When I got the Santa Fe, I expected that my range would by much higher than my old 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4.0L. However, every time I fill up the tank, the total range shown on the dashboard is just under 400km.
During the xmas vacation, we took my father in law's 2012 Sorento AWD 3.5L (because the winter tires that came with the SF have some defect - another post..).
I noticed that upon filling up the Sorento, the range it shows is around 625km... almost double what the SF has, and it is accurate as it turns out.
Is this normal? Both have pretty much the same size engine, AWD, same size tank - how can the difference be so huge. My dashboard is in fact set for KM, not mi.
When I was looking to buy a replacement for my Jeep, I looked at the Sorento but decided to go with the Hyundai instead. Right now, after having driven the 2012 Sorento, I wish that was what I got (not just for this reason, but quite a few others)
Still - is it true that the SF has crappy mileage? Next time I fill up I will reset the trip meter and see if it coincides with the range - perhaps the gage/sensor is wrong.
