Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe ($33,950 USD starting, $40,999 CAD starting) is all new for 2024 and has a boxy design which aims to provide lots of interior space and exterior style. A hybrid option is coming soon, but for now the powerplant is a 2.5 L turbo 4 cylinder with 277 horsepower and 311 lb ft of torque. But how is it as a daily driver? And how does it compare to the competition? Thomas and James are excited to spend some time with the new Santa Fe. We hope you enjoy the episode! And then subscribe, silly.

This looks like the Ford Flex. I always knew the Flex was ahead of its time
The flex should have never gone away it was a great little suv
looks nothing like a flex. see it in person first you'll know
Flex was such great vehicle.
Flex/MKT wera ahead... the Santa Fe has a few similarities in passing but I dont get flex vibes
First thing I thought of as well.
I hope the helmet bit in the intro never goes away
Everytime I get into a car I remember it and chuckle a little bit, I too hope it never goes away
Me too!
I hope they bring back the punching bit
Long live the helmet smack 🫡
It has to stay.
Wife and I picked up a Bronze Matte Limited AWD this past week. I'll never not call it a bisectional center console after this video.
...and I'm over here with a car that's...unisectional 😂
@@ScottOrdand I’m over here with a center console that is hetrosectional
So when you open it and put your hand in it, is that sectional intercourse?
please don't ever remove the i8 helmet clip from the intro... it gets me every single time... i love this so much!
" It's bisectional" lost it 😅😅😂 thanks guys
This is a 2024 car, after all.
😂 I said the same thing.
It is 2024😂😂
I snorted coffee out of my nose. fyi
😂😂😂😂
04:10 Finally a car not running on 22-24" wheels, give those chunky tyres with normal sized wheels some love people, they ride _NICE_
Yeah, totally agree, people forget that every car has air-suspension. 18" is a MUCH nicer ride than 20 or 21.
Yep, a tire with proper sidewalks rides nice.
@@volvo09In my personal opinion more sidewall looks better too. Too many modern vehicles look like they are wearing clown shoes.
More durable against potholes too, real easy to de-bead a tire or crack a wheel with those unnecessary large wheels. Don't understand why manufacturers are so desperate to put rubber band tires on everything.
@@phattiger1506 Meaty tires club need to be founded. God forbid the anorexic tires.
My wife got one in early February and its been a great vehicle. I let a couple of Mercedes engineers crawl over it (I live near their Alabama plant) and they were quite impressed with what Hyundai has done.
Like what exactly? Copy everything and cheap crap on inside?
@@alexsmith6271 no, the fit, finish, and design. It's well built.
And inside? Constant engine issues, tranny and etc. They look nice on the outside and complete garbage in the inside
@@alexsmith6271go drive one.. their fit and finish is pretty great
@@alexsmith6271 haters gonna hate
I think it looks nicer in real life than photos. Saw it in white in calligraphy and think it looks fresh.
hahah looks fresh....have u never seen a land rover? Plus the land rover wont need a tranny in 5000kms like the hyundai
@@Scypher0thhuh? Range Rover has the worst reliability rating out of all the cars…worse than Hyundai overall bruh
As a dad with small children I fully endorse the consistent bad dad joke level humor
😂😂😂
Thomas being goofy has to be my favourite thing
That was a good joke
i was expecting KIABOIZ joke.
My wife got the Kia Sorrento, this one’s brother/sister/cousin and it’s very very nice. Got the X line with the baseball glove interior and it looks great. It has what I can only describe as Lamborghini wheels which also look great. Hyundai and Kia really are killing it in the suburban grocery getter upscale yet affordable market.
A car I would have never have had a second thought about without a Throttle House video of it. I'll be honest, as a dad with the potential to have more than 1 child in the future this seems like a super reasonably priced 3 row seating SUV. It might not necessarily be the greatest looking vehicle ever but in my opinion it looks way nicer and more expensive than the previous Santa Fe models. Looking at it I'd have had no idea it was a Hyundai having never seen it before. Love the channel, definitely gives off OG Top Gear vibes, and love what ya'll are doing. Came for the Lotus content, stayed for the humor, entertainment, and excellent car content!
Y’all really are the benchmark for car reviews. I could care less about a Hyundai SUV but I just watched the whole video because you guys made it. Doing something right
U speak like a sheep
hyundai /KIA spends $Billion on social marketing.
@@fffwe3876 Still don't like the Santa Fe, but I like Throttle House even more.
