Finally, a real world test by a normal driver! I would say it did pretty decent given these highway tires and weight of the car. Great job! Thanks a lot!
I think the point here folks is we know the tires are shit. And not meant for this sort of test or terrain if you will. However, what it DOES show is what the average person might face if they are in this vehicle with a set of OEM tires stock from the dealership. In that regard it's a competent enough AWD system that will get you unstuck without worry. However, if you put a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires on this vehicle. It would be quite unstoppable.
This mud test does't give me any idea of what this car can or can not with these tires on. You don't put on a dancing shoes when you must have your hiking shoes on.
I own a 2013 Santa Fe so there may be some advantages or possibly some disadvantages this newer vehicle has. I will say the Hyundai can do decent in light off road and light off road with more challenging conditions "mud or deep snow". The tires will make the biggest difference however the driver needs to know how to use the drive modes and have some knowledge how to go off roading.
That is really dissapointing about H-TRAC although the tyres are very important. It's not even a proper off road but a road on which you can find yourself on a rainy day going in nature.

Mainly proves it'll send power correctly, tires aren't right for this...pretty impressive honestly, wet mud sucks
Car is Beautyful😍
You could definitely tell when diff lock was engaged (for much of this it wasn't). With more suitable tyres I would expect much better performance.
The tyres are the bottleneck here. On snow i was able to climb on slopes without any problem.
thanks for this video.
The Santa Fe is able to escape in the snow than in the mud
What engine is it?
2.2 liter diesel
@@relaxingpianomusicbydjsebi8710 doesnt matter what kind of engine, the driver is the real heart of the car
@@jurisander6042 true but the engine still does make a difference the best driver in the world would not be able to beat a Bugatti with an suv
slip and slide, I do not get this test. what are you trying to proof?
Put all terrain tires on it.
;)

@@aaronbricault2467 htrac smashes that shitty awd system in the 2013 model that model year was trash
Ah wrong tires for mud test
Are all Santa Fe’s 4x4?
Some are. Some are not. If not they are FWD.
Tires are no good
Waste of time with crap tires

Tires have no grip at all, on that mud
