Hey Everyone! Let me know in the comments section what your thoughts are on the LIMITED trim of the 2024 Santa Fe. Is it the one you would by?
It's a good SUV, I can't stand the haters.
haters are always going to hat that is for sure!@@Thebusdriverandgamermorefan790
I'd buy it for sure! I like the back end even more after seeing one in person!
I really like it more then the previous generation Raiti. For me, a few minor tweaks to the back it would have been a slam dunk for me. I like how they thought outside the box...........well......not exactly what I mean 😏
Yes I would be going with the LIMITED route No matter what kind of the car brand it is
Hey man! Just wanted to say you’re an inspiration to me, I’m a small car UA-camr from Mexico! Saludos desde México !
That means the world mi amigo!
I just saw one in person a few hours ago. I was curious to see how it looked... and honestly, I really like it. In person, it is way better looking than expected. I think that the rear works better with the darker taillights on the other trims. It blends way better.
Best looking Santa Fe so far.
For a daily family hauler, Honda Pilot. For a primary car to take friends to the Country Club for cocktails...this Santa Fe is excellent.
Best looking?!? Stop smoking dope!!!
@redman8767able Tell your mom to stay off the pipe!

@@jraheemjefcoat429 Imbecilic thing to say. Wake up. Facebook is another platform.
@islanddon865 Bruh, I was DEFENDING YOU!! But for that, imma let you get burned by these clowns. 🤡
This in hybrid is best option in the segment
Impressive Morse code sound effects! You were on fire here. Nice to see you back and rested up. The letter of the day is H kids! 😅
Thanks Daniel I tat means the world!
As usual you provide great reviews and entertainment with your videos! Thanks again for another Hyundai Santa Fe review with another trim level. We’re seriously still considering this even though we had a bad experience with the 2016 Tucson Limited DCT, hoping Hyundai has improved and fixed the issues! We saw Car Confections transmission issue with their newly purchased Santa Fe and keeping an eye on their updates as well. Bulges, alien key, Aunt Edna.. 😂
We just bought the calligraphy, they just started showing up in KY. We have to buy 2 three-row SUVs and the price point with the features made it an easy option. $50,000 with all the features and options was an easy decision. Looking at the TX 500h f sport or the grand highlander platinum hybrid max as the other vehicle. Considered a telluride over the Santa Fe calligraphy but the Santa Fe got our money.
Coming from a Durango owner its interior is premium. We wanted another Durango but we haven’t had anything but trouble out of it and our RAM.
What problems did you have with your Durango ? 😭
@@hectorrodriguez1796
Lifter tick, electrical problems from sunroof drain getting clogged, heater line rubs and created an antifreeze leak. All problems that seem to be reoccurring with it. 2017 R/T. Don’t get me wrong absolutely loved driving it and we still considered an SRT this time around. But had to move on. My RAM with the same engine hasn’t moved in almost 2 years now because of all the problems. Went with something with a better warranty.
I still think the Durango is the best looking and it’s the fastest. But I couldn’t put myself in the situation again of having two lawn ornaments.
This review had me dying 😂.
Keep up that excellent work
You're my favorite car reviewer Joe. Keep it up!!
Tailights i'm fine with, it's just they chose functionality over aesthetics. Thoughts?
It looked way better in person.
Rest end looks better in person. Test drove one yesterday
@andrewsbbq Yeah I agree. Still very polarizing but I've gotten used to them.
Thank you Joe for another amazing review.
Today I finally saw the 24 Santa Fe in person. I agree 100% with you. That rear throws things off. And the sloop down towards the rear.....yea.....odd looking. The amount of "H" is a bit gimmicky. But overall, I think its an attractive modern SUV which will do well. Looking forward for your review on the Calligraphy (whenever they release it). Thanks again.
Thanks for sharing your honest opinion on this one.
Yes of course Joe & can't wait to drive these.
That is so awesome to hear!
good review, thanks. Retired couple. I have a 20 Santa Fe which I love and would like to move up to a newer ride. Things that are keeping me from this trim level is I don't want or need a third row. My storage now is amazing and I hate to give that up. The other is the Heads up Display which should be mandatory for all cars, because it shares so much information and keeps the driver focused on the road. I also can't get definitive information on which trim levels have the park assist, lane keeper and adaptive stop and go cruise control. I don't want to go into a dealer because ... well we all know what happens when you walk in, lol. Keep up the good work, you help a lot of people stay informed.
