Happy Saturday guys! Hope your weekend is off to a great start. We are aware that Hyundai has just released a recall on the transmission for all gas-powered Santa Fe models with this 8-speed DCT. It currently is affecting a little over 12,000 vehicles and the company will perform a software update and/or replace the transmission for models that experienced damage due to the fault in the software that caused the transmission to damage itself from normal driving. Be sure to watch a great video from our friends at Car Confections who experience this problem in real life for more details on the recall: ruclips.net/video/QxMSEDnGxgM/видео.html
I like that they recreate the entire vehicle for each generation. It shows imagination which the competitors might be lacking.
Just recalled 13,000 2024 Santa Fe,s for the wonderful DCT. !!!!!!!!!!!!
Better to be recalled than ignoredd
Toyota has over 100k recalled for Tundra and one the Lexus model.
@@jacksonndoll5055Is the new Lexus TX recalled? I heard Toyota issued a “stop sale” on them recently - The wife and I were going to look at one this week but hearing conflicting info…
I think all trims made until July 2nd. They already figured it is a software glitch, or something along that line.
Tell me an automaker that never has a recall?
I’ve never seen a car that looks so good from the front and so terrible from the rear. Land Rover when it’s approaching… 80s minivan when it’s leaving. And I think it looks even worse in person.
No this looks good much better than a boring jellybean shape...you just have don't have any taste
Disagree that it looks worse in person. No one complains about the G glass with its even lower mounted rear lights so I don't see a big problem with the Sonata Fe. Especially because the reason is for better functionality and practicality with its unbelievably wide rear hatch opening for a car with a 74in width.
In person it looks worse. Nice car over all. But the back just kills it.
100% disagree. Looks great from the rear especially in the darker colors. Not like every other boring, bulbous CUV on the road. And the practicality is just a plus.
It’s all a matter of personal preference and taste
Reading the comments, it's so interesting how everyone has different opinions about the looks of this car. I like the rear the most and it would be one of the biggest reasons for me to get this car, if I ever did. It looks so cool!
Lol reading the comments is always fascinating, I like the look of the new SantaFe too
I love that it doesn't look like every other vehicle on the road. It's a nice design, and I think overall a home run.
@@CalvinHikes agreed fully
That back has Korean design language coming from their old era vehicles.
@@coreyvessel9830 nice to know, I like the design of the new SantaFe
Gone are the days of Hyundais and Kias being the budget alternative, a new Mazda CX70 starts at just over 40k, I'd rather go that route than spend almost 50k on a Santa Fe. It's still nice, not just 50k nice. Great video as usual!!
I don’t know if those days are gone. I just wouldn’t get these calligraphy models but a SEL or Limited Santa Fe is pretty good for your money.
The cx70 starts at a higher price and goes up to near 60k
@@PresidentJackBauer Exactly. Meanwhile, you can get a well-equipped Santa Fe SEL model for the 40k starting price of a base CX70, or get the Limited which is slightly more and that's a really nice crossover.
I sorry but Hyundai is still a budget vehicle in my book regardless of what price they slap on it but the interior definitely is in the right direction even though its screaming land rover/Range Rover but typically Korean design approach.. no matter how you slice it.. they should have moved this vehicle to the genesis line
You’re so right. Mazda is on the right track and is very much in the future gonna be the next big thing. Not even being sarcastic but Mazda choosing to do most of their own engines and everything else shows a lot. Toyota is even stopping the BMW engine in the supras and most likely will bring it back with the Mazda inline 6 turbos.
The Flex was ahead of its time.
Looks great front and rear. Shove a BMW badge on it and would cost +$120k. Well done Hyundai Motor Company….👍😎
I love the rear. It’s such a refreshing departure from the typical SUV that have their taillights so close to the 3rd brake light. Thank you Hyundai!
The white interior is really attractive but I could never have that on the seats and steering wheel.
It's a shame that they decided to install the unreliable DCT in otherwise such a nice vehicle.
Just a software issue lol unreliable but I got 80,000 km on my sonata n line
Being recalled. Transmission issues, could roll away, those need new transmissions.
Traditional six speed in the hybrid
@@davidg11134 exactly
Could waiting for new Honda Passport
They need to redesign those tail lights
Once you see dog bone, you can't unsee it
The rear was just a deal breaker for me - ended up going with its KIA counterpart the ‘24 Sorento - and just loving it!!
Absolutely love it - uniqueness, ergonomics, & aesthetics *including the rear fascia*; if I were into SUVs, I’d grab one as I’m well pleased with the Sonata NLine I’m currently leasing.
