bought this in august, brought it home, wife was *unhappy* because she was expecting me to buy a q7 that we had driven 2 weeks prior. her honest reaction was "Hyundai? why? I don't like it." until she drove it. Now she's super happy and constantly driving it. Big thumbs up from our family.
Got one for my wife, went calligraphy on the trim, let’s just say Hyundai has blown me away and my wife feels like I just spent a million dollars to make her happy (I would if I had it) and she looks out the window just to catch another glimpse of it parked. Worth the test drive for those who haven’t driven one.
@@mezzb idk. I thought the 2011-2016 was okay looking but pf all generations, the 2017-2018 redesign looked best (modern but conservative, more timeless). 2019-2020 refresh was just bad with both exterior getting worse and interior changes made for the same of saying thry changed something. 2021 redesign is practical as it's lower and wider to add space and save fuel, but it's kind of a weird exterior.

I walked out of a Hyundai dealership ready to buy a Aston Martin but ended up walking right back in to buy this vehicle after watching a 11:58 Savagegeese video.
Same exactly i wasn’t ever at an AM boutique. I didn’t have a great experience with Hyundai sales or management team, caught them hiding my trade in saying it was shipped off to God knows where, I was pissed. But I did negotiate a great deal on a new Santa Fe after I called them out and I’m super happy with the Hyundai. It’s my 3rd one in the 9 years I’ve been driving. I also have had some older Mazda hand me downs. But none of my Hyundai’s have had any issues and unlike the crappy sales side, the service side has absolutely been fantastic to us! I always get a nice loaner when I call to schedule service. They really take care of everything and exceed my basic expectations. Of course all the manufacturers are pushing near perfect CSI survey scores the last 10 years or so since I was 16. I’m always getting emailed surveys.
Great car …. but. I’m reaching out to fellow 2021-22 Santa Fe Calligraphy owners. (2.5 T w/HTRAC) I’m vexed; the Radiator fan will randomly run at full speed for 1-2 mins. after I turn the engine off. The Dealer can’t find any sensor defects in the diag. We live in a mild climate; the engine is not being taxed when this happens. This can’t be normal. Is anyone out there experiencing this issue too? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated - Rick
Got the wife a 2020 Santa Fe when the 21's came out as they were knocking over $7K off. Have to say I'm massively impressed with this vehicle. Compared to competitor offerings at the price point, it's by far the most comfortable and drives incredibly smooth. It feels nicer than her previous X3. We'll see how it holds up long term but for the money, great job Hyundai.
I mean BMW has never been known for great interiors. They're extremely dated looking and quite unimpressive. Mazda was beating the x3 with their 29k CX5 in terms of creaking and build quality in the interior lmao
Totally agree. I really liked the pre refreshed version when it came out. Thought it would be a great replacement for my moms 2010 rx350. It was comparable in size, had better tech and was more user friendly and rode almost as nice. But my old school mom could couldn’t get over the fact that it was a Hyundai. I still think this is a great car for the price.
@@roboticvenom1935 to be honest I had a 2017 F30 335 and it creaked less than my mazda 3 2019 I drive now. But I really, really love the interior of the mazda 3 and that's one of the reason I bought it. Savageese review was the other reason.
@@savagegeese Please involve audio charts and test in all vehicles if possible, I feel really sad when there's a review with no mention of how the audio system is competing or which package is the best "bang for buck" :)
@@savagegeese that's fine, I just wanted you to know I and I think a lot appreciate it. I am glad you are working on that. Great review with a funny intro and great funny segment at the end to, hats off for another 10/10!
This guy is the best car reviewer in my opinion. He hits the facts but also the emotional aspect of reviewing the vehicle. Which is crucial when it comes to your own car shopping. I have bought the 17 Genesis G90 3.3T AWD after watching his review on it. No other gets in to his depth of details without making the 'normal' viewer bored with technical terms.
Nice energy in this review! Yes they are able to turn around and upgrade quickly these updates for Hyundai and Kia, nice to see even the gas pedal has been changed and attached to the floor, not sure how long they have been doing that in the Santa Fe, where as the 2021 Bronco still has the pedal setup of a Tempo, Not a fan of the single side exhaust, but surely will be something to compete with a cx9 as a value proposition given the sticker price, thanks guys!
Hyundai/Kia have had floor pedals in their vehicles for quite a while. My family and I have had several Hyundais including a 2014 Santa Fe, and they have had floor pedals
Nice to see a car review about the underside of the car with someone who knows the mechanics of it and whos not just a car salesman reading from the brochure. Keep it up
I wanted to like it when my wife and I went to look at one. It's weird enough on the outside to appeal to me. It's got plenty of power and gobs of room on the inside. But there were two things that ultimately turned me off to it, and sadly, neither of them had to do with the car I believe. The first is during the test drive, I didn't get to test drive it, at all. The most obnoxious, lead-footed sales guy took us out for a 3 mile roller coaster ride, all the while shouting obscenities about the other car dealerships he'd worked for in the past, and how this was so much better. When we got back to the dealership, we were coerced into a sales office and blocked off between our sales guy, the sales manager, and some other little hype man in a dealership polo for 45 minutes while we both furiously tried to explain how we weren't looking to purchase right that second, as we had two more cars to look at. Normally I can use my 6'3", 260lb frame to clear a path, but the sales guy was bigger. Once we did make it back out to our car, my back was killing me, and I can't decide if it was because the seats in the Santa Fe lacked the support in general, or they just couldn't handle the joyride we'd been taken on. Unfortunately, with that being the only Hyundai dealer in the area, I'm not going back to give it another try. I want to like it, but both Hyundai and Kia dealerships are still the reason I can't enjoy the Santa Fe, the new Tucson redesign, or the Stinger GT.
