2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid doesn’t allow you to keep auto regen braking on as a setting when you turn the car off, so every day I have to turn auto regen back on when I get in the car. Also it doesn’t allow you to turn it on when the car is in park, I have to do it while I’m in drive. a bunch of Hyundai Hybrids are…

All of these can die:

I can get behind the interest in the Honda and Kia but not the rest. I guess I’m more interested in standard non-luxury brands newest offerings. I would include the expected 2025 releases like the 2026 Honda passport, 2026 Hyundai Palisade, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and Kia EV4

People overly concerned with manliness and masculinity are just insecure boys cosplaying. No one can deny that the van door is a superior functional design. I’m currently in the process of purchasing my next car, and while it isn’t a minivan, my close second runner up was the new 2025 Kia Carnival Hybrid. major…

Excessive branding: I hate when a vehicle is covered both inside and out with make and model logos/names.

The Santa Fe is a great answer, but I would steer clear of the XRT. The XRT is only available in the ICE powertrains and all the ICE ones have the wet dual clutch transmission that isn’t the most reliable. Go with the hybrid calligraphy in AWD and you can get those under 50k with some negotiation, otherwise you can…

I’ll be that one weird guy.

Too many manufactures made and sold PHEVs without enough of the benefits of an EV for them to catch on. more often than not, there were just treated as a hybrid that you can plug in when they should have been made more like range extended EVs.

Why bother with the smaller Genesis G70 when you can go with a 2020 Genesis G90 Ultimate AWD with the naturally aspirated V8 and get those sweet basket weave rims. harder to find since they didn’t make many but they don’t have the badge recognition so they can be found around 40k, many with low miles.

Price - too expensive and no real interest in the ones with a tax credit. some interest in the F150 but still too pricey for the features I want.

Counterpoint: ALL VEHICLES...high end, low end, SUVs, Pickups, sedans, coupes, convertibles, crossovers, minivans, vans, ICE, HEVs, PHEVs, and EVs...NEED to have both a black interior option and a medium to dark brown option. too many vehicles don’t offer both at all trims and I hate it. some offer them on their higher…

Pros:

she is a grown adult who does what she wants. her other car is a Audi A4 Quattro convertible. If I told my mother she couldn’t drive anymore she would tell me to F-off lol.  

‘Murica

My mom is almost pushing 80 and is looking at getting a grand highlander for her next vehicle.  she likes the 3rd row because it could fit all the grand kids

Said Arizona, meant New Mexico

In your “What Do You Want To Know?” article I asked a total of 22 questions and you answered...none of them. I expected you wouldn’t answer any of them but it still sucks. why even bother asking for input if you are going to ignore your readers? do you talk to representatives from Hyundai at these events? I honestly…

don’t forget that the slideshow reused images and captions that they already posted from the new mexico release.  really squeezing every dime out of their content here.  

I’ve been saying this for months. the body color around the air vent looks super weird. way worse looking than the low tail lights in my opinion
