@@WatchJRGo I think you should re-watch the video and blur that part where you can see the address of your house on the car navigation! Just for safety reasons !
JR, you got it right. Hyundai nailed this car. We bought one. Took it on a 3,000 mile road trip for summer vacation. Loved it so much, when we got home we bought a second one. Love your channel too. BTW, the comments others have made about the tail lights not being visible is ridiculous. In order to not see them, the trailing car needs to be within about 4 feet of the Santa Fe. No one should be driving that close to you and if they are, they are hitting you whether or not they see your brake lights.
I have a 2022 Sante fe and got it brand new . Lots of road-trips from NC to Florida even to Missouri . No problems! Now Two kids later looking to upgrade this is very affordable from other 7 seaters. Nice video lots of details.
Sheesh. A lot of a Hyundai haters in the comment section here. I've owned my 2019 Tucson for almost 5 years now, bought it at 36k miles and have had one issue with the motor which was covered by the dealer. Other than that, its been a tank. I plan to get the XRT version of the Santa Fe soon and i love what they did with the styling. Every who is bitching about the transmission should realize they get one of the best warrantys with hyundai/kia so you shouldn't be too worried anyways. Every new car has some sort of issue lmao.
This new Santa Fe is nice. My 2018 Kia StingerGT1 AWD had the SmartSense package, and when cruise and SmartSense was on the Stinger would keep up with traffic and steer itself in the lanes, it was flawless. It’s good to see they brought SmartSense over to the new Santa Fe!
Just Traded in my 22 for a 24 base model se and even in base form the amount of standard features is impressive and the 2.5 turbo is so much more fun to drive than the old na one
Wow, that Santa Fe is nice!!!!! $49k seems like a decent price for what you get and I love the color. There are some concerns that I have about Hyundais and Kias though. It seems like they depreciate REALLY fast and it seems they have had a lot of engine failure issues. I really do love the design of this thing though. If your sister ends up buying it, I hope she enjoys it.
Alrighty then....DON'T let it happen AGAIN! LOL Seriously...cool car review. Let us know if you made a sale or not....course with 2 kids coming tomorrow....you might need to make the sale to yourself. HA!
for a while there it did but they finally got things sorted with it. more or less lol. Not like chevy, ford, or mopar are any better. new cars in general are sh!t. just gotta do your research and figure out what kinda sh!t you wanna deal with.
My wife's 2014 Santa Fe Sport has 96,000 miles on it, gets regular (every 5,000 miles) oil changes, is quite quick and gets avg 27 mpg with the GDI 2.0 Turbo. I find it a bit cramped, but then again, I'm 6'4" and 285lbs. Perfect for her.
That data shutoff on the USB is quietly huge... when the passenger in my car tries to charge their phone it takes over media instead of the wireless android auto... believe that would fix issues like that.
Your sister is awesome haha! With the 15,000 gizmos what could go wrong lol. I’ll take bets 50% of them are off the road in 10 years because everything will fail or outdate but cool technology
Currently leasing our third Hyundai Tucson. The 2022 engine blew at 20,000 miles while we were on vacation in Pennsylvania. Called the Hyundai road service number on the drivers side window & they picked up the car 45 minutes later & took it to the closest Hyundai Dealer, Frysinger Hyundai, in Mechanicsburg, Pa. Hyundai furnished us a rental car from Enterprise to drive back home to Indiana. Frysinger updated us regularly & installed the new engine. Hyundai made arrangements to ship our car to the dealer we got it from. We picked it up & turned the rental car back to Enterprise in our town. While I can say it was an experience I don't want to go through again, I thank Hyundai for doing everything possible to make us whole again. Next lease we will definitely consider the redesigned Sante Fe,
I just checked Hyundai's website and the base model comes standard with the 2.5 turbo and 8-speed which is impressive for only $34K. My hesitation would be it's a Hyundai given their spotty reliability history.
@@Mouthy_Trucker Lol you'll need it. Good luck getting them to honor it, they look for any reason to deny claims. Ask your service dept about how long it will take to get a new engine/trans in.
@@Mouthy_Truckeras someone who had to use this warranty many times, then they even extended it to 150k because the car was so shitty class action lawsuits were looming. Have fun, it takes absolutely forever and they won't provide a loaner. Then after the third motor and second tranny they just stopped approving the warranty claims even though it was clearly still in warranty. I'm somewhat convinced the morons in the Hyundai service department are the reason the tranny kept going.