@@johnfetter3252 oh I mentioned Kia too. That one ended up with the cops having to come to retrieve my driver's license that they wouldn't return till I sat down to "run the numbers" which they wouldn't do without pulling a credit check.
This is such a Hyundai dealer thing to do, it's almost too relatable. As an i30N owner it pains me to even think about going to the dealer for servicing because of how incredibly trash the customer experience is. I would urge any mistreated customer to please contact the Hyundai support center and inform them on the behaviour of their employees. They are incredibly defensive and delusional in answering but at least you're not getting steam rolled for your money.
Is this really a thing in North-America? Over here they almost are throwing the keys in your face. And if they don't have the spec or engine they will make sure it will be there the next weekend. I am exaggerating, but I never went on a ride with a salesman in the car with me. Most of the time I called ahead, and the car was waiting, new of used..
Most likely out of business. Nobody buys these because of the brand they just want a cheap commuter. When Chinese EVs flood the market soon Hyundai will be first to go.
Was FALSELY promised frequency response graphs. Now how do I know if I can mix my debut Soundcloud rap album in my spanking new Santa Fe Calligraphy? Please advise.
Assuming you have the cash flow and the right management, I think it's easier for a new car company to improve fast and compete with established brands than it is for an established brand to remain good. This is just my guess and it may be a stretch but here's how it goes imho: the up and coming brand has an incentive to produce good stuff at a lower price if possible because it's got a reputation to build and marketshare to grab. They don't need to reinvent the wheel, instead just implement the best practices in the industry (ie. be like Toyota, don't be like Nissan) which is why they had actual automatic transmission instead of CVT like Nissan for a long time. In the case of Hyundai, it also helps that they're a metallurgy company too, sourcing most of the metal and high strength steel in-house, a competitive advantage so more money can go to development to do better or catch up to others. Compare that to established brands like GM and its subbrands, or Ford. The pressure is high to cut as many corners as possible because they already were established as big players decades before Hyundai even came to existence. The focus is pleasing shareholders, not building an image for reliability. Last but not least, Korean businesses are simply going after the market share of the Japanese, trying to replicate the Japanese business models that have worked. And it's working wonders for them. Today's Hyundais and Kias go toe to toe with the likes of Honda/Toyota. Samsung/LG all but dominate the home appliances and tech etc.
Crazy huh. They literally just started mass producing vehicles in mid 80's. Remember Daewoo? Jesus. Haha...I lived long enough to see that failed attempt. And then slowly, but surely, they got better & better. And for many things they've actually gone from just being competitive to leading. Wild...that's just 30 ish years.
@@Iamallwaysright1 Kinda like Honda in the 90s. Just make good cars and people will buy them. Eventually though they just end up selling a brand. I've been particularly disappointed with Toyota lately. I think they've gotten to comfortable.
They paid attention to what the better Japanese companies were doing. They also have an unusual degree of vertical integration, with metals companies also being related at a corporate level, as well as making their own transmissions and a lot more. That's the exact opposite of the Ametican makes, that used to be like that, but spun off all those subsidiaries years ago to generate cash, but lost control of their quality. If Hyundai transmissions are troublesome (as some have been), they get that division to redesign them. Ford or GM have to negotiate such changes, which takes time and costs money they don't want to spend. Their joint ten-speed is an example, having to meet the needs of numerous models in both companies. It can't be changed that easily.
Love it! Been looking for the PHEV version since seeing the Korean release of it. Got a chance to do a quick test drive the Hybrid with the 1.6T and it actually wasn't bad. The interior is quieter than I was expecting and it did have a comfortable ride. I've been partial to KIA vehicles and am waiting to see what the Sorento PHEV is like compared to the Santa Fe PHEV. It will be a toss up between the 2. Thanks for always keeping us entertained.
Hey SavageGeese! The other day, I purchased the new 2021 Mazda 3 Premium that I'd been looking at for a while. I just wanted to say thank you for your incredibly detailed video about that car and your other car reviews. You guys have a knack for looking at finer details and it really helped me with my new car purchase. :)
This review feels like Mark just wants to yell "IT'S GOOD!" then get into something more exciting and stop talking about another SUV. 😂 Great review though.
@@adamV1P Haha any suggestions on how to fix it? I had only received positive feedback for now. It's meant to be super simple and recognizable and that's about all. Plus look like a shift pattern obviously.
So, I bought the limited trim with a lot of accessories. - I changed my intake, filter, turbo sensors, map sensor and added an after market tune. And now this is the best daily driver I've ever owned. ....I have owned, E46s, W204s. Bottom line is, I don't care about the badging when you're getting this kind of value. Plus the insane warranty and free maintenance. I considered a GLC and Volvo's SUV etc... Then I saw this review a few months ago. And fast forward, money well spent..financed....(haggle!)
Just want to thank you for this review. We were looking to buy a gv70 and after this review and it's overview of it's tech and driving dynamics we picked one up and saved 15k. Keep doing what you do !!
