Totally agree it is not an offroad SUV but I will say its a good (bang for the buck) SUV that is good sized with lots of interior room and looks nice for its price. Not many 3 row SUV's for around $45k out there. Thankyou Joe and Steven, great job on the review as always !
My 24 XRT is in the shop with a broken transmission!! There is a new open recall. The transmission wants to shift into park while driving. Be aware y’all!!
Bought one and I love mine. Transmission even works still! Checking that website everyday to see if my vin is part of the recall they just announced a few days ago 😂
I have the same engine and transmission in my 3 year old Hyundai. It shifts extremely smoothly. I haven’t had an issue yet but I am going to add an extended warranty.
Me and the wife just bought one, we absolutely love it. Rides good, looks good, and feels good. S/o to the car guy prolly one of the funniest car reviews I’ve seen 🤣
The Santa Fe is one of the best new car deals going, under $50k A loaded Calligraphy is $46,500, with Nappa Leather, Ambient Lighting and HUD The average new car price is over $48k, so a loaded 3-row Santa Fe is great value
Turn signals so low is really annoying. Not only are they harder to see, it's easy to block them as soon as you want to carry anything behind the vehicle like a bike rack.
@ellishoke1693 yeah.. The Santa Fe does not look like the piot or a thousand other cookie cutter CUVs! I love a SUV that goes back to the way SUVs used to look like!
@@petersitro6798 the Santa Fe was never supposed to carry a completely different design out of nowhere, it’s not a selling point because we have like 50 where I work, they’re loosing buyers and they look capable when they absolutely are not, they’ve already recalled the transmission so you decide 😂😂😂 just get an older suv then
The signal below, I'm not a fan either. I believe it's a safety issue. Especially when driving on foggy days or during a dust storm, in my opinion, the driver behind you won't be able to see your lights, especially while breaking.
Hello Joe, I have a couple of questions for you. Let's say if my mom was going to get a minivan, from Honda, Toyota or Kia. Because she likes the Kia Carnival. Which van is it better for Mom? My second & final question for you is: how reliable is the Kia Carnival? I'm a viewer from Escondido California & Everytime you show the Kia Carnival or other vehicles I show it to Mom.
Both seem excellent, and each has its pros and cons. For me, though, the Pilot looks a little better and looks like more of something I can see myself driving.
I like the front end of the new Santa Fe , but don't like the rear , the tail lights are way to low , especially the turn signals. Also the rear lights look like dog bones when the brakes are applied. I know there suppose to look like the letter "H" like the front lights , but there lower and wider whick make them look more like a dogs bone.
@darkivaz-aaa1145 Ha, I have still have an old Subaru, so I really do not qualify as a fanboy, slight rush to judgment. His hate for the boxer is epic.
Joe!...Mr Raiti. You are hands down my favourite vehicle reviewer. You bring the magic, the canolis, the most fun and erudite reviews. But, my God!!! That is an abomination to the world of vehicular design. I saw one in the metal today. I was repulsed by its design. Its an overpriced box with wheels. This is as bad as the "Homer" from the Simpson's. As powerful as a gorilla? Nope. As graceful as ballerina? Nay. What the H E double hockey sticks is Hyundai doing? The Elantra looks like an origami in metal. I'll take a gorgeous Mazda CX 70 please!
Im not sure how ppl say this looks like a defender. This thing looks horrible. Like some kid put some aluminum sheets together and just put a badge saying its an off-roader
That is one ugly looking vehicle right there. Looks like Ford Edge and Defender got so drunk on Bourbon St, New Orleans that they had a quicky and popped out a santa fe.
Nope, can’t get past that back end. Zonk to me. Me too Joe, 80’s on all the time. You said the same thing about the lighter headliner in the Pathfinder that I drive. It’s much better than black! It keeps it lighter and more open feeling. 😂
Without front facing camera you can't see the offroad angles. Should not call this "off road " if you take it away with this model. Makes no sense. And no scid plates? Maybe call it lightly dirt road suv
Nah it's definitely far from ugly. I still prefer my telluride but Honda is boring. Nobody is gonna look at a pilot and be like "wow that's kinda nice" 😂😂😂😂
It is a sharp looking SUV many will buy just because it will make easy work of the deep puddles in the parking lot with poor drainage at the super market. Online grocery shoppers who order 500 dollars of stuff from Walmart then sit in their car while the stupid kid loads all their garbage up in a torrential downpour. Hyundai and Kia are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get. Thats all I have to say about that.
I’m sorry Joe but the entire vehicle is a total zonk. Box vehicles looks super ugly these days and the tail lamps in the back is so hideous that it reminds me of the geo metro hatchback from the 90s. Hyundai really messed it up for sure.
Fun Fact: The Honda Pilot is about 10 inches longer than this Santa Fe, being the next class up, but the Santa Fe has more total legroom than the Pilot

The best part of your channel is that you cover ALL the trim levels instead of just the highest end trim

I appreciate this channel doing many different trims and not the default "top of the line" trim most of us can't afford!!
I really like the color of this Santa Fe Joe!

