that Santa Fe is evolutionary because it's cooler and boxier, but the 3rd row standard is another big win. but despite the recalls, i'm gonna let the HYUNDAI Group do their thing. well done Hyundai
@@OriginalBernieBro Yep, me too! Got the Rockwood Green with tan interior. Calligraphy Hybrid model. I too got the 3.99 APR. Toyota and Mazda had 7% APR or higher, even with excellent credit.
A lot of people took speed for granted.. Ever since tesla released their model s plaid, it changed people's views about cars.. They don't care about other aspects anymore.. they just want two things: -tech -neck-breaking 0-60 time
Besides the overall look the interior is quite lovely considering that Ford Explorers have gone north of 60 K this is not a bad deal all things considering that you would never pay 47k MSRP on a top trim Hyundai this is a great value proposition
Actually more like a tardis, it's not that big.. I own one, and if i put it next to my wife's rav4 hybrid, it sits a little taller, is maybe 3in wider, and maybe 3in longer.. but if you park it next to a tahoe it looks tiny.. lol
I like the design get rid of the turbo and put in a nice V6 and lift it a bit more offer a real off road trim and this would sell well especially if it had a 2 door model.
NEXT TO THE CYBER TRUCK, THIS HAS TO BE BY FAR THE UGLIEST VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. AMC'S ARE NOW GORGEOUS! Get your head examined if you think this good looking.
I own one, not a huge fan of the back of it, but.. the older generation likes to see out of vehicles without the need for electronics. square vehicles are easier to see out of, easier to get into, easier to get out of, and generally have more room to load home depot run stuff into. While a tahoe would be nice, you can buy two of these, you could get.. what else? I couldn't find anything that wasn't a minivan for 45k with real leather that would fit an 8ft piece of lumber in the back with the tailgate shut..
It looks cool, but I see too many comments from owners of Hyundai/Kia that have major engine & transmission problems. Plus a couple of the professional shop channels on here do not recommend buying Hyundai or Kia vehicles. 😑
@@ytj22They’ve had some issues, which they will work through. We’ve had two and they’ve been flawless at 80k & 75k miles. They are a well designed car. People tend to exaggerate the issues while totally ignoring the major issues that the ‘quality’ leaders Honda and Toyota have had. They have a strong warranty and are reasonably priced.
@@JayBD626 quality issues have been ignored from Toyota and Honda? Have you been on the internet? Having said that, in this segment, the RAV4 has far fewer concerns than this half-hearted attempt. It's ok to accept that it isn'their best offering. And 80k miles already! That is a TON of driving!
Transmissions are fine. It was faulty control unit programming that caused the transmissions to be damaged. Recall issued for all affected units, so things should be good to go.
Ford called, they want their Flex back 😂 Incidentally, I own a 2018 Flex Limited EB. Love it! I wish they had made it long enough to have put the 10 spd in it.
It’s Cyber Truck inspired. Bland, thoughtless, child-like styling. I think Hyundai must’ve said what the heck, we’ll give it a try and see what happens. 23 mpg and 7 seconds to 60 mph sound really good for a huge hauler like this.
I’m a Hyundai/Kia hater because they used to copy their styling from the Germans and Land Rover. This thing has features that some luxury automakers don’t have, great MPG and on-road performance… What more do we really need?
I’m surprised Under Armour hasn’t sued Hyundai for the shape of their running lights. Seems more of the same Hyundai. Cover shoddy mechanical devices and poor quality with pretty decor and decent pricing.

I've seen these in person, and they really do not look that bad. Pretty cool actually. The Cyber Truck however is hideous.
the rear tail lights make me think, 90's Geo Metro. How low they are on the rear gate.
Lol, my daughters 1rst car @ 17 was a Geo Metro. That 3 cylinder dynamo was great. She was still driving it when she got her Masters!

Went to the dealership to check them out...They are very sharp in person
I have a neighbor who owns one. It's very attractive.
Me too. Test drove the Hybrid Limited edition. Very smooth ride and the interior is spacious and quite impressive! Definitely considering.
I have a green limited one financed at 3.99 apr had to jump on it for the wife.
@@OriginalBernieBro Yep, me too! Got the Rockwood Green with tan interior. Calligraphy Hybrid model. I too got the 3.99 APR. Toyota and Mazda had 7% APR or higher, even with excellent credit.
I remember when 0-60 in 7 seconds was fast!
7 seconds is plenty fast enough for sane people
Hyundai turbo motors are rated as whp not hp. My stock kona dyno’d 276 whp stock which is above 300 in hp.
I know, not that long ago that was sport compact acceleration numbers..
My wife thinks 7 seconds is way too quick.
If you know what I mean.
A lot of people took speed for granted..
Ever since tesla released their model s plaid, it changed people's views about cars..
They don't care about other aspects anymore.. they just want two things:
-tech
-neck-breaking 0-60 time
It reminds me of a Datsun from the 80's.
I love when Jon still narrates these 😀
You say it has Range Rover inspired styling but I think it is more Ford Flex inspired styling.
@@ATLOffroad not a bad thing. I liked the Flex.
Range Rover? What about Defender 110/130 with a liftgate?
La mejor y la más tecnológica de su segmento saludos desde República Dominicana 💪💪💯💯 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

My 1968 Mustang 289 V8 200HP did 0-60 in about 8 seconds. That was considered quite fast!
Like the looks but hate the taillights.
Love the hidden rear wiper… definitely Land Rover inspired.
This was so informative and well-produced.
It may look funny, but at least it’s big.

