Expert 2022 Hyundai SANTA FE review

Our expert's take

By Cars.com Editors

Full article

What Is the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe?

The Santa Fe is a five-seat mid-size SUV that competes with the Ford Edge, Honda Passport and Toyota Venza. It’s powered by a standard 191-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. A 281-hp, turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder teamed with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic is available. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions are also offered.

The Hyundai Santa Fe offers 25.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind its backseat, according to Cars.com’s cargo measurements. You can see how it scored in our Car Seat Check here.

What’s New on the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe?

A new XRT trim level is designed to look more rugged, with black exterior accents, dark 18-inch wheels and a dark grille, among other cues. Santa Fes produced from September 2021 onward get standard blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, safe exit assist, and side mirrors with integrated turn signals.

What Features in the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

LED automatic headlights
Cloth upholstery
60/40-split folding and reclining backseat
8-inch touchscreen multimedia system
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability
Automatic emergency braking
Lane-keeping assist

Available features include:

Power-folding side mirrors

Leather-trimmed seats
Heated and ventilated front seats

Should I Buy the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe?

The Santa Fe has a roomy interior that’s nicely appointed, and the optional turbocharged 2.5-liter engine is a strong performer. This SUV also has a long list of standard active safety features, and the availability of hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions broaden the range of fuel-efficient drivetrains. We did, however, notice some low-speed jerkiness with the dual-clutch transmission.

I've owned about 20 new vehicles and sold cars for 22

I've owned about 20 new vehicles and sold cars for 22 years, did a ton on research and ended up with the Caligraphy, it gives you so many features I wanted for a reasonable price. The engine is great and has plenty of power, great stereo, great highway cruiser as well. I have 32k miles, Hyundai has covered all my maintenance,

and no warranty claims so far. Great Value! I have normally owned Toyota and Honda but wanted some features they either didn't have or I would have had to go to Lexus or Acura and pay way more for what I wanted.

Love my Santa Fe

This is my First time ever buying a Hyundai I sold a Acura RDX and purchased the Hyundai Santa Fe. I have no complaints. My Acura had everything in it and so do my Santa Fe. The difference is my Santa Fe is very comfortable and I really love it. As of now I have no complaints.
