Ultimate 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Review | Bang for Buck!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The 2020 Santa Fe didn't have any big changes for this model year but it's probably the most underrated 2 row suv there is. I was impressed by how well it performed in each category. Overall, this 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited model has tons of features, it's comfortable, practical, and provides a big bang for buck compared to some other competitors.

*At 13:30 I said 12v power outlets but it has 1 USB as well *
Hope you all have an amazing rest of your 2019! 👍
has one 12 volt power outlet, one regular USB and one USB that runs the Android Auto and also charges your phone
Hamer Player thanks! 👍
Also worth mentioning that the Santa Fe (as well as the KIA Sorento) has a 110V household power outlet located at the back of the center console. It's a relatively rare feature and extremely useful for powering a laptop computer or other small appliances.

We got our Santa Fe AWD SEL 2.4L in red yesterday. We are by no means rich people and my wife cried after paying for it because she gets emotional after big purchases. Within 15 minutes of driving, she had the biggest smile on her face. She deserves something nice.
Christopher Longhurst that’s awesome! Glad she’s happy with it!
Going to give an update.
We’ve had this vehicle for nigh three weeks now and I am my usual self. Inquiring what all the buttons do and how does the vehicle work, what information is the vehicle giving me? I have been blown away by all that the car is capable of telling me from tire pressure to what the ratio of the awd is on each wheel going up a hill.
When you dig deep, you can find the most amazing features just built right in.Then it comes to the app. Wow.
The CarPlay is fun. Hook your phone in and get navigation and audio.
If you want a nice drive, this car is great. It’s simple enough to get the basics. If you really want to get involved in what this vehicle offers though, you will be absolutely blown away.
That’s awesome to hear. Glad you’re enjoying it and you’re absolutely right with everything the vehicle is capable of and the features available. Thanks for stopping back 😁👍
its funny because we got ours too the only problem is its acceleration
@@kyalien How is the power and acceleration with the non turbo engine?
I just purchased this car today and I LOVE it
The 2021 looks even hotter though.
@@rkgsd ......................
Thinking of buying it.. any tips or recommendations?
Congrats!
Which trim did you get
I had one of these as an insurance replacement rental and loved it. The safety package on just the standard is phenomenal. Excellent lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and breaking assist. I done 100 plus in this car with no problem and felt planted to the ground.
We have a Limited turbo, and my wife loves this vehicle. It is quiet and comfortable. A lot of car for the money.
One tip for anyone with a 2019+ SF: Since the tire jack is so rarely needed, I pulled out the styrofoam piece it's stored in and used a knife to cut just a bit of foam off the length. This allowed me to easily fit it into one of the farther back underfloor storage compartments and freed up the other side of the more convenient underfloor storage which also allows you to put long items in there like a large umbrella
Traded in my BMW X3 for this exact model. Unbelievable how much value Hyundai delivers. LOVE my Santa Fe!
I purchased a 2020 Santa Fe SEL with the smaller engine and it does a really good job on pickup and go. I never cared for the turbo lag with turbo engines, I like the instant response of the smaller engine. Great bang for the buck with all the driving technology available on it. Test drive and compare.
I'm of two minds about small displacement turbo engines. I love the 2.0L turbo in my GTI and when I considered a Mustang last year I was impressed by the 2.3L Ecoboost 4 banger in that application. On the other hand in vehicles that come close to 2.5 tons when loaded with fuel, passengers, and gear, I'm strongly inclined to prefer a larger displacement naturally aspirated V6. I'm simply skeptical about the long term durability if not the initial performance of smaller displacement engines, turbo or naturally aspirated.
Love how right to the point and detailed this review was. I absolutely loved Hyundai’s and this is the one that I am looking to get next. I’ve had the Sonata as my first car in 2011, my current Elantra since 2014, and now I’m ready for the Santa Fe! Never thought at age 27 I’d have 3 different Hyundai’s lol. Thanks
My parents have a 2019 2.0T Ultimate & it’s sharp for what it is. Best bang for the buck!
