I appreciate the lane departure warning system and the lane keep assist is also valuable but will take some getting used to. The other safety feature is a sensor that senses approaching traffic from the rear when the car is stopped and it will prevent the doors from opening to keep passengers from stepping out into traffic. With the Hyundai Bluelink installed on your phone if the car sensors detect anything moving in the back seat after you exit it will send an alert to your mobile phone.but it will also start the horn blowing and that will continue for up to 8 hours. First when you turn the engine off and open the driver's door the dash lights up with a reminder to check the rear seat for children. I don't have children or pets but there are two critical safety features for living things in the back seat. There are more electronic safety and convenience features than you can count. That is greatly appreciated here in the hot Georgia summer. The front seats are heated and ventilated. It is summer and he didn't need it but the back seat is also heated. The rear seats slide forward and back and also recline. My brother is 6 feet even and he said he had more than enough leg and head room. I haven't ridden in the backseat myself but both my wife and brother were amazed at how roomy and comfortable it is in the back. The seats have wonderful side bolstering so you stay firmly planted in the seat on the tight turns even when taken at fairly high speeds. Regardless of what driving mode you select and despite the road conditions or traffic you might experience you will appreciate the very quiet cabin that is equipped with a ton of sound absorbing insulation, thick window glass all around, and active noise canceling. The body side roll and confident road handling rally gives you a great respect for what Hyundai has accomplished with a vehicle of this weight. It is still a lot of fun to hit a winding road with Sport selected. I have selected the Sport mode a couple of times and there is a very noticeable improvement along with a slight decrease in fuel economy. I have stayed mostly in the Comfort drive mode and the power and nimble steering are both fantastic. Driving the car is a truly awesome experience. I have been driving a 2009 Ford Escape Limited with the 2.5 FWD and either of these two Hyundai engines coupled with the 8 speed transmissions beats it hands down in performance and quiet operation. The 2.4 was very good but the 2.0T was outstanding. I went to a dealership that had a great inventory of both engines so I could do a side-by-side driving comparison. I knew from the start that I wanted the Ultimate FWD package but wasn't sure of whether to go with the 2.4 or the 2.0T engine. I have only owned this car for about a week now but we have a 15 year old Hyundai XG 350L and based on the comfort, quality, and performance of that car and considering all of the modern overall improvements in quality and technology, in my opinion it would be very difficult to beat the 2019 Santa Fe. Since the Santa Fe offered a few things that the Ford didn't (very few) and since the cost and warranty were so much better I decided to take the plunge with it. A long list of available convenience features approach luxury levels, including head-up display, wireless device charging, heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, surround view monitor, rain-sensing wipers, LED illumination, rear-window sunshades, hands-free smart liftgate and more.I have been shopping and reading and watching the YouTube video demos on the Santa Fe and the Ford Edge for a couple of months now and deciding which was the best value for performance, cost, and value.

The Hyundai SmartSense suite of standard safety features is comprehensive, including: Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist Lane Keeping Assist Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist Safe Exit Assist High Beam Assist Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Driver Attention Warning. Hyundai’s warranty, which they call “America’s Best Warranty,” is built of a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty, and a seven-year/unlimited-mile anti-perforation warranty. Santa Fe’s strengths are many, and several key strengths can be attributed to the Hyundai brand in general.
