This looks like the Ford Flex. I always knew the Flex was ahead of its time

I hope the helmet bit in the intro never goes away

please don't ever remove the i8 helmet clip from the intro... it gets me every single time... i love this so much!

My wife got one in early February and its been a great vehicle. I let a couple of Mercedes engineers crawl over it (I live near their Alabama plant) and they were quite impressed with what Hyundai has done.

" It's bisectional" lost it 😅😅😂 thanks guys

04:10 Finally a car not running on 22-24" wheels, give those chunky tyres with normal sized wheels some love people, they ride _NICE_

It's hilarious that all your SoCal videos take place around where I grew up and hung out forever. Warms my heart to see the old stomping grounds.

I think it looks nicer in real life than photos. Saw it in white in calligraphy and think it looks fresh.

As a dad with small children I fully endorse the consistent bad dad joke level humor

Wife and I picked up a Bronze Matte Limited AWD this past week. I'll never not call it a bisectional center console after this video.

A car I would have never have had a second thought about without a Throttle House video of it. I'll be honest, as a dad with the potential to have more than 1 child in the future this seems like a super reasonably priced 3 row seating SUV. It might not necessarily be the greatest looking vehicle ever but in my opinion it looks way nicer and more expensive than the previous Santa Fe models. Looking at it I'd have had no idea it was a Hyundai having never seen it before. Love the channel, definitely gives off OG Top Gear vibes, and love what ya'll are doing. Came for the Lotus content, stayed for the humor, entertainment, and excellent car content!

My wife got the Kia Sorrento, this one’s brother/sister/cousin and it’s very very nice. Got the X line with the baseball glove interior and it looks great. It has what I can only describe as Lamborghini wheels which also look great. Hyundai and Kia really are killing it in the suburban grocery getter upscale yet affordable market.

I picked up a Calligraphy in green this weekend. I quite like how it looks. But I'm coming from a Ford Flex, so boxy is the name of the game.

Y’all really are the benchmark for car reviews. I could care less about a Hyundai SUV but I just watched the whole video because you guys made it. Doing something right

every video is so solid from you guys. always excited to see new content, making anyand every car feel intriguing

Good timing - I had one of these tailgating me all the way across town this weekend, and so I couldn't help but realize it was the first one I've seen on the street. They do look pretty good in person - boxy works for SUVs.

Thomas being goofy has to be my favourite thing

don't have the bell icon turned on for anyone else but these dudes. reminiscent of top gear. watching their videos not for the car, but for the camaraderie of these two.

I can't believe it took me so long to subscribe to you guys. Great content. Great videos. Great reviews. Keep it up!

Hyundai as has stepped so much in recent years. never seen such a glow up from a car company

Other than the tail light placement, design looks nice as does the overall package. Agree with Thomas, i could see my mother in one of these

New throttle house video makes my day

I live right where you filmed this and the last video. It’s so cool knowing every street you are testing cars on. If you guys are in town still you should go to Supercar Sunday this weekend. Tons of car enthusiasts meet every Sunday with every type of ICE car you can imagine.

I saw one of these for the first time the other day. Its a good looking vehicle. Really reminds me of a Ford Flex. Similar proportions, boxy, roomy, etc.

You both have the best and most accurate pronunciation of Hyundai of all reviewers. Way to goooooo!!!!

Much love for throttle house, always a good day when yall drop

The soundtrack in this video is really nice. Kudos to whoever makes the selection 👌🏻👌🏻

I had 2010 SantaFe. Drove for 250k miles without major issues. It's actually very good, reliable car. I think Hyundai is better than all Japanese brands except may be for Toyota.

The improvement that Hyundai and Kia have made to their brand and quality of their vehicles in the past 20 years is mind blowing.

Love the intro! The "enjoy the show!" at the end makes it feel like an actual TV series. You guys do amazing work!

Throttle house, are best car reviewers ever. Even with folks like top gear paving the way, I would argue their charm and attitude make them the best in the last 20 years of car reviews. They make every review worth watching. Even when it's not a car I'm interested in. When there is a car I'm interested in, no matter who reviews it previously I anxiously wait to see if Thomas and James will give their view as I hold their opinion above all others. I excitedly wait to see what jokes and critical analysis they put together to both entertain and inform me. Thank you for everything you guys do. I hope you have many years of success and fortune ahead.