So glad these 2020 videos are still out there. Bought the 2020 Santa Fe SEL with convenience. Incredible machine! Bought it just before the big February 2021 monster snow storm. The Santa Fe cut right through the snow (granted, it was not too deep where I live but it was insanely cold). It's a mid-size AWD (correction, HTRAC!), I do quite a bit of highway driving and can get 30 mpg average over the course of a fill-up. My salesman and I even put the full size tire on as a spare and it still hasn't zapped the miles per gallon. Used to have a CRV, but needed a bigger vehicle. It checked the most boxes. Love it!
Excellent review. We purchased a 2020 Ultimate in August. We looked at every midsize SUV after someone creamed our CRV. The quiet of the interior is astounding. I was told it has some kind of sound deadening windshield. The seats are excellent. I am 6 2. The drivers seat has a depth adjustment in the front which compensates for my tiny wife. After having bad drivers cream the minivan and the classic Jaguar XK8, I was looking for safety and I got it. Love the side mirror displays, the side sensors, the parking camera. I was backing out of a Costco space and an aggressive driver whipped into the lane and the car stopped itself. A driver tried the slick move of cutting left 1 foot from our front on the highway and it immediately self braked. The auto lane assists works well, but we turn it off for country roads. It even has a feature where, if someone is getting ready to hit you in a rear quarter, it will kick the car with the opposite rear brake in attempt to jog it over. We have the 2 liter, non turbo. We got 31MPG on a trip to NY a few weeks ago. Is it underpowered? Yes. Do I mind? No. If I want to go fast, I have a supercharged car for that. It’s not a tow vehical and it gets up to speed and exceeds just fine. Heated and cooled seats...way better than the Lexus and way less expensive. Paid more for this than the old CRV, but the ride and handling is superior. So far, I love it.
Thanks for the comment. My husband is 6’3” and we’re test driving tomorrow!
We live in the mountains and have an older Santa fe with the n/a 2.4 engine. Isnt not a sports car, but power is never an issue for us
Glad you mention that I'm not a fan a turbocharged engine or direct injection Its not an Audi R4
I have a 2017 accent and it runs wonderfully I now have 2 kids going to go look at this this weekend and my be leaving with it ☺️
That’s awesome! Good luck and enjoy if you get it
Did you end up getting it
Jae Devrick no I saw their coming out with a 2021 so ima save more and get that one next year
@@lelelanaee6968 yesss!!! I've been watching videos of the 2021 early today the thing is lovely sis I just hope they don't give the sunroof to the highest model only like dang give the sunroof too the sel model too. But as soon as I paid my car down im going to get it. The new Nissan Rouge that coming out is nice too but their transmission be acting up 😪
I have that exact vehicle. 2020 Santa Fe Limited 2.0T Quartz white. Have less than 600 miles on it. The car is a delight to drive. My wife and I must pick between this and our Genesis G80 and we pick this every time. Yes, the Genesis is faster and quieter but visibility (sitting higher) is better and features are nearly identical.
Happy THANKSGIVING Nolan!! We are PROUD Owners of this Santa Fe. 2019 loaded SEL Model. with 3000 miles. I like this in the Red matches my new Impala. well, Impala is deeper red. The Lane Keep Assit the best, the added hidden compartments. My dislikes are the missing Remote Start and having to use BlueLink. The interior is A+++ The 2 tone design just works for me.and the performance is Good. Nolan We drove the Turbo and the base engine The base didn’t have the lag and we felt very comfortable pulling out onto heavy traffic and feel the engine will last longer in the long run. So sd went with the SEL PLUS as is the MPG’s. Safety Features luxury cars do not have like the Back door not opening if a car is coming. And Something that shocked me on these Santa Fe is the Quiet Cabin and the Ride. I thought the previous Santa Fe’s 2017 was damn good but this is on a whole new level. It seems quieter than my Impala. Love the Pano Roof, my Impala Pano Roof is nice but Santa Fe is crazy good. The dealer we bought from in Kneene, NH. gives LIFETIME Transferable powertrain warranty. We paid $4000 under suggested retail. Which was $31K $410 a month Zero APR. Financing. No money or trade down. Great Review
Happy thanksgiving to you too Gene! Awesome to hear that and you’re experience with it! I was wondering how that engine would do since I complained about it (and in my 5 likes dislikes video 🙄) lol. Glad to hear it does well for you and I would always rather have a naturally aspirated engine! It really impressed me just like you! Take care sir!