@@zua1978 great it's a great car for the money, I paid 10k more for my 2022 Acura RDX and I'd say the Santa Fe competes in all the luxury/technology categories or even surpasses the Acura. The Acura is just more fun to drive
@@cdb5001 He is not reviewer, he is a showman. You get some general info about the cars, mostly correct, but most of the show is faking emotions and surprises.
@@nenadmil if Doug deMuro is your idea if a showman, I'd hate to go out to a party with you. Most boring party ever. Doug is awful. I can't stand him or his videos.
Yeah, much like other people in replies mentioned, Doug is not really a reviewer. He gets cool cars and neat things thanks to his 4+M subs, but at this point some of the things he wrongly describes or the features, he must be doing that on purpose. Either that or he doesn't care enough to find out (like calling Unimog hydraulic hookups "power outlets for electric power tools"). Easy things to verify or research, but he doesn't care. I'd rather he said "I am not sure what this does" instead of calling it a power plug.
Don’t know if I knew you personally if I would like you or not but, since that will probably never happen, I’m sure you would agree it is irrelevant. But, when it comes to car reviews I think you are hands-down the best. I enjoy and appreciate what you do. Thank you.
I like the physical controls in the center stack. All controls in the touch screen are a safety hazard as you have to take your eyes off the road. Kudos for common sense!
I miss the early/mid 2010's Mercedes button insanity. Sure, minimalist interiors with lots of screens look great in a magazine, but physical buttons are so much safer and easier to use than having to dig around 3 different menus to do simple stuff, like turn on a seat warmer. Kudos to Hyundai for physical buttons!
Thanks for a concise video that shows all the new features of the 2022. A month into the 2021 Santa Fe SEL and I'm in love. Nice little updates on the 2022. Highly recommend the 2021 as well
Just bought a 2022 hyundai santa fe limited hybrid. Seriously best car ever. We test drove and researched over 10+ cars. Hyundai is in a league of its own. Plus a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty to throw in the mix.
Gotta say, I watched a lot of the other popular car folks on here and I'm a little late to the Geese, but these guys are great. Just the perfect amount of odd, quick, informational, likeable, all of it. Well done!
Seems the latest trend for manufacturers is to add a multi syllable word for the highest trim level that is a relevant. Signature. Platinum reserve. Autobiography. Citadel.
I bought this car before their review and couldn’t figure out why there weren’t more reviews talking about how great this version was to drive. I was looking at Mercedes and BMW and Audi but went with this.
Great car …. but. I’m reaching out to fellow 2021-22 Santa Fe Calligraphy owners.

Mark, are you still happy with your Santa Fe? I have been a longtime BMW X3 owner and am thinking of switching to this model. The technology it comes with is better than a lot of luxury brands base and mid models.
Do you think that the Hyundai/Kia group's frequent redesigning of their vehicle's is going to hurt resale value as models just a few years old are outdated as soon as a new or very heavily refreshed model is released? I think the traditional 5-6 year model cycle with a mid-cycle refresh has kept, say, Toyota's prices stable, while it seems that Hyundai/Kia models can be had for far less money at the same age on the used market and it may be because of this reason. Just a postulation.
I think they are going with a startup model of constant change to really hone in on market trends. Every model seems to be two steps forward, one step back design wise but they steadily make progress.
Well as someone who buys cars 2 to 3 years old I can say I thoroughly enjoy the quality at basically 40 percent off msrp. My 2015 sonata limited was insanely roomy, feature packed, and comfortable. Not so great in snow though haha
I said this in the Veloster video, they change things so often they seem to have an identity crisis. Where many brands unify everything hyundai and kia are all over the place.
LOVE your reviews! Always exceptionally thorough and highly informative- thank you! Any chance you're planning on reviewing the new Hyundai Tucson hybrid soon?
This review’s give you a “TOP NOTCH” idea on how to decide which is which to choose with!….the presentations is amazing!…fair and square experience is remarkable…keep up the good work guys!….this Santa Fe 2021 is on 🔥 🔥 🔥!….
I bought a 2.4Turbo like this in Aug’22. Earlier this month I was thinking to replace it, I checked what is around today from Subaru, Honda and Toyota, looking for at least the same driving experience on twisty roads above 6500ft/2000mts, same interior space and quality, same torque even if it was a little more expensive, but no way!!! I decided to keep it. I’ll check again in two years.
Appreciate the piece with the car on the lift... it's the first time I was able to see the "nuts & bolts" underneath - and I've watched a lot of Santa Fe reviews on UA-cam.
I think you are the only ones to put the car on a ramp so we can have a look at the underside suspension etc. I like to watch that part of the presentation. Thankyou.
I thought my life was complete but now my Range Rover is for sale, just need to find a socket mum with some children, buy this car and then life will truly be perfect 😇
"Tony Salami" pulling a bait & switch.... YUP! Probably the only real negative aspect of dealing with these cars... Pulling up to a KIA dealer is and seeing them look at you like a pack of Hyenas... I'll still keep my 2012 thank you!
When I purchased my Santa Fe I told my salesman to convey to the finance man that I will not listen to any BS or extended warranty information or any other "add ons"..told him if I wasn't out of the office in 15 minutes I will "walk". Really enjoying my 2020 Santa Fe.