Eh not really
Could “not” care less. Could not.
I picked up a Calligraphy in green this weekend. I quite like how it looks. But I'm coming from a Ford Flex, so boxy is the name of the game.
Santa Fe isn't that bad. You made a good choice
Got my wife a black calligraphy. We like the look as well. I'm not a suv guy but I like boxy models.
Boxy is the future.
@@eun_chan111 Sure in the hell doesn't feel bad.
@@ttbeezy It was the only new car on the market my wife enjoyed the look of.
It's hilarious that all your SoCal videos take place around where I grew up and hung out forever. Warms my heart to see the old stomping grounds.
every video is so solid from you guys. always excited to see new content, making anyand every car feel intriguing
don't have the bell icon turned on for anyone else but these dudes.
reminiscent of top gear. watching their videos not for the car, but for the camaraderie of these two.
exactly
I watch episodes on cars I know I won't like - they're that good.
@@danmayberry1185Fully agree they can make any car interesting
@@danmayberry1185 Exactly. Like the Santa Fe here. Haven’t watched anyone else’s video on this.
@@danmayberry1185 I know right, like I will never ever ever buy a Santa Fe. But this video, and the introduction, especially watching Thomas & James play their intro skit, is like a breath of fresh air lol.
You both have the best and most accurate pronunciation of Hyundai of all reviewers. Way to goooooo!!!!
The improvement that Hyundai and Kia have made to their brand and quality of their vehicles in the past 20 years is mind blowing.
LETS GO KIABOIZ!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@tocreatee3585I'd rather ride a bike than be a "Kiaboiz".
So is their prices
@@On2wheels94 So has every manufacturer. Inflation has hit everything.
Hyundai as has stepped so much in recent years. never seen such a glow up from a car company
New throttle house video makes my day
Other than the tail light placement, design looks nice as does the overall package. Agree with Thomas, i could see my mother in one of these
Good timing - I had one of these tailgating me all the way across town this weekend, and so I couldn't help but realize it was the first one I've seen on the street. They do look pretty good in person - boxy works for SUVs.
If they're actual trucks it works. This is no truck and so it seems more like "faux rugged" to me.
@@ytj22 fake off-roader or not, I do think it's fairly tasteful, by way of keeping the design elements very simple. Compared to the melted jellybean generation Pilot, for example, this is far more pleasing to look at.
The soundtrack in this video is really nice. Kudos to whoever makes the selection 👌🏻👌🏻
Much love for throttle house, always a good day when yall drop
Love the intro! The "enjoy the show!" at the end makes it feel like an actual TV series. You guys do amazing work!
I can't believe it took me so long to subscribe to you guys. Great content. Great videos. Great reviews. Keep it up!
I love these guys. They work so perfect together
I bought one of these about two weeks ago. It’s a limited, FWD, and white with tan interior. Super practical with great tech and ride. So far I really like it. I also like the boxy styling personally. There are going to be a million of these on the road for what you get for the money.
Also a million of them in the shop for repairs lol.
@@kevinwest1607 it’s a Range Rover lookalike, not an actual Range Rover.
Had a Hyundai for 10 years and my mechanic thanked me personally he said thanks to my car he managed to build a a second level on his house 😅
Weird, just got out of a Santa Fe I had for 11 years. No problems at all other than a wheel sensor and cosmetic stuff starting to fail from the Florida sun. Regular maintenance otherwise.
@@codyman1022 Wow I guess the many thousands of people with blown up engines/transmissions, electrical problems are just crazy unlucky.
Really tempted to buy one of these thanks for the awesome review as always
I saw one of these for the first time the other day. Its a good looking vehicle. Really reminds me of a Ford Flex. Similar proportions, boxy, roomy, etc.
I had 2010 SantaFe. Drove for 250k miles without major issues. It's actually very good, reliable car.
I think Hyundai is better than all Japanese brands except may be for Toyota.
Introducing the Hyundai Flex 💪🏼
Santa Sport 🐂
They seem to have taken design cues from various manufacturers. As pointed out it screams Ford Flex. The front end has a definite Land Rover vibe and the boxy protruding wheel arches scream GM/GMC
Land Rover looks and reliability.
@@ytj22 with Hyundai/Kia street cred
@@andrewduong2740 Lol! 👍
No wonder its fugly
Ok, I knew it looked like a Defender, but reality never hit me as hard as this video at 8:10 when you guys put the Defender and the Santa Fe pictures next to each other!!!! They are identical!!