I’ve seen this Hyundai Santa Fe recently at a dealership & I think it’s one of the best out there~ interior is very nice & comfortable......I would prefer, the LIMITED😬.
I prefer the Limited 2.0T bc the base engine just seems weak
Love the reviews. Always down to earth and easy to understand and follow. Your opinion on different aspects of the vehicles are helpful! Thanks Nolan
Thank you very much!
This review is premium content. Thank you Sir. I always appreciate when people show me if they can potentially camp in the car as I love to camp. Greatly appreciated!
I JUST BOUGHT A 2020 ELITE 2.0T, AND I'M IN LOVE WITH IT. QUIET, STURDY, SOLID. THE DRIVER ASSIST IS FANTASTIC. DITTO FOR THE AUTO WIPERS. IT WILL BY ITSELF COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FROM THE LEADING CAR. ONE NEAT THING IS THAT YOU CAN DIAL IN THE SPEED, AND IT SHOWS ON THE DASH. THE COOL PART IS AFTER A STOP, AFTER 20 MPH, HIT RESUME AND IT TAKES YOU BACK TO THE SPEED YOU SET. THE HEADSUP IS FANTASTIC; EVEN SHOWS THE SPEED LIMIT. ALSO THE REAR SEATS SLIDE AND RECLINE. TONS OF ROOM, AND THERE IS A PLACE TO HIDE YOUR CARGO COVER UNDER THE FLOOR. I HATE TO GET OUT OF IT.
what you think after having it for a year??
I couldn’t afford the Limited but I’d go for the SE.
Thank you we got one today and the Turbo 2 L engine and 4 tire steering was sooo important. Had we not known I may have been disappointed. Great review!
I have a 2020 Santa Fe top of the range model with every option I could get except for a roof rack and a hitch. I’m very pleased with the vehicle and the price for all the options was excellent. The vehicle feels refined and rides quieter and smoother than I imagined it would. My only complaint is that the gas pedal is a bit difficult to modulate and I would have liked to had the no longer available v6 but the power in the turbo is acceptable. I do love the darkened chrome, on mine it is kind of a gold tone to it. I have the blue color.
How much did they come down off MSRP?
Wow have this baby come a long way since my ol 1997
HUD is a plus. Extra storage is cool. Toyota has a ton of connected services that they charge per month for. It would add up to a chunk of change if you got everything. I like the blind spot camera. I like a more powerful engine. I have an otterbox so won’t wirelessly charge. Pano sunroof is my vibe - PNW is so dark and rainy. Love the sunshades to take naps at lunch :).
Haha good call with the sunshades and pano roof up there! I’ve never been to that part of the country.
Thanks for doing by Leo!
We have a 2020 SEL 2.0t awd. We love it. The espresso brown interior is the best I’ve seen, especially in this price range. We have the white as well. The 2.0t has plenty of power. The turbo lag isn’t bad at all. It’s a lot better than the 2.4. Passing on the highway is really good. We really thought the Santa Fe was the best in its class. Maybe even better than some luxury SUVs when you compare and factor in the price.
Brad Gregory how is your fuel economy I’m city driving? Is that turbo lag annoying when passing?
@@tonyvargas368 we really don't notice the turbo lag. City mpg isn't great. Depending on how we are driving, it can get belong 20 mpg a bit around 17-18 mpg. If you're not stomping on the gas it makes a big difference. Highway was good. We drove from NY to NC and we got in the mid-20s or so. Most of the ride down we were in the upper 20s, and that was using the vehicle gauge. I didn't calculate it manually.
I think the 2.0T works much better with AWD, it's the one I'm thinking of getting
Steve Hammes we’re still very happy with ours. No complaints. Should be able to get a good deal at this time. 👍🏻
Are you good with the SEL and the things it doesn't have compared to the Limited? Thanks
Thank you for such a thorough and helpful review. This was just what I needed to watch!