How is the DCT treating you? It's probably my only annoyance with this car. Wish they made it more robust
@@ayushmalpeddi2793 Honestly it’s fine for me, I drive the car hard and haven’t had any issues at all. Personally I believe many people have had issues because they aren’t used to the nuances of manual transmissions so I adjust my driving depending on its “feel.” Could be more robust - agreed, but it’s pretty solid for what it is, from my experience at least.
I think it looks great in most colors but best in black because the “H”’s in the bumpers stand out much less. And the excellent looking Calligraphy wheels being black with all of the black trim is just dope.
I always appreciate your reviews the most after watching several other ones on the same vehicle. ❤️👍
When I saw negative comments about the rear design before I watched it, I expected something better than what's actually the case... They messed that vehicle up, it doesn't matter the reasons for the awkward design.
I can’t believe this is how the Santa Fe looks now
There are a lotta things you can't believe, fella.
Recalled
And? It’s only 20,000, and the new ones software is already fixed. Nothing major like Toyotas recall
@@bradleyscarreviewsit just shows that the maker is trash - rushing out a product
@@devin1229 and Toyota isn’t with the new tundra and Lx bad engines?
Thumbs up for the reviewer ONLY
Sofyan, You called this Korea's Flex, is Ford going to take this lying down? 🤔😉🤣
Thanks for another great video. The limited also has the UV sanitizer.
The rear end is definitely different from anything else out on the road these days. The first vehicle that came to my mind upon seeing this Hyundai was the Roos Engineering Lagonda Shooting Brake. It too had as wide an opening as possible along with high and low sets of lights. No one mistook that one for a 245 Volvo. However, one could be forgiven for believing this Hyundai is a refugee from a mini van design studio.
I highly recomend the hybrid version of this but unfortunately the non-hybrid is having a lot of problems rn, I’m confident these problems should be ironed out for the 2026 model year though
haha just in time for the massive recall!
So did Toyota. What is your point here?
Buyer beware: Make sure you do some research on Hyundai's 8spd wet DCT before buying. @Car Confections YT channel, bought a new Santa Fe, and briefly after, had to have a complete DCT replacement. Similar stories in all models Hyundai and Kia equipped with the 8spd wet DCT. I was very interested in Hyundai N's and Sonata N-Line, before I started my own research and discovered the problems. Fortunately, some owners haven't had any issues. Of course as long as you buy new or CPO, you still have the 100K powertrain warranty.
In that case Toyota should fold as a company given the massive issues with the tundras and the new Tacoma’s.
The fast lane trucks Tacomas front axle literally fell apart in less that a month.
Cars are going to have have recalls, how fast and how effectively they solve the issue is how to determine reliability
@jordandivitcos1893
Yeah, that's a bad situation Toyota has gotten themselves in. At least they are making it right though. I completely agree that all manufacturers are going to have issues, but the DCT in question has been out since 2021, been recalled once, and still continues to have issues. I personally wouldn't want to go through the hassle if I could avoid it. I would either choose a manual or torque converter auto. DCT's just seem far too complex imo. More fun and engaging than a regular auto though, sure, and definitely their appeal.
All Santa Fe made until July 2nd are part of the recall. Hyundai figured it is a software glitch.
You are mere ignorant. Haha. All brands have recalls. For god sake!
@josephalba978
Glad to hear that, I hope that resolves the issue for good.
Today on this episode of Recall Central..........
Talks about Toyotas massive engine recall.
Is this the same transmission that is failing and being recalled?
Supposedly all the new ones have the software update. Apparently the transmission control module and software was allowing the clutch packs to slip, and then it would tank the transmission. New models will have the updated software, and then there is a recall. We shall see if that fixes it.
@@nicholasbabeaux2052 I think the software update was only done in July, that's why they recalled this week for the 13,000.
Hyundai does not have a recall on any transmission. Don’t exaggerate.
@@techpappee are you being facetious? They do actually.
@@techpappee yes, they do have a recall. Google is free.
For the interior door, instead of saying wood applique sticker, I would call it wood film. Good video, thanks
The rear is the ABSOLUTE main reason I would never purchase one of these. Hopefully a refresh a few years down the line changes it up a bit.
Ya everything but the rear looks good otherwise
They need to get rid of that dual clutch transmission and go to a regular eight speed
It’s fine.
Agreed
Idiots still buying them cause they look weird.
Easier said than done. Hyundai currently does not have a regular 8-speed in their parts bin to work with this car. The company's ICE R & D department was shut down a few years ago.
@@markjwil yep.
The more I see these around, the more the styling has grown on me. I wouldn’t buy these calligraphy models personally but they’re cool cars.