An amazing transformation from what Hyundai was, to what they are now. When I was a kid, I had a 96 Hyundai because it was all I could afford. Now, this marquee is becoming synonymous with some of their Japanese rivals. Incredible. That said, how did the "H's" in the light clusters pass the "Is it too cheesy?" in marketing! 😆
We are actually looking at trading our 2020 Kia Sorento in and thought I knew what we wanted lol and you completely changed everything! Which is a good thing! Omg this is an incredible deal for the money! I've been driving a Ford Edge Titanium and it's the same price as this Hyundai and not even close to the same options! Looks like you can do a 15,000 mi 48 month lease for $500 a month 0 down ....which is an incredible deal also! I can't wait to drive one now! Thank you!
Having driven the 2022 Santa Fe, there are some features from that in this new Santa Fe like the adaptive cruise and the 8 speed automatic. Hyundai had a push button transmission in that model and it was not intuitive at all. Definitely happy that JR would do a review/overview of the vehicle.
Awesome video! Doug could learn so much by watching your car review videos haha. You go so far in detail for everything and that is what we all want, not stupid quirks.
I bought this exact car 2 months ago, exact interior and exterior color in Calligraphy model of the Santa Fe. Incredible number of luxury options for incredible price. Drives and rides beautifully. By the way, the “H” stands for the Hyundai salesperson shaking hands with the new purchaser of a Hyundai. The climate screen is barely visible on a very sunny day which makes it difficult to turn ac on/adjust fan speed on a hot day. A problem in the design aspect.
I can't believe all the negative comments... I've been driving Hyundai in various forms since 2006 and have never had an issue with one of them. I've had 2 Sonata's and 3 Elantra's in that time. My wife is driving a 2019 Sonata and I have a 2013 Elantra with 112000 miles on it. The worst thing that happened is the backup camera is now intermittent. I am seriously looking at upgrading the Elantra to the new Santa Fe.
After waiting 15 months for a Toyota (the dealership looked ahead today and they can see no allotment for the next three months), I went to a local Hyundai dealership and ordered a Calligraphy. Wish we could get Hybrid Calligraphy's in Canada but they are not available. I take very good care of my vehicles, so it will get plenty of attention and hopefully the bad things that Hyundai's have been known for (connecting rods through the block) won't happen.
I have a 21 Palisade which has been awesome to own for the past 4 years. This new Santa Fe has caught my attention. Don’t know if I should get this or wait for the new Palisade redesign for the 2026 model year. But everyone who owns this car (not random internet haters) give it great reviews.
Holy cow, 45 minutes. You're so geeked out. It does look impressive. Ease of service A+ . Very utilitarian, tons of handy features, and looks good. Chrysler would charge twice as much, and only be half as good.
Hope she loves it and it's reliable. I don't have a family so I have lil sisters old 06 Charger RT she sold me cheap so she could buy a Forester, I don't know why she bought it either, it scared her, but it's a nice car.
@WatchJRGo FYI You can totally see the map for a brief moment and theres enough info to find out your exact location... I know RUclips has a new editing feature where you can add a blur overlay... Might want to check it out
Lexus is so boring tho and really hasn’t updated designs in years. Toyota as a brand has been lagging behind almost all manufacturers is innovation and features. You have to give Hyundai credit they have been leading a charge with new features and innovations and it’s finally paying off for the brand.
@@ingresswizard9044 At least their engines and trans won't explode. You'll have plenty of time to play with your innovations and features while waiting for a tow.
that's probably because most people who buy them are po and they aren't smart enough to change the oil more often than hyundai says to , they probably change it in longer intervals
These burn oil and their engines and trans fail without warning. Even if you have the dealership do all of your maintenance. Then Hyundai jerks you around for months and months.
bought my wife a 23 santa fe calligraphy and we also like it , not one problem so far (8000 miles in a year so not a ton of driving) we'll definitely run the clock out on the warranty if we keep it that long
@@nemesis656 anything is possible but with my warranty I can chance it and I’ve seen the changes they made to better their drivetrain over the last years because of my dealings with several automotive companies.
Wait, the hood struts were perfect!😂 This also reminds me of my 13 Ford Flex which was completely trouble free outside regular maintenance. Still sometimes regret trading it.
