2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Consumer Reviews

Full transparency, we’ve only owned this for a short period of time and still breaking it in but this is an amazing vehicle. First, be patient when setting up all the technology features and settings - it’s worth it and the amount of features offered on the Calligraphy is amazing. The HUD (heads up display that shows on the lower portion of the driver’s windshield) is now a must for me on every future vehicle. I was one of those that just wasn’t sure about the rear design, and then I looked at it in person. I choose the Atlantis blue with the light gray leather interior and I’m now in love with the rear design. Live and in person, this is an absolutely beautiful vehicle. I absolutely love that it looks like nothing else on the road. It’s also not as large in person as it looks in photos, making it easy to manage on the road. The camera system makes backing up a cinch. Third, the interior quality and comfort absolutely rivals suvs priced $20k more and deserves the kudos it receives from professional auto enthusiasts. A quiet soft ride for sure, especially for its class. I’m not fully used to using the digital rear view mirror but I have no doubt I’ll find it a must have feature. This suv has inspired me now to take a long road trip. There is minimal outside road noise but still much better than the others I test drove - especially when combined with the comfort, this should be at the top of your list to try. Be sure to drive a Toyota and Honda too for comparison. Fourth, I’m not a person that from a full stop floors the gas pedal. I drive on the highway daily, and in city day to day traffic, and the power supplied has been fantastic! Even from a full stop at a red light, I have found the power seriously great. I’ve seen reviews knocking the acceleration and didn’t have high hopes, but I’m seriously impressed. Don’t expect to take big curves at higher speeds, it is a suv after all. We are averaging 34 mpg at normal driving, sometimes better and sometimes lower, but you can’t really measure accurately until after about 4,000 miles (break in period). Being able to achieve almost 600 miles on a full tank of regular gas is amazing. My previous 2017 gas suv was lucky to hit 25 mpg and go a full 340 miles on a full tank. Finally, we have no kids, and this is still the perfect choice for us. I watch an auto reviewer channel named “Micah Drives” and decided to give this suv a chance. I am so happy we did. For what it’s worth, an average guy driving this suv for day to day life loves it. Kudos to Hyundai for breaking the mold and surpassing my expectations in this category - and making it affordable.

We purchased a new 2024 White Santa Fe Hybrid Limited in Oct. 2024. Hybrids are new to us and we will never go back to an exclusive gas engine. Our Santa Fe is the best of all worlds with great gas mileage, comfortable and roomy interior, beautiful styling, TONS of room for people and storage, more tech extras than expected, and rides and handles like a dream. Needless to say, we are thrilled with this car in every way. For the money, we believe it is one of the best buys out there for a 3 row SUV that is beautiful with lots of safety features, turns on a dime, rides like a Cadillac, and best of all, gets great gas mileage! It is averaging around 35mpg and that is mostly surburban driving and lots of traffic lights. We highly recommend the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe.

I purchased the Hybrid Santa Fe Calligraphy AWD around 3 months ago & I just hit 2,000 miles. I love everything about this vehicle from the exterior to the interior. The interior is luxurious, comfortable, quiet, & spacious. The ride is super smooth with the equipped 20” tires. This trim is loaded with conveniency & safety features all programmable through the infotainment system. It did take some time learning the infotainment system with all the features this vehicle is equipped with. If you drive this vehicle the way a hybrid is suppose to be driven you will get amazing MPG I’m averaging 38 mpg HWY & 42 mpg City . The pick up is obviously less powerful then the non hybrid model but the money I’m saving in gas is more important to me. I purchased the Ecotronic Gray Matte paint which I love but didn’t realize the maintenance & cost for the special matte paint car wash needed to maintain the matte finish. The matte paint can only be hand washed & can’t be washed in the sun otherwise streaks will appear and that’s just the beginning. I would recommend doing research before buying the matte finish as it won’t the best choice for all buyers especially buyers who live in apartments who don’t have access to a garage & hose. My only 2 complaints which are minor is there is no where to store your change or sunglasses. Other then that I couldn’t be anymore happy with my purchase.

Cavernous room inside this very smooth, very quiet Hyundai. Well made, super comfortable. Love it or hate it exterior design. The satin bronze color with caramel colored leather interior is super beautiful! A lot of tech, but fairly easy to learn. 3rd row a bit more generous than many SUVs. Best warranty of any vehicle in the market. Navigation works very well (also voice activated). Terrific vehicle that prices out $5000 less than Toyota Highlander equally equipped. Hybrid works automatically & smoothly, and gets overall mileage of 34 mpg for this medium large SUV 👍

I’ll keep this rating short, but bottom line - Wow, when it comes to luxury interior, quiet cabin, smooth ride, and safety features, it’s hard to beat, especially considering it’s MSRP. Making a change from a gas 3 row SUV it did take some time to adapt to a hybrid performance, but can’t beat 34 mpg average (regular gas). The infotainment system I found amazing but again took some effort to set up it all up. We wanted a safe vehicle and with the number of sensors and camera capabilities makes safe driving easy. There are things I wish they included - first being a spare tire. As of now, only the gas SantaFe gets a spare as the hybrid is equipped with a plugin tire air pump. Interior design does not have overhead compartment for sunglasses, nor a convenient place for coin storage. Small things I know, but just a FYI.

I purchased a 2024 Santa Fe Limited AWD Hybrid in June. So far this car has exceeded my expectations. - Great gas mileage - Very quiet ride - All the newest safety features. - The Bronze Matte paint gets alot of compliments.

For a week my wife and I have been enjoying the ride and comfort of a 2024 Santa Fe Hyundai Hybrid Limited. MPG is beyond my expectations as well as the ride. The electronics can be a little overwhelming ( as my children remind me, I’m a boomer). Love the driver assist. 20 inch wheels make a big difference on rough roads. Very quiet except the sound system that is great.