What I don’t like on mine is: the engine start/stop thing when you get to a light. It should be off for default instead of on - requiring you to push a button to disable it. Secondly, the tilt steering wheel is manual. Love our G80 with automatic wheel which changes for driver #1 or #2. Other than those two things I’m good!
Yeah for some reason a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel is exclusive to Genesis vehicles & isn't available on Hyundai models. The only Kias that have it are the Stinger, the K900, & maybe the Cadenza
As always, Santa Fe never disappoints
This is probably the best Santa Fe ever made. The interior looks very simple to operate. Why so my lights in the front though 🤔. Excellent review Nolan!!!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
MoNo K definitely! It really was, no learning curve at all.
Thank ya sir and Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
It has LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), LED low & high beams, & LED fog lights
Great Review Nolan. I agree with you regarding the powertrains and would add that I don't like that the spare tire is underneath the vehicle.
Thank you very much! Yeah I was surprised to see the under vehicle mount...don’t see that much anymore
I bought the same SUV in blue color in October 2020, and I am loving it...
I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market for a SUV of this size. My wife has one, we can fit three car seats in it. Its easy to drive and the 2.4L engine has plenty of pick up and go for merging onto the high way.
Thank you. You are a practical man, we're tired of journalists who always say the 2.4GDI is underpowered even when its used in fwd smaller Kia sportage. This Santa Fe is huge.
@@malandvulamachawe6323 I have an F150 and I am still wowed by the 2.4 in the Santa Fe. The engine works well with the 8 speed transmission. The price is right as well.
Another great review. Leave the heads up display that's my fave feature on new cars! You make a car I'm in no way interested in seem interesting.
Thanks so much Joel! I’m happy to hear that! 😁
I really like your videos. Very informative and to the point about the aspects that everyday people care about. I agree 100% about the engine choices.They do the job, but they get wheezy at highway speed. Hyundai/Kia was a joke of a car brand up until the early 2000s. Though not perfect along the way, they have come really far in offering a very nice vehicle for everyday use.
Thank you for the kind words! For sure...they’ve done a great job and offer some serious value now!
Definitely a bang for your buck. I don’t like the divorced lights either but I do like the wheels and that color.
I’m with you on the headlights and wheels too. Happy holidays sir!
Super review Nolan. A good looking SUV overall. Nice in white too :-)
Andrew K. NI thank you sir! I missed this comment!
@@PrimeAutotainment lol :-) One of the best looking suv's but then I'm biased as I own a Hyundai :-)
Nolan, really awesome view. I would only buy this SUV, if Hyundai has upgraded their customer service dept. Bluelink system is also a drawback, it gets outrageous.
Thank you! Dang I haven’t had any personal experience with their customer service but that’s a shame!
We've found an awesome dealership after dealing with a really bad one to work on our 2014 Santa Fe. The new ones CS was so good, we just rewarded them by upgrading to the 2020 Sante Fe 2.0T Limited, about 4 hours ago. We wouldn't have done that otherwise. Also on 2020 models, first 3 years they do the maintenance. Makes everything so easy.
Blue link is three years complimentary now. You must pick the right Service Advisor to obtain good service. The occasional twenty or fifty dollar tip helps a lot too. And, that becomes a good investment!
Good review man. I got 2020 Santa fe Preferred, traded my 2016 Elantra limited for it, overall not happy with the car....lacks power and no power tail gate available....Might trade it in for Ultimate model
Just checked one out today. First time ever. Love it. Love the storage. Plus fit 3 in the back if needed
The houses in that neighborhood are massive, I guess everything is bigger in Texas! Haha! Nice review as always.
Lol yeah they are...not my neighborhood! On my way to the area I like to drive though lol. Thank ya very much!
@@PrimeAutotainment You're welcome, Sir. Happy Thanksgiving!
