Great Santa Fe Held Back by Overly Aggressive Driver Assistance
Overall, I really like my 2024 Santa Fe. It is comfortable, well designed, has excellent technology and features, and offers a lot for the money. My biggest disappointment is the calibration and operation of several driver-assistance features. Some of these systems feel overly aggressive rather than helpful.
The automatic lane-change feature is too sensitive and inconsistent, making it more frustrating than useful. Adaptive cruise control also needs improvement when changing lanes. When moving into an open passing lane, the vehicle can unnecessarily slow down instead of maintaining the selected speed or smoothly accelerating toward it. This makes the system feel less natural than it should.
The driver-monitoring/face camera needs significant improvement. I have experienced repeated problems with this system, and it has required dealer attention. A safety system should operate reliably and consistently without creating unnecessary warnings or distractions.
Hyundai has built an excellent vehicle, but the driver-assistance software and driver-monitoring system need refinement. These features should assist the driver smoothly and predictably rather than constantly calling attention to themselves.
