I fancied the Sorento, but when I saw the Santa Fe at the release event I realised this is the car for me. As soon as pre-orders open I'll be ordering one - AWD, HEV, light blue metallic.
To all the stupid people who are saying “that’s looks like a Range Rover”. I’m 100% sure that the Santa Fe will last longer and have less mechanical issues and recalls than a Range Rover.
You're perfectly right , it will last longer than any Land Rover/ Range Rover but ,it still looks like they copied the design 😅 from the Land Rover Defender 😅
@@dzmitrykuliashou1309 So does a G-Wagon and it’s all over mall parking lots. Which means, people still buys them. I see the new Santa Fe being a hit for the brand.
This car is a great entry for the European market, since we lack mainstream practical 3 row SUVs. The only choices are German and French, which end up being expensive for optional extras and less reliable. This will fit perfectly since minivans have died out and it is the largest car in its class which families will appreciate.
Lovely, a great looking vehicle. Seems to have jumped into the space where the Disco 4 used to be now JLR have abandoned their tonka toy design language. Looks good inside and out and it's only the crazily small engine I struggle to get my mind around - I'd probably feel a bit more comfortable with a 2.0 onboard. I like this a lot though.
i wish they also had a smaller size without the third row. As a single person i dont need all of that space, but I love the way this car looks. Definitlely giving Range Rover vibes without the price.
Did Hyundai say what the MPg vs MPe is for gas and Hybrid models.. They are saying March for USA Gas model , but Spring for Hybrid, yet most of the demos on TH-cam overseas are Hybrids??
The price-quality ratio is certainly better when compared to the previous 4th generation model!. Better premium quality. Hopefully also the pricing, the price is more competitive. 🤔
You're missing the point, once the EU starts with the 'we must protect all citizens' malarky, cars will be limited to 112kmh, and side roads will have speed limits that will be constantly monitored. So fines galore. Forget long highway journeys, they will just not be allowed. Now you see where this is going? And not just Hyundai, Volvo has already complied in advance.
Think that’s massive, get behind the wheel of a new GMC Yukon XL. Also I think Hyundai should have done something like the lift gate of the bmw i3 or the Audi q7, move the light bar up and add a second set of stationary lights under where the lift gate opens.
No idea why this is being compared to a 5008? I mean its totally different. This I would say sits in the Discovery and possibly Defender market better than the "small" SUV range
Why is that no Hyundai-logo on the steering wheel? otherwise nice and gorgeous car, but I don't like that there's no Hyundai-logo on the steering wheel. I think that It would be a self evident in every car like seat belts etc. Maybe old Toyotas as exception where that was the model name instead of a Toyota-logo.
Jeep 7 Seater, Mazda cx90, Toyota Highlander and many more options not just Skoda and Renault and definitely you cant compare to BMW and other luxury cars.
It's odd you didn't mentioned it is just a copy of the EV9 and the interior is also very much like the new KIA cars, since KIA and Hyundai share designs. except this is hybrid and not full eletric.
Hyundai are a car company in a hurry. But they do seem to completely restyle cars at frequent intervals meaning your current gen version now last gen version gets dated.
Wished they do these in 5 seats, I like the size of the car but don't need 7 seats, the extra space from not having 7 seats would be used for transporting my dogs and their bits'n'bobs which I have in my current 5 seat X-Trail.
@NalaStaar you obviously got no idea what you are on about. My X-Trail 5 seater has extra storage space which would be taken up by the seat mechanism in the 7 seat version. Wish people would engage their brain a bit before commenting.
@@jogolock1190 ah. Apologies, angry pants. Then get a 5 seater or an actual truck. There’s plenty on the market. lol there aren’t many midsize suvs that can seat more than 5. Full size suvs have priced out a lot of ppl. So this is a great option for many. You’re the outlier for this car segment. The average consumer doesn’t purchase a new vehicle to cater to their dogs and bits’n’bobs… it was a smart move for Hyundai.
Sadly no we don't get the Sentra. Definitely a looker. But as it's a saloon and boring UK and Europe are abandoning this segment that it makes no sense for Nissan to import it. Oh and in orange the Sentra looks amazing!

Why do you need to adjust fan speed? Cars have had auto climate options for some 30 years now and the car will do it for you if needed. It will adjust the air mass temperature and fan speed combined as needed. It will automaticaly activate moisture blower, it will adjust to tunnels to activate circulation. I just can not understand why there is so damn much time spent on some climate controls while I can't even remember when did I last time change my interior climate settings. Maybe a month ja six ago or such and it is freezing winter here. Set to 21c summer and winter and Auto does everything needed. Only think I might wanna do is put a defroster on for windshield, but when thats deactivated car is back to Auto again.
Auto climate never works as i want. First it always turn on AC and raise fuel consumption, usually start blowing way too strog for few min... than i have to turn AC off... then i have to adjust where i want to blow... then i need to adjust fan speed that i think is ok for me at that moment. Only in rare occasions, maybe in summer i use "auto" in my car.
Not going to be the tour bus for BTS. Sorry. Three of them are in mandatory military service, and the other 4 are just starting to enlist for their mandatory service.
What a nice car, apart from the rear. OMG I can't stand looking at it. I would be at the Hyundai dealer to order one, but the would not be able to live with that rear end. Sorry its the ugliest rear end since the SsangYong Rodius and Kyron.

