Lots of features for the money, compared to others in the same class
Some quality issues that tarnish my first impressions on a $44,100 vehicle. Paint blemish the size of 2"x3" below the rear driver side door handle, small chip in a prominent area of the dashboard always in view, interior panel not snapped into place next to the rear window, and a large orange rubber band mangled on the steering column inside the fuse compartment. But that aside, this top tier Santa Fe does come packed with features other vehicles in the same class just didn't have, such as the 2021 Kia Sorento SX Prestige , 2021 Acura RDX A-Spec or 2021 Toyota Highlander Limited. For the money, it was the way to go, but I really could have done without these very noticeable quality issues that are kind of blaring on a vehicle of this price range and being the top trim level. Not to mention NO SPARE TIRE on the top trim level, again, a $44,100 vehicle. It speaks a little of what's going on in the factory in Alabama.