As always, great show boys. You've given us everything we need to know - except one key piece (and I'd like to see this implemented going forward in all reviews). As a portlier gentleman, one definitive selling feature of any vehicle is just how far back the front seat goes. When I'm stuck in traffic grinding it out on my daily commute - and I know I'm not the only one here - I sometimes need to grind one out myself, if you catch my drift. With all these fancy steering wheels, I need a seat that goes far back so I can hit the necessary 80 BPM to achieve optimal climax. So, a suggestion, please put the seats all the way back in these reviews going forward. Thanks!
I test drove one today. They finally did a model here in Canada called "Urban" which gives you leather without the Pano roof and normal gauges. I personally dont like Pano roofs, to much glass and added weight for no reason. Bummed about not getting the nice digital gauges but, meh. As for this 2.5T. Just incredible. Good lower end torque to get you up to speed pretty quick. Finally, a good sized based 4 cylinder in the 2.5 with a turbo. This is more than likely my next vehicle and to replace my 2014 Santa Fe with the 2.4 GDI, which for me has done its job well enough. Cheers, love your channel!
Great review , I just pre ordered a 2022 white exterior/beige interior Calligraphy based on your review. I called my dealer to change it to beige instead of black I love that look. Thanks Randy from Chilliwack BC.
We own a 2019 and 2020 S-F both are SEL 2.4 non turbo FWD models. They are a pleasure to drive and can average 33mpg on HWY. The SEL has all the standard safety features included, a super deal for $28,000. At $14K less than Calligraphy model it is a bargain..
And you won't have the trouble of any turbo lag and the DCT or "dual clutch" transmission issues. That the turbo engines will eventually be plagued with. Honestly, folks are already complaining about how "jerky" and slow it is too respond in stop and go traffic.
I do agree that it's very nice and you get a lot for the money. But after owning 5 Hyundai products and having a lot of issues with all of them I wouldn't buy another. It seems they change engines and transmissions so often that they never get the bugs worked out of any of them.
My ex bought a used kia two years old on its third transmission.. and that was just the beginning. I think to save time they just wire tie them in since they need to change them at every oil change.
Seems like Hyundai hit another home run with this updated Santa Fe. Very, very appealing vehicle. Hyundai mastered high-value cars for low prices for decades. They're still great at that, but now they're mastering luxury looks and feel for their respective class and price. It was one of the reasons I bought my 2018 Elantra. Compared to the other compact sedans I drove, it looked and felt premium. I was sold.
The “limited” trim comes in at about 40k and is very similar. I think this is a pretty cool pile - not many people are doing these larger 2 row crossovers that are fairly quick and comfy (besides like Lincoln and Range Rover but come on). Not sure I would take this over the CX5 but it puts a smile on my face to think about all the 25 year old women and empty nesters that will probably really enjoy this car
Subaru Outback XT is a great competitor. I'd love to see him review it, but having driven them while selling at a Subaru dealer, I can't recommend them enough (except for the fucking godawful infotainment).
@@granthemstreet3209 aspec trim is good enough for me also current rdx should have a lot of discount going on as acura is coming up with facelifted version pretty soon
I had a chance to test drive this a couple of months ago. Liked the ride, but didn’t like the wheels. Also didn’t like the 14% dealer markup. Even the sales guy said it was outrageous and that I ought to walk out. Took his advice.
Purchased the awd limited with turbo 4 for 38K…it is impressive…gobs of power for a midsize suv and interior is super comfy and convenient…although, 2 weeks after we bought it, check engine light came on…needed a new itm sensor for regulating the thermostat..$600 part…warranty covered, obviously. So, hopefully that’s just a hiccup and we’re on to a nice owner experience…time will tell.
Quite honestly, you should have went with the normal aspirated 190hp engine. The turbo lag off the line and more importantly that HORRIBLE DCT or "dual clutch" transmission is nothing but trouble. Those trannies are constantly hunting for the right gear in stop and go traffic. And their has already been quite a few complaints on how "jerky" feeling it is.
The downside of that kind of fibrous material they’re using for underbody and wheel well cladding is it gets packed with ice/snow in the winter, whereas the old smooth poly panels would just shed the ice. It’s a pretty big PITA.
@@GhostOfAMachine why? cuz it's got a 4-banger?? Or it's not a Raptor? I look at those Raptors and just laugh!!! They can't do what my little Civic can do with 1.5 liters of bang!

There is a video it FYI. ua-cam.com/video/2RB7otNfB1I/v-deo.html

This guy is the best car reviewer in my opinion. He hits the facts but also the emotional aspect of reviewing the vehicle. Which is crucial when it comes to your own car shopping. I have bought the 17 Genesis G90 3.3T AWD after watching his review on it. No other gets in to his depth of details without making the 'normal' viewer bored with technical terms.
Nice energy in this review! Yes they are able to turn around and upgrade quickly these updates for Hyundai and Kia, nice to see even the gas pedal has been changed and attached to the floor, not sure how long they have been doing that in the Santa Fe, where as the 2021 Bronco still has the pedal setup of a Tempo, Not a fan of the single side exhaust, but surely will be something to compete with a cx9 as a value proposition given the sticker price, thanks guys!
Hyundai/Kia have had floor pedals in their vehicles for quite a while.
My family and I have had several Hyundais including a 2014 Santa Fe, and they have had floor pedals
My 2016 Veloster R had the gas pedal on the floor as well. I liked it.
@@coreygarcia622 thanks! good to know, great to see the details like that are being implemented.
