Did y'alls transmission last more than the 36 miles of Car Confection channels'?
@@BoopSnoot well, Hyundai was trying to copy Land Rover, reliability included
Is it true that the key fob doesnt have the key integrated inside so it is separate on the key chain?
It did last haha
Hyundai always coming in with those GTA looking cars.
I know! They can't make anything original, and when they do, it looks ugly and weird
@@colechapman6976 ignoring the rear the car overall looks pretty good imo
@colechapman6976 that there Is a funny statement, cause its so wrong
That looks horrible
@@hacklaurent9412in what way is it wrong? It literally looks like they took a Ford Expedition and a Defender and mushed them together to create this copy cat, and a bad one at that.
Rear lights looking like the Airbus Beluga 😂😂
What the F were they thinking with that rear end...😧
@@TermlessHGWWTF were they thinking fullstop! Someone needs to be fired.
@@TermlessHGW
Maximize cargo opening. It's either that or the D-pillar like in the CR-V, XC-90/60, Escalade.
So peo0le with smaller vehicle can see the lights?
Nice face…..no butt kinda situation 😂😂😂
I worked at a Hyundai dealership in 2004….. can’t believe this is a Santa Fe !!!!
They've definitely come a long way, my first car that I bought new was a 2002 Hyundai accent for $10,000. Sold at 8 years later with 170,000 Miles. Never had any real problems with it, just regular oil changes in basic maintenance.
I left a Hyundai dealership around that time. They've come a loooong way.
I had a 2004 Santa Fe, loved it until last February. Completely different from this
The higher tail lights look so much better
You said it..
10000% agreed, I hate tiny tail lights on bigger cars, especially the Mazdas. Just keep it proportional!!! Imo vertical tail lights look best for bigger cars
Hyundai is really trying new things in the automotive market. Whether one likes it or not, their innovation is quite commendable. The versatility, features, powertrain options are so vast that there's an option for every car buyer.
Serious question. How can you say that when they almost copied a different cars design and made it theirs? That steering wheel is right out of a Range Rover. I think the new Sonata and the EVs look great, I just hope their reliability improves to what it used to be like
@@Jo-lw5dmManufacturers copying effective designs is nothing new -- have you seen a Mercedes W210 E-class and a Lexus LS430? Toyota ganked like all of Mercedes homework for that car. If a manufacturer can improve an existing design or functionality it's ultimately a win for the consumer.
@@Jo-lw5dmthe steering wheel design has been used for Azera since 1980s. It is not new.
I agree. It just makes so much sense to appeal broad spectrum for all types of consumer vehicles! Hyundai seems to be the only manufacturer that understands that diversity wins!
I agree . Wish Mazda did the same
This differentiates it in design style and function a lot more from the Tucson than in the past. I really like companies willing to be bold with designs, especially with all the smaller commuter SUVs/crossovers on the market and electric cars
The Tuscon and Palisade will look like this too. The Santa Fe is the first to get the new redesign - design language.
Sure - and if Lexus/Toyota came out with a design even half as ugly as this thing is, everyone would be slamming it all over the place. But because all the fanboys have to be 'cool', they say that this is great.
@@Mr21scott The Hyundai fanboys are taking over the world! LOL
They look cool now, but idk how they’ll age
@@Mr21scottlol it looks good. Maybe your just use to boring Japanese designs that don’t offend. Seeing the same looking suv and sedan every day gets old.
1:10 wow that green is stunning, never knew that color was offered
Pea soup green
And Pea Soup is delicious@@stufoo
I get the RangeRover advertisement from UA-cam while watching this video 🤣
They’re scared
10:59 one thing missed about the arm rest is that the tray inside it come out and it becomes super deep, it also has a drawer that can be accessed by the middle row
But does it have an H
I’ve missed the Ford Flex so much 😍
Been hoping for this video for a few weeks!!
You two are funny. Great review. Earlier today, I purchased the 2024 Sante Fe SEL version. I could not believe the drive quality. More after i PICK up in two days!!
