I liked this review, she was very good with a degree of sarcasm that I enjoyed for what was otherwise a rather interesting car made all the better by a good reviewer. Thank You for making this video.
@@murphymagic no. It's a great car. Only criticism is the "upgraded" Krell sound system. It's utterly pathetic. My 2014 Volvo had a better standard sound system. By far.
This was a review of the entire Santa Fe range, rather than the PHEV specifically. You can find everything you need to know at www.carbuyer.co.uk/hyundai/santa-fe
That's a very good question. Perhaps Hyundai, launching later, saw a shrinking market for the diesel and decided not to bother. Kia only offers the diesel in mid-spec 3 trim; it may be a case that it's not got long left!
Another cracking review Nicola. As you say Hyundai have certainly slinked there way from cheaper more utilitarian wagons to a more upmarket brand of chariots. I have to say that I prefer to use the term "popular" instead of "common", it just sounds more upmarket, a bit more posh. Like you I wonder if there are any hidden Easter eggs revealed by pressing a sequence of the enormous amount of buttons, Maybe even a sequence to provide next weeks winning lottery numbers (that'll now up the warranty claims for button failures and doctor visits for finger tip calluses, sorry doc). This thing not only has more buttons than I have fingers but is well on the way to catching up the attention of the Pearly King and Queen as there ideal transport. Now I wonder if there is a button to remind you to pick up the milk on the way home....
A portal to South Korea haha btw this updated interior is a good proposition the center console looks similar to that of a Merc or something and the dash reminds me of the Proton X50 they sell in Malaysia. A very good update.
The VED surcharge on a plug in hybrid proves that the Governments vehicle tax system has nothing to do with a caring of the environment, but a cash horse to drag as much money as possible out of motorists. Nothing new there. On a separate note, Hyundai have done a good job with the new Santa Fe 👍
I've noticed a horizontal crease approximately centre on your jumper. Concise review. The colours on your jumper remind me of fruity gummy sweets. Distinguished motor.

Thanks David, very kind of you to say.
We've just ordered the phev in ultimate trim. Can't wait to get it.
You're in for a treat!
were you disapointed?

@@slugger7440 Good man thinking of getting this myself. Was looking at Kia but think Hyundai looks better over all
Seems like a lot of car for the money. Great jumper btw Nicola, literally humming the rainbow theme tune 🙂.
I mean yeah… I get wanting to go back to buttons and dials but Christ on a bike you could play a game of Battleships on that grid!
Hey, car manufacturers- WE WANT BUTTONS!!!!!! Take note, VW especially! Your current cars interiors are a joke.
Great review. Current Santa Fe owner, prefer the looks of the new one to the Sorento, so much so, ordered one.
How many electric miles does the PHEV do on a full charge? How big is the battery? Both key figures I feel were missed from this review.

That indicator blind spot thing really impressed me
Why is the diesel version no longer offered in the UK, unlike its Kia Sorento sister car?

This should get 2023 carbuyer large family car of year: this is better than the sorento every day of the week
how is that?
We'd still favour the Kia - just!
Sante fe is same underpinning as sorento engine gearbox etc
After mat you are amazing ,nice feel about carbuyer mate!!!
The presenter character just fit that car character especially when she’s setting feels like she is in full control of F35
Great review guys, and Nicola is a treat as always.
Thanks Arie!
I think I will keep my 2017 SantaFe Ultimate for a few more years...
i still think that some cars from kia/hyundai brand are unrefined. i recently test drove the new sorento and a new genesis g80
Dig the jumper. Lol
I bought one last June, very good car. I love the self driving system - who needs Tesla?
This was fun to watch! Just waiting for my Santa Fe to be made. Semiconductor shortage and all that..

Nicola is the female Mat Watson! That is meant as a huge compliment btw. Best two car reviewers out there. Most are very dull unfortunately.😂
Interesting. The Santa Fe in the UK has 7 seats....while in the U.S. it only has 5. Odd there's a difference in seating.
US has the HyundaiPalisade which is a 7 seater with captains chairs. It’s essentially a bigger Sante Fe. Not available in Europe

Sarcastic, funny and a good presenter. I like her!
That sweater is the highlight of this review.
I really don't think so
3:41 she is almost yelling to mask all the sounds the plastics make in the car 😂 while she says it’s so quite 😂
9ish seconds to 60mph? That's downright anemic and premium fuel on top?! I think a Citroen 2c? Might give it a run lol
But buying a Santa Fe for its 0 to 60 speed would be like buying a new Bentley for something cheap to fetch the groceries with, wouldn’t it?
Ron, speed limit in the city is 60. Who are you fooling with that comment? Are you taking your Santa Fe out for a track day?
Mate, love you and your reviews to bits but Geoffrey from Rainbow wants his jumper back.
Thank the sweet lord for actual real life buttons though.
Tell Geoffrey ‘tough luck’. I’m keeping it because I like it 😊
@@nicolahume hahaha! Fair play, but don't blame me if George and Zippy start bothering you
This lady is hilariously amusing. Brilliant.
I think this chick is taking over from that Matt guy.
Towing weight? After all it is a large SUV.

Stopped watching after finding out no diesel.
Did you mention the long warranty. i would suggest you stop looking for celebrity against doing a real review.
I've noticed a horizontal crease approximately centre on your jumper. Concise review. The colours on your jumper remind me of fruity gummy sweets. Distinguished motor.
Note to self - iron better.
Maybe the jumpers a nod to lgbt?
Good lord nicola..... stop making those little noises!! (Bites knuckles)
Did u fix the horrible gas guzzling oil consuming engine?
all cost over £40.000 !!!!!!

Wow it's my dream for Christmas a Santa day I'm in love with dis car please can some one make my dreams come true I'm donovan from Jamaica
Hopefully you're on Santa's nice list!
I wouldn't drive a Santa fe if they gave it to me but I watched the video because she's entertaining
Out of curiosity I will ask.....Why do you dislike the Sante Fe?
I like this car, I may get one next year.
But I don't like this review.
Host is far too smart-arsed.
Can’t win ‘em all ey Mal😊
What brand of heroin is she taking?
Wafty? Is that even a word?😃
Two minutes in and aaarrhhhggghhtgb
Please,get another presenter,fed up with the sillyness ,just to stand out !
A skoda kodiak is not a better car it's the most boring looking piece of junk ever
Carbuyer has gone woke too. What a shame.
