Picked my magnetic grey ultimate Santa-fe up 2 weeks ago... Can't fault it... Best car I've bought to date. Not seen another on the road yet so it's getting loads of attention.

Looking objectively, you can see why the Korean car manufacturers are doing well. Relatively their cars for each segment offer good value for money, warranty and look modern. Compare this to a JLR / German 7 seater it’s a bargain (and probably won’t break). Good review Ped, keep up the good work.

I bought a 2010 Santa Fe 2.2 just for towing, I didn't go looking for one, it was just there. It looks OK from some angles but it will never win a beauty contest. That aside, it drives so much better than I ever expected and I find myself using it out of preference. At 146k miles it's still quiet, frugal, dependable and comfortable. This has made me and my wife think more about buying a more modern version. They feel well screwed together and the fit n finish excellent. We are averaging 37mpg which is not bad for a large 4x4 truck.

Looks like they’ve got this market sewn up then. Unless you’re someone who’s intent on brand snobbery, this appears to be a very well thought out and practical family car.
Definitely agree about the light interior, makes a huge difference.

[dimsoneill]

They have nailed it. The big N are making some of the best cars right now

[Marc-qpbr]

Saw a dark grey one today, it has some road presence!! The H front lights look great. Had to overtake it to see what it was now I'm here!!

I haver a test drive next week. Looks an interesting and practical vehicle. Great camping idea, good PR!

[coltoncleveringa]

My wife and I both really liked this review Sir Pete! It’s a good looking family suv! Definitely worth a look at! Great video!!

[matthewrumble]

Great vid Pete. That back end reminds me a lot of the old '90s SsangYong Musso... Not a huge fan of that particular angle, but otherwise looks v Land Rover Defender-esque and very cool. 👍

(Oh, and that drone morning shot was class 👌)

[flawdgenius]

It is a great looking car...love that retro looking back end.

[robertwilson]

Personally, I like it. The cinematic quality of your videos is excellent

Looked at one of these a week ago at a dealer whilst having our Kona serviced and was very impressed.
We have had a 2007 Tucson and 2011 & 2017 Santa Fe's - all of which were used as tow cars for caravans which probably what most were purchased for using the great 2.2 diesel R engine and this is the trick they have missed with this new one by only using a 1.6 petrol as the base unit and woefully low towing capacity.

The out going Santa Fe with its 1.6 petrol and dct gearbox are not big sellers, you could get a 2.2 diesel but only in the lowest trim spec (still great spec compared to other OEMs) but coupled to the DCT. Our Kona is the GT AWD with DCT and there is a page in the handbook on how to drive DCT without it going into safety mode!

Now towing with a 2021 XC90 Diesel MH. Probably our first and last XC90 as they have dropped the diesel option.

Love it! I see a fair bit of inspiration coming from the Defender 110.

[clarkwgriswold]

Know that road well Pete. Good food in Y Talbot in Tregaron if you’re ever up there again. And the walk around Gwernffrwd Dinas is simply stunning in Spring.

I watched your video and liked the camping scenario.
I have very recently bought a 2024 Santa Fe here in Australia and I absolute love driving this vehicle. I was surprised to see the UK having a plug in model. In Australia our only option is the hybrid ( no plug in) and later this year I believe we will have the gasoline only variant as well.
One feature (2actually) the Australian Calligraphy model has is 2 sunroofs the front one is fully electric with fully retractable glass, with the rear sunroof being a fixed closed glass with electric retractable inner panel.
The only way to really understand how brilliant these cars (SUVs) are is to physically get in and drive it.
Ita also a little known fact the the windscreen and both passenger and drivers windows are a special acoustic glass. The quietness of interiors is amazing for a vehicle with a petrol engine. I can’t tell when the engine is on apart from the dashboard display showing what power train is being used. Even with petrol and EV powering the vehicle it’s amazing. It lets the 12 speaker Bose sound system really perform.
One last little bit of info. I don’t know if the Uk variant has this, but the Australian vehicle has a form of black box recorder installed. In the event of a major crash the police can retrieve a lot of info. So if you are the responsible driver in an accident this feature might just be your best friend with police and probably the insurance company. If you are the bad driver in a crash I’d be hoping the cops don’t find out about the cars black box.
Seriously, as you know because you drove the Santa Fe Caligraphy, it’s a fabulous vehicle with absolutely every bell and whistle currently possible.

I'm a real scenery fan. Where was that 'view' you ended up at, it was gorgeous. Definitely a possible road trip destination. Liked the car, not a fan of the colour. Shame I don't need something that size. The drone shots were pretty awesome Pete.👍

[jamiep]

I enjoyed watching the Video Review, In my opinion one of the best New Large SUVs 😊

[PixelVibe]

Great video, thank you. Overall a really interesting car - Hyundai are smashing it out of the park at the moment.

Interesting points about the rear-view mirror being a screen and needing to focus on it. Hadn't considered that before!

[watchcommander]

It’s an interesting package but still lacking in some areas. It probably also needs a diesel and possibly larger petrol version

[Taylor]

It looks like a budget defender
Quite good looking on the outside 👏👏
