2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers are very pleased with the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, praising its strong performance, comfort, and value for the money. Many owners admired the powerful V6 engine, reliable handling, and spacious interior. However, some noted minor issues with the tailgate and key FOB functionality, and a few mentioned that the ride can be a bit bouncy at times."
Overall: 5 Stars Great value for the money! Performance: 5 Stars Excellent acceleration with the 275 HP V6. Brakes and steering seem to work real well. Ride is a little bit bouncy at times due to standard 18 inch tires. Build Quality: 4 1/2 stars No squeaks or rattles. But the tailgate doesn't always close on the first few attempts and the key FOB doesn't always open all the doors with two quick clicks. Appearance: 5 Stars Restyled front nose for 2010 makes the exterior look of this car a real winner. Front dash, leather interior and blue tooth are awesome! Cost of Ownership: 5 Stars Got 23 mpg on the first fill using economode. Excellent warranty! Fun Factor: 5 Stars Outstanding acceleration and handling for a SUV, blue tooth setup, and lots of room with back seat flat on floor.
July 30, 2010Best car Ive ever had. No problems through several years of driving, to move 100,000 miles
February 7, 2023Loads of pep, and the gas mileage is pretty decent with the V6 and the AWD. There is a nice option to lock the transfer case for true 4WD. The 18 inch wheels look good, until you have to buy tires, and the handling is pretty good for a smaller SUV. The Limited Edition has all the bells and whistles, including heated seats, power sunroof, reclining rear seats and power/heated mirrors to name just a few. A respectable towing capacity is also a bonus for anyone wanting to tow a small tent trailer or maybe a quad or snowmobile for that weekend getaway. Overall, not a bad vehicle. I'm still looking forward to getting it really off road to see how it handles some mud and snow.

October 8, 2012We love our new Santa Fe - fun to drive, comfortable, great value, stylish. Smooth acceleration and braking, tight handling, no rattles, keep going too fast-very smooth - and can't tell we are going that fast!
May 17, 2010Well having a 1st generation Santa fe for 10 years. I loved it so much. The 2nd generation was an upgrade. You just have to know what you want and all cars have issues. Do your problem research this vehicle only has 5 issues. The 07 to 12 Santa fe will last you a long time. Enjoy this vehicle it will do you right.
