This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe mid-size 3-row SUV. The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is powered by a 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder with an 8-speed wet dual clutch transmission, 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft. of torque, standard AWD in Canada. In the US, FWD and AWD drive options are available. You can put regular fuel in this Santa Fe.
There is also a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid model with a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder, a 6-speed automatic transmission with a combined 231 horsepower and 271 lb-ft. of torque. We’ll be focusing on the gas model in our video and will do a separate review for the hybrid.
Standard 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe features include, dual 12.3” screens, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a wireless charger, 7-passenger seating, leatherette upholstery, 8-way power and heated front seats, driver seat lumbar support, a heated steering wheel, sunroof and smart liftgate.
In the US not all these features are standard like the 12.3” digital driver display, instead it’s a 4.2” display, heated front seats, leatherette upholstery, standard cloth, power front seats and a heated steering wheel. These features are available.
A bench seat is offered on all 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe trims except the top trim, captain’s chairs are standard.
This 6-7 passenger SUV is priced competitively. In Canada, 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT (our test model) starts at $49,724 CAD, Luxury $52,724 CAD and Ultimate Calligraphy $56,224 CAD.
These prices include, freight, PDI and fees.
In the US the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe SE FWD/AWD $33,950 USD/$35,750 USD, SEL FWD/AWD $36,450 USD/$38,250 USD, XRT AWD $40,600 USD, Limited FWD/AWD $43,350 USD/$45,150 USD and Calligraphy FWD/AWD $46,500 USD/$48,300 USD.
2024 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD fuel economy, 12.1L/100 km, 20 MPG city and 8.8L/100 km, 28 MPG highway. The gas model can tow 3500 pounds and the XRT trim a little more at 4500 pounds.
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT is the more outdoor focused model in the Santa Fe lineup. It’s priced really well for a 7-passenger SUV at $49,724 CAD/$40,600 USD. Canadian pricing includes, freight, PDI and fees.
The exterior has 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT design elements including a more rugged looking front skid plate and rear bumper, XRT side-door cladding, XRT badging, a black grille and 18” wheels with all-terrain tires. Compared to other Santa Fe models, the XRT can tow an extra 1,000 pounds at 4500 pounds and also has extra ground clearance of 1.3” at 8.3”.
The interior of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is clean and modern with plenty of storage. It only comes with a black leatherette option but has some nice standard features including a bench seat, the larger dual 12.3” screens with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a single wireless charger, conventional sunroof, heated and powered front seats, a heated steering wheel, a smart lift gate and a tire repair kit. In the US, not all these features are standard like a heated steering wheel, a power passenger seat, heated steering wheel and the 12.3” digital driver display. However, you do get a temporary spare tire.

I need to point out that I OWN A 2023 HYUNDAI SANTA FE and with only about 4000 miles on the vehicle the Transmission had a severe lag and drop in speed when shifting between 2nd and 3rd and 3rd to 4th gear. It does have the Duel clutch transmission. I brought it immediately back to my dealership and after their evaluation they informed me that the TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. They will have the Santa Fe for three weeks while it is being replaced. The only good news is that the trans will be replaced for free ( good for 10 years ) and they will give me a loaner. A little inconvenient but all under warranty.

I just traded my 2019 X3 for a 2024 Santa Fe SEL Hybrid. Ive only put 1000 miles on it and so far it’s been great. I love how quiet it rides and the interior materials are far above imo. My friends can’t believe it’s a Hyundai and are most surprised by it. I did a lot of research and I do feel confident in this purchase. 41 grand plus tax seems like an amazing deal to me. My last two cars have been over 65 and 55 grand and I’m just over sinking that much into what is basically an appliance.

