Last weekend I picked up my Hybrid AWD Calligraphy in Arkansas and immediately drove it back home to Los Angeles. 12 hours on Saturday, 14.5 hours on Sunday for a total of 1800 miles. Exhausting, but the easiest drive I've ever made, and the car performed flawlessly.
I bought my 2024 santafe hybrid on 7/26, i have nearly 4k miles on mine.. Have been doing ohio to NY and back multiple times due to a sick family member.. This thing is wonderful to long trip.. It replaced a lexus which i couldn't do 6 hours in that without my legs falling asleep.. the SantaFe's seats are way more comfortable for tall drivers, that said the calligraphy's seats aren't as comfortable as the limited's.
I regularly drive long distances like Brisbane to Townsville or Charters Towers or Sydney (not so far) straight through. By the way .. I am 63 so I am surprised a young bloke like yourself does not find it easier. Its not difficult to do when you develop a rhythm to your driving. Biggest fatigue bringer is noise so I tend to keep stereos off or very low, and use noise cancelling ear phones just for that. No piped audio. Regular stops for coffee and plenty of water. Good food rather than snacks to help stay away from the sugar hit and subsequent crash after. I like the headlights on the Santa Fe. They help because I also like to do as much of my trips at night as I can. Anyway .. interesting to see how the car coped with the run. Not sure its my cup of tea though.
I drive frequently from Ohio to Ontario Canada. Each trip to there and back is about 1100km. I'm averaging 5L/100km! And that's in 2024 RAV4 Hybrid AWD!

I have the new Sorento (PE) GT-line 2.2 - Last week did trip from Canberra to Newcastle, stopping in Sydney Penrith, then back to Canberra …in one day on one tank of fuel - ave 6.1Lts/100 kms…..loved it
I’m so glad to see the spare tire, because that means there’s hardware out there to adapt the North American EV models to do that. Otherwise you just have a mobility kit.
My 2022 CX5 Turbo gets 7.1L/100km whenever I drive Sydney to Brisbane or Sydney to Canberra. But unfortunately in my regular commutes it’s around 10.2L/100km. Hence why I am looking at a Hybrid option now

once you have a car with weight of 2075 kg it will consume much more fuel. That's not a small car. For instance, I have Santa Fe 2015, 3.3L. Usually in ECO mode it is 8.6L, if you press accelerator slightly more - 10L out of town.
@Sajith050683 I am sure pretty close. What a hybrid is? It is efficient at shotr distance. In this cace we gave combination electric and gas ⛽️ and consumption is in the middle. Once our range is much more than 200 km or 400, there is no difference from the regular combustion engine, and you can neglect hybrid efficiency. Long trips become regular fuel consumption, Once you drain a battery, there will not be a miracle
This was an extremely useful video - thanks for posting. I'm about to pull the trigger on an order for a Calligraphy trim powder blue hybrid - I do a lot of long distance driving, including Italy to/from UK a few times a year, at a distance of around 1400km each way, which I try to do in 16-18 hours. It can be a bit insane to do, but having a comfortable car in which to do it, with a good sound system, should make all the difference. I hope I can live with the safety features' bings and bongs, but like you said, for NCAP 5 these are a requirement, so other manufacturers will also have similar. The question is, how many of these features can be turned off to avoid annoyance?
I think your lucky to get out of that suburb without daddy Jacobs guns, looked dodgy, lucky you wasn't mugged, the car looks amazing and headlights seem really good. Cause i dont think car makers seem to care about headlights enough.
I drive daily for work so I guess one man’s torture is another’s day at work. This Santa Fe looks like a great place to spend the time. I’ve done a couple of Iron Butts on motorcycles, 1600k in 18 hours, now that’s grueling.
It seems a bit too thirsty on highway for long trips where people easily do 1000 - 1200 ks in Australia on a single one way trip : EG Syd to Sunshine Coast QLD or Sydney to Melbourne. Surprised to see fuel burn is still on the high side for this 2024 hybrid tech . Because a 2.5 tone diesel suv with no hybrid 6 cylinder can achieve better fuel burn around 6.5 litres per 100Ks open road. Shouldn't this new Hyundai be around 4 to 5 .5 litres per 100 ks for a hybrid on the open road ? Why is fuel burn so high on this Hyundai Santa Fe ? We can see it was pushing nearer to 8 litres per 100Ks on your highway trip , so were you going over 110ks per hour for some or most of the high way driving , thus the little turbo petrol engine was working harder ?
@CarSauce How is the passing power on the Hwy? I will be upgrading my Hyundia i30 SR (1.6 turbo) soon. I travel from Brisbane to Hervey Bay (3.5 hours one way) regularly. On that trip there are a lot of trucks which the i30 blasts by easily, it can jump from 100km/h to 130km/h in an instant in the overtaking lane. The Santa Fe Hybrid has the same engine albeit an electric motor to assist but a LOT heavier vehicle, did you feel the car struggle to pass slow moving trucks easily?
Never seen it in the flesh yet but I gotta impression its one of the GREAT CARS of the last generation, like a missis goody two shoes annoyingly BRILLIANT at ALMOST EVERYTHING kinda car. Where ud kcik the hell out of it to find if there any minuses or flaws on the car
Matty…great review of the Hyundai SantaFe. Amazing car, looks like a level up from the previous model. Btw while you were about to enjoy the Pie, did you end up sharing it with the alone man starring the lake with you?
Ideally car sauce can do an un bias comparison between this car and the Tank 500 that would be great. Allot of similarities between both cars features and the fact both are hybrid.
I'm sure this is a fantastic car, practical, spacious, built well... but I saw one today in the flesh. And it's soooo fugly from the rear corner quarter. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this one is bad. In my opinion.
Hhmmm. Thought it would get better economy. We have a 2019 Volvo XC60 diesel (current shape but you can’t get the diesel anymore) and regularly drive Melbourne to Mildura and back and get 6 to 6.5l/100km driving approx 5kph over the limit with anything from 2-4 people in the car with their luggage. I assume the now previous Santa Fe diesel would be similar to the Volvo. Not sure the petrol/hybrid is a step in the right direction for highway driving.
Hybrids are slightly worse than diesel in highway fuel economy, but will destroy them in the city. Not to mention, they're quieter, smoother, and have better power and torque. Hybrids are a better choice than diesel unless you need to tow.
@@ishaansaral502 Slightly worse? You idiot I drive frequently from Ohio to Ontario Canada. Each trip to there and back is about 1100km. I'm averaging 5L/100km! And that's in 2024 RAV4 Hybrid AWD!
Wow what a car! wouldve liked it to be a bit more powerful but I guess the 2.5T will be interesting coming into 2025 wouldve loved to see a N edition one, a bit like Mercedes does with its SUVS and have AMG ones.
The worst thing about this car, hands down, is that key. It's cheap, light, plasticy, large, obnoxiously glossy. Ordered mine this week but in the rest driving the only knock I could give the car was the fking key
Got to wonder though, reclining seats that massage & super quiet might that not actually add to driver fatigue in relaxing the driver , rather keeping them awake?

