It's very convenient

published

Everything is good. I bought a seven seater, I'm surprised to see that you can actually fit 7adults, but do not expect to have boot space..lol.... you can probably fit a backpack after all seats are full. And if you fold all seats, you can put a three seater couch too, so it's that big inside too. It's a v6, drinks a bit too much in urban but for long drive it's efficient, comfortable, reliable, worthy. Overall it's good value.

Great Car

published

Love this car. Handles well. Very quiet considering I have the diesel. Economical to run especially as I do long trips to Melbourne regularly. Plenty of legroom for rear seated passengers and for small kids in third row. I wish to GPS announced road names and not just “turn left at the next roundabout”.

Excellent Car

published

This car looks and performs so well. The interior and exterior looks premium. If you take the badge of it would be mistaken for a German Car!

However, the since the car is diesel, accelerating from 0 km/h, it kind of struggles. But on the freeway, overtaking with this car, it is a beast.

Very sturdy and secure car

published

I had purchased santa fe in 2008 and still is functioning outstandingly. Very powerful and sturdy car which had lasted me 10 years till now and I probably can use it for at least another 5 years. Overall I am very happy with Hyundai products as they are cheaper than some competitive brands but much better quality.

AMAZING CAR

published

Bought the Hyundai santa Fe Highlander in 2016. Great car which ticks most of the big named cars boxes but the design in this car is great and looks nicer tghan the BMW and the internal space is grea, the drives smoothly and when you need power it has it and Hyunfai have come a long way. Love the full open roof. I got the cream interior which looks great and love the cooling and heating seat options. The only negative comment I have to make is the sound due to being diesl from the outside and also the car does not have park assist to leave a tight spot

This car is amazing!

published

This car is fantastic. Keyless engine, set seat positions for different drivers, seat warmers, leather seats, it’s all amazing!
The interior is black and the dashboard lights up with a blue light which looks amazing.
Ours is a diesel and can take us from the Central Coast NSW to QLD Sunshine Coast on one tank of petrol.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

What a great vehicle

published

We have owned the santé fe Diesel for 3months and driven 6000ks and we are astounded at how well it drives on dirt/gravel and sealed roads.Recently went on a week away with loads of luggage and pushbikes over steep and undulating roads in wet and dry conditions and We think its the best drive ever,a very responsive engine with positive steering and plenty of space,we also tow an aluminium boat occasionally which weighs 700kilos .Fuel usage around 7.5 lts per 100k without boat and around 10 lts with,the only slight negative is the road noise on some coarse sealed surfaces.

Door actuator

published

Door actuator should be separated to the door lock assembly so that it's cheaper to replace you only to replace either one. The model that we have is the Hyundai Santa Fe Trail pack 2002 just recently we have a problem on the passenger door that cannot open both inside and out. It's automatic lock and I believe that is the wear and tear it. it cost a lot just to replace it, I believe Hyundai should fix this problem.

Will never buy another small car again!!!

published

I actually bought my 2017 Santa fe Elite to drive back and fourth from Melbourne to Bendigo. It drives absolutely amazing and having diesel, it's fuel efficiency is top notch.
I like everything about the interior and couldn't complain about any of it. Having seat warmers when it's cold and memory adjustable seats theres no turning back. Reliability is extremely exceptional and to run it on a full tank at $70 -$75 it will take you 360klm from Melbourne to Bendigo and then back. Love everything about the car!!!!

My first 4wd and would never go back to a small car!

published

I've owned my Santa Fe for two years now and I love this car! It's a people mover with 7 seats and have made so many memories with the whole family! So spacious and love the comfort on the driver side. When I get in my husbands hatch back now I feel so odd and uncomfortable compared to mine. Highly recommend!

Good car ecomony of 9.9L/100 instead of 7.8L/100

published

I have highlander model. Excellent car but little bit expensive as compared to competitor.It should provide capability to automatically stop vehicle in emergency instead of just reducing speed like Mazda new CX 5.The average 7.8L/100km is impossible to achieve.Its not easy to get into 3rd row and less space in 3rd row and not comfortable in 3rd row.

Good reviews. A few issues.

published

We we're looking at a 7 seater 4wd on diesel. Having read reviews on the net, we decided on this based on price, warranty and capped servicing. Although happy with the support and the car itself, it's been into the dealer on a number of occasions. Issues included replacing a starter unit, replacing two suspension components & being recalled for a minor manufacturing fault. Although all this didn't cost us a cent as it was covered under warranty, it was the inconvenience. Would probably steer away from Hyundai's in future.

Love this car!

published

This is a great car for the family. We can put three car seats across the back seat (although it would be nice to be able to put them in the back row, but no anchors). We use both traditional and isofix anchors.
Leg room is fine for a tall family.
We ran out of boot space on holidays, so invested in a pod on roof racks. But for day to day i can throw the pram and multiple scooters in the boot easily.
Mechanically never missed a beat and i was suprised how cheap it is to run on diesel.
