2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Review | Way more than a bargain SUV.

I would go for this Limited 2.0T trim bc of the fact that it has heated AND ventilated front seats, the panoramic sunroof, the Infinity audio system with Clari-Fi music restoration technology, & other features that make it feel more like a luxury CUV/ SUV. It's almost as nice as Genesis GV80 on a much more attainable budget. I mean the 2021-22 Santa Fe Calligraphy trim looks even more upscale & has more tech & features, that makes it feel even more like a Genesis GV80 but on a more attainable budget with a shorter front end, which makes it easier to drive in cities as well

One of the best car reviews I've seen. Well done!

This SUV has a tremendously large cargo space! Not sure what you are talking about. It's absolutely massive.

Fantastic review!

I'm wore out on reviews.. can someone please tell me simply the biggest differences between the 2019 and 2020? Trying to understand if it's worth more money for the 2020 Santa Fe .

Great car but it's so badly priced! For all the features I want, 40k+, I rather spend it on a luxury car brand. What are they thinking?

The wife and I just bought a 2020 in December, fully loaded for 31600!
This vehicle puts the Ford Edge to shame!

The PCH 😍😍 We did a vacation where we drove up the PCH and it was beautiful!!

can

$40,000 for a car a real bargain? The part of the country where we live, that's one-third of a house mortgage! And then it's worth 20% LESS as soon as you drive it off the lot while the house will appreciate in value!

This guy needs a bra.

Why don't you do a review on the less expensive one not everybody would spend $41,000 and you have to be crazy spend $41,000 on a Hyundai Santa Fe I buy a Toyota Highlander for that price you get a nice V6 engine and reliability

7 why don't they make cars with a 6 cylinder the 4-cylinder stink the crappy if you put a turbo out on the only problem with turbo is it kills the engine faster it won't last that long so I give you advice people if you get in the turbo engine lease the car don't buy it

Hmmm..... The one comment I would make is that since the Santa Fe’s dropped their 6 cylinder options, and just went to 4 cylinder turbo, not everyone is happy. Ever since then, dealerships are trying like crazy to get prior 6 cylinder model owners to turn in their old cars because there is a demand for them. Seems more people want those then the newer models, or moving unnecessarily to the larger Palisade model. You can put a lot of lipstick on it, but it is still a poor choice.

I’m getting this!! So excited! And I like the 2019 and 2020 better than the 2021.

I can only receive text messages when I'm in the "android auto" mode. I don't even get notifications of text messages. No problem making and receiving calls. I have taken it back to the dealer and to an audio store, no one can figure it out. Love everything else about 2020 Santa fe, however running a business, it's important for me to at least get text messages, so I can answer them accordingly.

Hopefully engine does not blow up wht good is a warranty if does not make to 100000 before blown up kia and Hyundai need to fix all motors and recall all tht blown up for tht money buy something with a v6

The Santa Fe is an appealing crossover in a number of ways. At 188" in length it anchors the smaller end of the midsize SUV category with a length virtually the same as the Ford Edge. And while many consumers don't seem to recognize the fact and reviewers seldom mention it, the Santa Fe is closely related to the 189" long KIA Sorento with many of the features and components from the same parts bin (e.g. same transmissions, infotainment systems, AWD systems, etc) and nearly identical cargo and passenger room (in the first and second rows.) Overall the Sorento's cargo space is about 2 cubic ft larger. The differences in the 2020 models are primarily that the Sorento provides a surprisingly accommodating third row of seats when needed versus the two rows in the Santa Fe that has underfloor cargo space that's taken up by the Sorento's (stowed) third row and the Sorento's optional 3.3L NA V6 engine vs the Santa Fe's 2.0L turbo 4. In terms of MSRP's, the top trim Sorento is about $1K more than the comparable Santa Fe but in real world transactions that difference may not hold up.

Hyundai and KIA typically stagger the introduction of new generations of their similar products by a year, or so, with Hyundai typically including new features that show up a year later in corresponding KIA models. That pattern seems to be reversed in this case. The 2021 Sorento is heavily redesigned with a 2.5L 4 cylinder turbo engine option that replaces the V6. It's the same engine (in different tune states) found in the performance versions of the forthcoming Sonata, the K5 and in the base version of the Genesis GV80 and G80. In addition the Sorento will offer a new hybrid version. The 2021 Santa Fe, on the other hand, is a mild re-do of the 2020 model with its engine options and other features largely unchanged. Almost certainly those changes will be incorporated in the 2022 Santa Fe.

As an owner of (my second) KIA Sorento my preference is obvious but both the Sorento and the Santa Fe are excellent, versatile, feature packed and Goldilocks size alternatives. Neither stands out as starkly versus its rivals as much as the Telluride and Palisade but each is an excellent choice.

Needs to be an actual midsize. Don't offer a 3rd row. Overpriced. Both engines are junk, especially the 2.4L. Any recalls yet? Oh if it has the knock sensor blah, blah, blah. I'd only offer this with whatever the Sorento Hybrid offers. On Limited offer an air suspension that will lower the vehicle based on a pre-determined setting to attract older buyers or buyers with disabilities. You are much better off with the Sorento & it's V6.
