Hyundai Santa Fe 2021 Hybrid FWD - Better Looking Pallisade (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 2021
- Hyundai introduced the fourth generation of the Santa Fe SUV in 2018, and by mid 2020 it already announced a facelift. From the front you can tell something’s different. The grille is more prominent, and clearly separated from the rest of the fascia. The headlamps are even sharper. At first glance you’d be excused for thinking this is a new generation, especially when you look inside.
Hyundai claims the refreshed Santa Fe is on a new platform, which improves performance, handling, efficiency, as well as safety. There are also new hybrid powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid. In simple terms: we now get the same 2.2 liter diesel, and 1.6 petrol hybrids, like in the new KIA Sorento. You can have your Santa Fe FWD or AWD.
↔ 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe dimensions:
✔ length: 4785 mm
✔ width: 1900 mm
✔ height: 1680 mm
✔ wheelbase: 2765 mm
✔ boot/trunk: 831 L
💲 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe starting price: 41 800 euro
💲 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe price as tested: 56 381 euro

BY far the best review of actual use and statistics of vehicles.
Another great video dude? Please keep doing them in English aswel, we really enjoy them!!!!
Your reviews are the best!!! This one could be a bit longer. I am sure, there are many things about this car to talk about. ;-)
Thanks! 👍
It's a facelift, so most of what I said in the 2019 review (link in the video description) still applies.
Keep the English Reviews coming...🙏🙏👍
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
I've always liked the Santa Fe, ever since it was first introduced. A good solid car that has been overlooked in its segment by buyers. Yes, too many buttons on centre console. Always want a car that looks like a 4wd to actually have 4wd, otherwise it seems pointless. Cheers Marek, good as ever.
@@altern8tive Just purchased ‘22 SEL Premium hybrid. I’m 6’2” and have more than enough room in front and back. Way more than the ‘20 Rav4.
When you are looking for new videos from subscriptions because dinner is ready and there is only a english version of video so you are decided to practice english ;)
I would :)
2in1
Boom. Great car. Nice review. Subscribed.
Much appreciated!
Looking forward to the new Tucson review! Pozdrawiam :)
Coming soon!
@@MarekDrives Please make a test of Hybrid version with 230hp. It is on my short-list and your opinion is important :)
I am also considering RAV4 hybrid so you can give your thoughts on this! Any advice for trim level, AWD or FWD...
@@Дарко9 don’t be desperate and don’t ever buy new launched cars (wait minimum 2 years) they more likely have a little faults which will give sleepless nights. After sale care in car industry is disaster
Excellent. I need one.
I think they did a brilliant job with the Santa Fe, far better than what Toyota did with the RAV4.
Thank you for the review! Can’t wait when it will arrive to Russia, def need a test drive)
P.S. love ur sarcastic phrases
it's the car I always forget is still being sold here in Europe because it is so rare in the Netherlands
great video as always though
Until now it was mainly diesel, so probably not the most popular SUV in NL. Maybe the PHEV version introduced after the FL will change this?
@@MarekDrives yeah since it was only diesel it is likely that nobody wanted it because diesel is expensive due to the emissions. I think the PHEV will sell decently though, since PHEVs do seem to be rather popular here
The new Santa Fe is epic, I think it's great value for money. It looks more interesting, and certainly more reliable than the DS 7 crossback, PSA or VW group SUVs. The Toyota Rav4 is also not bad, but it comes with a 2.5l hybrid petrol... it makes more sense if it were a 1.6 hybrid, 2.5 is too big.
Have an issue with the Santa Fe? The Hyundai warranty will cover you!
Hopefully a #phev version soon so we can share it !
Its an intelligent car but I hope the 6k for the 3rd row of seats it's tax deductible:) don't stand why other makers still did not copy the dead angle camera in the instrument cluster : it's easy to implement and pretty smart. Hope you'll have a look at the diesel AWD version soon. Still a bit pricey but true is these cars are hassle free for long ownership at reasonable maintenance and running costs, if not warming emotions. Suggestions: the 80 to 120 would be interesting from steady cruising at 80s. Full tank range is also an appreciated figure I believe. Thanks Marek, v balanced and well informative review.
