There are times where I need to pull out the key fob and lock the doors. Lastly, the door locking feature where I can push a button on the outside handle to lock the car, does not always work. I think this has more to do with the age and capabilities of our phones. We found that the wireless Android auto does not always connect. The dealer has not been able to isolate it to date. First, we detected an occasional thumping noise coming from the rear of the car. Update Jan17, 2022: We are still very pleased with our Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. We think it will be perfect for travelling. We are looking forward to our first road trip in this SUV. One side is rubber and the other is carpet. And as a relatively minor, but nice feature the cargo area comes with a reversible mat.

There is a small additional storage space under the cargo area floor for things like emergency equipment. The SUV has excellent legroom and the rear seats slide forward if additional cargo space is needed.

The passenger side and the center console has ample storage and plugs for various electronic devices.

The SUV has wireless phone charging and even though my phone does not support this, it is nice to have a place specifically designed for your phone. The car is very comfortable with more features than we can figure out how to deal with. While the gas mileage is rated at 36 city, we have been getting 38 to 39 mpg in the city. We selected the BLUE trim … because we wanted cloth seats and had no interest in the sun roof or the navigation system.įor the 3 months since we bought it, the SUV has been fantastic. We were thrilled to read about, and eventually purchased the Hyundai 2021 Santa Fe Hybrid. Other cars we have looked at were either too small, did not have adequate cargo space or required optional items to provide all safety features. We have been looking for several years for a Hybrid SUV that contains a full slate of safety features at a reasonable price.
