given they are flat and have no way of holding a phone in place. I look forward to the Qi2 standard with magnetic alignment (a la Apple's MagSafe) to be adopted in the car industry (which realistically, will take years).
Looks great from the front, but I would kill the rear with fire. Between the overall look and the ridiculously low placement of the lights (great if you enjoy being rear-ended because they can't see you braking, I suppose) - it's so bad it would prevent me from buying this car
It was going great till the rear end. Its like one team designed the rest of the car and another was given the rear end design which they clearly destroyed.
The new Santa Fe does have three rows of seats, and like the current model will likely be available in both six- and seven-seat versions when it goes on sale in Australia. We'll know more closer to launch.
Maybe it’s time for you to visit your eyes specialist it seems you are also out of your mind?…bitter or because you can’t afford one?…keep your opinion inside your house it doesn’t make sense to some!…😅😅😅
Something seems to have gone terribly wrong with Hyundais design philosophy and things seem to have regressed with 2024 santa fe. Vehicle looks like a boxy american station wagon from the 80s..In comparison 2023 santa fe looked much more modern and futuristic..
A grave mistake committed by Hyundai with this ugly design that is not in line with modern designs. Hyundai must remedy the situation and completely redesign the Santa Fe.
1.6 for a big SUV? Seriously? The GOLF's got a 1.4, and the Corolla's rocking a 2.0. Are they for real? And those lights way down at the bottom? Not the smartest move. Imagine you're in front of a road train or some beefed-up 4X4 - they won't see your car's bumper. That means when you signal, they're in the dark, and that's a safety problem right there.1.6 ? for a Large SUV?
Babylove, Are you looking at buying one or a vehicle in this segment ? I don't think so. You quote Golf and Corolla. I think you're just bitching for clicks. So, move on. AKA, FO.
@babeyoulove1883 you know F1 engine is 1.6L as well? I know they are completely different engine, but it shows that the number doesn't say everything about the engine.
Non hybrid gets a 2.5L Turbo 4 cyl which has about 280HP and does 0-100 in mid 7's (Based off the Sorento which gets that motor overseas. Would be my pick.

finally they made the exterior look much more better! I really like it than the previous Santa Fe
Did they forgot to cover the 3rd row? Or am I missing something here? 😮
Do you feel big difference in power between hybrid and 2.5 gasoline?
Love it how it looks
great review very detailed we were going to go the sorrento but now wanting to wait till the Santa Fes launch to at least test drive it. wondering if the design of the charging pads will set off traffic cameras top down and whether people will get a fine as a result
Look amazing car
Is the 2.5 Turbo going to be available in AWD?

I saw one on the road today for the 1st time and it looked 👍
Price guide for top of the line hybrid ? Not a fan of the back but love the interior

love this. even the back...don't understand the haters on that...get over it...!

i don't know if i like the back of it but as for the rest its really nice.. great report too...
Thanks for watching Leo!

This is a Land Rover Discovery 5 copy. Discovery 5 was released in 2017 with a polarizing backend
They should considering the back tail lights, they need to move upwards. That would move many buyers to other options. Otherwise it looks great
No footage of the backseat?
Hyundai's AU Falcon. Expect a series 2 within 12 months to fix the extinction event that is the rear styling.
Great car overall but honestly the back spoils it for me personally
The back is a little odd with the low down lights and indicators, but I quite like the overall look and styling.
Looks great from the front, but I would kill the rear with fire. Between the overall look and the ridiculously low placement of the lights (great if you enjoy being rear-ended because they can't see you braking, I suppose) - it's so bad it would prevent me from buying this car
There's a 3rd brake light and it's an suv. You shouldn't even be following so closely either
@@mattblock6616 True - doesn't change the aesthetic disgust about it though.
It was going great till the rear end. Its like one team designed the rest of the car and another was given the rear end design which they clearly destroyed.
Don't have 3rd row?

overall, a good-looking vehicle, but the design of the back lets it down a bit.
Wheres the 2 nd row AC???
Within the b pillars
The outlander plug in kills this car.
It looks awkward but may be it will grow on me
Looks like a 70s station wagon.
The tail lights need to be higher
I can tell you have no idea what regulations are.
@@JohnLee-db9zt please go on
The logo label ‘Santa Fe’ too big, too wannabe look
Rear lights are not well designed. Not appealing at all
But front face looks sick
It has an ugly backend, and it doesn’t look like an SUV
Stop talking about your gf like that.
The Santa Fe is really nice, but that back has to go!!!
dropped the best engine, the Diesel, so not an option for me.
Love the interior design, but not the outside design.
The back seems to be the most polarising angle - Sam
Such a puny 1.6 l engine for the vehicle is that size
With an electric motor and a turbo
Seems no spare wheel? this is a deal breaker- sorry.
@babyyoulove. That's the shi t hybrid. The non hybrid will have a bigger engine.
Korean design language has been rather awkward in recent years
1.6 engine what a 🃏
Front good, back not so.
Ugly back, otherwise beautiful exterior and interior.
Too big for me.
Wow, they destroyed the Santa! What a disgraceful design.

More like Land Rover knock-off.

한국에서는 쓰레기차에요 ㅋㅋㅋ
Looking Chinese...
G-wagon and Santa Fe should never be mentioned in the same sentence.
Do you own a G Wagen ?
At least not until it has front, rear and central locking diffs, low range and more torque...

🤣
LOL
Do not like the back, it's like a Toyota minivan 😢
Land Rover 😂
It must have a diesel or l won’t upgrade my Santa Fe

Calm down. It's not that big suv first. and second, it's a hybrid, so you gotta think about electric motor too.
@@donghyunkim8002 Ok .. It's 7 seater with 1.6 ? so It's not a small SUV for sure..
Babylove,
Are you looking at buying one or a vehicle in this segment ?
I don't think so.
You quote Golf and Corolla.
I think you're just bitching for clicks.
So, move on.
