The DCT doesn't belong in a commuter vehicle of this size and definitely not if you're towing. Hyundai should be using the 8sp auto that Genesis uses

@brokeboy87 Ай бұрын

Well, Hyundai hasn't perfected It, but Porsche still uses a PDK in its SUV.

@tmac2705 Ай бұрын

What do you think about the 1.6l turbo hybrid setup?

@andrewsbbq Ай бұрын

@@tmac2705 the smart stream engines are looking pretty good. All GDI engines can suffer carbon building up on intake valves, so I wish it was MPI, but installing an oil catch-can can greatly help along with GDI valve cleaning products. The hybrid system has been out for years now and is very well received by owners. For 2024 it got improved cooling and slightly more power and torque. I do with it had a heat pump but can’t win em all, especially at the pretty agreeable price that the Santa Fe is

@InlineFlix Ай бұрын

These cars look great imo. The interior is amazing for the price as well.

@RonnN-gf8tm Ай бұрын

The New Hyundai is a major seller. Im seeing these new ones all the time now.Good morning Steve!!!

@kennak476 Ай бұрын

I like the styling, it has that “robo-cop” look. If Hyundai was serious and added articulation, road clearance, tires, suspension, skid plates etc.- they could really go after the 4-Runner market IMO

@ALMX5DP Ай бұрын

1:25 still chuckle when seeing how they oriented the engine cover to make it look like a longitudinal powertrain. Decent CUV though, and they figured out that styling plays a big role in people's perception of how capable or adventurous a vehicle is. This and the new Traverse really transformed their styling despite still being pretty standard CUVs.

Finally a real video testing the awd system. Please do more content like this and of possible more "non paved road" testing such as testing the awd going up a steeper dirt incline or on sandy terrain. Yes its never gonna go full 4x4 but it would be awesome to see how far it can test its limits.

@andrewsbbq Ай бұрын

The hybrid drivetrain is definitely the better choice. Not DCT, way better mileage, good low end. And the Canadian models is really well equipped for the price, sort of a trim between the US SEL and Luxury. Would love to see a similar review of it Mr Elmer!

@jakes5530 Ай бұрын

I agree, but just cant get a hybrid XRT which is a mistake IMO

@jakes5530 Ай бұрын

DCT + off road seems like a recipe for disaster. Some traditional torque converters even overheat off road, I cant imagine how this does…

@brokeboy87 Ай бұрын

Driving Sport TV and the TFL team haven't had good luck with it yet.

@Chris-ut6eq Ай бұрын

Totally agree with Howard, the off-road term has no meaning. Marketing people toss it out so people will feel better about their purchase. Must look at underbody angles (approach, breakover, departure), ground clearance on base vehicle and max tire size that can be added after market, drive system: 4wd type, crawl speed. I'm sure I forgot to add some things.

@theglowcloud2215 Ай бұрын

The new Santa Fe somehow has less ground clearance than my 2012 Santa Fe. Also has like 1" less clearance than the Telluride (unless you buy the XRT trim)

@dannykrauskopf7404 Ай бұрын

Excellent review as always!!! 😁

@nicholassmith7048 Ай бұрын

Agree about it being a rough-roader or all-roader than an off-roader.

@nicholassmith7048 Ай бұрын

In my opinion the shifter isn't too egregious but the capacitive touch buttons certainly are and may be a dealbreaker.

@RonnN-gf8tm Ай бұрын

15:21. Yes I agree totally..PRND21 Always. Totally see Steve's point there

Maybe in the US but internationally it's different.

The new Santa Fe just reminds me of the ford flex

@kyronrc Ай бұрын

Contrary to popular opinion, i think it looks great, a very smart design! This is not a hardcore off-roader like a Bronco or a Jeep, but it will go where most of its buyers want to go!

@Alex-gr7rr Ай бұрын

Reminds me of my old LR4. Looks good!

This vehicle is good overall, but the DCT is a major slap on this new Santa Fe. I smell an emergency facelift coming next year to fix the rear and replacing the DCT with the regular 8spd.

@mjbucar Ай бұрын

Owners ARE ALREADY experiencing problems problems with the DCT. This video could have been A LOT BETTER with more AWD testings on the rollers.

Off-road the passport will do better. The Santa Fe is a soft-roader, but mostly a mall crawler.

@AJSparacio413 Ай бұрын

No comparison the Pilot Trailsport is a more capable and better overall SUV than the Santa Fe even in XRT form!

No spare in something like this is crazy. I don't like the idea of smaller cars not having a spare, but on an AWD SUV its not great...

The spare is underneath the carriage of the car.🤦🏾‍♂️

@jraheemjefcoat429 Ай бұрын

Oh wait, this is not American channel. All Santa Fe turbos has a spare tire. Hybrid models don't have it. Don't know why Canadian market doesn't have a spare.

@joshuasmith8040 Ай бұрын

Couldn’t bring myself to buy a Hyundai even if I like the ‘value for money’ approach…..too many engine issues over the years to trust any turbo engine they produce even if it’s improved.

@jakes5530 Ай бұрын

We’ve had 2, one was flawless, the other was riddled with issues and left us stranded multiple times from overheating. Those 50/50 odds were enough to deter us from buying another the future. Great value proposition, great tech, but not worth it IMHO

Toyota is having problem with their turbo engine as we speak. So take that as a grain of salt.

@backwoodstherapy Ай бұрын

There should be laws about marketing something as "off road." You could put a set of light all terrain tires on literally anything with awd and it woukd be about as "off road" capable as this. I'm not hating on it, it's nice for what it is, but any CUV with a tire swap will perform just as well. There needs to be minimum approach/departure/breakover angles plus ground clearance before something should be legally allowed to he labeled "off road."

@@ALMX5DPlol exactly how I read it too. Someone is angry and jealous. Are they angry with the bronco sport? AT4 Terrain? Crosstrek Wilderness? RAV4 TRD? And so on. This is a cool vehicle with a very nice interior. Hyundai took the old Santa Fe that blended in with the heard and gave it presence.
