Carwow, I'm from Portugal and the most expensive Hyundai Santa Fe for sale in Portugal is the Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid 1.6 T-GDI PHEV Calligraphy Pack which costs 72 950€
I can’t believe how ugly the back of this car is. It’s like they smashed together every bad design choice possible. How did anyone think that was a good idea?
Hold mute button on the steereng wheel for three seconds to mute speed warning sound, and also press and hold for three seconds lane keeping assist button on the steereng wheel to turn it off✌️😎
Going to try this on my Hyundai tomorrow - lifesaver! I'd leave the speed warning on if it didn't just beep at me for going 1 mph over the speed limit, there's got to be a slight bit of give imo. As it is I disabled it every time.
19:23 You can deactivate Speedlimit Warning by long pressing on the mute switch and deactivate Lane Departure Warning by long pressing on the steering wheel button with the steering wheel on it.
It's definitely unique in it's own right, my wife said "I just saw a car with taillights that look like dog bones" and I immediately knew what she was talking about.
From the thumbnail I thought it was a knockoff defender 💀. Also yh this powertrain is somewhat quick but at full load on the highway it’s pretty gutless compared to the previously offered 2.2 crdi with 200 ish hp. I mean for the price it’s alright but long term reliability of that 1.6 petrol with such load is questionable to me. Also yh the rear end…what da heil is that?!

@@sivx17 I know that paying 72 thousand euros for a hybrid SUV from Hyundai, even though it is the brand's best car, is a lot and the hybrid SUV options for 72 thousand euros are much better in terms of engine and construction material, but it is to compete with Volkswagen , BMW, Mercedes and Audi
my mom has a Hyundai SUV. It's a really nice car, it's just way too many extra features for my taste. I don't want my car to literally move my steering wheel when i get close to a painted line in the road. The steering also feels very light which is common on Asian cars. I prefer a much stiffer steering feel. Definitely, not for me, but I think there are a lot of women out there who would like the features on these SUV's.
Matt you actually listened to me wow! 👏🏾 Thank you! these are the cars you need to be doing reviews on, not just coupes and hatchbacks people have family out here lol 😂
Gotta love the Koreans upping their game to the extent that we have viable GOOD alternates to the usual European suspects in the semi-luxury segment. And the long warranty periods say something about their reliability, as opposed to the expensive maintenance and repairs BMW, Audi, and Mercedes require. And lets not even talk about Range Rover and their reliability!
Nah their engine reliablity issues are becoming a huge problem for potential hyundai buyers at least in NA market. The long warranty periods dont mean anything as i found out with my 2023 Palisade (engine just turn off while driving). They put you through tons of hoops to deny your claim. Dont believe their so called 'long warranties'.
This is nothing about going out of confort zone. This is purely ugly. And obviously there are many ways to go out of confort zone WITHOUT presenting such a poor design.
That's because the design is horrendous. And not just the rear. There is no design - it's two cubes stuck together on wheels. Stuck on wheelarches don't hide this fact.
The stopping of charging when you open the door is good. Because when our phones go off charge the screen lights up, so you wouldn't ever leave your phone in the car coz you'd notice it light up.
Wait a second, did he just say it was legitimate to compare it to an Audi Q7? Lol. These things go for $50k in Canada and the Q7s get up over $100k. The Audis are built like a luxury tank and weigh up to 800lbs more than these.
I think the design team made the rear less appealing so that more people would talk about it, which automatically gives it good reach. People will say, ‘Oh, this is the Hyundai Santa Fe.’ Maybe the next Santa Fe will have a better design, and people will say, ‘This looks great, I’m going to buy it!’ 😂
They make it look futuristic with the curved screens. They are NOT good. I tried it myself. It looks pretty, but the interface isn't at great. Don't let it fool you. Also, 50 000 pounds is way too much. Just go for an X3. Yes, the new one. The only difference is that it doesn't have a 3rd row. Solution: just throw the kids in trunk 😂
Have a 20 year old Santa Fe here, which is quite usable off road. This monstrosity is so low to the ground, that there is no way it can survive even easy off roading.
I mean except for the back there's little to dislike. It's a big spacious car with GENERALLY good looks and an improved BMW dash, may with lower quality but yeah, for the price amazing value one's getting out of this. I just wish they had some stronger engines, if you load up 5 people in this car and their baggage to go on a holiday, like I would imagine one might buy a car like this for, this thing will rly struggle to accelerate.
Its like they assigned the world most famous designer to draw it from the front, but theyre out of budget and give it to ceo son to draw the back. Nobody dared to say it was ugly.
I made a test ride myself recently, and due to new EU regulations the car was always and for everything beeping at me...i was so annoyed that i decided to go for a used skoda kodiaq (where you can turn everything off permanently)....other than that i think the hyundai is a great looking and performing SUV.
Loved the style, space and design... But I am just NOT sold on a 1.6ltr engine for £50,000. I also struggle with the "rear" of every Hyundai... The Kona is particularly dreadful.
The rear view will take some time to catch on, but there is a length of 6'6" from the rear door to the back of the front seats with the rear seats folded down. That means you can sleep in it..........
if u want to keep your audience healthy,change the cameraman,its a car review not filming Blue Angels loops-i didnt enjoy the car as much as i wanted even its vfm
The rear looks like one of those Toyota privia imports from the UAE. The FE front also looks like an old ford explorer (think Jurassic park). And what's with the 2 prong socket? 🤔🤔 Gona charge your toothbrush or shaver in the boot? 🤭🤭
Finally! I have been waiting for this test. Driven it myself and finally ordered new volvo xc90. Price difference was not that big with the discount from Volvo, but the quality was waaaaaaaaay better. This ECO fake-leather in the hyundai was truly awful. Shame, especially that I loved the design of new santa fe.
Dunno. The measly 1.1 tonne towing capacity would put me off. I do like dragging big trailers around and I've been known to stick the odd caravan on too.

