Why oh why comparing Hyundai Santa Fe to Audi Q7 which cost about twice the price. Santa Fe in their own comparison group can hold its own and like for like equipment wise and price range, only Skoda Kodiaq might be close enough.

I don't get why Hyundai keeps putting the turn signals at the bottom of the rear bumper on it's SUVs, you hardly notice them and it's a problem.

It's a brilliant car, I know, I've had two of them.

Picking one of these up next week, 2021 reg with 268 miles on the clock

Personally the Santa Fe is head and shoulders above the agricultural Sorento. Yes, the 5008 has a fantastic interior but it's less than a foot longer than the 3008 but is over 2grand extra.
I think warranty is the only attraction Hyundai have over the Kodiac. For me it's the Kodiac but its close

Why didnt' the US get the 3rd row? I just purchased the 2020 Santa Fe and love it! But really wanted the 3rd row but you have to jump up to the Palisade now to get the extra seats. I wasnt prepared to spend the extra $$ just for the two extra seats. Since they do make the seats elsewhere can they be added to a US model?

I amazed it do mpg around 42 43 on long run at motorway speeds

[doncev]

which SUV has 3 individual seats on the 2nd row? (except 5008)

[chaitusunkara]

Worth taking more time to explain. Feels like the video was made in a hurry.

I really like the Santa Fes but local dealer only had an older automatic.. gutless and sounded like a bucket of bolts... used examples are overpriced by quite a few thousand in my opinion.

Does this car have blind spot camera in dash when indicator goes on

[Firemarioflower]

He's doing a good job but i'm really missing Rebecca

Nice car and all, but why bother buying something invented in a different continent ? There is a good reason why European cars cost a tad more . No wonder the Chinese are buying up everything here ; we practically are handing them the money to do so ... (Hyundai is Korean, I am aware)