I wanted a matte brass calligraphy Santa Fe, but I just couldn't get over the rear. I loved the interior design and the way it drove, but the rear just looked unfinished to me. I bought the AWD 24 Kona Limited instead. It was the best bang for the buck once I decided to go with a Hyundai.
I'd be worried about the high failure rate of their engines and transmissions. They don't give much warning when they give out either, so it can be a safety issue.
I can see those active shutters breaking in cold climates... Either snapping the tabs when frozen over or burning out the motors, especially since they open on a start up sequence when the car is usually cold and frozen over
I agree with the H comment...Hyundai should definitely draw up something new & refreshing that reflects the design they're aiming for in a lot of their models. So I am planning on checking this out soon, but I can't help but the notice the many complaints about the drivetrain going bad, etc...
I thought BOSE stood for Buy Other Sound Equipment? Its funny how 9/10 people think they are top end speakers, but in a car audio environment, probably doesnt make much difference.
Watch that air filter door. The dealer will slam that thing shut and break the hinges off of it in two seconds. I had to argue with them to replace mine. I’ve honestly had the worst ownership experience with the Sonata that I have. I legit want my Accord back. I’ve had two Hyundai. My first one was great. This one was CPO and I don’t think I’ll ever buy another one.
At first I couldn't place the look of the rear, but it was somehow familiar. Then it came to me... It looks kind of like the old Volkswagen Vanagon from the 1980's.
The fans turning on when you unlock/approach the car is often done to help clear stagnant new car smell from the car. That's how volvo does it at least, and as the car gets some miles on it it'll do it less and less. No idea if this is what they do on this car though.
Would love to see an updated review from you on the Tesla FSD (supervised) and comparison to Hyundai’s stack. I know that’s not generally your thing but your perspective would be interesting. The DASD features in general keep leapfrogging and we live in different times than just a year ago.
No kids, but we have a tiny chihuahua that goes everywhere with us. We traded in a 2020 Honda CRV Touring Hybrid for our new 2024 Silver SF Hybrid Calligraphy. Your sister not liking it for the "H" symbols seems shallow.
Seems like a great deal for the money. Unfortunately, with 5 kids, this is just too small for me. My only options are the Suburban or the Expedition Max, which we have two of.
Holy cow, what a great review. Never thought I wanted a Hyundai. You are making the markups go even crazier JR. I think Hyundai understands the the MSRP game and probably encourages the dealership to markup their enticing affordable prices (you can never get them at their msrp).
same , i bought it for my wife last spring and it's been great so far .... one oil change is all it's had done (for free of course) i also paid a little extra for the 10yr /100k bumper to bumper warranty
@@youwebz i don't really remember but i had to play hard to get , i told them no the first two times they offered it to me for a price, so then they came back the third time and i wanna say it added $17 a month to the payment so it would be less than $1500

Thanks for this review. I went and bought my wife this exact configuration Santa Fa, last night. She absolutely loves it.
Because of this video, we want to test drive a Santa Fe tonight. I’ve never been a Hyundai fan but i have to admit, the Santa Fe is amazing.
DONT DO IT !
My 2015 Sante Fe Limited Ultimate has the same touchless rear hatch entry. That option has been around for years! Very useful 👍🏻
I own a GT2 AWD Stinger and seriously thinking about adding this vehicle to the garage. Test drove one and love the ride and performance.

As someone who's budget conscious, I'm really impressed with how serviceable the engine bay appears to be, thanks for showing that!!
I own a toyota, thats one thing I never wish to learn about, for a reason
Yeah, Hyundai and Kia both have very serviceable vehicles. I know it's the same company, but still. I do not mind working on them.
It’s serviceable since it’s gonna break all the time
Tail lights and rear end remind me of the Geo Metro.
Thought the same thing
And a little bit of Toyota Previa in there too.

@@jimharrison3552 Doesn't help you if blows up on I80 in the middle of Nebraska in the middle of winter....
@@ckm-mkc Hyundai also includes 5 years of roadside assistance.
@@ckm-mkcof course it does 🤦🏻♂️ good lord people are silly
I can see those active shutters breaking in cold climates... Either snapping the tabs when frozen over or burning out the motors, especially since they open on a start up sequence when the car is usually cold and frozen over
You just need to de badge the car for your sister. Add some Ranger Rover badging
And then just get her something better.
