Is Hyundai SantaFe a reliable car I can keep for decades to come?

They have issues from the factory with the injectors, gas fuel door getting stuck, and bad EGR valve sensors, all covered under warranty.

Decades? Lol, you never heard about ‘planned obsolescence’?

I live in Las Vegas, NV, and I see a lot of older Santa Fes on the road as well as tons of other Hyundais. I have a 2021 Santa Fe Ltd 2.5. I love it! It is what it is. I’ve been driving Toyota Avalons since 1996. I loved it, but I wanted something different and I love Hyundai technology. I have had my car for 3 years now, and so far, so good. My engine warranty is 5 years. Any problems, I will cross that bridge when I get to it.

Toyota is a 20-year car; Hyundai is more like 175k / 7 years.

No, man. Absolutely not. Don’t get it twisted.

Year? Mileage? I am a Hyundai connoisseur. There is a reason why Hyundai has ‘class-leading’ warranties. The reliability has gotten better with their new line, but they still don’t have the Honda, Toyota peace of mind quality. The Santa Fe posted is over their previous offering. I’d be skeptical.

What are your thoughts on the reliability of a 2024 Tucson N Line hybrid? Since you’re a connoisseur, I plan to get the 2025 one, so curious.

If you replace the engine, transmission, cooling system, HVAC system, and electrical system, then yes, it will last for decades!

Never keep a Hyundai/Kia past the 100k warranty unless budgeting for an engine replacement. Everyone should know by now that they are throwaway cars.