@@borisrz3080 thanks, silly detail but i do like that they dont cut corners there
Model T had the gas pedal mounted to the floor
I recently bought a 23' for my wife and I was very surprised how nice it is for the money. Hyundai has really stepped up their game.
Nice to see a car review about the underside of the car with someone who knows the mechanics of it and whos not just a car salesman reading from the brochure. Keep it up
SavageGeese makes me feel like a Synergistic Team Player; a Company Rock Star if you will.
Are ya adding value, son?!
I wanted to like it when my wife and I went to look at one. It's weird enough on the outside to appeal to me. It's got plenty of power and gobs of room on the inside. But there were two things that ultimately turned me off to it, and sadly, neither of them had to do with the car I believe. The first is during the test drive, I didn't get to test drive it, at all. The most obnoxious, lead-footed sales guy took us out for a 3 mile roller coaster ride, all the while shouting obscenities about the other car dealerships he'd worked for in the past, and how this was so much better. When we got back to the dealership, we were coerced into a sales office and blocked off between our sales guy, the sales manager, and some other little hype man in a dealership polo for 45 minutes while we both furiously tried to explain how we weren't looking to purchase right that second, as we had two more cars to look at. Normally I can use my 6'3", 260lb frame to clear a path, but the sales guy was bigger. Once we did make it back out to our car, my back was killing me, and I can't decide if it was because the seats in the Santa Fe lacked the support in general, or they just couldn't handle the joyride we'd been taken on.
Unfortunately, with that being the only Hyundai dealer in the area, I'm not going back to give it another try. I want to like it, but both Hyundai and Kia dealerships are still the reason I can't enjoy the Santa Fe, the new Tucson redesign, or the Stinger GT.
That must’ve been Tony Salami Hyundai that Mark mentioned. Too bad you didn’t hang around long enough to meet the extended warranty guy.
Ouch. And I thought I had some very bad stealer ship experiences.
@@johnfetter3252 oh I mentioned Kia too. That one ended up with the cops having to come to retrieve my driver's license that they wouldn't return till I sat down to "run the numbers" which they wouldn't do without pulling a credit check.
This is such a Hyundai dealer thing to do, it's almost too relatable. As an i30N owner it pains me to even think about going to the dealer for servicing because of how incredibly trash the customer experience is. I would urge any mistreated customer to please contact the Hyundai support center and inform them on the behaviour of their employees. They are incredibly defensive and delusional in answering but at least you're not getting steam rolled for your money.
Is this really a thing in North-America? Over here they almost are throwing the keys in your face. And if they don't have the spec or engine they will make sure it will be there the next weekend.
I am exaggerating, but I never went on a ride with a salesman in the car with me. Most of the time I called ahead, and the car was waiting, new of used..
Not even interested in owning this thing...but I still enjoy watching!! Well done
Hyundai has definitely improved with this design. Can't imagine what they'll be doing in 10 years.
Most likely out of business. Nobody buys these because of the brand they just want a cheap commuter. When Chinese EVs flood the market soon Hyundai will be first to go.
Seems like Hyundai is doing fine to me
@@markm0000 This comment has aged like milk…
Was FALSELY promised frequency response graphs. Now how do I know if I can mix my debut Soundcloud rap album in my spanking new Santa Fe Calligraphy? Please advise.
How did Hyundai go from junk just a few years ago to now making extremely compelling cars for the money… truly impressive.
That’s how the Koreans roll lol
Assuming you have the cash flow and the right management, I think it's easier for a new car company to improve fast and compete with established brands than it is for an established brand to remain good.
This is just my guess and it may be a stretch but here's how it goes imho: the up and coming brand has an incentive to produce good stuff at a lower price if possible because it's got a reputation to build and marketshare to grab. They don't need to reinvent the wheel, instead just implement the best practices in the industry (ie. be like Toyota, don't be like Nissan) which is why they had actual automatic transmission instead of CVT like Nissan for a long time. In the case of Hyundai, it also helps that they're a metallurgy company too, sourcing most of the metal and high strength steel in-house, a competitive advantage so more money can go to development to do better or catch up to others.
Compare that to established brands like GM and its subbrands, or Ford. The pressure is high to cut as many corners as possible because they already were established as big players decades before Hyundai even came to existence. The focus is pleasing shareholders, not building an image for reliability.
Last but not least, Korean businesses are simply going after the market share of the Japanese, trying to replicate the Japanese business models that have worked. And it's working wonders for them. Today's Hyundais and Kias go toe to toe with the likes of Honda/Toyota. Samsung/LG all but dominate the home appliances and tech etc.
Crazy huh. They literally just started mass producing vehicles in mid 80's. Remember Daewoo? Jesus. Haha...I lived long enough to see that failed attempt. And then slowly, but surely, they got better & better. And for many things they've actually gone from just being competitive to leading. Wild...that's just 30 ish years.
@@Iamallwaysright1 Kinda like Honda in the 90s. Just make good cars and people will buy them. Eventually though they just end up selling a brand. I've been particularly disappointed with Toyota lately. I think they've gotten to comfortable.
They paid attention to what the better Japanese companies were doing. They also have an unusual degree of vertical integration, with metals companies also being related at a corporate level, as well as making their own transmissions and a lot more.
