      Exterior Quite Good Looks, It look's huge because of maximum width in its segment. Looks Stylish and after being an S.U.V, it gives you the feel of a Luxurious car from outside.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Sitting in the driver's seat when you look through the windsheild, you feel that the car is in total contol of you. Interiors are good enough, but could have been more better if the dashboard was not that old style one. Loaded with features that no other S.U.V of it;s segment offer's, that's the best part of it. Good space in all the rows compared to other S.U.V's. It's Comfortable in front but a liitle stiff in the second and the third row.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Powerful Engine. It is just amazing. What amazing Pick up. On the top, no one can beat it. And also gives a good fuel economy after such good power. Easy shift gearbox also. It is just so swift.

      Ride Quality & Handling Fabulous Ride Quality, Grip's the road very well, Driving a S.U.V, it feel so easy.

      Final Words Just Fantastic. Offcourse the price is higher than other S.U.V of it's class but it's worth, you are getting such great power and features also. Indian people allways want more of their money.

      Areas of improvement Can improve with the interiors, like more attractive dashboard with touch screen dsplay pannel. Reverse camera is a must for such a big car. More comfortable seats at the back. Otherwise just terrific, no word's for its immense power and style.

      Power, Style, Spacious.A little Uncomfortable in the back seats.

      This car truly amazing having great amount of sheer comfort and reliability. Best performance you would get on long streches ,a decent city commuter too and having lots of power above 1500 rpm goes till top end. Its the car with crdi 2.2ltr 4cyl. Refined engine it is as refined as the petrol units. This engine produce 200 hp@1350 and 440 nm of torque at 1450@rpm.

      Santa Fe came to India as a totally new product and from a company like Hyundai which specialises in low end cars. This car has all you can get in that price range. It’s just amazing! The quality of interior, features, 5-star safety ratings and much more. Engine is just phenomenal!! The power and the pickup is just amazing. It pulls up to 100 kmph and more speeds very easily. Never made us feel like we made the wrong choice of preferring this SUV over the Toyota Fortuner, Chevy Captiva etc. Truely the most reliable and a all rounder SUV.

      I bought this vehicle when 4WD version was out of production in India. They just newly launched All new Santafe Model without4WD options. As a enthusiast car driver I wanted only manual driven so I went for it. After clogging 42000 kms , I found out that clutch was worn out, so Hundai dealer said without inspection of the car to replace the said part. In just 42000, couldn't believe it.usually this part is well preformed up to 100000/1200000 kms. Cost comes Heavy around 40000 INR. And of course it is not covered in warranty by any Insurance Company. I have 25 Years of driving experience but clutch failure didn't occurred in those years.Companies reason is bad driving habits. Just can't believe.

      I bought Santa FE automatic less than one year back, of which for more than last 2 months it has been at their service center. For a minor repair job my car is stuck there and the worst thing is that for last 50 days i have been calling up daily, writing mails to who so ever possible but these people refuse to respond or tell me the status. Initially they had fooled me by saying that it is a matter of 2-3 days only but subsequently they changed their stance. For last 45 days all that I hear is that they will get back back as and when they have a clarity which it seems they never seem to get. I have been completely harassed by Hyundai company and their service center people (Hyundai Motor Plaza) and the experience is horrendous. NEVER BUY ANY HYUNDAI PRODUCT, THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS LIKE SHIT. THEY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A BEGGAR.

      Hi,

      I own a santa fe 2011 feb model, a couple of weeks ago it broke down in the middle of the highway due to clutch failure. The vehicle has to be towed to the nearest showroom and they charged me Rs.50,000, saying the whole clutch assembly has to be changed. After some request they have put them partly in warranty and charged me thirty thousand. The vehicle has clogged 46000 kms and the latest service was done at 39000 kms. is this the quality of hyundai, I promised myself I will never buy a hyundai again.i want to know if this happens to every owner of a 25 lakhs hyundai car. 

      Now even the gearbox has a problem, I think the issue is common because they did not care much about this, they were only keen on charging me a lumpsome amount since I did not have a choice.

      I regret buying a hyundai instead of bmw x1...

      Exterior Exteriors are very captivating and dynamic though little classy but yet turns out to be a head turner always :-)

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Could be more luxurious. Talking about space is good for a family of 5 plus luggage.. Small potholes n bumps are nothing for this giant Very comfortable. Biggest tyres give some extra confidence on the road.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox ZEN- Zero Engine Noise after you climb 60km/h. Gear box is very smooth, just effortless to drive. I have driven my car in city for 1000 kms till now n i got an average of 9.5 kmpl. I guess its fair for a new car of this segment. Its anyways gonna increase by atleast 1-2 kms. Also, i m eager to go on a long highway drive which should be very shortly :-)

      Ride Quality & Handling NA

      Final Words If you are the one who likes to be different from others and leave a mark. This is a car for you and m sure you'll not repent.

      Areas of improvement Something on the interiors n a little bit on features like navigation & touch screen audio interface could have made this a little more price worthy.

      Good looks, refinement, comfort, powerFair interiors, No navigation system n touch audio system.

      Exterior Good looking, style.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) No comfort in middle seats and don't think abt back seats. Middle seats a/c vent's are waste.

      Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Gearbox is very very worst. I had a problem after 10,000 kms onwards. Now i want to change gearbox, cutch and entire thing just in 30,000 kms. It expected cost is min 1,00,000.

      Ride Quality & Handling Jumping in the normal roads, cannot sit comfortable in middle seats. Only good in highway.

      Final Words I'm not say don't buy. I'm saying don't think abt Santa Fe waste the time. Totally waste of Money. No proper service Er.s. Parts are very expensive. Tyres gone in 30,000 kms. Don't belive the review's which are in postive. All are wrong. This is not the car which is worth for INR 30 lakhs. Now enquire to resell the car and was surpriced, they were asking for 50% of the value. Just 30,000 kms and 8 months older.

      Areas of improvement Except style, balance all. Improve serice Er's quality level. Clutch & gearbox. Sacks condition, a/c vents at middle seats. Sun roof is must.

      Good style, nothing elseExcept style, balance everything

      The Exterior is amazing, bold, masculine just  the best among all SUVs. It's better than the Hyundai Tucson and catches your immediate attention. The head/tail lamps have been carefully designed to give a very appealing look to this beauty.

      Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) A very good 7 seater as it is extremely spacious(both front & rear), comfortable, roomy and the  seats are very cushy. The interior as good as the exterior.

      Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Performs really well with a firm road grip.

      Ride Quality & Handling It's easy to handle & gives you a very comfortable ride. A must try.

      Final Words You must try your hands on Santa Fe before trying the CRV or the Captiva.

      Areas of improvement Can improve the media console as it is extremely dull and boring to look at. It could be brighter, better & slightly edgy. A bit of a chrome may be used in the interiors and the boot handle could be changed to a better looking fluidic or a stylish one rather than a plane rectangular bar.

      Lots of space, very good seat covers,killer looks, firm grip,cool,cushy seatsDull media console