It drives like a BMW X5 it’s so smooth!
Overall I’m really impressed with this thing. I used to just completely ignore Hyundai, they seemed cheap and poor quality. Recently they’ve been doing great work to improve that image! Good job on the review guys!
Lmao you think they used high end parts ?
They’re still are cheap and poor quality what do u mean 😂 get back to doing research cause it’s oblivious u have no clue what you’re talking about
You guys forgot The H in the alloys😂😂
I noticed it right away.
Love your reviews! You guys are Fab! Had mine on order months ago! Can't wait to get it!
Boyyyyy that intro beat was so fire my laptop almost burst into flames
facts
I get the Defender comparison but honestly I see a lot of Ford Flex in this. And it looks like this could be similar to what the new Explorer COULD have looked like. The actual new Explorer doesn’t look anywhere near as good as this.
As I was listening to this I passed a transport of them ironically and the front is totally modern Ford Flex vibes
I instantly said that when I saw it at the dealership and the salesperson said that they were coached to not compare it to the Flex, lol!
This looks like a Chinese company tried to design a knock-off Land Rover
Oh man. That move up with the tail lights was the move. 👏
Subscription worthy?
It kind of reminds me of a new Range Rover Sport when he moved them up.
I agree moving the tail lights up makes it looks more appealing to the eye
Thanks guys, great videos. I really hope you revisit this vehicle when the PHEV version comes out!
Love outlets in the car. This should be the next thing that u guys test. Visors and outlets
What a massive upgrade in styling. Well done, Hyundai. Reminds me of the Ford Flex.
if the rear tails were higher it would be perfect
i agree. I know they were trying to follow the lines of the car, but they could have easily worked in two vertical rear taillights that lined up with the side character lines. Not sure why they decided to make them horizontal and so low...
Boy do I have a photoshop for you!
Adding a split rear tailgate along with the rear light change would make it perfect. 👍🏻
That's honestly the only thing keeping this ugly. I love the rest of the design though.
Facelift model perhaps?
Saw one Sunday at the Milwaukee Auto Show…love it, and KUDOS to Hyundai- hope they sell shiploads of these..!
is it just me or the pov of Yuri folding down the third row was straight up chaotic? 🤣🤣 love you guys!
Saying $50k is a budget is wild
It's all relative
yea 50k canadian is nothing
$50k CAD is about $35k USD
They didn't say 50k is a budget, but you can have a "Land Rover on a budget" - like getting a Lamborghini like sportscar but for half the price - that would be a Lamborghini on a budget.
@@sierrag8412yeah that’s really, really cheap for what that car is. It seems wrong? Also are they using the wrong xrate? 40,999 is 30k us, not 34k as stated in the video
The back looks so goofy lol
💯
It’s ridiculous. Looks like it’s for a ride straight to the funeral home!
You mean ahhh goofy.
100% agreed, it's the only visual part I hate personally
Great review. You guys are fun to watch.
I have '23 Santa Fe. That 2.5T is smooth and effortless.
You must enjoy low quality , get a new brand quick lol
Who says it's low Quality? 😂 It's one the best selling car brand
@@ankitsen5971 😂 that’s what they say about chevy and the other American brands and look what quality they present , just cause they sell a lot of junk doesn’t mean it’s quality
It’s kinda sad it took them a lawsuit to fix their own cars 😂
@@cormaro1376 Classic Toyota Simp
@@gamingwitharlen2267 😂 not my fault some of us can afford the better brand , getting 40mpg on my hybrid, can’t say the same for the Hyundai hybrid lol
I can actually read the complaints from the hwy website lol
We bought this exact model in the U.S. it’s the Limited trim. We love it!
Have fun with it 🎉
Till the trans blows up
@@phatgringo2.0 Hyundai has really good transmissions. Engines are another story though.