That's the exact opposite of the Ametican makes, that used to be like that, but spun off all those subsidiaries years ago to generate cash, but lost control of their quality. If Hyundai transmissions are troublesome (as some have been), they get that division to redesign them. Ford or GM have to negotiate such changes, which takes time and costs money they don't want to spend. Their joint ten-speed is an example, having to meet the needs of numerous models in both companies. It can't be changed that easily.
Review was so fast-paced I think I came out finishing this video feeling younger then before.
Love the drone/camera work guys!
Love it! Been looking for the PHEV version since seeing the Korean release of it. Got a chance to do a quick test drive the Hybrid with the 1.6T and it actually wasn't bad. The interior is quieter than I was expecting and it did have a comfortable ride. I've been partial to KIA vehicles and am waiting to see what the Sorento PHEV is like compared to the Santa Fe PHEV. It will be a toss up between the 2. Thanks for always keeping us entertained.
Hey SavageGeese! The other day, I purchased the new 2021 Mazda 3 Premium that I'd been looking at for a while. I just wanted to say thank you for your incredibly detailed video about that car and your other car reviews. You guys have a knack for looking at finer details and it really helped me with my new car purchase. :)
They need to release a Netflix comedy special of this man ranting. That intro was GOLD
This review feels like Mark just wants to yell "IT'S GOOD!" then get into something more exciting and stop talking about another SUV. 😂 Great review though.
You gotta fix your avatar. Its like the bad tattoo pic. Car people will still figure it out if you fix it.
He could just tweet "Santa Fe" and see how that goes. 😆
@@adamV1P Haha any suggestions on how to fix it? I had only received positive feedback for now. It's meant to be super simple and recognizable and that's about all. Plus look like a shift pattern obviously.
@@Dowlphin Pretty much. Maybe "Santa Fe! :)"
Their "boring" cars reviews are far more entertaining to watch than the ones about 100k$ cars.
What I don’t like with Hyundai/Kia is that I always prefer the exterior of one with the interior of the other.
Kia usually has great exteriors and hyundai great interiors
@@jacobrael9872 Agreed. I usually prefer the Kia exterior and the low-gloss Hyundai interior.
@@jacobrael9872 Telluride exterior and Palisade interior, please!
3:37 this genuinely made me laugh out loud. Thank you
So, I bought the limited trim with a lot of accessories.
- I changed my intake, filter, turbo sensors, map sensor and added an after market tune.
And now this is the best daily driver I've ever owned. ....I have owned, E46s, W204s.
Bottom line is, I don't care about the badging when you're getting this kind of value. Plus the insane warranty and free maintenance. I considered a GLC and Volvo's SUV etc... Then I saw this review a few months ago. And fast forward, money well spent..financed....(haggle!)
Loving those intro shots and a candid Jack setting up the camera outside
Just want to thank you for this review. We were looking to buy a gv70 and after this review and it's overview of it's tech and driving dynamics we picked one up and saved 15k. Keep doing what you do !!
So a year later how's your experience with the Santa Fe been?
@@zua1978 great it's a great car for the money, I paid 10k more for my 2022 Acura RDX and I'd say the Santa Fe competes in all the luxury/technology categories or even surpasses the Acura. The Acura is just more fun to drive
Not even Douglas J Double Shirt Demuro could make me watch a video about a Hyundai SUV/ Crossover/ Whatever. Congratulations, gentlemen.
Doug sucks. Awful reviewer.
@@cdb5001 He is not reviewer, he is a showman. You get some general info about the cars, mostly correct, but most of the show is faking emotions and surprises.
@@nenadmil if Doug deMuro is your idea if a showman, I'd hate to go out to a party with you. Most boring party ever. Doug is awful. I can't stand him or his videos.
Yeah, much like other people in replies mentioned, Doug is not really a reviewer. He gets cool cars and neat things thanks to his 4+M subs, but at this point some of the things he wrongly describes or the features, he must be doing that on purpose.
Either that or he doesn't care enough to find out (like calling Unimog hydraulic hookups "power outlets for electric power tools"). Easy things to verify or research, but he doesn't care. I'd rather he said "I am not sure what this does" instead of calling it a power plug.
Don’t know if I knew you personally if I would like you or not but, since that will probably never happen, I’m sure you would agree it is irrelevant. But, when it comes to car reviews I think you are hands-down the best. I enjoy and appreciate what you do. Thank you.
I like the physical controls in the center stack. All controls in the touch screen are a safety hazard as you have to take your eyes off the road. Kudos for common sense!
I miss the early/mid 2010's Mercedes button insanity. Sure, minimalist interiors with lots of screens look great in a magazine, but physical buttons are so much safer and easier to use than having to dig around 3 different menus to do simple stuff, like turn on a seat warmer. Kudos to Hyundai for physical buttons!
I subscribed, and my E.D. has improved significantly. Thank you Savagegeese!
Thanks for a concise video that shows all the new features of the 2022. A month into the 2021 Santa Fe SEL and I'm in love. Nice little updates on the 2022. Highly recommend the 2021 as well
This is gold, best episode since the Lexus LC
Just bought a 2022 hyundai santa fe limited hybrid. Seriously best car ever. We test drove and researched over 10+ cars. Hyundai is in a league of its own. Plus a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty to throw in the mix.
Looks like Mark was having some fun with the Drone shots!
Flashing the drone is straight gold!!
Gotta say, I watched a lot of the other popular car folks on here and I'm a little late to the Geese, but these guys are great. Just the perfect amount of odd, quick, informational, likeable, all of it. Well done!