The engines are great :)
@@mihaicostel5883 no they are not. (except of the N models)
I don't mind the rear. That's for people behind me 😅
Make it so bloody blunt and memorable?
According to the engineer interview, Hyundai sacrificed rear design for fully-opening trunk
0:47 bruh I thought this was a van or something 💀
Fr at first I thought it was the new Dacia Jogger lmao.
I can’t believe how ugly the back of this car is. It’s like they smashed together every bad design choice possible. How did anyone think that was a good idea?
I think it's interesting, wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me
nah mate , i think this suits this car . i love the rear of it .
True, really ugly😅
I think the whole thing's ugly. And way too many switches inside. And 4 cylinders?? No thanks.

The interior design is actually impressive.
All brands have become premium nowadays. At least they try
Easy money off uninformed fools
Except the actual premium brands, too much cost cutting
@@yuxuanxiao9285yes the real premium cut costs, the lower brands try to upgrade. Now you can find a Renault or a Hyundai with 50K
@@yuxuanxiao9285i agree 💯
Wow, This Hyundai must be really good to have a 20:00 minute video.

I believe they design that rear end last night before the due date 😅
Small engines also impacts reliability and longevity.
4:09 did you just reach for the centre gearstick while explaining how the stork is so easy?😅
🤦🏼♂️
Every time you post, I'm excited!
Just saw this monster on the road... A tank! Great front lights.
This is rather small for how big it looks. Not really a monster on the road, imo.
I want one for the school run, if only it were bigger!
what happened to the rear 😭
I have arrived due to a carwow notification. Must watch.
It's definitely unique in it's own right, my wife said "I just saw a car with taillights that look like dog bones" and I immediately knew what she was talking about.

You can turn off lane assist
And you can change steering wheel feel. If you change steering wheel to sport itll be stiffer
4:15 Mat looked down as he thought the gear selector was down in the centre console
The name doesn't do this incredible machine justice! It also needs some bigger engines, other than that, what a legend!
The X-trail is a class smaller mate.
Except the engines are blowing up as the new owners leave the dealership lol

I can binge these videos all day!
I could slap you an entire week
Best looking rear end 😂.
What the hell is that
Mat is the kinda guy who puts the milk in first when making cereal
Who wants a tank Matt, even a tank goes faster than that
I saw one of these in real life the other day.. absolutely disgusting 💀😂
Finally, why did it take so long for the review of this car when it has been out for almost a year now.
The unimaginative people in the comments can’t appreciate a brand actually going out of the comfort zone when it comes to design
This is nothing about going out of confort zone. This is purely ugly. And obviously there are many ways to go out of confort zone WITHOUT presenting such a poor design.
That's because the design is horrendous. And not just the rear. There is no design - it's two cubes stuck together on wheels. Stuck on wheelarches don't hide this fact.
You can mute all the alerts by pressing and holing the mute button. (part of the Santa Fe training team Tom)
The stopping of charging when you open the door is good. Because when our phones go off charge the screen lights up, so you wouldn't ever leave your phone in the car coz you'd notice it light up.
The gear selector is in such a logical place that you naturally went from the transmission tunnel first 😂
I like the transition at 11:22 Well done!

5:04 - Triumph TR7 😁
Idk man I'd probably take the Sorento or the Kodiaq over this car, mainly because they're offered with diesels
I would look at this car in 40 years again hyundai doesn't hold its value very well
The vast majority of cars don’t.
They make it look futuristic with the curved screens. They are NOT good. I tried it myself. It looks pretty, but the interface isn't at great. Don't let it fool you.

4:10
Did he just said the location of the gear selector is handy while reaching his hand to the place were it should be?😂
I actually love the rear, the whole car give me the 80s vibe wich i love. Gonna consider this
That read is like someone tried to draw the first gen BMW X5 from memory
okay you reminded me of OMC - How Bizarre song, now I had to give it a listen. Thanks!
It looks like it was made in Minecraft
Love these….they’re selling a bunch over here in the US
marty mcfly ahh video, 2025 hasnt even dropped yet 😭
i think rear 3 quarters is the best view of this car , but then again i love the rear end of my ignis which everyone hates .
Hard to watch this in India, our Ratan Tata passed away today...
The rear of SantaFe looks like the front of a Volvo bus
Where is the Skoda Kodiaq video?
The back of the car looks like a 90s bus, but the inside is beautiful.
Santa fe has the worst rear design in the world 🌎.
+1
disagree, the kardasians have the worst rear in the world, this comes a close second
Just like your mum 😂😂
Not looking at the back when you're driving it lol😂
It looks sick at dusk / night
Carwow is best seller in uk🤑🤑😎😎
The front, the sides, THE INTERIOR!... Perfect... the rear... For Christ sake Hyundai, just WTF!!!... ARE YOU OFFERING A HEARSE OR AN SUV 😂
The back of the car needs to change some letters. You leave SAN and others change to YONG. That's what this new design looks like.
I almost trew up when I seen this car from the back on real life 😂
Hyundai: We're done copying other car company designs
Also Hyundai: turns the Santa Fe into a Land Rover clone.
Have a 20 year old Santa Fe here, which is quite usable off road. This monstrosity is so low to the ground, that there is no way it can survive even easy off roading.
This car looks FIRE in red color
a spare well on that tailgate could have helped to look better but they nailed Alcazar design which is only sold in Developing market.
Tiny engine, practical, economical, looks boxy yet sexy...is this the new Dacia Bigster? lol