Althought it does translate to a lower resale value in most cases, I absolutely love hyundai and kias agressive and constantly changing designs and the comfort. It’s what boosts their sales. And while my 23 forte has no issues and i expect no issues from such a reliable/unchanged powertrain. My mom’s kia sorento 2.5L 8 speed auto non turbo was undriveable for over a month and we’ve been paying for several tows to the dealership (35 miles each way:/) While it would not go into gear and or stalled if it did. They finally admitted to their mistake after “hearing the noise now” however they won’t give us a loaner car as they say they’re still tearing apart the transmission to further diagnose it and she won’t get a loaner until they have the parts and start the repair which should only take 1-3 days they estimate.. Terrible customer service on their part and it’s upset us greatly. While I do love the cars themselves this alone is enough for us to know we will be selling it and getting her a used or new Toyota highlander. Glad we have a warranty on the kia but having to pay for our own tows, diagnosis, and rentals for an entire month already had been costly and they don’t seem to care at all. Edit: I will add the roof rails are VERY helpful when washing the roof like you guys said. I find grabbing onto them and standing on the tires is the only way im able to get the roof clean haha.

Great review, as always. You two bring so much concise information in such a pleasant format. I bought a 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy, 2.5T, 8 speed dct. 17,000 miles in 10 months, zero problems. We love it and may well replace it with this newer Santa Fe in a year or two. Again, no problems with ours.

@ishaansaral502 Ай бұрын

This is an amazing 3 row for the price and space it offers. I think the hybrid is the best option due to being carryover, and more reliable. It is shocking how spacious and practical it is, considering the exterior dimensions. It is 6 inches shorter than the Highlander, but much roomier, cheaper and nicer on the inside. Hard for competitors to beat it for how flawless it almost is. It is also available in Europe since it isn't too large for our roads. The Highlander is considered too large, and has been discontinued in many markets in Europe.

If a DCT worries or you don’t like just buy the hybrid. 6spd standard transmission, 36 mpg. Honestly that’s the model imo.

We have been shopping the redesigned (used 2022/2023) MDX and QX60, yet somehow this new Santa Fe in the Limited Trim level (because bench seat) with it's 10-year warranty is also so attractive and making it a tough decision. Just how you lifted the Santa Fe against the CX-90, I can't believe we're comparing it to a *used* MDX/QX60 and it's holding it's weight. Thanks again for the awesome vid!

I'm going to be honest, I don't think they've really fixed the DCT issue. Ofc most vehicles will be fine, but too many of the ICE 2024 SFs are having transmission issues. If you're gonna get the 2024, get the hybrid. MSRP is very similar and you can justify it with the leap in mpg.

This is the exact same (down to HP and torque) as the Santa Cruz. Yes, there have been some DCT issues with the 22 and early 23 DCTs in the Santa Cruz, so it's always possible that a new model can have issues. I have over 100,000km on my Cruz now and the DCT has been wonderful. I LOVE it. But Hyundai does seem to have a few gremlins with the 2.5T/DCT combo. I wouldn't want it any other way ... well, maybe a hybrid. LOL I've already had my eyes on the Santa Fe Calligraphy to replace my wife's rather unreliable Equinox ... those reclining driver's seats are truly something to experience. Just wish the Calligraphy didn't have the stupid 21" wheels - the 18s on the XRT look fantastic on the Santa Fe. (Dealer had an XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy on the lot last time I was there ... sent me with keys to check them all out. lol)

I like the transmission and how it performs, but there have been problems. I have a 2021 Sorento SX with identical transmission and engine. At about 30,000 miles I started to get some juddering in reverse gear. Took it in to the dealer and they informed me the transmission had to be replaced. Took about a week. The dealer and Kia did a good job taking care of the problem. I now have 52,000 miles and no problems. I just returned to Ohio from a west coast trip where I drove 6800 miles in 30 days and the car ran flawlessly. Traveled 75 to 80 mph for 9 hours a day over several days. Average mileage was 25 mpg and I did the calculations.

I think Hyundai’s drastic design changes tend to visually wear out fairly quickly to me. It’s hot at first but after a few months, it becomes ‘meh’. But this design actually might last awhile. Nevertheless, got to give it to Hyundai for not being afraid to think outside the box - no pun intended.

