Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! Would you rather have this Santa Fe or a Mazda CX-9?

This looks so much better with the black grille vs the chrome one.

I actually cross shopped Mercedes, because I was replacing a Mercedes, and I bought a Santa Fe Limited. I love it!

Good review. I traded my X3, which I never quite loved, for a Santa Fe Calligraphy and have zero regrets. It's a pleasure to drive and especially excels on long trips. The 2.5 turbo with the DCT is just the right amount of oomph. I can't think of a thing I need or want from an SUV that the Calligraphy doesn't deliver on.

Looking like the Caligraphy package is my next purchase! I currently have the most unreal 3 seated SUV, Subaru B9 Tribeca Limited. I wish I had a platform to run people through a review of this beast! Turbo'd H6 engine is a sleeper on the road... This review convinced me this SUV is the closest new car to my current ride! You guys are great

Thank you thank you thank you for starting your review with the engine and drive experience instead of the front grill followed by a circle check that most other reviewers start with. Subscribed!

For the sake of some of us who are "up in years" (I'm 71), this IS a very good looking car! The interior and exterior looks very good. I've watched MANY car reviews this year (2021) and many have been about this Hyundai "Santa Fe" series...especially the Limited and Calligraphy models that have much more pep with the turbo model. I have seen a few dealing with the hybrid power. Little surprise that it's (the hybrid) a 1.6 liter. I think with the weight of the car on average, the engine section less electric motor area, should have been a 2.0 liter. The safety features with the cameras and info screen...I bet Samsung developed them due to the two companies are world headquartered in South Korea. That's why its graphics are somewhat better verses the competition car companies. Now...just a "constructive complaint" about the comments. Matt...watch the word "like". It's one of my big "pet-peeves" when being around people in conversations. In my younger days...I used a lot of "you knows". My mom got so tired of hearing me say that in all my conversations that one day, she stopped me and said: "Tom! Stop saying 'you know'!" "We do not KNOW with the "you knows." Needless to say, that she was a former high school English teacher for a few years before she went into social work, and, she was right. I watched my "p's and q's" from then on. Now...back to the engine aspect of this "Santa Fe"...I like the tone of it. Reminds me in sound, some of the old Indy race cars of the late 1960's through the 1970's and a bit of the 80's that were powered by a four cylinder turbocharged Offenhauser engine...(the engine that powered a lot of Indy winners in some form or another for decades. A quite reliable motor). I have a 2004 Subaru "Forester" with about 132K on it. Got it in September, 2003. It's been a good car...and a model brand I've seriously considered with a few other 2020/'21 & '22 cars this year... BUT! It's got that somewhat hated CVT transmission as you guys know. The "dual wet-clutch" model in some of the Hyundai models seems somewhat better. That's a good selling point. My '04 "Forester" is a four speed electronic AT. Been very good with it, let alone treated the whole car with driving respect. No "racing" it ever! I'll just have to test drive some one of the "Santa Fe" cars in Turbo Limited or higher to see, just how good this thing is. Thanks for your review, guys!

This channel is under rated

I traded my 2014 Infiniti Q50 for a Santa Fe Calligraphy and I have no regrets whatsoever. Hyundai is definitely underrated. I did however go for the 20" rims because these rims are somewhat hideous in my opinion.

Needs exhaust on each side.. wiper under the rear spoiler ..

Lovely car thinking of getting one for UK next march when my lease expires but I don't like that one exhaust outlet unlike our uk model personally

Why is every Santa Fe calligraphy review I’ve seen with those crappy 19 inch rims? The 20s are much better looking.

great car

Disagree about the phone charger. It gets it out of the way nicely and in spirited driving, perhaps hard braking and or roughly roads it won't move around. Love their charger setup!

NAMPLE LEATHA!!!! hilarious 😂!!! That suthen talk.

Can you do a cadillac ct5-v Blackwing or a ct4v Blackwing

Can someone tell me how much MPG are you getting combined? And how much miles do you get on a full tank? Oh and one more thing, is regular gas ok or should it be higher? Thanks!

I like the sunglasses on the guy in the white t-shirt. What brand are those?

Great car …. but. I’m reaching out to fellow 2021-22 Santa Fe Calligraphy owners. (2.5 T w/HTRAC) I’m vexed; the Radiator fan will randomly run at full speed for 1-2 mins. after I turn the engine off. The Dealer can’t find any sensor defects in the diag. We live in a mild climate; the engine is not being taxed when this happens. This can’t be normal. Is anyone out there experiencing this issue too? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated - Rick

Hyundai has a reputation for building junk? You might be thinking of Chevy. No one offers a better warranty than Hyundai / KIA.

The 20” wheels look better than these wheels. Even the pre-refresh silver & black 19” wheels look better than these 19” wheels