@@phatgringo2.0 just say you're jealous of hyundai
@@phatgringo2.0that’s Nissan and ford lmao
Looks great, not sold on the rear, but the interior and front is fantastic. The base engine in the US is the 2.5t. Here before the Toyota loyalists and brand snobs come in.
Toyotas are crazy expensive now. I priced out a Grand Highlander fully loaded the way I want it and it was 62k, LOL. At that point, I'd rather spend a couple more grand on a GX 550 with some accessories.
As a Toyota loyalist, I really like this car. I want it to be as reliable as a RAV4 or Highlander. I just don’t think the DCT and 2.5T will hold up over time. Hopefully they will though. That would complete this car and give Toyota a run for their money. Toyota has never been a leader in design or technology so they need to be reliable for their value proposition. If they lose their reliability without major improvements in design and tech then they will lose business. I’m concerned about the new generation Tacoma and Land Cruiser because they have turbo 4s.
Cool, you're here before people with taste come in. Nice!
The rear looks better in person. Just checked out one today.
All of the obvious things you already mentioned about the ugly rear aside, why did they make this boxy? It's not a rugged truck based vehicle, but they are trying to make it that way? That cheapens it. Many automakers are going to a boxy design, but they are doing so with their trucks.
I saw one of these on the showroom floor while asking when Ioniq 5N will be in. It looked great in person and definitely had Land Rover vibes. In a dark green, it would even more so.
Great Review Guys! I just signed on the dotted line today for a Matte Earthy Brass Santa Fe Calligraphy. Trading in our 22 Palisade for it. Looking forward to this!
Photoshopped higher tail lights looked so much better. They're exactly what this thing needs.
but the trunk space would be reduced (that's why they opted for this weird design)
@@DualITofficiela split tailgate would keep the space, look better and add extra functionality.
The trunk space would remain unaffected. The current location of the light bar already occupies the trunk space. They did it for style, nothing more. Many recent Hyundais have featured low-set lights. It’s simply a Hyundai thing.
@@vlj1133 nope , the « side » rear headlights takes space from the inside + the trunk handle opens lower . Look at Hyundai Santa Fe engineer video he explains thoroughly why the back design was made that way. It’s ugly as hell but practical
I love how low the tail lights are! Reminds me of 90s cars.
yeah you are so right no one's mentioning the rear looks exactly like the old school tahoe / full size suvs
It looks better in person. Just saw today
There a poor design. You need your light up high so they can always be seen.
Regardless, it’s going to sell well. The pricing is on point for it. My dealer already sold like 6 out of the gate.
Kinda reminded me of the Infiniti J30 and how the taillights look like they're about the melt off the car.
Great review as always, I just cannot unsee a bone when I see those tail lights :)
Love the style, not only different and bold, but I think the execution is spot on. Like a French pixelated robot. Tron neuve. Cool and funky. Two words, lets stick to the straightpipped here, people seldom use to describe Korean cars. Another French influence to note is how, erm, 'exciting' of an experience post warranty ownership may present.
It's a MASSIVE departure from previous designs, but both Hyundai and Kia are truly on a roll with designs lately. Very nice.
Bizarre designs.
just picked up a 2024 XRT and agree on everything - this thing is a nearly unbeatable package considering the space for the size and also the features and value. Design is a personal preference but I don't mind the rear and the interior is incredible. We have a minivan too but the third row in this is just fine for kids so will probably be taking this on most trips. Love it
I LOVE that pecan brown interior 😍🔥🥵🤩! It looks a lot like the Coquina Beige Nappa leather interior from the 21-23 Santa Fe Calligraphy
Just ordered the same trim and colours, reminds me of my first vehicle (2007 Hyundai Terracan Diesel). Love the funkiness
It looks like the Ssangyongs we don't get.
54,000 DOLLARS "I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything"
WHAT HAS THE WORLD BECOME?
That's less than $40k US. That's pretty cheap for a three-row SUV with leather and all the tech.
Did you even watch the video?
@@r0b3rt_959 lets watch how many people like or respond to your comment compared to mine.... don't be an ass!