22Kevi Happy Thanksgiving to you too! 😁
Thanks for the great review. The big concern for me is the Santa Fe's low power to weight ratio (6 hp/100 lbs) and the false sense of fuel economy from the 2.0L turbo. Many buyers will skip over the sluggish naturally aspirated 2.5L and go directly to the smaller turbocharged 2.0L in order to satisfy their need for more pep. Unfortunately, real world fuel economy will suffer for some of the more spirited Santa Fe drivers. I found the vehicle is just too heavy not to "give it" when accelerating from a stop. The Santa Fe would definitely be better off with the Lambda 3.3L V6. At least make it an option.
Thank you! Definitely, I would love to see that too!
Thanks for this thorough review. I'm now leaning towards getting this vehicle
That’s awesome! I was impressed with it, especially the features for the price compared to some competitors. What else are you considering?
Prime Autotainment Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade or Honda Pilot. Shopping gets very confusing!
Jewels Fields those are all nice options for sure. Biggest difference is the 3 rows in those categories the Santa Fe. The Palisade and telluride feel more premium than the Pilot but the Pilot is still nice and practical
JUST BOUGHT ONE, FANTASTIC
Love it over Land Rover Discovery Sport HSE
I bought my first Hyundai in 2014 (2011 santa fe). I had just moved to Canada and i was looking for a used SUV for under 20k. I picked up the Hyundai and I said... eh this will do for a couple of years till i situate in the country bbecause hyundai is a low class brand. I loved it and I loved how at 160.000km I had no major problems rather than front ball joints ($400cad) for it. I test drove the 2016 Santa Fe in 2018 but I ended up not buying it because I realized leasing a car is not worth it (and I wasn’t looking to spend 30k at that moment). I also loved the 2016 Santa Fe Sport. Now that I’m finally going to buy a new car, I will definitely go for a used 2019 Santa fe with the new style, or even a brand new 2020!!!
That’s awesome to hear! They’re really producing great cars lately and very impressive for the prices too! 👍
Maybe I understand the way you go for a used vehicle but trust me, this last santa fe deserved to have it brand new. I have the second trim from the bottom up, and is amazing, get use to the driver Mode like confort on the city, sport on the xpressway and eco.. Eco.. Eco never eco ha hahaha, let us know what did you buy
chamomiami I test drove the 2020 luxury, which is a trim above yours. They quoted me 48.000 (with tax) for it and 5.600 (which I found bad deal) for trading in for my 2011 Santa Fe. I believe i can get 7.000-8.000 since the car is certified private party. Also, I find that 48.000 is a bit too expensive for an SUV. My 2011 is still going strong, and since for years im indecisive as hell I’ll just keep it a little longer. How is yours doing so far?
Excuse me, 48k is expensive for an SUV for me, might not for others. I like the Preffered trim which is the one you got but I want those few extra options and details, such as chrome detailing on the extrerior, the luxury wheel rims and the extra few safety packages
@@randomvids2882 I see and agree that 48k is too high, I just to have a 2018 santa fe lease and they called me to buy it from me I say I wanna wait and they insisted so I just showed up and I write a price on a paper.. And after a ping pong price discussion asking for a down payment... I ended paying what I wanted.. Btw they pay for that year remaining of lease and that suv was sold in like tree amazing weeks (the 2018) whatever.. So far so good, if you ask I wish I had a better sound system even I never play loud bud shoul sound better and maybe bigger wheels size.. Oh and automatic rear door. Nothing more. My trim is full of safety.. If I want more definitely go for the Palisade
That big black plastic grill will be faded gray in less than 2 years. Can I get a 10 year 100k mile replacement on faded and brittle plastic trim?
Hyundai should partner with Mercedes and give us an AMG V12 bi-turbo just for you to stop bitching about the engine.
This engine great and it is much quieter when compared to RAV4 or CRV. I think Hyundai and Kia have the best 4 cylinder engines in the market.
You criticized the steering feel, but in sport mode, the steering and handling tighten up considerably.
