- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T AWD is a modern Crossover that most people will never race or take off-road. But will all-wheel-drive and a turbo-charged 2.0 Liter engine the 2013 Santa Fe should not only be fast but should also be able to take on some off-road work. In this fun review we decide to find out just how well the new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe drives off-road and how fast it will go from 0-60 @ a mile above sea level.
who cares if it's a off road vehicle or not, these reviews are entertaining to watch.
I love you guys! You do an awesome job on your reviews. Everytime I am looking at a vehicle to purchase I come to the tube to see if you have a review on it. I have to say I was in no way going to buy a Hyundai. However, went out of town last week and the rental place gave us a Hyundai Genesis to drive. I was thoroughly impressed. So I decided to look at the Sante Fe. Love the RX, but for the money I think the Sante Fe has what I like. Thanks Again!
Not sure why reviewers continue to test vehicles like this off road. They were not designed for off road or used off road. Test them for what they are meant for.
exactly.
at 7:20 the side profile of that car just looked so beautiful and upscale, damn this car really has me thinking Hyundai for my next 40K purchase
Hello from 2018 😂😂 your videos has improved a lot since 2012
I live with my mom and she drives a 2001 Santa Fe, and to this day, no wrecks, no stuck drive shafts, no major damage. It turns 12 this March (of manufactured, not owned)
Enjoyed that last bit Nathan. Great review guys.
Nathan has way too much fun in this. I guess that's why you left him out when you tested the viper. Thanks for another great review. Keep 'em coming.
We test at high altitude. We mention it often. The air density is less pervasive and less air to use for combustion.
You guys ROCK! It is always entertaining and informative watching you both. Here in the Philippines we don't get the GDI turbo engines, but we do get a 2.2 diesel with variable geometry turbo engine though. It has almost 200HP and about 450 NM of torque. I have to agree with yo it is a good crossover but not really for off-roading. We chose this over the Ford Explorer due to its engine efficiency and fuel cost. Other than that, I think if looks way better than the Explorer - just my opinion
We really liked it actually, only traded it in because we needed more space. The SX4 is tough, gets decent mileage and in 4x4 lock mode it didn't let the worst maritime weather slow it down. only had one warranty call in in the near 7 years we owned it, the drive shaft going to the rear dif has a universal joint in it, that started to go. Factory paint job wasn't amazing as it started showing paint chips rather quickly...overall we liked it a lot, just needed more space.
I can't wait to own it in a few months! Done a lot of research and this car seems to be the best of its category, if we consider the value/price ratio.
You guys don't do enough videos. Weird saying that with 1 a day lol ! Love your review and love more the off road suv trucks etc review... thx keep it up
The Santa Fe is a dog with the 2.4 also and the diff lock does nothing off road. The interior is awesome and I love the back seats that recline and the window shades!
Agree. I have a 2018 2.0T and love it. Interior is great and power and ride quality is great but I don’t know how far it would get me off-road 🙂
Thanks Nathan/Roman...great review and explanation of its intended audience/purpose..Hyundai is still attempting to gain a greater market share and with every new product it is evident and seems to be improving.
This is definitely one of your best reviews. Brutally honest, yet also fair (poor acceleration-great interior). Now Hyundai will be sure to have you guys at their next "premier".
What I want is a mashup between the new Santa Fe Sport and the CR-V plus the Escape.
very good review guys.. I believe the Hyundai is doing great..! they been working so hard to come up with new design without compromising the price to attract a new buyer.. I believe the Hyundai and kia is focus to build more practical cars that most young family buyers looking for..
I love the Hyundai Santa Fe. I have one and it is great. I think it is the best Crossover in it's class and then some. Hyundai doesn't make you pay extra for things that should come standard on cars. I think Hyundai is doing great!
wow wow wow you made my day. I didn't laugh this much for years. thanks for fun
Bought mine 2 days ago (2.0 Turbo) - beautifully made! Excellent drive, the only thing I can say it lacks are power-folding mirrors and power opening/closing trunk.
This is a GREAT vehicle!
Would you like to give us a 8 year later update??? =)
@@theminicooper In a Palisade now - best 7 seater ever!
Love your reviews guys. Watching from Littleton.
My mother just got a 2017 AWD base w/ 185 HP here in Colorado (San Luis Valley). Only time it seems to lack power is climbing the passes at 10K feet. Also noticed it seems to pass better than equivalent vehicles from other manufacturers. Granted she's not going to win any races, but she's 69, so that's not an issue.
Btw, there is no locking dif only a 50/50 front/back power split mode.
I dont know whats your problem, but I have 2 Hyundais in my family, and they have been GREAT cars, Both are running great, the older is over 6 years old and it is running like day one.