Gotta go with the hybrid with the 6 speed. That has had no issues. Tried and true powertrain. It’s always good to give new models a year or two to work out these issues. It’s common among all brands
I love the rear
This looks like a GIANT lego computer and imagine how many people will bump that awful shifter knob with their knees.
Hybrid all day every day. Calligraphy looks fantastic and has a nicer interior than cars in the $70k+ range.
Hopefully we are at the peak of stretched crossovers. Maybe in the next few years we can move on to somehting else. These designs are very underwhelming to me.
The back of the vehicle looks like the front of a minivan which might confuse the drivers on the road!
I LOVE the look of the side and front of this car, and HATE the rear end LOL
Kinda pissed they didn't release a blue with 24, but i love this as my previous vehicle was a 14 santa fe.
This is so nice but just saw the massive recall and where carfecrtions had issues at 27miles
Yeah, massive with 20k vehicles, and new vehicles already updated with the new software? Talk about massive with Toyotas 100k recall for engines.
I would not have put rear AC controls in the third row. They could have put it somewhere else
A whole total change. Well it looks cool and thus better🎉
Many people haul home improvement materials and other large/long items at times. You could add value to your reviews by taking a tape measure and providing us with the rough length, width, and height of the cargo area with all the rear seats folded down. It would be nice to know if I could haul some 8ft long boards with the rear hatch closed for example.
I know light bars are starting to get annoying, but right below the Hyundai badge is a line where I think the taillight light bar should go. Because the rest of the car is stunning
A lot to like, but the gain in weight, black wheels, and black wheel well molding are steps in the wrong direction. I love my 2023 Calligraphy in Hampton Grey.
RECALLED! 🥱
I really don’t like the exterior at all. I’m a fan of the looks of the Defender but this doesn’t work for me. The interior looks marvelous and I really like the raised dual wireless chargers. The rear climate controls really need to be in the second row. I’m never going to understand why top trim models require consumers to take fewer seats. The road noise is very present in the video. I’ve heard so many reviewers agree that the seat cushions in HKG vehicles are too firm. It would be helpful if rear view cameras were standard on all SUVs. When you say capability………..
The price of this vehicle is too close to the Palisade for me. I can’t think of one reason to buy this over that.
I was actually heavily considering this SUV in a hybrid. Its beautiful, the interior is amazing, but that REAR. They need to redesign that rear. Its sooo bad. Even if they were to move taillights higher, it would drastically change the appearance
Man, it blows me away how much this looks like a lifted Ford Flex.
Ford had a winning design on their hands. They just needed to make an AWD off road version.
What about the issues with the transmission. Gas models have major recalls.
Actually the roofline is only 67.7in tall. With the roof rails its 69.7in tall. The XRT with its increased ground clearance is 71in tall. Normal models only get 7in of ground clearance. XRT gets 8.3in.
Also roof rails are not inckuded on the base trim which is why they list the 67.7in height for the base model only.
Honestly, this Santa Fe is one of the better recently redesigned vehicles in Hyundai's lineup. Some of the other models will age as well as warm milk.
I wanna know what decides if it's a refresh, a redesign, or a whole new model. Is it just whatever the manufacturer feels like? This and the newest Prius; they're so drastically different from the last generation, are they really the same car?
They really need to fix the rear end
Has Hyundai revisited transmission issues and rectified them?
Best. Period
Love it..just hate black wheels..they always look horrible.
The other side of world has alloy wheels with the same design.
I was all for it till i saw the back, oof.
Does this not look like a 2004 Isuzu Axiom?? Exterior is not matched with that interior
Very nice and I wish they put a stronger engine in it like the one from the sister company Kia Stinger
So wierd to have the relaxation feature on the driver side but nowhere else
Love your car video
Hyundai and Kia need to come up with a full size SUV that is not a van.
I really like this vehicle & I think I can buy this.
Hyundai just issued a transmission recall for the Santa Fe… 😅
So did Toyota...100k recalls!!😂😂😂
I saw one parked and I was surprised on how small this thing is, I mean compact “small”.
Rear looks yuk
Yeah, I’m still not sure about the rear end…they could have moved the lights up to at least halfway up and I think it would look much better.
Stop Start feature should be illegal on all vehicles, its one the most useless feature in modern cars
It's truly useless. They say they use a more beefed up starter so it doesn't fail. If that's the case, why not just use it on every car then?
Exactly, you get it
It depends on the car, I recall back in 2012 when I got a new three series it was atrocious. At a stoplight when the car would turn off it would be scary because you would lose electric power steering and it would take a while to come back on. But on modern cars, especially if they have a 48 V mild hybrid Mercedes and BMW it is so smooth. The B-58 BMW in-line six with the mild hybrid and the start stop is flawless. Start/stop in more economy non hybrid cars still have a a long way to go.
