Do you think Santa Fes can go over 100k miles

I’m mostly talking about the 2023 model, but is it true that even with the best care and maintenance, Hyundais rarely go past 100k miles

Definitely. I have two 2013s with over 100k miles and the 2023s seem more reliable

But don’t newer cars have more tech and features that might break down easier

That’s true, but that applies to all brands. I was talking about the powertrain

That’s not true at all. Any car can reach past 100k if taken care of properly. Hyundais just tend to need more frequent maintenance, especially in some model years

I agree, if Hyundai can, then any brand can

My friend has a Hyundai Accent she got brand new about 15 years ago and it has over 230,000 miles

That’s pretty rare!

I had over 200K on my 2011 Tucson and my 2010 Santa Fe

Looks like the person who posted this has fallen for some clickbait. I know because I saw this earlier. With nothing better to do, I thought I’d see how silly it was.

If you’re going to check out those clickbait titles, at least read what they say. They mention the years that had issues and then briefly state that the newer models (2021 and up) don’t seem to have the same problems.

Check your oil and top it off every 1000 miles. If you don’t know how, there’s a video on Hyundai’s website and they also include it in their regular emails. Change your oil every 3500-5000 miles

It should. Do you have the base engine or the turbo version? The base engine is likely to last longer due to less strain than the turbo model

It’s the 2.5 liter four-cylinder

@Tracy
Both the base engine and turbo are 2.5 liter four-cylinder. Is it an SE, SEL, Limited or Calligraphy?

Then that’s the base engine. Should easily reach at least 120k, probably 150k. Just make sure to change the oil every 5k miles, not the 7.5k Hyundai suggests

@malawi
Thanks. I already messed up and changed my first at 8k, but I’ve been doing it at 4k since

As long as you’re not pushing the engine too hard, I think 8k is fine since that’s what the engineers put in the manual

@TucsonTalker3
They want you to have issues sooner or later. Always change it at 5k. For the first change, it’s suggested to do it around 3k

That doesn’t make sense to say the engineers want you to have engine problems. Every car maker is trying for longevity, and they’ve increased engine life year after year

I have a 2019 Santa Fe with 100,600 miles. I bought it new with 11 miles on it. Keeping up with maintenance is key. Who knows if it can go further, maybe to 180-200,000
