Driving Experience

Includes acceleration and handling

What Owners Say

"It has pep and drives smooth both on the highway and regular roads."

Anonymous, IL (2015 Hyundai Santa Fe)

"The 6 speed automatic transmission is amazing. If the car is not loaded or pulling a 3,200# it seems to know when to shift and holds it there and even retards downhill. Going to make brakes last longer. V6 engine has as much power as GM 5.7 engines."

ROBERT B., OR (2015 Hyundai Santa Fe)

"Acceleration is excellent. Suspension is a bit soft in my opinion. Lots of bounce in the shocks /springs (more than I would like)."

GARY L., AB (2015 Hyundai Santa Fe)

"too hair-trigger on gas for first two gears. need less hair-trigger for take off from stop. gear selector hard to reach R (reverse) from Park. Always goes into N from Park when trying to use R. need to make it smoother to select R from Park. steering wheel design does not provide comfort for hand placements, especially on lower half of steering wheel."

Comfort

Includes seats, climate control, noise, and ride

What Owners Say

"It is a great car for the money. I wish they would put out a premium version that was quieter, had a little better seats and had the ride of a "luxury vehicle". I wish Lexus had its cabin space and backseat "reclineabilty" and Hyundai had the Lexus luxury"

PATRICK K., FL (2015 Hyundai Santa Fe)

"A lot of car seats are heated, but this is the first car I've owned with air conditioned seats. Living in the southwest where summers are very hot, the A/C seats make driving much more enjoyable"

GARY J., OK (2015 Hyundai Santa Fe)

"Incredibly comfortable seating with a very responsive heating, cooling feature. Drives like an upscale sedan rather than a 7 seat SUV. Great use of space with ample cargo area. The panorama sun roof is amazing with easy push button control."

BARBARA R., NC (2015 Hyundai Santa Fe)

"The seats have cool flow which is great in Florida but are not as comfortable as chevy Tahoe"