I've spoken to the press fleet manager, and he said they're not planning to get a diesel for the press fleet. Too expensive. My guess is HQ told them to push as many hybrids as possible to curb the emission.
Very Cool and features that Hyundai did not bad...

Good hint at the end about the driver's seat!
Nice video. And nice car - but with all the bells and whistles too expensive. Marek, you won't like to hear it, but I'd reccomend the Skoda Kodiaq instead. The "L&K" top-trim is similarly or even better equipped, drives better and costs a few thousand bucks less.
The Kodiaq is a bit smaller, but I see how it could be appealing.
Great car - I test drove one in Australia - but a bit expensive $$$
Here, in Romania, the hybrid is around 1200 euro more expensive but youmay get around 1900 euro incentive from the state.
For the hybrid or PHEV?
For hybrid. PHEV is 5500 euro more expensive and state incentive is 4500.
Great video. I love my cars to look like an Airbus from the cockpit, Im not a big fan of sub menus. Its hard to remember where the put which function. So now the question diesel or hybrid?
That depends on your use case scenario. Is it going to be more of a motorway cruiser or a school bus?
@@MarekDrives more school bus.
Hybrid it is.
Consider the EQB 250 7 seater: it’s only 10k more and as it’s fully electric you get a government grant in most countries up to 5K. So for 5K more you get a fully electric Merc that @Marek Drives has tested. Even if it’s a bit shorter, but think of how much you’ll save! Especially if you have 2 or more kids .
@@alecbutcher4508 No grants in Slovakia. I went for the Sorento HEV. Hyundai said delivery 03.2023. The Sorento will be here in 6 to 8 weeks.
All good, but i dont like SantaFe back.. If they improve the back design, it would be much appreciated.
Not a fan of the placement of the console buttons. Easy to spill your drink on it and pay through the nose to get it fixed. Also, you have to take your eyes off the road and look down to see what button you are pushing.
Drinks - valid point.
I've never looked at the Hyundai web site ever. I guess that says something about their vehicles. Booooorrriiing. Having said that, the new Genesis G70 and GV70 look really interesting. And the Ioniq 5 full EV is looking like a really sharp car. I think it's looking like the most exciting EV coming in 2021. In fact, I've already short listed the Ioniq 5 AWD and the VW ID4 AWD for our new car.
As for the Santa Fe. The front of that design is a mess. Don't like the weird separation of the running lights and the head lights at all. But thanks for the review!
It's one of those cars that grows on you. Especially once you see it in the flesh. It looks a lot better.
I really like the new Sorento. I can't find a reason why I should buy the new Santa Fe over the new Sorento
TBH there is no reason for the Santa Fe, because the Sorento is a brand new car, and this is just a facelift. I guess they needed to update it for emissions.
Ground clearance is disappointing. It is SUV, which should have a little bit more clearance for those country roads. From the back for me it reminds older BWM X5. €6k for a third row of seats is too much. In Lithuania on website there is no prices for facelifted version. Only facelifted Tucson is advertised. Pre-facelifted Santa Fe prices (looks like it is on sale):
2.4 petrol 4WD 5-seats 6AT, Premium Edition trim level - €39990;
2.4 petrol 4WD 7-seats 6AT, Premium Edition trim level - €40990;
2.0 diesel 4WD 5-seats 8AT, Comfort Edition trim level - €39990.
Highlander or Santa Fe? Which would be your choice?
Highlander is probably the wiser choice.
I drove the sante fe hybrid and i had more than enough room as a driver and i am 2m. The hybrid and phev are cheaper in holland. An extra 3rd row is 1000 euro extra. The phev is 1000 euro more expensive than the hybrid. The phev als gets a discount of 50% on roadtax.
I noticed the taller the person, the more tolerance they have to limited space :)
I'm medium-short, so I get to be picky.