I’ve been wanting to see a side-by-side picture of this car and the Ford flex too
You guys are cracking me up trying to say nice things about this vehicle!😂😂
You guys are the best! Love youse! Great review, per the usual.
I love it, trying to hold out for the PHEV in 2025 though. Supposedly will have 60ish miles electric with their new system.
Alright guys, it's been said a few times but I am going to say it again : you picked up where the Clarkson era Top Gear left off. Keep up the excellent work.
Throttle house, are best car reviewers ever. Even with folks like top gear paving the way, I would argue their charm and attitude make them the best in the last 20 years of car reviews. They make every review worth watching. Even when it's not a car I'm interested in. When there is a car I'm interested in, no matter who reviews it previously I anxiously wait to see if Thomas and James will give their view as I hold their opinion above all others. I excitedly wait to see what jokes and critical analysis they put together to both entertain and inform me. Thank you for everything you guys do. I hope you have many years of success and fortune ahead.
I like your reviews SO MUCH that I made it halfway through a review of a Whatever Santa Fe. Well done gents!
“Bisectional”…..😂😂😂😂you guys rock.
While there are not many defenders here in austria, my neighbor got one of these a week ago. Of course he is single. While I personally think its a cry for help, it has not stopped my other neighbors from starting a riot against said new Santa Fe driver. People here are not that used to 2m high boxes, which are also freed from all emission taxes because we only get the hybrid ones. 🤣
Love the smoking exhaust in every back shot 😋
Yall. Great content. Thank you. Keep going. PLEASE
The intro.. I mean, keep doing it all though
I wanna see you guys review the Kia Forte GT. Manual or DCT. I'm no car enthusiast but I really love my Forte. It's fun, practical, and didn't break the bank. It's cool seeing Hyundai and Kia picking up the pace too.
The Ford Flex lives!
Beautiful scenery out there on those mountain roads guys, nice job.
I love that Hyundai brought back the ford flex. That was nice of them.
Hey! I love that road. I live about 3 hours away and I own a Hyundai (My first new car) and I got it from Victorville Hyundai which is 45 min away( my sales guy was great) ...But I Drive to Oxnard Hyundai every time I need dealer service cause of how terrible Victorville service/warranty has been. Oxnard guys are great. Plus that drive is great!
Love that you guys are doing more economy cars, like from Hyundai & Kia. It would be awesome to get your views on the Kia Forte GT!
Economy car? These are not lol.
@@soulsage1984Have you seen car prices? Anything under 40K is considered "economy" right now.
Thomas only focusing on how James' says "Innovative".. instead of listening to what he has to say, and then interrupting him 15 seconds later...
i think that speaks for all of us in that moment.
I know James is English, but I really don’t think the English say innovative the way James says it; they say it the same way Canadians say it. I think! Maybe some Brit’s can weigh in.
@@edombre4637I'm not British (English is not even my first language), but I'm pretty sure they pronounce it the same way as James.
I was literally focusing on it and repeating it until Thomas said something 😂
@@edombre4637 I am british and it depends on where your from. Most places say it the way James does but up north some people say it the Canadian way but most people say it James' way
@@Afraz_9n3 thanks for clarifying
Off-Road Surprise
As noted, select crossovers are showing some unexpected off-road prowess. My 2019 Santa Fe, for example, holds its own against friends Subarus in terms of ground clearance, Clarence and suspension.
The AWD lock function even feels like it makes a difference. Throw on some good tires, and this thing could handle light off-roading like basic BLM (the Land Mgmt) camping or exploring backroads. I'm really digging the look of the rumored XRT version - fingers crossed it becomes a solid reality with options.
On-Road Champion
Of course, these SUVs truly shine on pavement. The current "Smart Sense" suite, with its adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, is arguably up there with the very best in the industry. The technology simply works flawlessly on mine. These comfortable cruisers are also surprisingly rugged.
I live right where you filmed this and the last video. It’s so cool knowing every street you are testing cars on. If you guys are in town still you should go to Supercar Sunday this weekend. Tons of car enthusiasts meet every Sunday with every type of ICE car you can imagine.
I don't know a single JLR owner who has ever even had a thought flash through their head about taking it anywhere wetter than the swimming pool carpark so I'd say this is definitely a defender rival.
Love the lights on it!
What does that have to do with it. You pay for the capability, not the adventure.
