Yesterday i test drove a Tuscon Hybrid, Santa Fe Hybrid, and Rav4 hybrid. I prefer the look and resale value of the Rav4 but that's it. After driving the hyundais I really dont know why anyone would buy a Rav4. The hyundais, Tuscon especially, are so much better. It's not even close.
We are on our 4th Santa Fe right now and will probably buy the Hybrid Santa Fe next year. These have been fantastic vehicles for us. There has also been a Sonata and Tucson along the way. We have owned Hondas, Toyotas, Jeeps and Mitsubishis in the past and are very, very pleased with the quality, comfort and longevity of our Hyundais!
Hey Kevin is your Hyundai Santa Fe reliable and how’s the resale value.. I’m a bit hesitant to buy Hyundai due to story people say about poor reliability and the car depreciate a lot after 4-5 yrs. Please let me know.
@@slyder3450 Our Sanat Fes have been awesome in reliability. [So have 2 Tucsons]. All of them went to family after we would get new ones and they have all gotten 200,000+ miles. So since they weren't traded in, I can't really speak to the depreciation, but our family is always lined up to get our vehicles whenever we are getting rid of them. All have been extremely comfortable too for adults in the back seat for long trips.
We bought the Santa Fe hybrid a month ago and we just love it , we test drove the Toyota rav 4 plug in model and wasn’t impressed interior was very plasticky and uncomfortable although it did have more power the Hyundai is way more comfortable with more features
I own a 2021 Santa Fe hybrid for a month now and absolutely love it. Wow.
So far it’s been amazing and I get an average of 6.1/100km unlike what you quoted 7.5.
Hey I’m in the market to buy one. I was wondering, how is the quality of the car since I see that you mentioned you’ve had it for a while now
I want to thank you for staying firm on the question of long term reliability of these turboed hybrids. I’ve noticed in previous videos that people got frustrated with you because they don’t believe the newest Hyundai Kia products should be docked for that since all they want to hear are positives. Don’t let anyone influence you from making honest reviews. It will pay dividends down the road
Thank you! I hope so!
I will wait for the plugin version. Hyundai Santa Fe is a good and reliable car as i had an older one 2006 model
My fith new Hyundai. Love them. Just bought the 3.5 v6 petrol Highlander. A great vechile.
I have been in the market for a new vehicle for about 6 months now. I started looking at the Highlander hybrid, but the cost was way beyond what we wanted to pay. Looked at the Rav4 and Prime, but the cargo area was too small, the ride was too hard, felt every bump I the road. Seats were were cramped feeling. Looked at the Venza, more expensive than the Rav4 no real tech to speak of. Then I looked at the 2022 Sante Fe, Limited AWD. a much nicer ride feel, comfortable and plenty of room for all our stuff we carry on trips. This will be my next purchase after 25 years of only Toyota.
You won't be disappointed. I've owned Hondas, Toyotas, and a BMW. In 2017, I traded in a 2004 4Runner and 2007 Sienna for a 2016 Sonata hybrid and a 2018 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T SEL with leather/power seats and haven't looked back. In fact, in 2020, I turned the Sonata over to my son when he got his license and picked up a 2017 Santa Fe Sport 2.0T Ultimate. Now, within the next few months, our daughter will be getting her license and I'll turn the Ultimate over to her and pick up a new Santa Fe Hybrid Limited or Calligraphy.
Value for the dollar is unbeatable.
People say you get $4,000 or $5,000 more in resale with a Toyota but you are paying that much more up front anyway, so the net net is zero.
I've been taking my 80+ yr. old mother out shopping for a new car. After looking at the usual sedans like Toyota Camry, used Avalon and others, I noticed that she was having to climb in and out of the lowing riding sedans. I suggested she try sitting in a SUV. She was easily able to get in and out of the SUV. After taking her to drive the Toyota Rav 4, and KIA Sportage, Honda CRV and HRV, she finally set her sights on the Hyundai Tuscon and Santa Fe. The Santa Fe was mush more roomy and less complicated for her to drive. She especially like the simplicity of the control console with buttons for climate control and the like. Then we drove the Sant Fe Hybrid and the quiet ride has her convinced that this was her pick to buy. Top that with the excellent gas mileage that the hybrid offers, it was a no brainer. She loves her Santa Fe hybrid.