In canada if you want optioned german suv base engine you would be paying over 100k canadian..
Ordered a hybrid Preferred with Trend pack. Can't wait for delivery. Just wish the hybrid came in their shimmering silver colour. I find this vehicle looks best in lighter colours but I definitely do not want a white crossover.
I do wish there was a tech package for it that offered the side view cameras and premium audio.
Finally, been waiting for this car
This should be a huge success!
its beyond ugly
It will be, just like the Telluride and new Defender
@@dominicdownie8919 To each his own but I think it looks great and will increase Santa Fe sales beyond the already solid number they have. I just wish the hybrid was available already!
@@dominicdownie8919It's grown on me
Hyundai on crack :3
Stop the defender comparisons, There’s no shame in saying this looks like a Ford Flex!
Absolutely you right 👍🏽
Hyundai really made this so solid and nice that I forget that it's the "normal" brand in the Hyundai-Kia-Genesis family. The styling is interesting without being glaring. The touch points all seem to have genuine thought behind them, not just afterthoughts.
Thanks For The Great Video... Thanks TheStraightPipes Channel 🙏🙏🙏
I’m a current 2020 Sante Fe owner and absolutely LOVE it. I’ve seen the 2024 in person: negatives, it’s only available in a seven seater, the back end is ugly, it has a cockpit style interior (with purse compartment). The required seven seats is enough for me to look at different companies on my next purchase. It is true, I don’t think they built this one with their current customers in mind…😢😢😢
Agreed!
Yes, you are absolutely right, this one is not for the current Santa Fe customer base, mostly. But that's how they find new ones, like me lol. I'm glad that it became a 7 seater only, because in my country all Santa Fe's were 5 seaters, you had to pay extra for Palisade.
6 seater with captains chairs is offered in the calligraphy trim
I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson Sport that just clocked over 112,000 miles with absolutely no problems! Only tires , brakes , and recently a new battery !
Clutch feature about the charging port in the front is you can switch from power only to power and car connect/data WHICH IS AMAZINGGG!
When you order a Land Rover Defender on TEMU.
How’s Hyundai still getting away with copying other cars? 😂
That bump is wonky riding through their spiritedly lol
Great video guys
Ty for the video. Any idea when the hybrid will be available?
Been waiting for this review 🫶
I love it, but don't know that I'd ever trust their dual clutch transmission.
I agree. The Car Confections channel bought a new Santa Fe and it needed a new transmission after just 30 miles. Not sure how widespread the issue is but something to think about.
Kia, hyundai, VW, BMW, VOlvo, MErcedes,Stellantis they all have DCT these days. It's all about efficiency.
I guess VW is the longest in the game with DCT so they are pretty reliable but AT or E-cvt is still best.
@@redwhite_040 All transmissions have pros and cons. CVT are inexpensive and simple so long as you're doing straight and level driving typical with Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas.
DCT are typically the choice for more high performance/spirited driving, but they do have a tendency to lurch at low speeds.
I don't trust ANY dual clutch transmissions. The more simple, the better. Let's gooo slushboxes!!! 😂
The same DCT in this car failed in my sore to turbo at 20k/2years and spent 2 months in the shop. No DCT for me next time.
I like turtles.
This gives me so many lego vibes from my childhood. I dig it
Can't unsee the Provost Bus look. Just see a Coach liner. Heck almost expect to see Greyhound written over the tailights .
They're truly running out of vehicle designs
Perfect for a funeral car ☠️⚰️
never even thought of it that way
😂😂😂😂😂
I want this in white and then I’d add a black wrap to the roof for contrast. It would look so nice. At least until that turbo 4 inevitably blows up 😂
Don't think a 2 tone will work well. The full glass panels are blacked out, so not much of a contrast.
@@Ak47ram It's okay to be wrong
I’m into buying Santa Fe this year. Question. Can preferred and XRT models choose interior colour Pecan Brown? Or is that colour only for upper models?