@@imdone1967probably its a case to case basis but personally I own a Hyundai Tucson for about 12 years now and never had a problem.

You are such a kind person calling people stupid....... 🙄🤦
I think color really makes a difference for this. White exterior with the “black ink” package looks awesome. Some of the other colors look bleh
The overall design is slowly growing on me but the back just…it looks like Modok from Iron Man !
The interior is spot on 👌🏽
The color combinations and design of the interior is VERY beautiful. Im so in love with this redesign Santa Fe. It’s so fresh!
A square design is fresh?
🤣
@imdone1965 I mean, you say that as if they've used this same EXACT design before.
Landrover inspired. Very practical big SUV. Getting expensive though. Backside needs a cleanup:)
They were so close with this one but the backend is unforgivable 🤮
2009 Ford FLEX.
The design in the back will translate much better if they make the light box signature a solid fill instead of the H pattern.
I see nothing but G-Wagon in the back! I don’t mind the look at all. It serves a purpose for more cargo space.
And for me back design looks like renovated VW Transporter T3
hmm, i see more of defender like the overall looks, the steering wheel, interior all of it

It looks like a knock off Range Rover - for prob about half the price and running costs..but most of its features
And no breakdowns…
@@brianallan9035 well fewer for sure..and you can insure it inside the M25
I think it look like a Chinese knockoff of the old dicso
Probably 1/10th the running costs
If the Chinese brought this out we’d all be criticising it as a Land Rover knock off
The backside looks like the "Scooby-Doo" van.
Great review - shame there is only the 1.6l hybrid engine and no diesel for open roads / over taking / towing etc.

This will sell like hotcakes. I hate the back, but as a family oriented driving this could be the best.
Looks like Hyundai took a page out of the Ford Flex design book. Not a bad end result.
No trizone climate for thie price? No keyless opening using rear door handle?
Excellent presenter, love watching your videos!
They knocked off the interior of the Range Rover and Jaguar Xf. Which is not a bad thing
only worry i have are the indicator lights just too low for me.
even the tucson has very low turn lights

Back looks decent and minimalist. this New Santa Fe had good design, i love it❤
The guy who was designing this car was on cocaine while designing the front, too drunk while designing the back.
Finally something people can trade their Pontiac Aztecs in for.
I chose it instead of Range Rover and I'm still proud of my choice
good explaination and good car.
Love it! even the back :)

How can you comment on the price-quality ratio, if you don't yet know the price?
VW Sharan / Seat Alhambra is the ultimate 7-seater, offering 5 isofix seats, 184 ps, 4×4 and sliding doors.
Think I prefer the Kia EV9, if I needed a 6/7 seater
6:38 you have to use the physical key to unlock it. It's there for every model

The back looks like an 80‘s VW Transporter/Vanagon. I quite like it.
I have an old santa fe and aa soon as I heard plug in hybrid I switched off. EV are not the future mark my words. Petrol is the way to go for me.
Throw a 3L diesel engine with mild hybrid to be better in city and this will be a best seller.
Was the steering wheel taken from the Range Rover or was the entire carrier inspired by it?
Whichever executive approved that rear end design needs to be sent to North Korea for hard labour
Korean Discovery 👌😍 but it needs 3.5 biturbo with 375hp 🤔
Think that’s massive, get behind the wheel of a new GMC Yukon XL. Also I think Hyundai should have done something like the lift gate of the bmw i3 or the Audi q7, move the light bar up and add a second set of stationary lights under where the lift gate opens.
Well, it's better looking than old model but without diesel engine i'm not sure they sell much of these in EU.
It's amazing, until you look at the back.
100% buying one when the backlights get corrected.
It looks like built out of LEGO
Reminds me of the new Dacia Duster, which is a good thing. I like the design.
I said this is looking better then the new 2024 Lexus GX550. wow!
If the rear lamp is tinted like range rover, it will look even better
It would be inexpensive to have that done.
No diesel, kills it for me as a tow car. Shame as I prefer it to the new Kia and Skoda.
But online it says the car is coming to Europe tho
Ford should sue Hyundai for copying its Flex.
If they started that game, all manufacturers will be sued for something, like suing someone for having a round steering wheel.
If this is the “Ultimate”, the Kia EV9 will be the nec plus ultra
Will this car sale in Germany?
Yes. Phev coming later when they figure it out

Kia ev9 isn’t on the same platform as this car, it’s most likely gonna be a facelifted Kia sorento
Why Hyundai invite a Hyundai hater?
Looks more like a ford flex. Those rear lights are a bummer 😑
The back looks excellent. Gladly loses that same ol’ ‘busy’ design.
Surely they could have put a bit more thought into the design of the rear.🤦♂️ I love the rest of it, but the back....
