2.0 and 2.4 Theta engines blow rod bearings because of metal fragments left over from manufacturing. The fires are from rods busting through the crankcase and leaking oil on hot exhaust. They've got better since 2019, but I still don't trust them. I've seen them knocking at 40K with good maintenance, and I've seen them running perfect at 160K with next to no maintenance. They're a real gamble. Sucks because the rest of the cars they come in are very reliable. Luckily there have been countless lawsuits, so Hyundai and Kia usually throw another engine in for free.
Most people have between 10k and 40k miles with some people who drive alot might have 60-80k and a ver very few might even touched 100k. Around 100k is when most of the problems happened with the old 2.4. I'll wait and see. Inwas just speaking to a friend who said his friends 2021 needed an engine replacement already with around 60k miles. Ouch... that is the 2.0 though. Granted it may have been a fluke but I haven't looked into it either so idk.
Sounds nice inbetween shifts
These gauges look like they’re right out of a 10 year old Nissan.
I really like them
Not a bad thing tho
I have a Santa Fe sport 2.4, and my gauges have red needles .
I find that it looks little classy but outdated at the same time
Well nissan sounds like a name from anime character so
This is quick for a base engine suv
They definitely look better. Don’t these catch on fire or something?

@@OhPhuckYou yep. The 2021 Santa Fe with the 2.5 is way more reliable.
All Kia Hyundai engines are ticking time bombs hahaha. Shame because the cars drive nice now a days
Imo Mazda CX5 is way better
The disconnect between the engine speed and tachometer is just laughable
Totally. This car didn’t get stolen from a Kia boy right?
Only reason i don't really like Hyundai.
Security is ass
@@mrtuvok5578 It’s for the ones with the key. The push button ones are fine
The 2021 Santa Fe has the 2.5, and is a smidge quicker, and way more reliable.
Is it though? Not many people have alot of miles on the smart stream engine.
@@occckid123 ofc people do. 2020 Sonata came out with them.
@@bradleyscarreviews and what's alot of miles? 100k miles isn't akot of miles
@@occckid123 it’s enough. The old engines used to go out at 100k

160 mph!?
Yes for if you go hill down I guess😂
shifted 4 times to get to 60
Or twice.. lol
twice
I guess you can’t count lmaoo
oh I'm sorry u miscounting sweat bags , I meant 3 times , learn to count.
@@wat6592 it’s been a whole year and you still can’t count lmfao, and who tf you getting mad at?
Transmission is slow
It’s not even slow
@@bradleyscarreviews The shifting is.
@@chasethecarguyit’s an 8 speed geared like a 6 which is odd considering you’d want shorter gearing to help acceleration.
@@charlesrodriguez7984 no its not lmao, look at the actual gear ratio chart. no 6 speed has a 4-5 and a 5-6 shift as close as these
@@bradleyscarreviewsthe car is pretty slow too imo but that transmission shifts like crap
lol. CX5 is much better than this shit
