2020 Hyundai Santa Fe Reviews

I’ve got a 2020 Santa Fe limited and been having issues with the electrical and lane departure. The day before thanksgiving when going to work I passed a car and after I got back in my normal lane the lane departure kicked in and pulled me into oncoming traffic. I had a head on collision and got hurt pretty bad. We loved this vehicle so much but this is a badsafety issue. I’m lucky to be alive. The wheel wouldn’t let me turn it and then after I went airborne and hit the ground I lost brakes too.

I have a 2020 Santa Fe Limited with about 4,700 miles on it. I have had an annoying rattle in the right rear seat since probably around 300 to 500 miles. I've taken it to the dealer (Chapman Hyundai on Bell Road - Phoenix) multiple times, and while they acknowledge that there is a noise, they claim that "it works as designed". I've called BS on this many times, as the rattle disappears when I have a passenger in the right rear seat and/or the rear seats are folded flat. If it's truly working as designed, I feel that this is a design flaw that should be handled by Hyundai. Yesterday, the Service Manager told me that there's nothing that can be done, and they're not willing to work on the situation any more. I've also been back to my salesperson, asking to trade me for an equal vehicle, but he said that inventory is too low, and ultimately he advised me to sell the vehicle to Carmax if I'm unhappy.

Love the car...Dealer paid oil and filter changes to 36k miles.. Car rides SMOOTH.. Is Quiet.. I get around 27 mpg on average... The Turbo is Great-- it gives the car the power it needs when needed unlike the 2.4 non turbo which was too week.. Glad I got the turbo!! No issues with the car to this point and I can not say enough good things about all the Tech gadgets this car has.. Love all the cameras to get the top down view, ventilated seats are great in Atlanta in the summer and heated steering wheel is excellent in the winter! I would buy the new 2021 2.5 liter turbo- limited if I had the money!!! Looks cool like the palisade inside !!!! Enjoy

I just bought my santa fe limited 2.0 a couple of weeks ago. I haven't had any problems, and I do not expect to have anything go wrong for a long time. Hyundai offers a 10 year warranty on some parts of the car. This car is very lexus-like without the lexus price tag. I have black leather seats, a fully-functional infotainment system, a pano sunroof, and heated seats and steering wheel. If you haven’t test-driven a hyundai, I highly encourage you to shop the different models and trims and select the one that best fits your needs.

I purchased a 2020 Sante Fe a week ago and hate this vehicle. The gurgling engine is SO loud, shifts SO loudly and there are vibrations in the gas peddle. The engine noise is so loud is makes driving this vehicle very unpleasant to drive. And so much noise trying to listen to the radio is difficult. The vibration makes me feel like I am driving Fred Flintstones automobile. This vehicle is very pricey to have these issues. The sad thing is I test drove this vehicle on two different occasions and didn’t notice these issues. And I had a Santa Fe previously and loved it. I’m heartbroken over this purchase. Buyer beware.

Love the SUV, but you can't rely on it to start. This is the only vehicle I've owned in 20 years that has had a mechanical (electrical?) starting problem. After just over a year, I would randomly press the start button and nothing would happen. The starter wouldn't engage. Battery fine. All the lights, etc. Came on fine, but silence when the start button was pressed. Other times when pressing start, the starter would kick on normally and it would run fine. Taking to dealer. My guess is the vehicle will be in the mood to start and they will say, "No problem found". But the car is unusable as is.

I love everything about this car. I have had leather seats in my car for 20 years but this time I decided to skip the leather and I have loved my fabric seats! I love the seat warmers. I love that it does not get too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. Spills clean up nicely as well. I went from an Elantra to the Santa Fe and I am enjoying the extra room. My son's feet are not hitting the back of the seat and he enjoys the extra room. The safety features are great and I love the alerts the car gives me like “‘consider taking a break’ with a coffee mug lighting up.” that came on when I was taking a long trip and might have been slowing down every once in a while to hand my son a snack. I love my Hyundai and have enjoyed every piece of it!

My 2020 santa fe is so comfortable and feel like a luxury car without the luxury price. It has shades for the windows in the backseat for privacy and comfort and the back seats recline. I love the panoramic sky roof. The front seats have heated seats and dual temperature control which is nice for the driver and passenger. The suv is great on gas for it to be a suv. It has great driving assistance features such as lane keeping assist, blind spot collision warning, rear view camera, safe braking.