I like your reviews SO MUCH that I made it halfway through a review of a Whatever Santa Fe. Well done gents!

Really tempted to buy one of these thanks for the awesome review as always

I bought one of these about two weeks ago. It’s a limited, FWD, and white with tan interior. Super practical with great tech and ride. So far I really like it. I also like the boxy styling personally. There are going to be a million of these on the road for what you get for the money.

You guys are the best! Love youse! Great review, per the usual.

Ok, I knew it looked like a Defender, but reality never hit me as hard as this video at 8:10 when you guys put the Defender and the Santa Fe pictures next to each other!!!! They are identical!!

I love it, trying to hold out for the PHEV in 2025 though. Supposedly will have 60ish miles electric with their new system.

thank you for showing friendship in your videos, that’s what makes your channel the best

I love these guys. They work so perfect together

Alright guys, it's been said a few times but I am going to say it again : you picked up where the Clarkson era Top Gear left off. Keep up the excellent work.

They seem to have taken design cues from various manufacturers. As pointed out it screams Ford Flex. The front end has a definite Land Rover vibe and the boxy protruding wheel arches scream GM/GMC

I love that Hyundai brought back the ford flex. That was nice of them.

You are driving two blocks away from my house! I started watching you guys 2 years ago when you were in Canada, then saw you get to SoCal, now you are on Lynn road and Potrero, my house is on the old part of Potrero directly in front of the mountain you are using as a background! If you keep going like this, you’ll be filming on my front lawn by next week…😊

“Bisectional”…..😂😂😂😂you guys rock.

Introducing the Hyundai Flex 💪🏼

Yall. Great content. Thank you. Keep going. PLEASE

You guys hit the nail on the head. It's fine. If it's to your taste and you're not a big car performance enthusiast, this is an affordable, functional option.

Beautiful scenery out there on those mountain roads guys, nice job.

Love that you guys are doing more economy cars, like from Hyundai & Kia. It would be awesome to get your views on the Kia Forte GT!

You guys are the best! Funny and really good content. “Bisectional” “It is 2024 after all! “ 😂😂

I love the Santa Fe, I’ve got the 2007 Santa Fe and it drives like a dream and is still super comfy despite its age! And I’ve ridden in some of the newer ones really upped the game. Solid and fun cars all around

While there are not many defenders here in austria, my neighbor got one of these a week ago. Of course he is single. While I personally think its a cry for help, it has not stopped my other neighbors from starting a riot against said new Santa Fe driver. People here are not that used to 2m high boxes, which are also freed from all emission taxes because we only get the hybrid ones. 🤣 Love the smoking exhaust in every back shot 😋

I wanna see you guys review the Kia Forte GT. Manual or DCT. I'm no car enthusiast but I really love my Forte. It's fun, practical, and didn't break the bank. It's cool seeing Hyundai and Kia picking up the pace too.

always enjoy a more "normal" vehicle reviews, keep up the great work!

The Ford Flex lives!

Love the content❤❤❤❤

i love recognizing the roads when you guys are in socal

Nice to hear your Discovery 4 is continuing to live up to it's reputation lads. As someone who lives a few miles from the Solihull factory it makes me proud. 😂 👍🏻

I don't know a single JLR owner who has ever even had a thought flash through their head about taking it anywhere wetter than the swimming pool carpark so I'd say this is definitely a defender rival. Love the lights on it!

Thomas only focusing on how James' says "Innovative".. instead of listening to what he has to say, and then interrupting him 15 seconds later... i think that speaks for all of us in that moment.

Hey! I love that road. I live about 3 hours away and I own a Hyundai (My first new car) and I got it from Victorville Hyundai which is 45 min away( my sales guy was great) ...But I Drive to Oxnard Hyundai every time I need dealer service cause of how terrible Victorville service/warranty has been. Oxnard guys are great. Plus that drive is great!

Favorite channel, I wouldn’t own a Santa Fe, but as soon as I saw this video I wanted to watch it. Please review a Yukon/Sierra Denali Ultimate at least on extra throttle house they are my dream vehicles

I was behind one of these in traffic the other day and couldn’t figure out if it was brand new or 10 years old. It just has that….look

The intro is so actually 😂👍

Dont tell the guys over at Donut, but you guys are definitely my favorite automotive channel. I have no interest whatsoever in a Hyundai Sante Fe, yet here I am, enjoying every minute of your video. Thank you. #bisectional

The laugh got me

New mics? Your in car voices sound great!

