Overview & Reviews
One of Hyundai's longest-running nameplates, the Santa Fe is a car-based crossover SUV aimed at buyers seeking the elevated ride height and useful cargo area of a traditional utility vehicle in an easy-to-drive package. Modern versions of the Hyundai Santa Fe are midsize with three rows of seating, quality cabin furnishings and user-friendly tech features. Whether you're shopping for a new or used Santa Fe, value is a big part of its appeal. The standard equipment list is generous, as is Hyundai's warranty coverage.
Earlier versions of the Hyundai Santa Fe range from compact to midsize in dimensions and have seating for five passengers. The 2007 and later models are a big step up in styling, performance and interior space, and they're worth considering if you're shopping for a used midsize crossover. Hyundai has since subdivided the Santa Fe line into two models: the two-row Santa Fe Sport and the three-row Santa Fe. The latter is more luxurious than its predecessors, offering premium styling and plenty of power.

By Robert - October 12 - 4:10 amCompared to the 2005 Santa Fe the 2007 blows it away. The curve handling and smooth accceleration makes the driving exerience more pleasant. Road noise has been reduced also. Great vehicle.

2002 Hyundai Santa Fe LX 4WD V6 - 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe
By E Dawes - October 10 - 3:10 amThis has been a very satisfactory car for me. The features are excellent for the price. It is a bit underpowered for the weight of the vehicle, but Hyundai has corrected that in newer models. The only failure in 5 years has been the interior clock for which a replacement doesnt seem to be available. I am considering purchasing another Santa Fe when I replace my present car.

Surprised - 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe
By John - October 7 - 10:13 amMy wife is having our first baby, and wanted a crossover. Rated very safe, and my brother in law was hit on the side of his sante fe, and rolled the car three times, and walked away from the crash. I drive a lexus, and did not think highly of Hyundai. We bought the limited edition, all wheel drive. This car is a tank, and great in the snow. We both love the car, and on weekends it is my first choice of ride. Hyundai has come along way, and I would certainly recommend this car. Plus we bought it new for 25k, and list price was 32k. They have great deals, and the car is very nice. Heated seats, many amenities. Great Job Hyundai!

Concerns about warranty - 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe
By ML - October 6 - 8:56 pmWe have put 24K on this car. Bought for wife, she hates it, and chooses to drive our 04 accord 100K+miles. The interior scratches easily and there are alot of rattles. The suspension is noisy and a little soft. Other than that it is powerful, comfortable, attractive, and at a great price. The interior is really the place of my frustration in terms of rattles (fixed one, but there are many), feedback noise issue (told me its normal) and seat pocket tears (havent heard back from dealer yet, its been weeks) I am concerned that, regardless of the problem, the dealer will passively resist my concerns. And so, with less than 2 years and 24K I am considering trading.

1 month review - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
By cooldad - September 29 - 12:43 amIve owned this vehicle for 1 month and I love it. Im a commuter and I have almost 3000 miles on it already. Its the most comfortable vehicle Ive owned. Being the Limited it has Leather, Power heated seats. I also have the touring (3rd seat) and Premium (sunroof) package. Love having the sunroof. I have not yet used the third seats. I have 2 kids ages 10 and 7 and they fit fine in the third seats whenever we will need them for there friends. This vehicle will be a fine vehicle for a family with 2 kids on long distance trip. Yay, finally something cooler than the minivans Ive been driving for years!

Love my Santa Fe - 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe
By riceman - September 26 - 10:00 amThis is my second Santa Fe and I love it even more than my first one. I put 100,000 miles on the first one with virtually no mechanical problems. I have owned this Limited for almost a year and had the first & only problem this month, an idler arm pulley. The warranty covered it with no down time. This is a great vehicle and when I trade again, Ill look for another.

Great Car - 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
By Michelle - September 25 - 5:13 pmThis is our first Hyundai and it will not be the last. We are very impressed with the 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. What drew us to the car were the standard safety features. Then when we drove it, we couldnt wait to get it home. It is smooth, comfortable and fun to drive. We looked at the 2006 Santa Fe and we werent that impressed. The 2007 is an overhaul of not just the outside, but the inside. Great value for the money and the Santa Fe is easy on the wallet regarding gas. On ten gallons of gas, strictly city driving, we went 230 miles. I highly recommend this SUV.

Road Trip Test - 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe
By lakeside4 - September 24 - 7:22 amOn a follow up to my first review, I thought I would tell you about our recent road trip. My wife and I just completed a 4,000.8 mile trip up to Vancouver Island, BC and back to central Nebraska. Our Santa Fe performed flawlessly all the way. We drove 69 hours and 17 minutes. Beautiful scenery and a great auto. Never once did either of us get tired butt, not once did we have any issues with our Santa Fe. We spent 11 days out, 10 nights. We stopped in Billings, MT at the brand new dealer facility for a quick oil change. Super comfortable ride and drive all the way up and back. We averaged 24.6 MPG driving 3-7 MPH over posted limit, with quite a few miles logged with 80 MPH limit.