I love the new style of this new santa fe 😍 This is so rare cuz normally i hate new cars .I love the boxy design makes it stunning ❤
Neighbor bought one about a month ago and she loves it. Great review as usual Joe.

Just ordered my XRT, Orange Terra Cota
It is gorgeous. 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Santa Fe hybrid is 👌
Me and the wife just bought one, we absolutely love it. Rides good, looks good, and feels good. S/o to the car guy prolly one of the funniest car reviews I’ve seen 🤣
Bronze copper color,I have never seen in KR. Thanks a lot for your enthusiastic comments.
You always pick the coolest colors. Flat Bronze paint? You won't be seeing that every day.
Great review, by the way.
I hot this 50, 850 OTD Platinum. Use me for ref👍👍
It’s nice vehicle for the money! Great review Joe
Yes of course & I can't wait to buy this myself.
The headlights looks great..that’s about it…
Oh that paint too
That matte bronze is bangin'
Yo mommas azz is bangin
THATS ME!
That color scheme is wonderful.
Hey, Joe i Don't know a lot this particular brand, however i LOVE THE COLOR, MY FRIEND.😊😊😊.
The Santa Fe is one of the best new car deals going, under $50k
A loaded Calligraphy is $46,500, with Nappa Leather, Ambient Lighting and HUD
The average new car price is over $48k, so a loaded 3-row Santa Fe is great value
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
If they just fix the tail lights this would be the nicest midsize SUV on the market IMO
even with palisade and telluride i’d still go with pilot, can’t beat that J35 V6.
Ram TRX final edition review??
Would love to see that on throttle action Joe, one last time!
Amazing review Joe.
Thanks brother!
@@RaitisRidesYou're welcome Joe.
I love it. It's totally different. But, I wish it had the fog lights, tow hooks skid plate. But, other than that, I will consider buying it.
Hey Joe your OCD kicked in when you saw. Plastic on them head rests.😂
Could you go and test the four-wheel drive system features (Off-Road...) as well?.
The colour 🔥
I'll always prefer a naturally aspirated V6, but this is a good offering from Hyundai.
The cutouts in the C pillars are grab handles, not attachments for boxes/accessories.
Turn signals so low is really annoying. Not only are they harder to see, it's easy to block them as soon as you want to carry anything behind the vehicle like a bike rack.
The turn signal is actually in the H lights in the back. It's splits when the hatch is open for regulations.
Anything is better than a Honda pilot.
Idk, at least a Honda pilot doesn’t look like a lifted Ford Flex
@@ellishoke1693 😂😂
I would take the engine from the Pilot but body from the Santa Fe.
@ellishoke1693 yeah.. The Santa Fe does not look like the piot or a thousand other cookie cutter CUVs! I love a SUV that goes back to the way SUVs used to look like!

Nice review.
Oh no I was so disappointed.I thought that the inside would be brown. Donut. That would have been really nice if they did a light brown Inside
It’s on other trims I believe..
There is a version with pecan brown inside
The signal below, I'm not a fan either. I believe it's a safety issue. Especially when driving on foggy days or during a dust storm, in my opinion, the driver behind you won't be able to see your lights, especially while breaking.

I agree! Hyundai is making some weird looking vehicles.
@@DarceyMclain Yeah but which one is better?
Very nice I like it
Low turning signal is indeed always a zonk
It's dangerous
Joe with the Balls in your mouth joke lmao 😂😂😂
PAUSE
Both seem excellent, and each has its pros and cons. For me, though, the Pilot looks a little better and looks like more of something I can see myself driving.
Yeah I know that feeling for sure!
How I cant find a single comment about the cheese balls in your mouth is mind blowing 😂😂😂 my man is hilarious
Thanks for letting me bring some laughs and SUVs in to your life!
Oh Just wait until you discover the kidz bop station 😂
I really want to like this car but I cannot get over the hideous back end.
If you buy the vehicle you almost never see the backend unless your loading stuff in it.
I am not a fan of the missing rear bumper, your rear lift gate IS the bumper :(
The hideous back, I think, is not bad. It kinda looks like the back of a range rover.
Nice .. that it is off road but they should make a 4 wheel drive..!
Yeah that would be a smart choice!
Yes 👍
Dumb question Joe. You already know the answer when it comes to Hyundai.
Nice but I’d still take the pilot
Without question.
Love this Santa Fe but you know, Honda is Honda.
Easily the best looking rear and tail lights
I like the front end of the new Santa Fe , but don't like the rear , the tail lights are way to low , especially the turn signals. Also the rear lights look like dog bones when the brakes are applied. I know there suppose to look like the letter "H" like the front lights , but there lower and wider whick make them look more like a dogs bone.
Hmm a Honda vs a Hyundai, is that meant to be a joke. What would Scotty say.
another scotty kilmer's fanboy. Typical
@@darkivaz-aaa1145But he’s right. Honda doesn’t leave their costumers with recalls that that can’t keep up with.
@@waterloo123100 just boring vehicles.