Happy Thanksgiving Nolan! Always liked the Santa Fe. I haven’t been in a new one, but I liked the last gen. The new one looks good, but I agree with you on the head lamp design. I to would like to see an engine upgrade. I remember the last gen feeing a bit underwhelming. Anyhow, it’s a lot of SUV for the buck.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too man! As always I feel the same way you do. It definitely is, lots of features. Once I get to 25k subs I get access to FCA and hopefully that opens the door to Subaru because I think the same fleet company manage them. It’s been so long to not get into a Subaru 😕. I’ll have to grab my grandparents previous gen outback for a used review! 😁
Haha. I like the previous gen Outbacks. I keep going back and forth on one or a Crosstrek. Not sure how I feel about the new Outback....I think I like the 2015-2019 better. Here’s to 25k. I’ll help anyway I can!
I love mine, I live in it and its legit perfect.
I'm on my second Lincoln and I'm thinking of going Hyundai.
Such a smooth ride. Drives like a car.
Sedan Utility Vehicle.
I just bought a Santa FE and traded in my rx350 a 2009 model...
Awesome, enjoy it 😁👍
Lisa Gayden which trim level you get ? And how do you like since this post ?
@@semiauto3148 I got the SE. I absolutely love it. ❤
Another great review, Nolan. I hope you can do a review of the Mazda CX-30 or CX-8 soon!
Thank you John! I hope so too. I’ll see when the earliest is that I can get one 👍
I like the CX30. Seems like a raised up Mazda3.
The safety features are amazing.
I'm getting this car soon so happy to get out my 2012 Hyundai Santa fe
Please let me know which one you would recommend the most or you most likely to buy.
①Kia Sorento ②Nissan Rogue ③Hyundai SANTAFE ④Ford Escape ⑤Jeep Cherokee ⑥Toyota Rav4 ⑦Subaru Forester ⑧Mazda CX-5 ⑨Honda CR-V
Please name any other SUVs you like or you highly recommend!
Thank you!
really wish Hyundai would put more fuel efficient engines for Tuscan and Santa Fe.
Me too!
watcherSL why?? Isn’t this one fuel efficient???
Needs the Hyundai Hybrid tech added and, keep towing specs; Love my 2016 Sonata Hybrid Limited without Ultimate option. Shopping to replace our 2005 Tucson LX so a hybrid option in Santa Fe or Tucson would be a deal maker. Love our service manager in Tracy, CA who's taken care of us for 12 years now (service department is critical factor).
that headliner is so cool, its almost like a denim material
That liner material is exclusive to the Limited.
I had the 2019 ultimate non-turbo, the gas mileage was terrible. I averaged between 16 and 17 in the city and 22 on the highway if I was lucky. I traded that in for a 2019 mustang GT and I was averaging 17 to 18 in the city and 26 on the highway. I’m trading the mustang in 2 weeks for a 2020 outback. I love the interior of the Santa Fe, but I am not a fan of their gas mileage.
I love the Santa Fe and recently when I was looking to trade my Tucson, my first option was the Santa Fe but I find this new generation too big compared with the previous generation. Well done by Hyundai. Thanks for the video Nolan.
Thanks for watching Luis! Are you looking at anything else to trade for?
Check out the Palisade!!!
@@PrimeAutotainment I traded in already for a 2019 Honda CRV EX. I like it and never had any Honda before.
Love your reviews
Ahmad Al Ameer thank you sir! I always appreciate you stopping by! 👍
Don’t know if this is a dumb question, but is the 2023 better than the 2020?
So a POV on it, please! I hope I see it.
Oh, you did do a POV. I commented before I watched the video.
😁👍
I was about to buy a used 2020 limited, until i saw this and I can't believe there's no autostart on the keyfob. Every competitor has that, but hyundai makes you pay $10/mo for it?
Great, detailed information. Very well done.
Thank you!
If you forget about the engine and powertrain what is left? Hyundai should have put a proper v6 with 9 or 10 speed auto in this thing.
I’d love to see a V6 too and the extra gears could help the MPG which isn’t that great either. I think a lot of people will be fine with the power but it’s not what I would hope.