I envy your PHEV tax breaks. In Poland PHEVs are the worst to own, because they are far more expensive than regular hybrids, but don't get any of the measly benefits that EVs get, like driving in bus lanes and free parking.
@@MarekDrives In Holland they charge the taxes on new cars on basis of CO2 emission so that is why diesel are expensive. What i liked about the Sante Fe is how the electric engine and gas engine work together, there is always enough torque to accelerate what makes the ride smooth compared to the opel insignia that i drive.
In Belgium hybrids and EV's are expensive as **** and it makes me very upset... Government is yelling at people for CO2 emissions and stuff, but they are not stimulating us whatsoever...
hi...is it a lagoon blue colour ?...
There is no other blue in their color palette, so yes, lagoon it is.
"More" expensive, you say?
*laughs in Singaporean where the pre-facelift diesel AWD was going for more than €100k last year*
I assume your salaries partly make up for this?
@@MarekDrives It's more of an attempt to limit the car population by making cars unaffordable to all but the middle classes and up. About 11% of us own cars, compared to e.g. 50% in Europe.
Most folks who buy cars here do so on loans of 60-70% or more over typically 7 years, paying around €800 a month for something like a Toyota C-HR.
And we're complaining about cars getting expensive because of WLTP.
Sir. Could I know what colour this colour?
Lagoon Blue.
@@MarekDrivesENG ok thank you
we dont have the Santafe and sorento in Greece, not anymore anyway. Ever since the crisis started the auto market shrunk!
Ναι, αλλά το Tucson θα έρθει κανονικά, αν δεν κάνω λάθος...
@@w7class δε ξέρω φίλος, έχουμε λίγα μοντέλα πλέον
So Hyundai is returning to their extra Asian design, that's interesting. BTW, what's that constant beeping throughout the review?
Lane assist probably. Overactive.
@@MarekDrives Makes sense, thank you.
This looks better than my 2019 RAV4 XLE LOL...
Mate are you hairdresser?.... Rav in UK is called hairdresser car, for me Toyotas interior it's just poor...
@@mikeuk8486 Hahah I’m not a hairdresser but your right I don’t disagree with you at all on that..

In the States, we do not (yet?) get the hybrid and of course will never get the diesel. But €50,000???!!! That’s insane. In the States, this car is somewhere in the $25,000-35,000 range. Funny that you complain about the limited seat travel. Alex on Autos has the exact opposite comment is always impressed with the Hyundai/Kia extreme range of seat travel. Maybe the Koreans use different seat track mechanisms in Europe??? 🤷🏾♂️
I've just watched his first impressions video of the Santa Fe. As it is often the case with these launch events, we don't really have time to get to know the car. I'd never notice it, if I didn't have to slide the seat back to record cutaway shots comfortably.
This is a fully loaded model. The closest US counterpart to the one tested by Marek is Calligraphy trim which is north of $40,000 in the States. On top of that it's a hybrid which generally means you're gonna pay more than for a regular petrol engine.
Meh....
This... is exceptionally ugly... car, or SUV, or whatever.
A nightmarish Polish accent! This guy from Poland is only trying to speak English because he hopes for English-speaking advertisers to pay more than these poor Polish companies. This man has no idea about motoring. He talks because he talks.
Bro STFU, Marek has been doing an incredible job for the past few years providing us with reviews in English. Do you think it's easy to speak in a foreign language? Do a review of a car in a foreign language, I'll be more than happy to watch it and bust your balls.
Tomaso- you are a biiiiig idiot!... what a moron...
I disagree. As an English Teacher in Spain, and more than 16 years teaching, I can say his English is excellent and has a C2 proficiency level of English according to the Cambridge / European scale. He uses humour very well (especially his sarcasm) and lots of idioms and little phrasal verbs than only Brits would know.
Well done as always Marek very informative as always and it’s nice to get a real world opinion too. With all the cars that interest me I always watch your videos as well as others linked to certain car-searching pages.