Although Shari showed it, I think a better comparison would be with the Toyota Venza. It's more upscale than the RAV4, feels a bit more spacious (except for the hatch area). Plus MPG is also excellent. Just did a road trip, around 800 km, through the mountains in British Columbia and averaged 6.1 l/100km. Pretty incredible considering how mountainous the drive was. But I will say I really like the interior of the Sante Fe Hybrid. Beautiful. In the end, we went with Toyota reliability in choosing the Venza.
I am facing the same choice, and it is a tough one. Toyota reliability and solid engineering is hard to overcome in the decision process. I own a 2016 Hyundai Tucson Eco, and it has met or exceeded my expectations. Great mileage (30-31🥪mpg hiway and city avg). I am a fan of Hyundai. But I am a senior and would like this to be my last car. I am also considering a Toyota 4runner. I may even consider a used 4runner with up to 120,000 miles on it.
My 2022 Santa Fe Plug In Hybrid gets 75 miles per gallon. Its huge cabin is luxuriously finished and so very comfortable.. Its about one third less money than the equivalent Audi. Whats not to love ??
I just brought the 2022 fully loaded and love it, plus they gave me 20/200,000 warranty. Unbeatable in my book.
How did you get them to give you a 20/200,000 warranty?
Nice. I'll be buying one in the next couple of months. My dealer, from whom I've purchased two Hyundais already, offers a lifetime warranty. I tend to keep my cars for 12 to 14 years, so the longer warranties are always a plus in my book.
@@tcdckc its not by Hyundai, its an aftermarket, dealer sold worthless piece of paper.
Ordered this vehicle October 2021. Took delivery December 20. After 2k driving hybrid system failed. Returned to dealer feb 1. Took til April 8 to get car back. Running fine now. Fingers crossed!!
Just leased a 2023 Santa fe hybrid limited last week. So far I am very happy with it. The interior is upscale with a ton of features. I had an order placed for a 2023 Escape platinum hybrid but it doesnt make much sense to pay the same price for that as i did for the santa fe. Fords interiors dont come close to sniffing the sante fes
Hi Shari.Any ideas when are you testing the Santa fe PHEV?
Bought one yesterday. In love.
Thank you for the video. What is the difference of Plug-In Hybrid and regular Hybrid? Does Plug-In require to charge the battery electrically? Is the regular Hybrid runs only with gas pumping?
The regular hybrid does not require any plug or charging. The electric motor and gas engine run together and the battery is charged while driving. A plug-in hybrid has a much larger battery and can run only on electricity for 30-40 miles before the gas engine turns on. It does need to be plugged in and charged, otherwise it will run like the regular hybrid.
We bought a Santa Fe hybrid… at the 7 month mark with 8k miles on it, started having problems. When turning left or right and then straightening out at slow speeds there is a loud ticking sound for 3-5 seconds. Dealer acknowledges the problem but can’t seem to find the issue… more appointments are coming up but good to see if others are having this problem.
I've never had a problem with any of my three Hyundais but I did have a problem similar to the one you describe with a Chevy truck. It turned out to be a CV joint and bearing, but I would think the dealer would be able to identify that pretty quickly.
Thank you so much for information
First of all, love all your videos - thanks for sharing them.
Secondly, can you please cover the following topics in future videos.
Process to import a Car from Canada to the US and its implications.
I am looking to buy a compact sedan ( Mazda 3 or Civic 2022) in Canada but will be moving to the US next year. How long will I will stay depends on visa status (hopefully 3+ years)
As such, should I buy a used car and sell it on departure?
Buy a new car ( my preference due to safety features in a new car) and take it to the US? Or sell it at departure and buy a similar one in the US?
Are there 1 year leases available for new cars?
Warranty coverage of car manufacturers across North America. For e.g I have heard Mazda extends Canadian 3 year warranty to US and Honda doesn't. Does it make a difference when moving from Canada to the US or is that not a big deal?
Active safety feature comparison across brands i.e Honda Sensing VS Toyota Sense 2 vs Mazda i-ActiveSense vs Hyndai. Is there one better than the other? Which brand car to choose if active safety features are a top priority as a new driver.
Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
I would love to hear your thoughts on the new Santa Cruz. I just got mine last month I love but yes it does have the turbo and wet DCT. I know I hope 🤞 it will last very long time. I do maintenance early tho. I planing to keep it for a long time.
toyota rav4 is more in sales COZ 70% are used for commercial and 30 % for mileage and for long time. santa fe hybrid has little less on mileage but it hag more luxury which you will not hate, about the record- santa fe came really fast to challenge with rav4. i will choose santafe coz it has both milage and luxury feel
Saw the vid of 2022 santafe hybrid released in KR but it has a black front grille 🤔 is that be same for US too?