I wouldn't say it's better than a Pilot but this is hands down one of the best looking suv from the segment.
Pilot is inferior in terms of options and technology. The Santa Fe looks better and offers much more value for the $$
@@sald232 I prefer less tech and more reliability but both are great options.
@@omarcortes5754 now that's a personal opinion I can respect 💯. No need to trash talk a brand just because you don't like it.
@@omarcortes5754
Honda reliable is horrible anymore.
It is better.
That twist on the key fob got me Joe 😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing review Joe.
GREAT REVIEW!! THANK YOU. What are the 2 red blinking lights behind the steering wheel?
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
All new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe reminds me of Cubix from a animated series called Cubix Robots For Everyone.
Now that is one that I have never heard!
Just purchased this trim level in white exterior w brown interior. For my wife and she absolutely loves it. Shes an options freak and this thing has a ton. Only been a few days, but the driving experience, comfort and features is very impressive!
Rear view mirror is camera operated regular mirror. Also does it come with front dashboard camera for collision?
Nice Video Joe! Hyundai and Kia are going very Futuristic! Awesome.
I picked this model up a couple of weeks ago. Love it, it has all the bells and whistles and the new body is a head turner. My only zonk is the cabin noise… we took our first road trip this weekend and it was so loud 😭
Ours is quite on the rd
Luv your videos as always! 👍
Any idea when the hybrid will be avail? Is pre-ordering avail?
Not until later this year.
What is the combined fuel economy for the AWD version ?
That definitely looks sweet it would be one I would get and this trim would look sweet in red and love the limited trim nice one Joe
Should show the center console to show the size. Seen several videos that the camera does not show it. Great video still as usual.
Yup, glad you pointed out the roofline drop, saw it in previous videos and it really isn't appealing to me either. And also the tailgate itself looks like a minivan and not in a good way.
Hey Joe, great review. My son (who is 6'5") and I checked out the Palisade and Santa Fe side by side at our local auto show. Except for the third row legroom, we thought the Santa Fe with its boxy design felt roomier inside than the Palisade. As long as reliability doesn't become a concern, I think Hyundai has a winner here.
Did you watch car confections video on the 2024 sante fe? They purchased it to make content on it over time and the transmission started acting weird 30 plus miles into their drive home. They took it back to the dealer and they determined it needed a new transmission.
6'4" here. People fit better in boxes.
I LOVE THE TAIL END IS DIFFERENT AND I LOVE IT .
Sorry, Joe, I’ll have to zonk you. The Limited trim has just one connected wireless charging pad, not two. The Calligraphy trim has two live pads.
Also, that top passenger dash storage bin comes with a UV sanitizer feature on the Limited and Calligraphy trims. No doubt it would easily sanitize a package of Twinkies in just 10 minutes.
I wish the two doors on the front grill had machine guns behind them. Would help with traffic in Boston. Bond...James Bond. You rock, Raiti!
Never paid attention to the Santa Fe before but that new one is sharp as hell now *including the rear contrary to popular belief* - looked at some while at the dealer for maintenance on my ‘23 Sonata NLine, loving what Hyundai is doing with their lineup. 🔥
I think you are not alone in that situation
Great video, but you missed the sanitzing drawer above the glove box for phones, glasses, whatever you can to clean when traveling. Also, wanting the Limited in a hybrid but they are slow slow to roll out....
I have a '22 Santa Fe Hybrid Blue. If I needed a new vehicle now. I would get this in Hybrid SEL. The rear would never grow on me, but I'll take the functionality and their reasoning for styling if that way.
Brooooooooo I fit 17 boxes of twinkies 14 packs of twirlers and 79 packs of KitKats in the clove box!!!! Yes sir that’s right I went to the dealership and said I need to text something out, the guy thought I was out of my mind but nooooooooo, I’m not then, I had him watch your videos 😂
That is so really cool! Thanks for the support and sharing that!
I have seen a few of these in person and generally like them. Black is definitely not a flattering color for this vehicle, but any other color looks great. Getting the model with the blacked out badging is also imperative for this particular SUV.
Front and back are very busy. Interior looks nice.
This Santa FE looks amazing, Hyundai is doing a tremendous job. My only zonk is the rear end, though. It's way too squared.
I am Valet driver and never knew the key fob has the Hyundai "H" lol I always thought it looked funky but when you look at it horizontally not vertrically to view the H it makes total sense so I like it more than the Honda key fob.
Wow I really like this truck!!! The body style and design is more rough and tough and not all the triangles and such.