If you're paying for something you have no intention of using then more fool you@@SuzukiKid400
Regardless of where the vehicle is taken, if you truly think this has the off road capability of the new defender, you should probably research the defender a bit more. This in no way rivals the defender. This is basically a modernized ford flex.
Have another go at reading what I said.@@SavoyPrimeable
if you think Land Rovers are unreliable , stay away from hyundai KIA they are the worst.
Love the content❤❤❤❤
I'm a big fan of how this looks (aside from what feels like oddly low tail lights) and when I sat in one at a car show, I was amazed at how spacious it was! I think this is gonna be a big success for Hyundai!
The intro is so actually 😂👍
Had a Hyundai for 10 years and my mechanic thanked me personally he said thanks to my car he managed to build a a second level on his house 😅
New mics? Your in car voices sound great!
I love the Santa Fe, I’ve got the 2007 Santa Fe and it drives like a dream and is still super comfy despite its age! And I’ve ridden in some of the newer ones really upped the game. Solid and fun cars all around
You guys hit the nail on the head. It's fine. If it's to your taste and you're not a big car performance enthusiast, this is an affordable, functional option.
The laugh got me
Thanks for entertaining us guys
Nice to hear your Discovery 4 is continuing to live up to it's reputation lads. As someone who lives a few miles from the Solihull factory it makes me proud. 😂 👍🏻
The glow-up from last gen's Santa Fe is rather impressive, and I may actually give this thing a go in the future. Gonna wait until at least 2027 or so to try it, since I'm not one to buy the first year of a new generation, but it's hard to find a bad angle for this SUV.
Well, aside from the rear. Not sold on that aspect.
I was behind one of these in traffic the other day and couldn’t figure out if it was brand new or 10 years old. It just has that….look
Timeless
You are driving two blocks away from my house! I started watching you guys 2 years ago when you were in Canada, then saw you get to SoCal, now you are on Lynn road and Potrero, my house is on the old part of Potrero directly in front of the mountain you are using as a background! If you keep going like this, you’ll be filming on my front lawn by next week…😊
always enjoy a more "normal" vehicle reviews, keep up the great work!
Well it looks like a defender but at least we can get it insured.
Santa Fe is actually really well-made car.
I know there are some complains about Rand rover’s identity and weird shape of rear tail gate. If you want to get the most compliance space and tech in that price range, I would recommend Santa Fe.
The engine blew on my 2016 Kia Sorrento I got it back a week ago
It's been out for like no time, how do you knwo to have an opinion? Are you a salesman?
@@LLG47it’s been out for quite long in Korea, and I’ve seen heard some issues about it but overall people think it’s realiable enough. Also it actually has bigger cabin then Palliasade.
@@dfsdh432v9 Recently car industry is going crazy in terms of quality, (Addition of electronic equipment = More issues).
I have 2022 etron GT, and i got Low arm prob, Climate system broke (4times), charging system errors (twice) during a year. Hope you don’t get more issues.😢
@@LLG47 Last month i visited Korea and test drive for 4 days.
If we think about the price, it is a great car.
I love your guises channel. It makes me think of Top Gear with a fun and funny twist❤❤❤❤
i love recognizing the roads when you guys are in socal
I've heard that the engine and transmission were carried over from the pretty good looking 4th generation (the outgoing model). That means that any engine and transmission issues that weren't fixed in 2023 were probably carried over to this "all-new" model.
What issues are those?
@jasonomer346 the DCT is garbage. The 2.5t is known for oil consumption issues, though I never experienced that.
The Hybrid and PHEV versions are the way to go.
Bisectional gag legit made me giggle
"it's a 2024 car after all" 😂
I have so far seen it only in video and photos, but I love it, it is beautiful and it looks perfect. Boxy as a car should be.
It comes to our market in the middle of the year. I think I want the XRT one.
Favorite channel, I wouldn’t own a Santa Fe, but as soon as I saw this video I wanted to watch it. Please review a Yukon/Sierra Denali Ultimate at least on extra throttle house they are my dream vehicles
If there was an 8 legged insect on it you could call it a “boxer spyder”
seeing the steering wheel is so funny. like you said it is so defender
Music game was super on point this episode 👌
Dont tell the guys over at Donut, but you guys are definitely my favorite automotive channel. I have no interest whatsoever in a Hyundai Sante Fe, yet here I am, enjoying every minute of your video. Thank you. #bisectional
Do one with the BYD Seal guys!