I have a st fe for 14 years and NEVER EVER EVER EVER had a mechanical problem. Just saying
Yes. Hyundai has come a long way in recent years. We're on our 3rd Sonata and will continue to advocate for the brand. They tells reliable, feature packed vehicles with solid warranties
We're thinking about upgrading to a Santa Fe bcuz we need more versatility in our next vehicle and the Santa Fe is at the top of our list
Can you review the Subaru Crosstrek 2018-2021, and possibly the 2021 plugin hybrid if possible. Thank you!😊
Bro, I like your videos!
Crazy time to buy a car with high additional premium …
Quick and straight to the point 🤩🤩👏👏👏❤️🌹👌🏽🍾🎉
I bought the 2021 Santa Fe Hybrid and I love it 😀
I love my Santa Fe hybrid too.
One of the best car I’ve owned.
Nice one Shari, would you be interested in making a review of entry-level German sedans like the 330i, c300, and a4. Or maybe their coupe versions or high-performance versions (340 vs c43 vs s4)?
I am personally interested in buying the c43 coupe/440i/s5, hahahah
I'd love to do that if I can get my hands on all three together. I suspect the M340i/M440i would win. I drove the new M440i last month and was really impressed.
@@carhelpcorner Wow, I personally prefer the M440 as well, but I thought the exhaust sound of the current-gen c43 is better. Let's see about the new-gen!
Just got the 2022 santa fe hybrid 1.6 non turbo
Agree with those comparing SF with Venza, RAV is much smaller and ...has a cheaper feeling. Venza uses leatherette, better MPG by 7! because it`s lighter(??) , much smaller boot, and 3 years warranty? -(
We had this out for a test drive on our local roads for about an hour and fell in love with it. It was the most solid, softest riding and quietest SUV we've been in in a long time. We average 5.1 L per 100 km. Pretty sure we are ordering the PHEV.
I am searching for PHEV for months now in any economical model (Hyundai, Toyo, Mitsu etc) cannot find anything these days in the Midwest. All dealers say it may take another 6-12 months before they will get any stock
Looks sooo cool!
Toyota still makes the best hybrid in the industry being the most durable and reliable. Toyota has been doing hybrid longer and has the most investment in it
I am considering to buy Santa Fe or Honda CR-V. Please provide some help which should I go for. Carhelp, appreciate if you can provide a comparison of these two popular SUVs
Thank you
Hey im in the same boat…figuring out between crv, santa fe and kia sportage hybrids
Same here. I’m debating and worry about the Hyundai reliability engine failure and resale value. However , they do have the 10yrs/100k miles. Any thought from Santa Fe or Hyundai owners experience?
Can you get the hybrid Santa Fe with AWD?
Yes
Yes.
They all are AWD. Santa Fe and Tucson Hybrids
Me encantaría comprar híbrida., pero no puedo. Es maravillosa
Nice review/We subscribed;)
Im patiently waiting for the Mazda hybrid that will use the Toyota hybrid system, as well as the totally ev Fisker Ocean
With the "push button parking brake", what is the plan to get the car to stop if the main brakes become inoperable say during a rolling vehicle fire. This has happened, and that driver perished in the fire.
You can pull up the parking brake button and hold it up as long as needed
Would like to buy one but none in inventory!
a crazy question perhaps, but is there a sunglass holder in the center roof console?
No
Yes there is
@@danfoss1535 One says "yes" one says "no" so maybe it's trim-level specific? Which trim do you have?
@@jaimecanuck9572 One says "yes" one says "no" so maybe it's trim-level specific? Which trim do you have?
Hi Shari. Nice video but I don’t understand why you keep comparing the Santa Fe to RAV4??? Doesn’t make any sense.
The Santa Fe is the same size or larger than the Toyota Venza.
So you should compare it to the Venza or Highlander.
Now here is the thing:
I own the 2021 Santa Fe Hybrid and I think it’s the best suv hybrid in the world.
If you compare the fuel economy that I get (which is 5.9L/100km on average for city and hwy) it blows any Toyota Suv out of the water, even the RAV4 doesn’t get a 1000 kilometres on the tank like I do.
Compare apples to apples my friend!
100% right. My neighbour has the new Venza and he only gets 600 km on one tank which is not even close to our Santa Fe Hybrid. So it blows the venza out of the water too. Ford Escape hybrid has the best fuel economy from what I’m told!