Anyone knows if this car has good speakers?
Hi raiti!
Hey brother!
I’ll put this on the ugly list with the cybertruck!
Im not sure how ppl say this looks like a defender. This thing looks horrible. Like some kid put some aluminum sheets together and just put a badge saying its an off-roader
Oh you mean like the Cybertruck?
That is one ugly looking vehicle right there. Looks like Ford Edge and Defender got so drunk on Bourbon St, New Orleans that they had a quicky and popped out a santa fe.
It looks like it would cost more than it does. A good thing.
on videos its looks great , in person no thanks its too small
Looks like a weird Land Rover Defender. Gonna pass on this one.
Cannot go wrong with a peanut butter strawberry jelly apple butter sandwich Joe love what Hyundai is doing
Interesting vehicle
I like the new Flex
the back end is surprisingly ugly. plus: devaluation rate on Hyundai/Kia models is still a problem for some consumers.
It gives me 90's minivan vibes. The rear end is atrocious 😵
It looks like a Ford Flex 🤨.
You're right, Joe. If Tik Tok is your cultural pinnacle, you need serious help.
Nope, can’t get past that back end. Zonk to me. Me too Joe, 80’s on all the time. You said the same thing about the lighter headliner in the Pathfinder that I drive. It’s much better than black! It keeps it lighter and more open feeling. 😂
Great minds think alike!
A rattlesnake belt with the Hyundai logo belt buckle 😮

I totally agree with you!
Great color, but the headlights and tail lights are big zonks. The interior is good too
The break lights look like dog bones
I never noticed that at all.
The mpg on this car is terrible. My trip was 40 miles but in reality I used 67 miles. Tbh I’m a life long sedan owner finally switched to suv lol
You cant use cruise control if you're wearing sunglasses.

2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT HTRAC AWD 3-Row!
I’m going Honda on this one. You get a bulletproof J35 V6 and look way better. This generation Santa Fe is ugly
Nah it's definitely far from ugly. I still prefer my telluride but Honda is boring. Nobody is gonna look at a pilot and be like "wow that's kinda nice" 😂😂😂😂
My Mama always told me it 's what's inside that counts , which is good because the outside is Fugly with a capital F ....
Hyundai Kia are the new Toyota Honda
Pilot has more stuff but is $8500.00 more than the Santa Fe. plus shipping and NO dealer discounts. HMM?
It is a sharp looking SUV many will buy just because it will make easy work of the deep puddles in the parking lot with poor drainage at the super market. Online grocery shoppers who order 500 dollars of stuff from Walmart then sit in their car while the stupid kid loads all their garbage up in a torrential downpour. Hyundai and Kia are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get. Thats all I have to say about that.
99.99% chance anybody who buys this would be better off with a minivan.
Only HUMMER can make H’s out of their lights…
Honda pilot is better than the junk believe or not
I’m sorry Joe but the entire vehicle is a total zonk. Box vehicles looks super ugly these days and the tail lamps in the back is so hideous that it reminds me of the geo metro hatchback from the 90s. Hyundai really messed it up for sure.
Unfortunately Hyundai gives me an uneasy feeling about purchasing. Had a couple over past years and it just gives me a "not quite good enough feeling"
Calligraphy for me, but not hybrid.
I appreciate you mentioning which one you would go with!
no full size spare... definitely a mall crawler
Nice
Fun Fact: The Honda Pilot is about 10 inches longer than this Santa Fe, being the next class up, but the Santa Fe has more total legroom than the Pilot
That is nuts! Thanks for sharing that great fun fact!
This new Santa Fe is so hideous...
Funny commentary on this one😅
One exhaust tip always a ZONK in my book. Unbalanced!
That paint color is really wasted on such an ugly vehicle, imo.
why is bro trying to be sus in this very paticular vid 🤨💀
Nah cuz it’s uglier than a PT Cruiser
go to the eye doc