Hyundais constant evolution is amazing
I got a ride in a Hyundai SUV a few years ago, infact its quite a few years ago now... it surprised me, pretty sure it had proper 4wd and lockers, atleast rear and central... and 220 hp diesel, it was pretty cool, it was just a short go around the neighborhood, it was pretty much brand new, looked amazing too, quite the opposite to this design, swooping looking thing, I liked it!
And I as surprised by the power, I maybe had expected 150 - 170 hp, and being diesel it had the torque wave, very nice! And it was big!
I purchased my first Kia/Hyundai product 23 months ago (EV6 gt line) and coming from owning Lexus brand for my 3 previous vehicles I had concerns of longevity/reliability. I have 35k miles now and it’s my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned all around. Not a single problem….yet.
It looks like a Ford Flex up front. And like a SsangYong Turismo in the rear.
I always liked the flex. My wife and I call them the man van. 😂
@@Bradimus1 Love the Ford Flex - 365 horsepower twin turbo speed machine in a sleeper bread box shape 😂 Can't beat it.
Hyundai is coming out with some of the greatest designs in the world right now, genuinely. Boxy or not
I agree! I swoon every time I see an Ioniq5
I think the styling is similar to stretching a Ford Flex vertically. That said, the Flex looks ok as well, so the Santa Fe also looks ok. The biggest departure is that all of its direct competitors are curvy blob things. Off-road/faux off-road is hot right now, so it's the right move.
The ending was hilarious! 😂 thnx forthe laugh
I respect Kia and Hyundai trying to move up market, but they have a dark history of reliability and build quality issues to overcome before I'll be willing to trust that they're "killing it". The ignition column/key issues that were bad enough to become a viral trend are just the tip of the iceberg. I wish them the best but I think many consumers aren't ready to trust them
I think it's also important to realize how much the two companies have changed in the past decade. It takes a while to turn around product design, but I think they're on the right track. Just need more time to make sure of it, though. Kia / Hyundai EVs are probably my favorite on the market right now, and my parents own two Hyundais that they love, but they've also had to replace an engine in a Tuscon at 45K miles (they no longer have that vehicle that drank oil). It's very hit or miss, but it helps we aren't in a big enough community for the Kia Boyz too...
It has to start somewhere. It just can’t start with people’s stubbornness. Some overlook every South Korean cars as horrible. Because they view the people owning it as cheap. I don’t care for those people who so love cars but be toxic to those who try to enter with their own fantastic little cars.
Ever heard of the kia boys? They like hyundais too
@@nottimhortons I don't care for those people who ignore Kia and Hyundai's MAJOR reliability problems over the last five years like engines completely failing due to carbon buildup from poor design and construction and who encourage others to throw away their money on these awful little cars.
Not to mention that they're notorious for not honoring their warranties.
those taillights are the worst
You guys are the best! Funny and really good content. “Bisectional” “It is 2024 after all! “ 😂😂
I was surprised how big of a difference there was between the SEL version (the one you tested) and the Calligraphy version. The Calligraphy version has a WAY nicer interior.
Been waiting for you to cover this
Love the new intro. Have you thought about combining a few of your reviews and releasing a weekly or bi weekly long format show that includes the banter, news, etc (thinking modern top gear) and then releasing edited review segments as needed for the algorithm? I think you two are the replacement for the displacement of the OG TG.
Ive owned 3 of the original Santa Fe (01-06), they were very reliable and went past 400k. Awesome beater everyday vehicle. Theres a reason I kept buying another one when the previous one wore out
It should be priced much higher
It's amazing !!! The design is amazingly modern beautiful and strong !!! So nice !!!
My beloved my 2nd Gen. Sante Fe still holds up..😬🥰
Great vid. Now i want one 🎉
proof that I'll watch anything you guys make, even a video about a suv I'm not interested in...but still loved the video. good job guys.
I always thought it was pronounced like "Sunday" like that commercial from a while back. But I'll start saying "heeeundai" like you guys do because I trust you with my life and my happiness and eventually my firstborn.
Christmas 1975. I'm looking forward to the BMX bike I requested for my one and only present. I found my new huffy parked in the living room with the information pack hanging from the handlebars.
WARNING. This is a BMX style bicycle only and not intended for use on dirt or for jumping ECT. You get the idea. That is exactly what this reminds me of.
I can ride it to school but a high curb could bend my rim.
I love the look of it, especially in that copper color. Saw it next to a Rivian suv and was shocked at the similar look. I’ll never afford a Rivian but a Hyundai, absolutely