I like I overall Joe, it's just the rearvend is horrendous. By the way, did you hear about the 2025 Infiniti QX80 debuts on the 20th?
Of course I did Chris! LOL
Great changes Joe love the changes they’ve made here as well id definitely go Sante fee than Honda
The interior is a homerun, glad you mention the weirdness of the key fob, I've been trying to comment on that in other videos... it's horrible looking.
Seems very nice! It would be great if they updated the Santa Cruz like this with a backseat that can be sat in 😬
Best valu trim 4 shur but the white interior and wheel would get messed quickly by Fido and Hot Sauce left on ur digits after a trip to Taco Bell. GR8 review as always.
I like that flat black at the bottom and around the wheel then the glossy because it will better for rock chips. 😅
Overall I like the inside & out .Looks better than the pilot to me. My zonks would be the gloss black inside & out. Not a fan flat all the way. My pros are the lighted side markers. The tailgate is different, again the off sets would be the widest ta8lgate in its class. Wiper is hidden. The car confection Brothers did a night viewing to ( pun intended ) highlight the lighting. Headlights were good & the tailgate was impressive when it opens the tailgate has some bright lights & the below deck leds really shine. So better safety @ night. Enjoy your reviews.
thx! They're doing it!
You are so right about that!
I'm surprised this trim doesn't have the driver seat recliner feature. Guess it is an option Joe?
Joe never disappoints❤❤❤
What’s the issue with Hyundai and Kias? Are they unreliable? I just hear they get stolen a lot when watching news.
Not a fan of the rear of the vehicle.
My telluride been with me for 5 years and still running and it not stolen. Dodge charger get stolen every day too
You'll pay higher insurance premiums. I have a telluride and even though they aren't susceptible to theft the insurance companies just blanket raise the whole brand.
My Palisade is a 21 with 38k miles and runs like the first day I brought. Best vehicle I’ve own. Typically I trade cars by year 3. Not my Pali. She’s staying with me for a while longer. This new SF has me with mixed feelings.
I love how this looks, but every time i look at this, all i see is the Ford Flex 😂. I loved the Flex my grandparents have one, but i feel like it was definitely some inspiration behind this.
Do you think the 2.5T engine and wet dct will hold up over time?
Does it come with a 6cyl
There is no place for tow hooks on the front of the 2024. You have to add a hitch to get a tow point on the back. Same as the Santa Cruz truck:( Very difficult to get pulled out if you get stuck!
Looks exactly like the Ford Flex! Minus the interior. But I'm definitely feelin this interior!
You mentioned that the Limited is the top of the line, but they make a Calligraphy trim which is the top trim and comes with a HUD.
Does calligraphy has a dashcam built in?
Can't wait for a review of the Calligraphy. It's weird that it's not even showing up on their website yet, shows limited as the top model. Wonder when that will be available?
That is the million dollar question
1:04 my godfather actually owned a veracruz in 2014. Never got to see what it was like though.
Oh wow! Every now and then I will see one on the road!
@@RaitisRides rarely but same!
I had a 2007 Veracruz, when it first came out. Loved that thing! Kept it for 11 years with only 1 warranty/covered issue. Then I wanted some newer bells and whistles so traded it in for a 2018 Mazda CX9.
@@lauracebula3222 Interesting!
I wish the taillights were more in the center than being so low
I'd take the HEV for the efficiency over the dct.
Sounds like a plan!
Very nice at that price point. By the way Joe, Twinkies do have an expiration date on them now but they are probably still edible for the grandkids for another 50 years.
Is the DCT juddery from the stop and go Joe?
Not at all
I love the look of the Santa Fe except for the rear. They should have put the tail lights above the Santa Fe badge.
Except now they are having trouble with the 8 Speed Transmission in the NON-Hybrid version of this. The 6 Speed in the Hybrid is fine. Might want to stay clear of the Non-Hybrid version until they get the transmission issues figured out, as of now I don't think they've solved those issues.
If you can fit 3 foward facing slim fit car seats in that 2nd row then I would totally buy this when my lease is up next summer
I think it will work for you
@@RaitisRides good to know, should we be expecting a drive event for the new travers/acadia anytime soon? 😂
i wonder what if the santa fe gets a refresh in the future and changed the rear of the exterior...
If it does it won't be happening anytime soon.
No, if they change it, it will lose space behind the 3rd row for headroom and luggage. Better this way. Function over form is always better.