The Hyundai Santa Fe is a great car for families. We are a family of four and all of us fit comfortably in the vehicle. I have the ltd trim, so my Santa Fe has all of the conveniences a person would want. There are a lot of driver assist features, like automatic braking with sensors when backing up, a hold switch that allows you to remove your foot from the gas or break when sitting still, brake assist downhill, lane change and blind spot warning. You can adjust the driver's seat up, down forward back, lean in, straighten up with lumbar support and memory. You name it the car has got it. The heads up display is awesome, it tells you your speed as well as the speed limit on the road you are traveling on. I was not sure about the pick-up so I bought the AWD turbo and it performs when pushed. Overall I recommend this car. The only thing it does not have is automatic fold in\out mirrors.

I purchased a 2020 Sante Fe Sel with the convenience package two months ago. I now have 1200 miles on it and the engine noise on start up is extremely loud, there is a loud buzzing sound and the values are very loud. The engine noise while driving is beyond acceptable. I have also been experiencing wind noise coming from both front windows. I really regret purchasing this vehicle, I should have stayed with the gut feeling to avoid it but I kept telling myself it was going to be a good purchase but it has not been.

The 2.0t ultimate Santa Fe is an amazing SUV. I love how quick it is and how it handles. The sport mode adds extra pep and makes it fun to drive. I get around 27 to 31 mpg on the highway. The only problem so far is sometimes when it starts it seems to struggle like the engine is flooded. Also, the auto stop feature when you come to a red light is aggravating. You can disable this at the push of a button. This vehicle is in my book a 5 star purchase.

We bought this car after we had a baby because we needed to upgrade to a safe family car. We needed good gas mileage also because our daily commute is not small. Great gas mileage for the size and super comfortable for all passengers. The only things we have have not enjoyed are the back seat air conditioning which is not great. And the trunk does not have a light in it which makes retrieving groceries in the dark a little difficult. Overall we have been very happy with our purchase.

The best thing about this car is the seat cooler and heater. Most cars only have heaters but this car has a cooler too and both also have 3 different settings. The back seat also has a heater setting! The wheel also has a heater setting which is perfect for the winter. Another cool thing about the car is that it has a place to set down your phone and it charges automatically, no cord. I feel really safe in the car because it beeps when you drive over or on the line. Overall, a really good car!

My father has a sante fe , the wheel has locked up 3 times now. He called as couldnt find steering wheel fluid to check and they told him that all the newer SUVs don’t have a compartment for steering wheel fluid. It is all computerized.it has happened three times in the past 3 -4 weeks. They told him to switch off the car and restart it, it’s just a glitch like when the computer needs rebooted. They said there is a module you can put in if it happens too often, so they know this and then want to charge you for the module to fix their hazard. Will NEVER buy a Hyundai after this

This car has amazing safety features. The blind spot detection and lane keeping assist makes the driver feel much safer when traveling. The car is comfortable to drive, especially for back seat passengers. The back seats can recline your provide extra comfort on long car trips. One of the greatest features of the vehicle is the large storage capacity. In the trunk, there is a storage space where a spare tire typically is stored (spare tire under vehicle). I have had this car for 3 months so far and have driven it every day. I have not had any issues.

I love my Hyundai Santa Fe! It is a great size SUV, it does not feel too big which is why I chose the Santa Fe over the Tucson. It happened to work out that I got the convenience package and I am so glad I did. It has window shades which come in handy for my little one who rides in the back. Apple carplay is also a game changer, I love all of its features and cannot imagine living my life without it now. I enjoy the lane assist, I was hesitant at first, but it most functions to provide alerts and does not necessarily feel overpowering. Overall, I really love the way this SUV drives. It is smooth, quiet and gets good gas mileage for its size.

The biggest issue with my vehicle is the lane assist. While it is a safety feature I think at times it proves to be more dangerous than helpful. It will jolt my car and almost cause an accident at times. I have had to turn it off because it scares me. The trim inside it very nice and I love the seats. They are so much more durable than leather. I also love the screen inside and the air vents in the back seat. The car is also very spacious with lots of storage space.
