FIRST DRIVE: the all new Santa Fe is here and Hyundai has made a ton of changes. On the outside you will discover and all new shape, 18in wheels and full LED lighting. On the inside you will be greeted by a spacious interior, (2) 12.3in screens and leather style seating. Under the hood is a 2.5L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 277HP & is mated to an 8-speed DCT. Is the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe a BETTER midsize SUV than a Toyota Highlander?

Picked up a 2024 Santa Fe XRT last weekend, first 24 Santa Fe in my area. Love it. Moved up from a Forte GT, extremely satisfied with my purchase. One of the quietest vehicles I have been in. Tons of value for the money.

Why is the rear view mirror for EVERY vehicle I sit in (except the Ford Mustang) directly in my line of sight and obstructing my view? I'm 6' 3" and nobody but a few people in some online forums bring it up. How is it not standard to be able to adjust the mirror higher so it doesn't block tall drivers' view of the road? It's really annoying. Seems like manufactures don't know that people over six feet tall exist.

Made/built/assembled in USA montgomery alabama (expect lemons on some) 2. Trans+engine are made in china 50%, usa 40% and only 10% from korea. Check the window sticker for a proof. Especially this one is 4cyl turbocharged (expect highly maintenance and expensive maintenance/short lifespan due to more parts needs to maintain properly working)

Too small to compete with the Highlander, but if you need something bigger than a Rav4/Tucson, with a lot of style, this is the ride. I bought a new Tucson Hybrid last year, and it was great. I love the new styling directions Hyundai/Kia/Genesis are going. Very exciting appealing entries, that offer more than price/value. These are vehicles you want! Definitely more stylish than. a Highlander

@RaitisRides wow that's great news Joe! Thanks! Will have to take an HDA2 equipped Santa FE for a test drive--- Definitely a big fan of HDA1, but on some freeway curves--- still have to help it by steering-- would rather the system do the whole curve confidently! Thanks!

@WordsMatter1982 wow that's great news! Currently have HDA1 and on some freeway curves I have to help it by steering some thru the curves. It sounds like the newer HDA2 holds the car thru the curves more confidently! Thanks!

Picked up a SEL for my wife yesterday and she’s very excited!! Funny you mention the Defender. One of the biggest reasons she chose this was because it looks like a Range Rover (her favorite vehicle but way out of our price range), so this was a good alternative. I drove it and it’s actually really fun!! Much more enjoyable than my ‘22 F-150 lmao

An F-150 with either Ecoboost or 5.0 would be fun based on how much power they make. Wouldn't expect a truck to handle good or be fun to drive compared to a CUV.

Looks like Hyundai is aping designs again. Land Rover made love to a Tacoma and had a baby. Add in bad Atari graphic running lights up front and too low in back. Glad I got my 21 SEL just before New Years. You did a comprehensive review as usual 👍

The auto world brings such a wide array of viewers. So many negative comments that are unfounded. Hyundai is a proven brand with decades of countless accolades from JD Power. Original owners get a great 10 year warranty that I’ve never had to use on any of the Hyundais I’ve owned, in fact no dealer time at all. I see the prices are climbing but they are on everything. This may be a new transmission but their previous DCT’s were excellent and so much better than the going CVT trend from almost every other brand out there.
