Video Rating: 4 / 5
Consumer Reports takes a first drive of the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Styling is much more flowing and modern than before. But blind spots have gotten worse. A...
Nope. It's all because of the new sporty styling that people are demanding. A rounded back end with thick pillars may look sporty, but visibility stinks.
I have to agree that the new Mazda CX-5 is a great car. Was in my choices before bying my Santa Fe. But the Mazda is smaller and simply don't have a decent engine! 160HP 2.0L compare to 2.0L Turbo 264HP
Blind spots?? I bought this car 2 months ago and there's no blind spots that your mirrors can't cover! Seriously, you'll have to brake your neck before looking the (blind spot) showned in the video!! And don't forget that you have the camera to go backward!
My last cars were Honda, Acura and Mazda, so I was a little bit afraid to buy an Hyundai... Let me tell you that till now, i'm surprisely impress! I don't regret my choice!
Nice car but it's over priced.I'm not paying $28-32k for a FWD 4 cylinder Hyundai Mini SUV. Maybe if it were an all wheel drive V6 with over 300 horsepower with all the bells and whistles as far as technology is concerned and good gas mileage.Then it would be a deal.
This isn't the '90s, or even the early 2000's Hyundai anymore. Hyundai has been well known to include the most standard features for the lowest price point. In comparing the V6 Rav4, the Murano, and Santa Fe Sport 2.0T, the Santa Fe comes out as the winner. Rav4 has slightly more cargo area, but the Santa Fe has more 2nd row passenger room. The Murano's cargo falls short of both, especially in cargo area. Gas mileage? Santa Fe is the clear winner. Warranty? Santa Fe wins again.
Steve and Rachel have one of these...they love it

ОтветитьУдалитьIf the long-term reliability is anything like my Kia Sorento, you can keep it.

ОтветитьУдалитьthe safety requirements are up, they have to hold up x2 the car's own weight
ОтветитьУдалитьBRILLIANT looking SUV. Best looking SUV? Surely beats the new CR-V, Rav-4 and... ew, Murano.
ОтветитьУдалитьI testdrove this new Santa Fe. I did not see much problem with the blind spots as he pointed out.
ОтветитьУдалитьLINDÍSSIMO. Era bom que tivesse abertura independente do ÓCULO TRASEIRO.
ОтветитьУдалитьParabéns à HYUNDAI.

ОтветитьУдалитьit looks so freaking arrogant!!!!! i like more humble looking cars like the volkswagens
ОтветитьУдалитьYou can't afford jack anyways. Go look at the used market fool.
ОтветитьУдалитьTucson is the mini suv, this one is mid sized CUV competing with the likes of Highlander and Pilot.
ОтветитьУдалитьNot as good looking as Mazda. Too many sharp lines.