After you push the button and access the back seat, can you push the button and it returns to the original position?
Is this the wife of that guy Eric who has a different work truck for each day of the week?
I believe so and there is no denying who her father is either.
I agree with the H comment...Hyundai should definitely draw up something new & refreshing that reflects the design they're aiming for in a lot of their models. So I am planning on checking this out soon, but I can't help but the notice the many complaints about the drivetrain going bad, etc...
Looking after family, well done.
Not really
IMHO it is not a good idea to use cruise control or self driving in the rain. Does the car analyze the weather conditions ?
I think in most cars with sunroofs...if you open it using the switch, it opens the cover automatically.
Yes but in the nicer ones the cover is fully power 💯
The old "No Highs, No Lows, it must be Bose". LOL!
Better sound through marketing!
@@LuvADuc Yep. Both these "slogans" are perfect when it comes to Bose.
I thought BOSE stood for Buy Other Sound Equipment? Its funny how 9/10 people think they are top end speakers, but in a car audio environment, probably doesnt make much difference.
Watch that air filter door. The dealer will slam that thing shut and break the hinges off of it in two seconds. I had to argue with them to replace mine. I’ve honestly had the worst ownership experience with the Sonata that I have. I legit want my Accord back. I’ve had two Hyundai. My first one was great. This one was CPO and I don’t think I’ll ever buy another one.
Same issue with the filter housing hinge
The Hyundai badge represents two people shaking hands
I bought one same color awd. Last Monday
At first I couldn't place the look of the rear, but it was somehow familiar. Then it came to me... It looks kind of like the old Volkswagen Vanagon from the 1980's.
Wish we could spec in Europe that colors. Love that green with white interior 😍
The fans turning on when you unlock/approach the car is often done to help clear stagnant new car smell from the car. That's how volvo does it at least, and as the car gets some miles on it it'll do it less and less. No idea if this is what they do on this car though.
The Outback has had a hands-free liftgate since 2020... and has had the 'hidden' cargo cover since at least 2010
and while priced very low for the 2024 and manufactured in Japan, has awful reliability feedback
@@Ascension_3030 the outback? It's built in Indiana. Before dissing something you might want to check your facts.
Would love to see an updated review from you on the Tesla FSD (supervised) and comparison to Hyundai’s stack. I know that’s not generally your thing but your perspective would be interesting. The DASD features in general keep leapfrogging and we live in different times than just a year ago.
Absolutely 💯
No kids, but we have a tiny chihuahua that goes everywhere with us. We traded in a 2020 Honda CRV Touring Hybrid for our new 2024 Silver SF Hybrid Calligraphy. Your sister not liking it for the "H" symbols seems shallow.
Seems like a great deal for the money. Unfortunately, with 5 kids, this is just too small for me. My only options are the Suburban or the Expedition Max, which we have two of.
This has 3 rows and seats 7. They also make a long wheel base version which has more room
You ever see how much stuff a wife and 5 kids pack for a road trip? I really need a bus.
Holy cow, what a great review. Never thought I wanted a Hyundai. You are making the markups go even crazier JR. I think Hyundai understands the the MSRP game and probably encourages the dealership to markup their enticing affordable prices (you can never get them at their msrp).
Have they addressed the ‘easy to steal’ FEATURE or does it not apply to this one?
I believe that only affects the Hyundais with ignitions that use actual keys.
@brian5o ? The easy to steal models are the keyless models!!!!
If we put XRT wheels on this Calligraphy, will it give that extra 1" ground clearance as in XRT model?
I got the 2023 Santa Fe calligraphy and I love it
same , i bought it for my wife last spring and it's been great so far .... one oil change is all it's had done (for free of course) i also paid a little extra for the 10yr /100k bumper to bumper warranty
@@Mouthy_Trucker how much did you pay for the bumper to bumper warranty?
@@Mouthy_TruckerHow much was the warranty? 🙌
@@Mouthy_Truckerhello?
@@youwebz i don't really remember but i had to play hard to get , i told them no the first two times they offered it to me for a price, so then they came back the third time and i wanna say it added $17 a month to the payment so it would be less than $1500
On read yes. Off road, not really. Unless you're outside US, and get AWD version that have modes for off road.