@@ishaansaral502yeah but there has to be a way to make the back look a little more conventional while keeping the boxy shape. Repositioning and reshaping the taillights could do a lot
no one cares about that! the rear is ugly.@@ishaansaral502
Man they fumbled the rear. So close to an amazing exterior but for that butt.
Shoutout to Madlibs lol! The interior is awesome
The 360 camera car has the car in white for a reason, night time visibility. Thanks
Why are rear bumpers a thing of the past on newer SUVs?
I love me some Raiti's Rides...the Hyundai Santa Fe? No thanks. That is one unappealing vehicle. Techno overload.
Thanks Joe
You are so very welcome!
Still waiting for the 2025 kia carnival hybrid. Sure but it has a bit more gloss black, but lots of space and good efficiency.
Great bang for the buck in a large SUV for only around $44k and has respectable power and good MPG's, hard to put a big zonk on a vehicle like this at the price but i'm not a fan of the cladding around the wheel wells, should be painted in the upper trim levels IMO. This over a Honda Pilot for sure for me. ------ Joe, I read that mid row air vents are at the floor of the center console because of the center console storage box like the one you opened.
It's a mid size SUV not a large one. That would be the palisade
@@willthorson4543 - Both are three row SUV's, the Palisade is only a few inches longer.
madlibs lol so i was really interested in this car because all the early reviews made it look like a way underpriced luxury SUV. After your review I went ahead and bought a tahoe. This car is luxurious for a cheap car. It is not a luxurious car. Another great review. Ty!
Thanks Joe 🫶🫶🫶
You are so very welcome
I think the back end looks weird because its not flat, it slopes inward a little giving that droopy face look
Well I bought one a limited edition and my anxiety is so high on this vehicle about the transmission burning up it's it's ridiculous everyday I think when that car is going to break. How'd you like to buy a brand new car and everyday you going to wonder when it's going to break
Not bad I’m thinking about getting one and I never looked at Hindi’s before
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing that Mark!
I liked the size of the sante fe before it wasn't too big like this one! I dislike the droopiness of the back. Hate that the taillights and reverse are way too low for safety reasons. The side profile and rear is giving hearse.
I don’t want 20” wheels. Not practical where I live, I’d go with SEL or XRT. I’ll definitely look at this vehicle.
Everything's higher in Denver 😂 not just costs either
Thanks for another great video. The Pilot is more comparable to the Palisade. The Santa Fe is more comparable to the Passport.
I'm driving a Ford Flex and may downsize a bit to the Santa Fe when it's time. Good for road tripping and flea market set-ups.
Downsize? You mean an upgrade!
@@jraheemjefcoat429 cargo space will be quite a bit less but the technology will be much more modern.
@1956jude The trade-off is you get more interior legroom.
Still waiting for you to get into the 3rd row as you promised at the end of the video....lol
They absolutely should have put Rear ac controls in the back
Raiti I had to come back to this review 😅 They are killing this car saying it's the Hyundai Flex now 😩......I've been saying on your channel for years Hyundai and Genesis uses Ford and Lincoln for inspiration to gain American noticeability. And I don't want a watered down version of a American Suv mixed with a Nissan Pathfinder lol
I was behind one of these a few weeks ago on SR 64 in Bradenton.. The rear end looks horrid in person.
Awesome content as always and appreciate your “adult type” jokes sprinkled in.
Just a little constructive criticism, on your drive, a better camera angle showing you or the road would be more engaging/enjoyable.
The tail looks like a Volkswagen T3. Especially the placing and shape of the lights.
Hyundai nailed the interior probably better than a good majority of the luxury brands……..This definitely looks more premium than any of the Lexus offerings which are at least $10K more.
The rear spoils the aesthetic of the vehicle much like the droopy rear end of the Genesis GV80.
This trend of these curved long screens with no shading over the drivers information is just ridiculous.
But for everyday utility I think the Honda wins especially with V6 over the turbo 4.
I like this a lot
Sam Sulek approved!
I wish they could have 2.5T Hybrid. 1.6T is just too small for vehicle this size.
Say joe is this a turbo charge or no
It suer is turbocharged
@@RaitisRides ok ok & by the way I remember the Hyundai Veracruz & the Kia Borrego
@@wardellwardseems so long ago noe
@@RaitisRides yes sir
I was around the year y2k uh for me the y2001k
It looked like the Santa Fe was blinking when you flashed the lights
They are gonna re design the back in two model years for sure