You guys really put out the absolute best car review content.
This is almost as good as the time you used the bathroom during the live stream… true live streaming
His game is stepping up! 🤣🥲
Gotta livestream the action
Seems the latest trend for manufacturers is to add a multi syllable word for the highest trim level that is a relevant. Signature. Platinum reserve. Autobiography. Citadel.
Infiniti has the monograph trim
Jack’s “My vision blurred there Mark” made me chuckle more than it should 😂
the level of sarcasm is of the chart. well done
Calligraphy is fun! You should try it! Bro, your vids are better than anything on television nowadays! CRAZZZYYYYY!
Tony Salami is my brother :) glad he got recognition for his years of work at Samsung kia
I love the music selection for every video. Brutal! Magnificent work!
I bought this car before their review and couldn’t figure out why there weren’t more reviews talking about how great this version was to drive.
I was looking at Mercedes and BMW and Audi but went with this.
Great car …. but. I’m reaching out to fellow 2021-22 Santa Fe Calligraphy owners. (2.5 T w/HTRAC) I’m vexed; the Radiator fan will randomly run at full speed for 1-2 mins. after I turn the engine off. The Dealer can’t find any sensor defects in the diag. We live in a mild climate; the engine is not being taxed when this happens. This can’t be normal. Is anyone out there experiencing this issue too? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated - Rick
Mark, are you still happy with your Santa Fe? I have been a longtime BMW X3 owner and am thinking of switching to this model. The technology it comes with is better than a lot of luxury brands base and mid models.
@@_M_N for sure!
Do you think that the Hyundai/Kia group's frequent redesigning of their vehicle's is going to hurt resale value as models just a few years old are outdated as soon as a new or very heavily refreshed model is released? I think the traditional 5-6 year model cycle with a mid-cycle refresh has kept, say, Toyota's prices stable, while it seems that Hyundai/Kia models can be had for far less money at the same age on the used market and it may be because of this reason. Just a postulation.
I think they are going with a startup model of constant change to really hone in on market trends. Every model seems to be two steps forward, one step back design wise but they steadily make progress.
Well as someone who buys cars 2 to 3 years old I can say I thoroughly enjoy the quality at basically 40 percent off msrp. My 2015 sonata limited was insanely roomy, feature packed, and comfortable. Not so great in snow though haha
I said this in the Veloster video, they change things so often they seem to have an identity crisis. Where many brands unify everything hyundai and kia are all over the place.
I think that they will soon reach stability. One aspect that I do believe they will always keep doing leaps is in the tech department.
I don't know they can make changes so often and still make money.
LOVE your reviews! Always exceptionally thorough and highly informative- thank you! Any chance you're planning on reviewing the new Hyundai Tucson hybrid soon?
This review’s give you a “TOP NOTCH” idea on how to decide which is which to choose with!….the presentations is amazing!…fair and square experience is remarkable…keep up the good work guys!….this Santa Fe 2021 is on 🔥 🔥 🔥!….
I bought a 2.4Turbo like this in Aug’22. Earlier this month I was thinking to replace it, I checked what is around today from Subaru, Honda and Toyota, looking for at least the same driving experience on twisty roads above 6500ft/2000mts, same interior space and quality, same torque even if it was a little more expensive, but no way!!! I decided to keep it. I’ll check again in two years.
I'll forever remember the Sante Fe as the car where we saw Savage Geese topless.
Love the cinematography as always
I think this has to be the best video ever!
Honestly cannot wait to see your film on the new Lexus NX. Hope it will be this year! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Appreciate the piece with the car on the lift... it's the first time I was able to see the "nuts & bolts" underneath - and I've watched a lot of Santa Fe reviews on UA-cam.
I think you are the only ones to put the car on a ramp so we can have a look at the underside suspension etc. I like to watch that part of the presentation. Thankyou.
Only problem I have is the rear indicator lights that’s honestly a deal breaker because that could be very dangerous
Mark is so energized you could plug wires in him and run your local Arby's for 19:53 +/- 2 hours depending on workload!
I thought my life was complete but now my Range Rover is for sale, just need to find a socket mum with some children, buy this car and then life will truly be perfect 😇
Got mine yesterday love it 💯
The descriptions are so good you cant tell if it is scripted or not
"Tony Salami" pulling a bait & switch.... YUP! Probably the only real negative aspect of dealing with these cars... Pulling up to a KIA dealer is and seeing them look at you like a pack of Hyenas... I'll still keep my 2012 thank you!
Oh yes a dozen of them drop their cigarettes and run at you
Keep that paid for ride lol
When I purchased my Santa Fe I told my salesman to convey to the finance man that I will not listen to any BS or extended warranty information or any other "add ons"..told him if I wasn't out of the office in 15 minutes I will "walk". Really enjoying my 2020 Santa Fe.
As always, great show boys. You've given us everything we need to know - except one key piece (and I'd like to see this implemented going forward in all reviews). As a portlier gentleman, one definitive selling feature of any vehicle is just how far back the front seat goes. When I'm stuck in traffic grinding it out on my daily commute - and I know I'm not the only one here - I sometimes need to grind one out myself, if you catch my drift. With all these fancy steering wheels, I need a seat that goes far back so I can hit the necessary 80 BPM to achieve optimal climax. So, a suggestion, please put the seats all the way back in these reviews going forward.
Thanks!