A Ford Flex and a Defender have been doing the nasty 🤮
This car looks ugly I like the old Santa Fe
I think the lower lights in the back work well with the overall design to visually pull the back end down and give it the appearance of weight. Your shot at 15:13 shows how the trim across the lower back angles down on the side to go to the same level as the side trim. Raising the rear lights would make the vehicle look airborne (and make it look like every other SUV).
How is the ride compared to a honda crv? Also, is the cruise control with lane assist as good as the crv/rav4 ?
That does NOT look like a defender.
Hopefully the reliability isn’t like one either.
Nah. It looks better! Probably more reliable too.
It resembles one in this color
Sure it does. You just have to squint your eyes a little
@@Godwasyourdog there are differences between the two there are no question. No one said their identical they just resemble each other That means there are similarities. Similarities doesn't mean an exact copy It doesn't mean there are no differences It just means there are similarities
We had a 2018 A5 coupe and Sportback, and our golden retriever loved resting his head on the volume knob, which either blasted the stereo or put everything on mute. He also reset the MMI with the controller a few times.
Are the turn signals (indicators) at the rear red or amber coloured? Thanks.
Great job guys.
Great video, any word when the hybrids will be hitting Canada?
Love the Britax rear facing car seat reference. Really puts into perspective the space for a car seat
The reverse lights are at the BAAAHHHHTAAM! Haha that made me laugh the way he said that.
LOL
Can you do a comparison of this vs land cruiser and GX? Id love to hear your thoughts!
Guru why do you prefer wired Apple CarPlay? Is it less buggy?
Gorgeous interior. Great review.
It honestly looks so good. I truly want to look into it for my next car.
I love my 2021 Santa Fe and everything about it except I would prefer a stick for the transmission but the 2.5 twin turbo 4 cylinder is bad ass! I love the headlights, the interior, ALL PHYSICAL BUTTONS!!!
I will not be upgrading to the 24. Not a fan of the new design. Don’t need three rows so the 2 row works better as well.
I’m just under 50k miles and wouldn’t change it for anything less than a Porsche Macan. And that warranty!! Yeah baby!
The XRT trim in dark green looks clean af 🔥 🔥 🔥 👀
They put the lights that low cause it’s the line from the top of the wheel well! If it was moved up they would have to be up to the shoulder line like on all other vehicles! I see why and it’s smart!
How does it look under the hood? Are things easily accessible?
This is a great SUV! Great review!
It looks so much better with the taillights higher up
Love the new look!
Are you guys going to review that 2024 Elantra NLine you guys showed? Want to hear your thoughts
Looks good...what happen to the rear rear?
This is a really impressive SUV...love everything about it. It's actually brilliant to make the base vehicle hybrid given fuel prices are creeping up again... Betcha bottom dollar these are going to sell well..
Yall should start showing whats under the hood, interested in how different manufacturers display their engine bays
I've been waiting for a while for you guys to make this video
Nice video!! 👏 How tall are you? My hubby is 6'4 so hopefully he won't have any issues.....
6’1.5” mostly legs
If they shorten that wheel base and put a wheel on the back, they have a new #1 selling vehicle for their brand.
The limited and calligraphy also have fingerprint recognition which is set up through the "user profile" section of the menu. If someone takes your keys, they still can't drive the car. There is also an IR camera mounted on the steering column which will tell you to keep your eyes on the road when using HDA.
So they need to steal your finger too
@@mikevanderlinde9027 exactly.
It’s like a Christmas tree like stars every where!
Props to the ultra high res close up on the brushed aluminum.
Jakub, great looking Omega Speedmaster!
The back end of this thing remind me of a pretty popular kei/mini compact van that was sold all the way back in 1985 in Indonesia. It's called Daihatsu Hijet 1000 S70 minivan. I don't know if it was a global market or indonesian market only but it looks almost identical those two back ends.
Off topic, what watch does Jacob wear? Looking to expand my collection.
did you guys get the four dots on the steering wheel which is H in morse code?