If you still have the same perception of Hyundai over a decade ago, then please do some research and find all their cars are among the most reliables in the world now, with high owners loyalty, and it is an Award Winner brand, over others that havent received an award since years ago, like Toyota.
I have been more than 6 years with my Hyundai Accent, and it has been one of the best purchase I have ever made... I have no reasons to not buy a Santa Fe 2013 in Turbo Diesel (Hyundai R-Engine 2.2 litres, 200 HP, 311 lb-ft).
How did you like your SX4? They look to me to be a handsome little car with just the right proportions. Also I had a swift GT in the early 90's and it was bullet proof.
Finally!!! Both of you said something good about a Hyundai! (Thanks though) =)
Thanks dudes. Was considering the Santa Fe as an alternative to the new Pathfinder. Not happy with the 0 to 60 though. Pathfinder did way better. Will continue with my research with your assistance of course.
You guys never reviewed the XL version of this car. I am soooo looking forward to that one!
I wouldn't say they are surpassing them, they are on the same level now. Not only due to the german designers and engineers working for Hyundai. I work at a Hyundai car dealership, the newer generations are awesome.
Great review, in Australia they have 2.2 L Turbo Diesel which drives really well & has heaps of touque but still want to see the new Subaru Forester and Outback review before making a decision on a new car.
Wasn't sure where you were taking us at the top of this review. Looked like you were not going to like the new Santa Fe...but looks like you liked it enough. Most of us are not members of the National 4-Wheeler's Club...so good for road driving and rain/snow...but perhaps not a sports car. Thanks for the info. Between Santa Fe (lwb), Ford Explorer and Buick Enclave - who wins?
You peoples really put this santa up to its limits. well done. for the car its a looker but Ok as a SUV.
By the way, the quality, fit, finish and performance is good (for me I find it great). I have no doubt buyers will sure say its a bang for the buck. We have owned lots of Japanese vehicles and I tell you this time Hyundai is rocking the boat. I guess the only thing missing is the auto tail gate, which we don't really mind here in the Philippines. Here we always look at fuel consumption because we have terrible traffic, very strong air-conditioning, more toys and of course good looks.
Is it really zombie ready?
Very cool video, especially the end!
Im in Oz and i bought the top spec 7 seater with the 2.2 turbo diesel. plenty of response and power
Great cross over, not offroader.
Santa Fe beats anything of equivalent price. I couldn't believe how much it trumps over rivals.
How's the road noise? Though Hyundai is offering a lot of standard equipment for the money, the Sonata was far from quiet.
we bought this car and our second Santa Fe too we love it...
I've driven Santa Fe many years over Idaho's fire trails, hiking, fishing, and picking in back country areas, and the vehicle is no problem. it's attractive and comfortable around town and taking friends/colleagues out. Agreed, its not a humvee. it's not a humvee, so why grade it like one.
2013 SantaFe is owned 2013 CRV... I drive a 2008 CRV, i think its now to get a hyundai...
Tucson is greeat, Santa Fe is awesome...
Bought one, if your going offroad turn-off the traction control, makes a big difference.
This crossover has a lot of features for a 2013 model. It's aged well too. Could pass for a 2015 or 2016 to the average person.
Its great when both of you are in the video
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! =D
What kind of sunglasses Nathan has? Brand, model?
I'm trying to figure out which engine is suitable and maintenance is not too high, there is a 2.4 petrol and a 2.2 diesel for Santa Fe. Sometimes, I have some flood around knees level. Which engine is a better choice ?
Diesel every time. the performance is much better in every way. i have the 2011 version with the diesel and it's excellent
just traded our 07 SX4 in on a 2.0T, SE trim SantaFe.....man its nice!
My parents were about to get this car and then my mom went crazy and we ended up with an Lexus RX, but whatever, I still love them both.
I couldn't finish this video. These guys are way too obnoxious.
Number of recalls does not mean anything. Some manufacturers would not recall even if there is a fault. Have you heard of chinese car recalled? Would you rather buy a company that admit flaws and fix them?
i hope you guys do roller test on 4x4s & awd so we will know how capable they are on snow and ice rather brinig them on colorado mountains where only true 4x4 can really do it(whats the point in doing it anyway)just explain the road clearance for that
What a funny and great video. Loved it.
Thumbs up for the drive by shootings in the background.
Great looking inside and out. Mpgs could be better but with awd and actual power not bad. But when you see them at dealers the price is rather high. Saw a base2wd $33k not cool. Looks great but for the money ....
Question-- Does the diff lock actually split power 50% to the front axles and 50% to the rear axles? Or is the diff lock used to lock the axles from side to side?
Well thats a premium brand with V6. Dont get me wrong, this is a beautiful car and I am planning to buy it, but just wanted to point out the MPG numbers were wrong.
I love the interior that’s my favorite color
You guys should look in to the new 2014 outlander and the outlander Hybrid.