I love your videos, but one thing you might do sometime is how many times you could count yourself saying "as well". It kind of reminds me of counting how many times Dan Akroyd said the line "We're on a Mission from God" from the Blues Brothers. I know it's kind of like the habit some people say "the bottom line is" or "do you hear what I'm saying". Good review. One other thing, IF YOU get the opportunity to speak with these car manufacturers. Have they ever thought about making the Video Screen to have a Tilt option so you can set it the way you want to? I'm surprised no one has yet addressed this, especially Honda's screen that slopes too far forward.
simon2077 I know exactly what you’re saying...I’ve been aware of it and have had a hard time kicking it lol. I appreciate your feedback and I need to focus more on it! Thank you again! 😁👍
Do you know if the mirrors tilt down when you put the gear in reverse?
Ayush Malpeddi yes
Im sorry you dislike this suv. You had many dislikes. I own the 2019 hyundai santa fe 2.0t ultimate. I really like it. Gives you a lot of technology for your money.
I actually like it! I just try to give positive and negative from my personal opinion. Glad to hear you like it and it really is a great value!
I own the 2019 Santa Fe Ultimate 2.0. Ive had it since September 2018. Its an awesome vehicle, however my main complaint is the poor gas mileage. I do most of my driving in the city. Im averaging about 15 mpg, between 250-275 miles a gas tank. That's poor in my opinion.
Dang sorry to hear about the mileage. That’s a bummer but I hope you’re happy with it otherwise!
How noticeable is the turbo lag?
I can’t wait to see the 2021 version
I’m going to be purchasing this car in November I like the brown one
This is so random but you look just like Austin North lol! Also love the car! ✨❤️
KOSA haha I’ve never heard that before! OBX 😁. Thanks for stopping by 👍
Great job Nolan!! I am not a fan of the low headlightre, nor the puny 4cylinder. Give it back the V6 and I would consider it. I prefer the Kia over this. The sea of black interior is a downer too.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Thanks Lance! Yeah I wish it had the 6 cyl too! Happy thanksgiving to you as well!
Thank you Nolan!! Do you know if you will get the KIA Sorento any time soon?
I hope your first Thanksgiving and Christmas as a dad is wonderful and memorable!
Australia getting 3.5L V6 soon. Will be excellent.
one thing that drives me nuts is the "directional" rims, they point forward on the driver side, and point backward on the passenger side. If you're going to use directional rums, make sure they point the same way.
At 15:45 you mention a transmission cooler is available. Dealer said they can add a trailer hitch for $395 installed, but they know nothing about a transmission cooler. Can you elaborate? Thanks.
So I went back to look at my notes where I get my information, Hyundai’s trim comparison and their press site but I can’t find that anywhere. I have no clue where I got that and I can’t figure it out. I apologize!
@@PrimeAutotainment Appreciate the response. I do tow and want to give the trans some extra protection. Looks like there are some universal coolers but nothing from Hyundai. Don't want to give any reason to void the warranty on the transmission should something in case of problems.
Great review
Thank you!
for me the engine for that is good enough, if you are considering fuel economy with comfort and technology. if you want bigger engine i guess you can choose between the telluride or the palisade.
I love this SUV and do plan on buying one, perhaps at the year end cycle next Fall. The 4 cylinder is a disappointment but really isn’t quite the negative in relatively flat North Texas.
How did you find so many roads not under construction in Rockwall County?
It’s a great option, very practical and offers lots of features.
Haha good question! Well one is the roads I was in just got done with construction this year. It’s everywhere. Every empty omit of land by my house is being torn up too...craziness
Great review !
Perfect review!
Thank you!
Automatic up and down only for the front windows in a 38k SUV?
Hey Nolan: Can you review the 2020 Acura MDX Hybrid Advance? I considering and want to know what you think. Thx
Hey I will actually be getting an MDX to review in a couple of weeks. Im not sure which one it is though. But I hope it helps you make a decision!
@@PrimeAutotainment I sure hope it's a Hybrid because you won't believe the Acura MDX Hybrid with Advance package!
I like the blue flame color awesome
Subscribed.
Great info.
Thank you very much!
So which midsize suv would you recommend? I want one, holding onto my funds for 8 months now because I can't make my mind up. I want the best bang for my buck, I want luxurious interior, nice looks on exterior, power, and good on gas. HELP PLEASE ANYONE LOL❤
What do you think of the Ford Edge?