What is that with the rear design 😂 from the front it's good stance but they have made a van in the rear😅.the design ,its like good film throughout but towards the end director wrapped up the schedule too quick with a very boring climax.
Here’s a way to spend your time: practice pronouncing Albury. It’s not ‘Al’bury. It’s pronounced ‘All’bury. And also why are you driving over dirt roads between Melbourne and Canberra? Is your navigation system broke? There you go; somethings to ponder.
Why do these manufacturers keep making seven seats ? How many families have 7 people in it buying these cars ? I like it but would rather get rid of the third row, save the weight and increase storage capacity.
@ricecrash5225 The Tucson exists for those who don't want a 3rd row. We don't need a CX-70 and CX-90 situation, which was the issue with the old Santa Fe. It was too similar to Tucson space wise.
And there's probably a car for you. We have 5 in our family but my wife takes several kids on Girl Scout trips often. And when the boy is older I might do similarly. You can always keep the 3rd row down. Lots of room.

Ad banners are one thing but this feels like an infomercial. I don't recall any real negatives being called out. Is the car that good? How does it stack up against the Sealion 6 that saves you about $20k?
@lan3v01 you’re talking about a completely different class of vehicle, they might both be SUVs but you cant fit 7 people in a Sealion 6. This also isn’t a review, but you can go watch that if you want a pros a cons list. And yes, this is an ad as we’ve made very clear.
It would be better to have clearer and more overt disclosure. Now it's hard to work out which reviews are independent vs paid for. I previously have watched many of your reviews but now second guessing financial influence

It would be better to have clearer and more overt disclosure. Now it's hard to work out which reviews are independent vs paid for. I previously have watched many of your reviews but now second guessing financial influence
@@lan3v01no one is forcing you to watch, it’s ok. The channel will carry on growing regardless of your perceived offence taken from it 😉
The guys from Car Confections you tube bought one - gearbox died after 20 mls , was replaced 2nd gearbox died after 3000mls Hyundai offered buy back or swap with hybrid the boys took the refund! Buyers beware!!!!!!

Wow, that CarConfections single car is representative of all of them.
1 out of 10000. Do you do stats?
What an ugly car!
Love the interior...I'll buck the trend and say the exterior looks like SHITE! Economy...honestly that doesnt seem any better than our diesel Sorento....
What is going on with the ass end of that car? Who designed that crap
