انا لا احب استرن عكس

هذا سيار نمر ابيض قوي جميل 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I think the Santa Fe is awesome. I like the style and i love the two tone leather interior. i am going to buy one 👍😊

There was a railroad called ATSF or Santa Fe for short

Which exterior colour is this?

Love the review ,a great looking car . Anyone know the colour of the car ,looks great

Love it

HI Tom, can you confirm the colour in this video.
Is it magnetic force?

The V6 is not a GDi engine, but a MPi engine..!!

They should have gone for the 2.5Turbo petrol, a better engine all around and plenty of space for an AWD as it fits the GV70 nicely (no excuse for space)... Same for the Palisade...

This or Sorrento Tom?

Great review. Can you demo the acoustics of the music system in future reviews? Nice to have.

I know it’s not relevant for everyone but would be great if these videos had a quick clip showing what a car seat/capsule looks like installed.
Would think most people in this buying range have young ones.
I have a qashqai and looking to upgrade as the qashqai is too small to fit car seat/capsule and sit comfortably in the front + not enough room in the boot for two kids worth of crap.

What color is it?

I test drove this Santa Fe today and its very plush with a vast array of features (i.e., well provisioned could spend days working it all out) much better than the RAV 4 Cruiser. The front seats are both electric very comfortable with two pre-set driver position buttons near the top of the driver door.. In particular, the rear seats were the most comfortable I have ever experienced and sit up very well for vision. I almost immediately got used to the push button (DRNP) auto gearbox - worked great. I never drove a diesel turbo before that is so quiet and nor the usual truck like diesel noise (sounded very much like a normal petrol engine). The turbo has a short lag (like most turbo's) but fly's when it kicks in, when you take your foot off the accelerator it tends to want to keep flying for a brief second. The turbo is not that powerful going up a steep hill with an accelerated burst but its more than enough. Very quiet car. Great seating position for viewing traffic. Drove past a current Nissan X-Trail which seemed small by comparison. You feel like king of the road driving this beauty. The electric rear tail door works brilliantly - so much smoother, quicker and quieter than the RAV4. Absolutely loved the very clear heads up display on the lower part of the windscreen - it tells speed, direction (NSEW), the digits are white when under speed limit and go orange when over (without a noisy voice saying you exceeding speed limit like the RAV4). The unit also warns when aproacing a red light camera (must have a great satnav unit - very accurate).
Loved the digital speedo/taco which can change colours and as your parking or putting on indicators it shows the gutters and any blind spot cars
The things that I could knock are:
*Although 20" wheels, it feels small road bumps a bit, although the large wheels handle small holes in the road great (crushes them)
* The rear turn indicators sit low near the bumper bar - should have remained high near stop lights
* The extra feature round large dial just under the automatic gearbox push buttons (on the console) is a bit weak/plasticy - should have been made more solid (it flexes a tiny bit)

Tom. Looks a great package, better value than a bmw

how much price for that car?

The Koreans are really putting out some amazing cars now. I'll be in the market for a new car within the next 6 weeks. Torn between this Santa Fe Highlander or the Kia Sorrento GT-Line. They both look like awesome cars. Love the dark interior trim with that caramel leather.

Audi napustio, drugi preuzeli

great video price is high $68k turbo sounds ok diesel im not a big fan petrol ok but expensive 10 litre a 100km so have to think about this one but everything explained properly how about dash cam or even windscreen wipers does the lights ome on automatic raining does it come on auto

Are the leather seats in the lower trims quilted like the top trim? I know the top trim is Nappa leather?

Hi Tom, any chance of a direct comparison between the all-new 2021 Subaru Outback AWD Touring and the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Highlander.

THIRD ROW LIVES MATTER!

For some reason....... I’m just not a fan of Korean cars ...... I think they are just overpriced and not as reliable as Japanese cars, anyone?

The Santa Fe existed far before 2018 in the US. It also costs a lot less in the US, where it is built. We can get cloth seats in the SEL.

I don't like front grill. Looks like a fish. The previous grill/front facia looked better imo.

That’s a unique and distinctive looking car. The interior looks pretty nice, too. With the new long wheelbase Tucson coming out within the next few months, this new Santa Fe is more suited to people looking for a more roomy and comfortable compact/sub-midsize CUV. BTW, anybody know where this video was filmed? Hardly any traffic and very nice.

Excellent review.
Other reveiwers mentioned something about the underchasis of the 2021 Sante fe being different and improved from the outgoing model. You say it feels the same. Could you please comment?

When seen them on the road, I've thought, wow! Very nice

Just saw the Palisade review from John Cadogan. Seems like external dimension wise, the Palisade design is just a tad longer than the Santa Fe but costs on average 11k more (base trim to base trim). Think Palisade is very North American boxy design like those FBI/CIA vehicles (Suburban, Yukon, Tahoe) which some people may like

where is that location you done the test drive?

Would be good to get self parjing review

Nice review. Next time maybe skip recording in the middle of a cicada's nest! The noise drove me nuts!

Hideous

It’s look way too unique and solid car . The designers takes some risks. And it’s works well. Not to mention for example audi cars looks the same thing for decade

Why do so many car manufactures split the frontlights? This looks so ridiculous imo.

I think the idea of having a central console, separating the driver seat and the passenger seat is not so good. It kind of feels disconnected somehow.

A review on MG ZS Ev perhaps...?

Too many electronic gizmos . Prefer to drive a car myself no have alarms and automatic braking etc.
Don't need whiz bang audio,. Give me a CD player and a radio cassette.
Way too dear. Nope.

So glad we've found your channel... nice to actually have in depth reviews - rather than the 5 minute bites from others.

Its a brilliant drive & a fantastic vehicle. The diesel is undoubtedly the pick of the range. This update will now last until late 2024 when a refresh should be due. Hybrid/PHEV will eventually be seen locally as well. Pass on the Euros & put your backside into better value Korean made vehicles.

I like to see the designers took risk

I really like this shape of the Santa Fe, since it was first introduced. It looks really good and stylish. Totally amazing update of the interior of this car. It looks very very smart. Great that it still comes with 2 different engine types as well. Great work Tom!

Please review the new Skoda Superb Sportline

Would you prefer this car or the kia sorento 2021 GT?

Still the best car review channel.....you helped me choose my new car this year mate. Have a great Christmas Tom

Why did they ruin the Santa fe? I love my 2003 Santa Fe. I am looking to get a newer one but all of this makes me want to just keep my Golden Gunther.

A bit of tig wiggle for you. Htrac is fwd during normal operation. It operates just like 4motion’s haldex center differential (waits for slip) That’s how we get good gas mileage for an ‘awd’ vehicle
