FINALLY a review on the actual exact model we’re looking at buying (used) and not the fully loaded, top of the line, hybrid turbo, super duper nothing like the one we’re looking at model lol. Thank you. 🙏🏻 😉👍🏻

Stay with the naturally aspirated 2.5 engine folks that makes 190hp it's MORE than enough. I just don't trust the "dual clutch" automatic the hybrid and turbo models use. Their are already quite a few complaints on the engine being very jerky in stop and go traffic. Which makes me think long term reliability is going too be a problem with that engine. Don't get me wrong i'd prefer the turbo also but NOT a dual clutch. I currently have a 2015 Lincoln MKC with a 2.0L ecoboost and 6 speed auto and it's been VERY reliable. So again some car companies make good turbo's while others simply don't. Also Hyundai and Kia have been down this road before putting a dual clutch in the Sportage and it had tons of issues. So not sure why they went down that road again. Simply make a turbo with a normal 8 or 9 speed automatic would have been perfect.

Great car and build overall. I was looking at this car and decided to pass for two reason. The engine is not great, and even in sports mode I was left underwhelmed. Second, the middle console is really wide, not giving the driver much room to work with on terms of cabin space.

Overall, it’s a great car, just not what I needed.

Really been enjoying your reviews. Can you include pricing on all trims and interior dimensions on your next videos?

Does Hyundai still have the rear turn signals way down in the rear bumper?

The vehicle itself is fine, but placing the rear turn signals so low is dangerous because some other drivers behind you might not see that you are turning.

Glad our uk model doesn't have those horrible twisted spoke wheels and that single exhaust outlet that looks a bit odd to say the least

I GOT 38 MPG with my Santa fe the other weekend.

[AngelKhalil]

I have this but with AWD and the performance package

[mombam]

I was looking for the turn signal cameras on the side mirrors and when they show up on the front dashboard. And also the heads up display. I imagine that those are available only in the higher end models… Such as Calligraphy. Correct? Would be watching for a review on that higher end model when it comes out. And if there are truly any differences between that and a 2021.also the 360 degree camera.

Those low turn signals are a turn off. It’s a dangerous feature. Maybe I should just go with the RAV4 XLE Premium. Has leatherette seats. Smaller but It’s just me to ride. No passengers

This engine is not a powerhouse or really good on mpg's...but....it has both port and direct injection so the valves will stay clean and the engine efficient. Plus, the warranty is soo much better than the usual 3 yrs/36K on bumper to bumper....and this has 10 years/100K miles on the powertrain. That has to count for something, right?

[jfernandez]

2022 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL looks nice. However, for a 2022 model, a 12.3 inch digital cluster screen would have made this vehicle sweeter!

[ofcbob]

You mentioned the wireless Apple carplay, your girlfriend didn't like it, but you didn't say

[lindacottrell]

You also need to tell the prices of the SUV's that you show.