That’s a tough one! I’m guessing you don’t need a 3rd row then? I think this Hyundai is one of the best values as far as features per price..:but not necessarily the most luxurious feeling with power. The edge is similar with feature set but I would prefer to have the Hyundai. I think you would just have to drive everything you’re looking at and see what speaks to you 😁. At these prices maybe look at some luxury models like the Acura RDX 🤷♂️
If your already going at the 40k price suv, you can go for the lexus rx, thats gonna be your best choice on everything you mentioned. Im going with the hyundai though because its larger
@@diegogonzalez9086 I've thought about that too, thanks!! ❤
There are a bunch of alternatives in the smaller midsize category (188"-192" in length). In addition to the Santa Fe, there's the Edge, the Honda Passport, the Chevy Blazer, the Nissan Murano, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Subaru Outback, and the KIA Sorento, as well as others. Most, with the exception of the Santa Fe and the Outback offer V6 engines, some naturally aspirated and some turbocharged. My family's choice was the top trim Sorento SX-L. It's unique in the category with a surprisingly accommodating 3rd row seat as well as an excellent V6 that offers more linear, smooth, and quiet operation than the Santa Fe's turbo4. We also looked seriously at the Edge (as well as others) but my wife (whose daily driver is the family SUV) said she felt like she was sitting at the stern of a long outboard boat in the Edge. That nixed it. The Santa Fe is a very good choice but we occasionally need to transport six or seven passengers to a local destination and the additional seating enables us to take only one vehicle on those occasions. As noted, my wife is the main driver of the Sorento and she regularly gets about 22 mpg in urban/suburban driving and about 26 mpg on long freeway slogs. I have a heavier foot but manage to match her fuel economy when we take a trip.
@@stephenhendricks103 Thanks, I was going to drive the Edge soon. I'll see if I feel the same as your wife Did. Kia is a veey nice vehicle too. I don't know which I will be getting but I'll be glad when I get around to it!! 😊
So, I just got a 2017 model and aside from the extras like blind spot, HUD and such like, I am kinda thinking the older one is the better one, maybe? Change my mind? Happy to be wrong, I still love it. It's the european model by the way, if that is a thing.
Nolan - are u sure the 2nd row seat does not slide forward and back? I test drove a 2019 Santa Fe and they did. In fact, the only reason I did not buy it was because of the turbo lag when accelerating from a stop; it was definitely irritating. I was hoping Hyundai would resolve this issue on the 2020MY. Oh well, guess I’ll keep shopping!
Waiting for the Genesis SUV.
2020 the sliding rear seats were discontinued, which is sad because my 19 has them and they are awesome. they did give you a blind spot monitor that turns on the side view of the car when you turn your signals on
Hamer Player Thanks Hamer. That is disappointing. And I think the new blind spot monitor (trickledown from the Palisade) is only available on the top trim, so not a very good trade off imo.
Simply the best car in the world
Does This Come With Power Side Mirrors? Or Any Option To Have Them?
If you mean folding mirrors - nope. But they are power plus they tilt down when in reverse.
Nice review👍🏻
Thank you!
Oh yes, happy 🦃 day!! Get a turkey meal somewhere and treat someone to a meal too!
Good review & info cation
Thank you!
12:35 Never know when you might need lights on your grab handles
Do the side mirrors fold in automatically? Or manually yourself?
Happy Thanksgiving Nolan
The headlights being that low feels like rocks will damage the glass more on the highway
Happy Thanksgiving Miguel! 😁. Good point...I wonder if they’ll keep making them like this lol
The Murano is a better choice. I have one now. I'm buying a new vehicle and showed the Hyundai, but you get a lot more with the Nissan.
just got bought this car yesterday and i get it tomorrow, i only wanted the front wheel drive , witch is tough to get in the north east , i have no idea why anyone would buy awd with all the crap you gotta do with the tires with the rotations ,,,
Living is south FloriDUH the only time I would be “off road” is if I roll over!