I hate working on fat people cars. Especially interior stuff. Yes, it's obvious without ever seeing the customer.
What in the hell did I just read? Lolz!!!!
I test drove one today. They finally did a model here in Canada called "Urban" which gives you leather without the Pano roof and normal gauges. I personally dont like Pano roofs, to much glass and added weight for no reason. Bummed about not getting the nice digital gauges but, meh. As for this 2.5T. Just incredible. Good lower end torque to get you up to speed pretty quick. Finally, a good sized based 4 cylinder in the 2.5 with a turbo. This is more than likely my next vehicle and to replace my 2014 Santa Fe with the 2.4 GDI, which for me has done its job well enough. Cheers, love your channel!
Great review , I just pre ordered a 2022 white exterior/beige interior Calligraphy based on your review. I called my dealer to change it to beige instead of black I love that look.
Thanks Randy from Chilliwack BC.
Great review. Will you guys be getting a chance at the new Lexus IS?
We own a 2019 and 2020 S-F both are SEL 2.4 non turbo FWD models. They are a pleasure to drive and can average 33mpg on HWY. The SEL has all the standard safety features included, a super deal for $28,000. At $14K less than Calligraphy model it is a bargain..
And you won't have the trouble of any turbo lag and the DCT or "dual clutch" transmission issues. That the turbo engines will eventually be plagued with. Honestly, folks are already complaining about how "jerky" and slow it is too respond in stop and go traffic.
@@tomtalker2000 I agree 100%....
We are super satisfied with both our SFs .
BUT ~Wish we could find better riding tires ?
I do agree that it's very nice and you get a lot for the money. But after owning 5 Hyundai products and having a lot of issues with all of them I wouldn't buy another.
It seems they change engines and transmissions so often that they never get the bugs worked out of any of them.
My ex bought a used kia two years old on its third transmission.. and that was just the beginning. I think to save time they just wire tie them in since they need to change them at every oil change.
@@cayman9873 that sucks.. my 13 Elantra Limited is holding up pretty good considering how I drive… it has 176k miles on it.
That launch was brutal. 4 cylinders are getting out of control, talk about pure excitement.
I love the random adolescent humor randomly mixed in with all this gorgeous production value.
I own a new Hyundai, the infotainment system is one of the best in automotive industry
Seems like Hyundai hit another home run with this updated Santa Fe. Very, very appealing vehicle. Hyundai mastered high-value cars for low prices for decades. They're still great at that, but now they're mastering luxury looks and feel for their respective class and price. It was one of the reasons I bought my 2018 Elantra. Compared to the other compact sedans I drove, it looked and felt premium. I was sold.
The “limited” trim comes in at about 40k and is very similar. I think this is a pretty cool pile - not many people are doing these larger 2 row crossovers that are fairly quick and comfy (besides like Lincoln and Range Rover but come on). Not sure I would take this over the CX5 but it puts a smile on my face to think about all the 25 year old women and empty nesters that will probably really enjoy this car
I would go with acura rdx as it is a lot more fun to drive and similar in size
@@Ecuador006 new RDX is like 49k once you add on SHAWD and advance package, which is IMO required in order to make it worth buying
Subaru Outback XT is a great competitor. I'd love to see him review it, but having driven them while selling at a Subaru dealer, I can't recommend them enough (except for the fucking godawful infotainment).
@@granthemstreet3209 aspec trim is good enough for me also current rdx should have a lot of discount going on as acura is coming up with facelifted version pretty soon
@@granthemstreet3209 they certainly loved this tho. The cx5 is very cramped and doesn’t have nearly as much tech as this.
0:55 gamechanger indeed. I have never seen Jack so yoked before.
Love your channel, guys you’re doing an amazing job with a no bullshit approach.
Looking forward to the Cancun episodes.
I had a chance to test drive this a couple of months ago. Liked the ride, but didn’t like the wheels. Also didn’t like the 14% dealer markup. Even the sales guy said it was outrageous and that I ought to walk out. Took his advice.
Excellent video, captured everything.
Can't wait to see you guys review the Santa Cruz
Purchased the awd limited with turbo 4 for 38K…it is impressive…gobs of power for a midsize suv and interior is super comfy and convenient…although, 2 weeks after we bought it, check engine light came on…needed a new itm sensor for regulating the thermostat..$600 part…warranty covered, obviously. So, hopefully that’s just a hiccup and we’re on to a nice owner experience…time will tell.
And so it starts. Best of luck to you…thank goodness for the warranty.
Quite honestly, you should have went with the normal aspirated 190hp engine. The turbo lag off the line and more importantly that HORRIBLE DCT or "dual clutch" transmission is nothing but trouble. Those trannies are constantly hunting for the right gear in stop and go traffic. And their has already been quite a few complaints on how "jerky" feeling it is.
I was almost going to shop the FWD variant. Thank you for this review!
Goose will be at 500 k subs by the end of summer.
6:15 -- If you've ever wanted to see Mark in the thralls of ecstasy.
Seriously the funniest four seconds ever. Mark's face and Jack saying, "My vision blurred there, Mark."
The downside of that kind of fibrous material they’re using for underbody and wheel well cladding is it gets packed with ice/snow in the winter, whereas the old smooth poly panels would just shed the ice. It’s a pretty big PITA.
I don't give a single shit about the Hyundai Santa Sleigh, but this is the best auto review video I've seen in a long time
Nice review. I like the Rambo T Shirt.