It’s a shame so many companies don’t allow you to swap wheels to higher profile tyres / lower wheel sizes for better ride comfort - it’s now all about the look with bigger wheel sizes to fill the arches. Talking to some dealers here, the new Sante Fe has just been launched and isn’t flying off the shelves- pricing, hybrid only at launch, styling…

Maybe the software learned bad habits from being field tested and compensates in an unforseen way.

Seen one on the road few days ago... as always, I personally hate low tail lights, most of the times I can't see it, can't see the turn signal, etc... that is what I think. Also... wish vehicle had a larger wheel or design proportion that made it look larger... as of this design... wheels look small compare to vehicle body size. Overall... I PERSONALLY though it did not look as good as from videos & photos. I do love the center console spacing... especially getting rid of gear selector to elsewhere... it's all electronic anyways. Move it away to and make a large open area like this one.

If I wanted a car that looked like a Land Rover, I would buy a Land Rover. If I wanted 2nd row bucket seats and a third row, I would buy a mini van. I own a 2021 Santa Fe Calligraphy that drives well and I like a lot. I planned to trade in for a 2025, but not now. Mazda CX50 now seems to be a better fit for me.

Hyundai interiors are really very good. And it's a good thing they have that warranty. It's still a great value regardless of gremlins.

How do you believe it is a value when it has gremlins?

@@littlsuprstrWarranty doesn’t mean much when they deny warranty or use refurbished parts. Someone I know had transmission issues on his Elantra N, was denied warranty as “warning lights weren’t on”.

Its design cues come from the Land Rover, the Ford Flex, the Chevrolet Tahoe, and the Chevrolet Traverse.

3rd row seats should be completely (and easily) removable to expose a full length flat floor large cargo area MM, wish would talk a bit about driving position ergonomics and visibility From being a forum member, we noticed H has a few issues with all new models, issues ranging from faulty (costly) injectors on turbo engines, to troubled transmissions that may or may not have a real fix. Engines overall seem better done on their more expensive models - while models such as Elantra may still be troubled in the engine department. Too bad this company finds it acceptable to rush in production complex new transmissions. The least reliable long term models are the hybrids while their EV have been troubled by strange issues, including the braking system. Generally speaking H warranty is very good but their repair time is usually long, due to their overload with faulty GDI engines.

They tried dual clutch transmissions in big trucks, but with two clutch pedals you couldn’t work the gas pedal.

The old model just looked very classy I think. It seems like kinda a weird change to make a vehicles identity so different

The Koreans came a long way from their 90's -2000;s period where their cars were atrocious yet ppl seem to be attracted but suspicious at the same time to their offerings. The price is interesting considering what they offer but the long term reliability is really a gamble. Could get a solid one and have 0 problems or can get one that would drain your wallet. Granted they give 5 yrs or 100.000 km warranty but it seems that Hyundai dealers(service departments) are also a hit and miss. If you add to that we don't have the same lemon laws in Canada like in the US you will be left at the mercy of the dealers/Hyundai Canada in case something bad happens. Long story short I would lease one if that back wasn't as ugly (sorry but the LR/RR are elegant this is not) and if it didn't have a DCT (DCTs are not inherently bad, if you look at VW who's been using them for years) DCTs are complicated transmissions to work on and to service if you have an issue with it. Ah and the gas mileage is ...meh.

@ic_0129 Ай бұрын

In the last year that I've visited the dealership for maintenance, at least five customers were there either picking up their vehicles that just had their DCT replaced or they were experiencing a lot of jerking and loss of power when accelerating. I was there last month and a customer was there complaining that his 2024 Santa Fe only had 2000 km and was really jerky. I used to have an elantra GT but with the 7spd DCT and that got really jerky after 40k km and they had to replace the transmission. I like the interior of this SUV but would definitely go with the hybrid.

I really like that they are willing to try different designs and styles. Unfortunately, I haven't liked their latest attempts. This Santa Fe looks ok from the front, but the "H" lights front and back look like 16-bit dog bones to me, and the rear end looks like a giant Frankenstein forehead. The interior looks nice, though.