Will you guys do a review on the 2014 Subaru Forester when it's available?
Yep. Our ORV trail takes us past an outdoor shooting range.
BTW, I am also a HONDA owner, I used to have a Civic, now I have a CR-V, plus the other Hyundais, so, you can have an idea of what I expect from a car, considering I also like Honda.
Way too much wheelspin at 7:20. The AWD is locking the center torque split but apparently not locking the front or rear diffs, and letting the wheels with the LEAST traction receive all the power. The vehicle didn't look high centered, and the other wheels which were not spinning were on the ground and had traction but were not getting traction. The rear end took way too long to kick in as well. In lock mode at low speeds, it should be sending power to all wheels initially.
the leather is sick
which one would u prefer? this or the new escape 2.0t ????
You guys are awesome.
i loled hard on the beginning of this video!
Roman u need to review. The Nissan Murray crosscabriolet convertible
Sweet review; focus st review pleaseeeee
Ha.... yeah it is tricky, which is why I put it in quotation marks.
For starters though, Hyundai is much bigger than Suzuki, and offer a much larger range of cars.
Also Hyundai is much more global (Suzuki is thinking of exciting the US market for instance, while Hyundai simply cannot keep up with demand for their cars).
My opinion, but I would say that Suzukis don't look as attractive as the modern Hyundais.
But I like the Kizashi and the Swift is a very popular car in my home New Zealand :)
Nice video I like the car and the music they play also I would like to know who play the music it sound like Japanese music
Instead of using the awd why not try the 4x4 version its a total different drive and performance of road is good
my 2011 easily goes thru what they did and only need the rear diff. locked on hills and some tuff mud orvery uneven terrain... but lightly ruff and shorter moguls, I do them in 2wd (on demand awd)... it's a very capable off roader, but not enough ground clearance for deep ruts or very deep water, or rock climbing.. but most light to med. level trails, can be handled !! technique is key for off roading as well. Oh, 19" rims aren't off road for sure.. I have 17's and room to air down few psi... granted, on some of the rougher stuff I've been thru, I had mickey thompson stz's :-)
but the offroad was pretty good with on road tires right???
Woooah. 30 grand base price! Is it worth it guys?
On Hyundai's scale of Invite TFLCar, Think about TFLCar, Send a car to TFLCar or Forget about them. Hyundai just might forget about them.
They did the exact same expressions as Roman did when he scratched the bottom.
heated seats are only good if the back rest is heated as well.
I really like the design
Can u pls review the 2013 jeep wrangler and more on road than off road
These guys rock! I love their reviews !
I can't say, I haven't driven either :( But I'd get the Santa Fe, cuz the Vitara doesn't look old! But if you need an off-roader and you think the Vitara is a better off-roader, then of course you should get that :)
How can they tell that it's the most reliable suv, when it's only been in production for a year? Reliability takes time to prove, you won't find a 2013 Sante Fe with over 100,000 miles. Also it's not a large suv compared to likes of suburban, armada, gl ect..
People post goofy comments.
Please do a 2013 Ford Edge Limited Review please TFLCar!!!
Oh shit, I bought my wife one a year ago. She loves it. It's an awesome vehicle for her perpose
I'm happy with the stereotype its forced the company to prove themselves so 30 years ago they had crap cars but not now. I've saved thousands over the years buying 3 different Hyundai products and usually get features other makes charge thousands more for.
my dad went offroading with fj cruisers and pathfinders and really messed up road and we didn't hit a thing?
This Santa Fe looks better than the CRV, Murano, or the Rav4 for sure.
For some odd reason I am getting errors when I try to paste the link. Mine did it in 8 seconds flat with 87 octane fuel and 600 pounds in the car.
Important to toe that this car isn't made to go off road like some truck you talk about. Not Santa Fe's intended clientel
Why do you hate to say it? Why do Americans hate Hyundai?
+ChargersFanSD
Hyundai makes good cars
Sorry guys, but the Santa Fe was on process and under field tests way before the new Escape release.
Well it use to be unreliable, but now it is a lot better brand! People just hasn't given it the time of the day.
Hyundai Santa Fe отличная машина. По проходимости по заснеженной дороге превзошла все мои ожидания.
Every car has it's purpose, I like larger cars for example. Comfort and horse power. Try Grand Cherokee v6 diesel, I doesn't use much more gas than this car. Yet it's far superior off road, and very impressive on road as well.
the hyundai santa fe did pretty good with on road tires
esperaba una prueba d verdad...
todo los tramos q pasaron los puede pasar un corsa evolution!!!
Is the santafe better or the CX9?
2013 Honda Accord Sport or 2013 Santa Fe sport 2.0T ?
the mission of the Santa fe is not an off road vehicle. It doesn't even come with off road tires or clearance.
Great vid!
