  • The Hyundai Santa Fe is one of Australia's favourite three-row seven-seater SUVs. It competes with the Kia Sorento, the Mazda CX-9 and the Skoda Kodiaq among others. But is the Santa Fe better than the new CX-8? What's the Highlander like? Tom heads to Coffs Harbour in the new Santa Fe AWD to find out.
    What do you think of the new Santa Fe? Would you have this, or a new Peugeot 5008? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments.

    Dare I say, this is the most informative and factual car review program perhaps not just in Australia but of all the mainstream ones you see online, way ahead of car advice and carsguide in my opinion. Thanks Tom! Your reviews are to the point, concise, well organised and shot beautifully.

      It’s grown on me as well. Works well in person, too.

    In my opinion, new Santa Fe looks great, clear and strong improvement compared with the second generation model. Nice review! :D

    Very nice, I like the new look, it takes the Kona’s styling and refines it to where it should’ve been on that car.

    Best car for the money in the 7 seat class..
    Drove the Tiguan all spare Highline, with R line pack ,
    Drove the Holden Arcarda LTV-Z , Drove the Kia GT spec.. still think this is the best car in the class.

    Great review Tom. Consistently calling it the way it is, never falling into the trap of trying to please a manufacturer. For me, I personally prefer the previous front design architecture than this new model...it looks bland IMO. Well done again..always a solid review.👍

  • @DriveAndBeDriven
    @DriveAndBeDriven 6 років тому +2

    Great review! I actually just conducted an in-depth video review between the 2018 & 2019 model, and the changes that I discovered between the two were quite significant. Hyundai is definitely setting the bar high with their all-new 2019 Santa Fe. Keep it up!

    The moment I saw the New 2019 Santa Fe, I said to myself: " there is something about this SUV that is very appealing compared to the rest of the SUV'S our there? Quite frankly, it's awesome looking with great reviews.

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  6 років тому

      It's definitely a really good option.

    Looks nice, but I like the previous grill design better. Hyundai should stick to a grill design, like Mercedes, BMW and others.

    Good review awesome car. For 65k this car is super packed with features. Mazda cx9 is a vey nice car one of the negatives in mazda is the stupid MZD connect. Great thing in this car it has so many features even in lower models not poverty pack unlike some cars (Toyota this was for you :))

    Too bad this car is insane expensive in holland due to our crazy CO2 taxes. But if i would buy something in this segment, i would pick the Mazda cx9 or this Hyundai.

    • @chasingcars

      There will - very likely - be a petrol engine option late this year, or early next. A front-drive V6.

    How does it drive as compared to the new CRV?

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  6 років тому

      The engine in the Santa Fe is better suited to an SUV than the CR-V's 1.5T. Keep in mind though that the Hyundai is quite a bit larger than the Honda.

    You reckon a Skoda Kodiac ride is better than this?, I bet you will be saying the same when the thing breaks down, they (Skoda) won't want to know about it and you will have absolutely lousy customer support to boot. It never ceases to amaze me how so many call German cars superior. Did you think of dieselgate and those mongrels poisoning people? Skoda is a VAG brand you know.

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  6 років тому +1

      The Kodiaq does ride better. That's not a comment about reliability or the ownership experience, it's a comment about suspension.

    Is the hyundai santa fe better than skoda kodiaq or is kodiaq better?

    • @chasingcars

      Kodiaq is better dynamically, but the Santa Fe is just a touch roomier.

    Did it have a dead battery lol? (Those in the know know what I'm talking about) Battery aside these are actually nicer cars in the flesh than suggests, despite confronting design language

      No battery failures but they were brand new!

    Wish there was more cargo and third row space

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  6 років тому

      That would be ideal, but how much larger would the car itself have to get?

    • @usmantariq7997
      @usmantariq7997 6 років тому

      Chasing Cars Is this considered a compact crossover or full size crossover?

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  6 років тому

      In Australia we would say the Santa Fe is a large SUV

    • @usmantariq7997
      @usmantariq7997 6 років тому

      Chasing Cars Really? I hope you guys don't consider these cars in the same league as Expendition or Tahoe, cuz they're the actual "Full-Size SUVs". Anyway, I just want them to make a larger, more spacious version of Santa Fe, like what Ford did with the Expendition (Max version).

    how is the 3rd row space compared to the kia sorento?

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  6 років тому

      Pretty similar, because this new Santa Fe is quite a bit longer than the old one.

    i like this car however the front grill looks plastic and a bit cheap...

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  6 років тому +1

      It has this sort of matte finish on it. A little less imposing (and perhaps less premium) than a big chrome piece.

    • @markart157
      @markart157 6 років тому

      Chasing Cars would you recommend this over a Tucson? this looks more like a family car. I feel tucson can also easily fit a small family.

      It's certainly a radical departure from the old car but I found it did grow on me. And the new interior is lovely.

      Heavy-ish vehicle, the need for low-down torque and the Australian preference for this fuel type in large SUVs

      @sanghoonlee5171 6 років тому +1

      Hoon C. It means I live in Korea and see a thousand Hyundais on the street every single day. I have a legitimate reason to wish they were easier on the eyes because literally half the cars I see are Hyundais.

    • @hedydd2
      @hedydd2 6 років тому +1

      The design of this one, inside and out, may not be quite as stylish as say a Discovery Sport, but it is up there with the best of the rest. Indeed the inside is among the very best in my opinion. Hyundai and Kia have come a very very long way over less than twenty years to achieve such high standards. You should be very proud of their products.
      By the way, I've owned Range Rovers, CRV's, Audi Q7, BMW X5 and one of my current cars is a Volvo XC90, which I like to think of as a poor person's Bentley Bentayga.
