Did you recently rush to buy a new vehicle before tariff-related price hikes? A reporter is looking to speak with shoppers who felt pressure to act quickly due to expected cost increases; please reach out to PR@Edmunds.com for more details by 4/24.
I believe they are shared. Starting for the 2012 models the Santa Fe is being built on the same line at Kia's new state of the art plant in Georgia (or one of those states down south).

SUV jumps to 6th gear at 45mph (rides OK) and so it covers from 45+ mph on same gear. There is a clear need to solve this mpg problem. Perhaps, need 7th gear.
6) Suspension is very bouncy and SUV rocks/rolls on slow turns on mild bumps
7) Front and rear water wiper jets hardly spray/cover the windshield (ya, there is enough water)
8) Front passenger seat does not fold forward or fully backwards
9) rear seats cannot be pushed forward / backwards
10) Average MPH indicator was developed by a kid and was never tested. It shows 25mph for me after resetting it and driving 500miles on straight highway
11) MPG indicator is "average MPG" indicator. No real-time mpg indication available
12) RPM indicator fluctuates a bit sometimes for no apparent reason
13) Price of this SUV is less but close to Honda and Toyota. Makes more sense to go with Honda/Toyota.
Are the interior measurements for things like floor mats the same in the 2012 Santa Fe as they are in the 2011? I ask because most suppliers don't have 2012 stuff....
It's about time if it is. I bought a 2011 Sorento over the Santa Fe because I felt it was much sharper looking. I figured that Hyundai was going to redesign the Santa Fe at least by the 2012 model year. It will be a hot seller I believe.

Hi, Can anyone help me with info on flat towing a 2011 Santa Fe 2WD Automatic. Owners Manual says NO, and Remco does not build a lube pump for this model.
Comments
Rear air vents throw cold air after complete engine warm up and 20 minutes of city/highway driving
2)
Residue leaks down the doors from the outside mirrors and windows
3)
Acceleration is spiky. One has to be very, very gentle with the gas pedal while accelerating.
4)
Paint gets very easily damaged from minor incidents
5)
28mpg @ 55mph
19mpg @ 75mph (single drive, no load, straight highway driving, mild warm temps, right tire pressure, blah blah)
