Can the Hyundai Santa Fe Go Off-road?! // 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT Off-road Drive

- The new Hyundai Santa Fe is an impressive SUV that gives buyers a lot for their money, but one thing most people wouldn't be expecting is an off-road focused model that has some actual off-road ability. The new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT trim comes with a series of upgrades that make it more capable off-road as well as better able to tow. While most people don't associate Hyundai and their HTRAC all-wheel drive system with off-road prowess, the new Santa Fe nevertheless can tackle the types of obstacles most people are likely to encounter. (If you're being honest with yourself, most people don't off-road as much or as hard core as they think they do.) Is the new Hyundai Santa Fe going to keep the Toyota TRD Pro crowd up at night? Not likely, but it IS willing and able to do what most owners require. Check my buddy @ShiftingLanes and I putting the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe XRT to the test in the foothills of Tennessee! And check out my previous reviews of the Hyundai Santa Fe below, especially the one from last year to see how far Hyundai has come.

6:09 😡 HMG, common. no 360 Cam on XRT ? ?
This is not the Calligraphy version. The Calligraphy version has.
If this had the 5.0 V8 out of the old genesis, I would absolutely consider trading my LX470 for it.
I mean, that would be sweet
What "front aluminum plate" ? I just saw an XRT in California and there's NO plate done there. Also, nothing on the sticker stating so anywhere.
Interesting.... I wonder if it's an optional add on that our test vehicles were fitted with since we were actually going off-road....
Yup, no bottom plate option anywhere. Also, no roof rack upgrade or aftermarket roof rack that fits.
@@jax1079it is, mine didn’t come with one but you can buy one on their website
Congratulations on posting !! I'm impressed, but I'd like you to clarify something I didn't understand. Namely, which engine did the car use, the electric one or the thermal one ??? Under what circumstances and how are they used off-road ??
All of these test vehicles were with the ICE powertrains, the 2.5 liter turbo 4 cylinder
@@jax1079 I understand, in my country we only have the version Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid. This is where my concern arises.
6:25 tried the Toyota 360camera - panoramic surround view - on a CROWN / grand Highlander- it was awesome.. BEST system that PAINTS the road along the Undercarriage as you drive fwd so u can see exact tire placement over rocks / terrain. It also turns on automatic as you slow down below a certain speed.
I wish other companies would copy everything about it.
Suspension was cushy, loved the max hybrid power and platinum trim. Everything else was bleh.
The surround view camera is a big misstep. It's on the Calligraphy trim and crystal clear. Including it with some reprogrammed activation would not be hard and give the XRT even more credibility. Considering it's half decent in the dirt, that's an oversight for sure
how does this compare to a pilot elite for offroading?
I think the TrailSport Pilot would be more capable but I'd imagine this would be a little more capable than a regular Pilot Elite
How does the car drive on highways? Is the suspension too soft? Does it drive rough and noisy compared to the Limited/Calligraphy?
We didn't get to drive these on the highway loop, but I don't imagine the difference would be negative. If anything, the XRT tires have more sidewall than the Calligraphy trim.
i think most allwheel drive vehicles can do what the santa fe just did. the problem with these manufacturers, they put some cladding around the vehicle, add some all terrain tires and claim them to be an offroad vehicle. unless your vehicle has a truck frame under it, a transfer case, well put together suspension, maybe front and rear lockers just to name a few things, these so called off roaders are every day drivers that occasionally hit a gravel road. bottom line, to many wannabes without the proper equipment.
These types of vehicles are serving the vast majority of wannabe customers who don't actually need a body on frame truck.
I grew up in BFE Kansas and drove muddy roads to school every day and checked cattle in rock filled pastures, through creek and loads of other obstacles and had none of the things you described, a lot of the tools with all that extra crap are also wannabes that don’t know how to drive but want to pretend they would have survived being a frontiersman
I think my BRZ can do this
So cool
3:20 great mechanical choices . Also, Xrt does not have the dct
* (edit: xrt does have a dct apparently)
Yes it does
@@jax10796speed traditional AT for the XRT I thought. no ?
@@Vamanos46 No. All vehicles on hand to test were 2.5 turbo DCT
@@jax1079thank you
Hybrids get a automatic when they hit market all gas models have dct even website by me say it’s a automatic shiftronic but that isn’t true they using a dct in gas automatic on hybrids
"Jax, please send me the videos of 'we are the wild ones'. I had them on my PC and it got stolen 🥲🥲 and now I can't find them anywhere." 🙌🙌
It's still out there somewhere in TH-cam land. It's This is Why We Ride 5, I believe. Or maybe it's 4. I don't know anymore.