Stunning looking truck, such a simple design, elements of the new land cruiser and Range Rover.
Bro I seriously thought the thumbnail was of a brand new Ford Flex
styling reminiscent of Isuzu Axiom also
There's a rare mention.
Hyundai still can’t figure out what to do with the Santa Fe. Two row then back to three on multiple occasions now.
NEXT TO THE CYBER TRUCK, THIS HAS TO BE BY FAR THE UGLIEST VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. AMC'S ARE NOW GORGEOUS! Get your head examined if you think this good looking.

My parents have one, they got it in January
I get 40mpg in my AWD SEL all day long. Love it
psh amateur.. ;) I have seen 50mpg in my awd hybrid limited..
Will the LWB-only next-gen Tucson get the Santa Fe treatment next?
It looks cool, but I see too many comments from owners of Hyundai/Kia that have major engine & transmission problems. Plus a couple of the professional shop channels on here do not recommend buying Hyundai or Kia vehicles. 😑
"it looks cool". I don't think you've seen it from the back yet.

With Santa Fe, April to July production only. Excluded hybrid. Lazy Alabama plant workers issue
Santa fe used to look nice
How was yours?
The previous generation with the 2.5T was faster
Yes.. because it was diesel. Do you not know how engines work?
@ I’m not talking about diesel. Hyundai doesn’t sell diesel cars in the US
Ford Flex in an OtterBox.
Not bad
Did they fix the transmission yet?
Honda? I don't think so
Transmissions are fine. It was faulty control unit programming that caused the transmissions to be damaged. Recall issued for all affected units, so things should be good to go.
No issues with the hybrid version.
Can we PLEASE stop with the “twist” gear shifters 😢😢😢
With the majority of cars being crossover/suvs nowadays, having the taillights that low is risky.
That is minimized by the requirement of a high mounted center stop light for the last several decades.
Looks like the Ford Flex !
Ford called, they want their Flex back 😂 Incidentally, I own a 2018 Flex Limited EB. Love it! I wish they had made it long enough to have put the 10 spd in it.
Yeah, a white steering wheel. That won’t get dirty and discolored rapidly.
Compared with BMW X5, Audi Q7, Mercedes GLE, Tesla Model X, Toyota Crown Signia, Nissan Murano, Honda Passport & Others Midsize SUV
Skip all the other trims and get the Hybrid.
Weight: almost 6000 pounds.
Engine: turbo-charged 4-banger
Clutch: DUAL-clutch
Anyone can be an engineer nowadays.
The front looks amazing but the rear end 😅
NO SKID PLATES
Skid plate is available as a port installed option
It looks like a Ford Flex to me. 8 spd dual clutch transmission is a deal breaker, give me a conventional automatic please.
Geo metro rules

How anybody could think this is good looking! I'm with the person who said Gremlins and Pacers are prettier.
This vehicle has the UGLIEST rear end of any car in recent history!
This SUV is the best new year's gift ever 🎆
My son in law loves his new Santa Fe.
@@victorstewart-ro6gc But do you buy it?
The rear is hideous

I like the way it looks. Don't like for cylinder
Too bad Hyundai and Kia have priced their vehicles into luxury range.
Recall on the Hybrid no? Motorweek does not mention those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s one ugly car
The rear lights is a downer.
Eco smart materials = Naugahyde + low rent plastic
I’m surprised Under Armour hasn’t sued Hyundai for the shape of their running lights. Seems more of the same Hyundai. Cover shoddy mechanical devices and poor quality with pretty decor and decent pricing.
I wonder if Hyundai will start selling jockstraps
since Under Armour doesn't want to anymore.
That’s just nuts.😁
hi from Japan :) Our cars #1 super perfect only. We no engine fire transmission recalls.

Hopefully the paint will stick to this body unlike the last generation Sante fe 😂😂😂

That is so ugly
The DCT has ALREADY proven itself to be VERY PROBLEMATIC !!
The back looks terrible. It was clearly close to quittin' time.
It's ugly too boxy
A bigger sized Honda Element? Sorry, no thumbs up for that Volvo wanna bee.
God, the rear end of these things looks awful.
Ripped off Land Rover for looks.

Don’t be fooled it is trash!

Pretty bold from a guy whose countries Honda's are getting recalled again. You really need to get new material