Bisectional gag legit made me giggle

I love your guises channel. It makes me think of Top Gear with a fun and funny twist❤❤❤❤

I'm a big fan of how this looks (aside from what feels like oddly low tail lights) and when I sat in one at a car show, I was amazed at how spacious it was! I think this is gonna be a big success for Hyundai!

The glow-up from last gen's Santa Fe is rather impressive, and I may actually give this thing a go in the future. Gonna wait until at least 2027 or so to try it, since I'm not one to buy the first year of a new generation, but it's hard to find a bad angle for this SUV. Well, aside from the rear. Not sold on that aspect.

The New Ford FLex!

I like and appreciate that you were both Honest, unlike some others who just say everything is great 🙂

Off-Road Surprise As noted, select crossovers are showing some unexpected off-road prowess. My 2019 Santa Fe, for example, holds its own against friends Subarus in terms of ground clearance, Clarence and suspension. The AWD lock function even feels like it makes a difference. Throw on some good tires, and this thing could handle light off-roading like basic BLM (the Land Mgmt) camping or exploring backroads. I'm really digging the look of the rumored XRT version - fingers crossed it becomes a solid reality with options. On-Road Champion Of course, these SUVs truly shine on pavement. The current "Smart Sense" suite, with its adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, is arguably up there with the very best in the industry. The technology simply works flawlessly on mine. These comfortable cruisers are also surprisingly rugged.

I've heard that the engine and transmission were carried over from the pretty good looking 4th generation (the outgoing model). That means that any engine and transmission issues that weren't fixed in 2023 were probably carried over to this "all-new" model.

Santa Fe is actually really well-made car. I know there are some complains about Rand rover’s identity and weird shape of rear tail gate. If you want to get the most compliance space and tech in that price range, I would recommend Santa Fe.

Music game was super on point this episode 👌

I was surprised how big of a difference there was between the SEL version (the one you tested) and the Calligraphy version. The Calligraphy version has a WAY nicer interior.

Well it looks like a defender but at least we can get it insured.

If there was an 8 legged insect on it you could call it a “boxer spyder”

The ending was hilarious! 😂 thnx forthe laugh

Throttle House: The only channel that makes me WANT to watch a review on a Santa Fe.

It looks like a Ford Flex up front. And like a SsangYong Turismo in the rear.

seeing the steering wheel is so funny. like you said it is so defender

I’m so glad the get in helmet is still in the intro. That little *dink* sound really puts me in the right mood for some TH

Great vid. Now i want one 🎉

Do one with the BYD Seal guys!

Hyundais constant evolution is amazing

Been waiting for you to cover this

My beloved my 2nd Gen. Sante Fe still holds up..😬🥰

Hyundai is coming out with some of the greatest designs in the world right now, genuinely. Boxy or not

I respect Kia and Hyundai trying to move up market, but they have a dark history of reliability and build quality issues to overcome before I'll be willing to trust that they're "killing it". The ignition column/key issues that were bad enough to become a viral trend are just the tip of the iceberg. I wish them the best but I think many consumers aren't ready to trust them

Ah, finally. Been waiting for this

I always thought it was pronounced like "Sunday" like that commercial from a while back. But I'll start saying "heeeundai" like you guys do because I trust you with my life and my happiness and eventually my firstborn.

those taillights are the worst

I have so far seen it only in video and photos, but I love it, it is beautiful and it looks perfect. Boxy as a car should be. It comes to our market in the middle of the year. I think I want the XRT one.

😂 I straight up LOL'd at 13:30. It REALLY DOES look that similar

Now that is a great box for Solid Snake to hide in!!!!! Really it does look like a box... and it most likely drives like one too.

So my friends make fun of me for rounding up to 6'6" (I'm 6'5" and change) and you guys are totally giving Harrison the extra credit. What good friends you are. I'm finding new ones who support my exaggeration.

proof that I'll watch anything you guys make, even a video about a suv I'm not interested in...but still loved the video. good job guys.