In My BMW I definitely see a 2 miles per gallon difference, but I also drive in the city in traffic quite often so I don’t mind it it
I got a hybrid for the first time last month. It sure turns off the engine often (kinda seemless transition) but do I want to be burning fuel while stuck at stop light or traffic? no. These starters are built differently. This tech has been used for decades now. There is no downside of this. I remember reading article about the durability... it was somewhere around in 7 digits of startup. No worry.
stop star feature is included by default by many oems to "improve the EPA fuel economy numbers" it helps increase a few MPG and hence helps the numbers on paper at least.
I thought the Ford Flex and that boxy looking styling always looked off putting
It's nice but the rear tail lights remind me of an 80's Subaru.
Hyundai copies off of every damn body lol
Dog bone! So it wasn't just me! 😂
Last gen looked so much better
I love this suv. I’d take the hybrid
Styling is subjective since it does everything else exceptionally well
Agreed fully, I would suggest it to my uncle for a new car but he doesn’t like hybrids, I don’t recomend the non-hybrid bc they are having a lot of major issues rn
Please let us know when you upgrade your Camry to a Hyundai product Naveen. Keen to hear the ownership experience as I have heard many nightmares and also some trouble free ownership experiences. My understanding is that they are lower quality vehicles than a comparable Toyota, Mazda or Honda but have interiors that are on the nicer end. Now obviously being objective here, not absolutely every single Toyota, Mazda or Honda is flawless but generally speaking, I hear way less issues with those 3 brands than a Hyundai/Kia. And I don’t see many older Hyundais/Kias on the roads. Long term, I don’t think a Hyundai/Kia is the car to get, short term seems fine. Anything past the warranty period seems to be when they fall apart completely.
@@austin.2716 haha I think Naveen wants a BMW, I’m convinced he has a high-paying gig at Hundayi/Kia cooperate though, he def talks trash about Toyota/Lexus products for a living (Hundayi def hired him to do this and he’s making AT LEAST multiple six-figures per year)
I’m just glad he’s finally acknowledging that this looks like a Ford Flex! The G Wagon comparison was unnecessary too!
When will the PHEV coming to the US?
the rear is the best part ,it looks just like a Range Rover ,the whole look is just like the rover ,I love this more than my palisade and thinking of changing it
Don’t get the dct yet
"Car confections" ordered one & had to give it back because of transmission problems that couldn't b solved‼️
It was a software issue.
I’ve thought the same as well it those looks like a Ford Flex
Is the transmission going to blow up the first 500 miles?
Imagine if they gave this car the Sonata Nline or Elantra N launch control. Im willing to bet the lower trims which are lighter and with FWD could pull off 5.9 0-60 with good tires
really like the look of this car
Its a beautiful looking vehicle
Under recall, if bought July 2nd or earlier. Transmission issues.
Car Confections says this vehicle sucks
A Christmas tree with “H” instead of a star!
The issue I’m having with the redesigned Santa Fe is how unoriginal the styling is (Ford Flex, Land Rover Defender) and each time I see one on the road, it just looks bland. Certain colors definitely help but it already isn’t aging well. It’s already slated to be refreshed in South Korea as its sales there are being trounced by the refreshed Kia Sorento and Kia Carnival. Love the interior update though! But yeah, Hyundai may want to rethink how often and how much homage they want to pay to the past with future vehicles.
I'm seeing a lot of them in my town. It's very long shape. Very boxy.
The back doesn't bother me as much.
Too many H’s for sure. The shape is cool though.
It appears auto manufacturers want us driving station wagons. Uh, no.
For those of you are making comments about this vehicle, whether it is pretty or not. Before making your decision, you should always check the vehicle out in real life in person on the highway while in movement. Cars can look very different in photos vs standing still in the showroom vs moving on the road. This vehicle looks stunning in photos but looks awkward on the highway.
You have brought up that rear passengers can’t close the pano sunroof - in my Ford F-250, and my husband’s Mercedes you can’t either. Why are you bringing that up? Is it something you can do in other makers?
Reminiscent of a tour bus
Hyundai and Kia make good looking cars, just their reliability has never caught up to the Toyotas and Hondas.
The rear end of the vehicle looks like a VW Bus from the 90's
Terrible
19:50
I don’t know why other auto manufacturers don’t have the second row doors open up 89 degrees like the Honda crv. It’s like they purposely don’t want to do it.
Great review as usual but I don’t like this vehicle at all. Hyundai is doing too much!
