What Owners Say
"Great drive. Smooth with amazing gas mileage. Compares equally with my previous Toyota Highlander."
Anonymous, MI (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"The car has adequate power (could use a little more). The ride is quite bouncy on certain surfaces or better suspension. Overall handling is better than expected for a vehicle its size."
BRIAN B., WV (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"Electronics --door locks, seat belt connections, width"
Anonymous, VT (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"very good acceleration and great handling"
J D., WI (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"We travel by car to visit our country and never lack for acceleration on X ways or hills."
CISSY H., OH (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"The acceleration is surprisingly good and responsive. It handles very well for an SUV. It handles much better than or previous SUV, a 2004 Lexus GX."
BRIAN O., NM (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"Extremely responsive. Four drivewheel adjustments to fit a driver's preferences."
GUILLERMO M., PR (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"The steering is very responsive for a 5600 lb vehicle. The ride is comfortable, quiet, and poised (again, for a 5600 lb vehicle. We live in an area that gets a lot of snowfall, and the all-wheel drive is appreciated. It is faultless when coupled with Blizzack winter tires."

Robert A., AZ (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"The V-6 engine is powerful & smooth."
Anonymous, FL (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"Rear suspension coils are under-sized for the vehicle. As a result, it rolls in turns and bottoms out on speed bumps, etc."
Anonymous, VA (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"It accelerates fine and handles well on street, but is slightly wide when parking in parking lots. Have to park very carefully centered in order to avoid being trapped out of my car if next spot gets a person who parked too close."
Margery R., WA (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"Generally good acceleration and breaking however the transmission can be very slow to downshift and has trouble finding the correct gear after a sudden change in the accelerator pedal. It’s much worse when the Econ mode is engaged with downshifts so slow it can be dangerous."
Trevor A., MN (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"Great acceleration for such a spacious crossover/suv."
Anonymous, OH (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"Handles well for its size and style. Thanks all wheel drive is seamless and vehicle handles well in snow and other inclement weather."
Anonymous, NE (2014 Hyundai Santa Fe)"The acceleration and handling for this car is amazing--it is so smooth and fast."
