I actually found the side steps helpful with having my handicapped father get in and out of the vehicle
Definitely helps with that.
As far as the running boards go or side steps. I hav a 3 year old son that actually use them regularly to get in and out of the vehicle by himself so I think it’s a win for those that have kids.
That is a great point. Do you have the XRT Santa Fe or are you talking about running boards and side steps in general. I found these in particular to be very narrow, maybe good for kids but my foot would slip off. I have running boards that are much wider on my Pilot and kids get in and out using them all the time. Thank you for your comment
Getting ready to buy one this week in Hampton grey. Can’t wait.
Exciting!! Congratulations!
So glad I found your channel!!! I just got my Santa Fe XRT and I’m learning lots more about it from your video. And yes, the door closing is an important feature to me too 😊. I’ve subscribed and lol forward to more of your insightful reviews. Thanks again!!! 😊
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much for watching!
I love the way the seats hug your body
Comfy as well
Just bought the AWD version of this today! I think the side steps will be great for my little ones! Thanks for a great video!
Thank you for watching and congratulations!!
Just got mine. Love it
Congrats on your new suv! 👍👍
Great review!!! I just bought one in Black with the Htrac
Thanks you do much! And congratulations on your new ride!
That’s so odd that this model doesnt have the button to fold the rear seats down. My 2022 santa fe xrt has a button not too far from the 12v plug in the trunk that you just push and it folds the seats down automatically. Also, the running boards on the side aren’t exactly a miss! I bought a Yakima skybox 16 and anytime im opening/closing and loading my cargo box on the roof rack, I use those running boards! Hopefully this us useful information!
Very useful, thank you! Hyundai changed their trim levels and packages. The XRT used to be based on SEL with Convenience Package which included the power rear seat release, for this year its based on just SEL. However i did not see that as an option. One way to get people confused lol.
i love hyundai.. hyundai is great car my 2010 santafe is just 250k .still runng
Great car!
Helpful video. I'm getting an xrt tomorrow.
Congratulations!
With the roof rails the running boards do come in handy!
My beef with them was yhat they are too short and i could not put my foot on them without opening the door. And if i have doors open i would just stand on the door sill.
Better looking rims on the lower lever XRT than the hideous looking rims on the higher trims. Hyundai gotta do something about that.
That depends on who you ask lol
I purchased a 2023 XRT for 35k.
You did good!
Nice!! I just bought one yesterday for $37k! In all black 😎
@@cfont4939 congrats!!
I got mine a few days ago for $36,355. They threw in a cargo cover, floor mats, cargo net, and reversible cargo cover. I'm really enjoying it so far.
@@rogerwilliams4493 congratulations!!
Great review, thank you....
Thank you , I appreciate it 😀
I think of the side step as a means to reach the top and Protect from rocks from kicking up
Agree. I found the width of it bit narrow. But than again i am size 12 lol
subbed....wow, i can't believe you only have 5.5K subs. That # should be 555K at least, you ALWAYS make all the points i'm curious about : ) BTC
Thank you so much! Comments like this make me want to work harder 👍🙂
The first Santa Fe in the USA and Canada was 2001.
Thanks!
Well done!
Thank you!!
Do you know if the 2023 XRT has a garage door opener like the 2022 Santa Fe SEL?
I dont see that feature on the car or listed as equipment. I will double check when i am at Hyundai dealership.
It doesn’t
Does it have the parking collision warning?
You mean forward collision avoidance? Yes it does.
Why do you think the gas mileage is so bad with the AWD version, it drops from 28(which is not so good) to 25 for hwy driving? Other cars don't usually drop so much for their AWD versions. Don't understand the thought process on the side steps at all.
That is a great question. Usually awd drops it by 1mpg or so. I am not sure but will try to find out.
@@MattTheCarguy
Wondering how accurate the numbers are the turbo trim doesn't have a drop for awd version in fact I think it does better than the regular engine with awd.
Don't worry about what the sticker says in this case. I have a 2022 of this model with the HTRAC system and do a lot of highway driving. Real world driving my dash reads right around 28 mpg. I do drive with a light foot but it does better than the sticker says if you do a lot of highway driving.
I couldn't sit comfortable in the driver sit, specially getting in or out. They screwed up something. I'm 5'9
Hmm, strange. I did not experience that.
It is a bit tight. I think bc the middle cluster is so wide. Also they should’ve allowed for the drivers seat to slide back a tad more.
Same here and im 5'7 it sucks getting in and out the driver seat is kind of high to me
Can the side steps be removed?
I am pretty sure there is a way
Where to buy the side step?
This one came standard with it but maybe ask your dealership if you can order it
Honestly not worth the extra money for side steps, a roof rack, off-road tires and some rugged-looking exterior plastic trim. Same goes for the Honda Passport Trailsport.
I agree, if the addons don't provide any functional value I don't need them.