The Rav4 hybrid has a much smaller fuel tank at 55L compared to the 67L tank on the sante fe so you can't really compare the fuel economy straight km to km. The Rav4 is rated to get around 950 km on its 55L tank.
@@twobabyboyz What? Fuel economy has nothing to do with the size of the fuel tank
@@JonMoralesLA it is absolutely a factor at play. The km are more expensive on a vehicle that takes 67 liters to fill compared to one that takes 55. So if you get 500 km on each vehicle the smaller tank is the more fuel efficient vehicle.
@@twobabyboyz The size of fuel tank only tells you how much fuel a vehicle can hold but nothing about fuel economy. The fuel economy would remain the same wether or not you had a 67 L tank vs a 55 L tank. Sure you can go further with more fuel at any given fuel efficiency, but the size of the fuel tank DOES NOT change or determine the fuel economy. What the fuel tank would directly effect is a vehicles maximum range per tank of fuel...but NOT the fuel economy. One should not factor in maximum range per tank in determining Fuel economy.
Example: Vehicle A has fuel economy of 32 MPG with 5 Gallon tank. Vehicle B fuel economy of 32MPG with 10 Gallon tank. I can use the fuel efficiency multiplied by the tank size to get the maximum range per tank but as you can see the fuel efficiency/fuel economy is the same with both vehicles while the maximum range per tank is different.
i would buy 2023 Santa Fe Plug in Hybrid
Santa Fe's use hardened aluminum cylinder bores compared to Toyota's steel sleeved cylinders. Reliability is not as good.
It doesn't compete with RAV4 but ok...
Santa Fe over RAV4 anytime! I have driven both and Santa Fe os far more civilized than RAV!
You really confused with review… sometime you said Toyota R/4 hybrid is good in long term… but you should consider SUV hybrid as Hyundai!! What mixed review … we can’t keep happy everyone.
What do you think about the Santafe phev model? Is it worth the huge price tag? Is it powerful enough to drive over a long road trip over challenging terrains? Are the rare wheels are always powered by gas when it goes to htack mode 4wd?
I will be testing one soon so stay tuned!
@@carhelpcorner Thanks. I really like to know if these phev s give you enough savings to the extra price you pay. You buy a very complex vehicle when you singn for a phev compared to a straight gasoline engine. Appreciate your wonderful reviews.
@@nuwanhettiarachchi3023 simply calculate the cost of gas per year… cca $2k and the price increase of the phev + electricity. I would say 6yrs is the ROI at least.
Interior and exterior Santa Fe is leading all the way againts RAV4….they are not in the same category anyway….
This video could have been 2 minutes long and conveyed the same information. I got the impression that this person just repeated the same thing just to make the video longer.
The Toyota rav 4 is a compact suv the santa fe is a mid size
Muy pronto me entregan mi guagua Santa Fe, que sea blanca, DIOS nos bendiga siempre
Limited dark exterior and interior colors for the hybrid. 😑
The RAV4 has one huge advantage over the Santa Fe (or any Hyundai or Kia for that matter); it won't catch fire while parked in your driveway!
My sister in law recently bought a used 2008 Honda Odyssey and it did catch fire in the driveway last month.
Scary, and I'm sure it can happen to any vehicle of any make on occasion. But this Hyundai/Kia issue has been ongoing for 10+ model years across almost their entire line-up with hundreds of thousands of cars recalled. The worrying thing is, they still don't seem to have figured out a solution. It's a shame, because they otherwise are good cars and definitely give you a lot of car/features for the money.
My Santa Fe has been the worst car and biggest lemon that I’ve ever bought, Hyundai never again. I’m constantly replacing defective/bad parts. Had to do a complete rebuild of the motor at 100,000. Do your research Hyundai has class action lawsuits for their faulty engines. Theta 2 engines.
What year is it?
Which year?
Yeah what year for context?

Model ini gak lounching2 di indonesia parah bgt hyundai indonesia untung banyak terus bisanya fitur2 yg di sunatin banyak bgt sama hyundai indonesia parah kalah sama mazda jauhlah fitur2nya kalah komplit

@@pinakmiku4999 Quality.
Agreed. Crap quality. Poor service.
@@billyrock8305 That's the single stupidest statement, Hyundai is as good as Toyota you're drunk.
Hyundai quality has been excellent the last 12 years. People I spoke to are very happy with them.
We love our Santa fe hybrid
Hyundai, the low end poor mans brand of automobile.
Like the model T
