Great review guys! So refreshing to see a review that focuses on the cool, unusual stuff instead of just the usual features and functions. I've had my Callig for 7 months and love it. It took me a solid 5-6 weeks to familiarize myself with all of the features and customization, because there's just so much stuff! But man was that fun, going out every night to discover some new hidden nugget. I did not know about the driver's seat extension, and that was worth watching this video for all by itself. I traded an X3 for the Calligraphy and have never looked back; it's my 6th SUV and the best one I've had. Also the only car I've ever had that I preferred the native NAV to using my phone / Google maps. Too bad it's so hard to find for sale, or I think many more people would have them. There are zero for sale within 50 miles of my house right now. Anyway, great video, very informative and interesting.

You can hit the talk button on the steering wheel and tell the car to open and close various windows for example open passenger window or rear windows, close all windows, raise temperature, turn on or off heated steering wheel, go to a specific radio station and probably more that I cannot think of now. It doesn’t work on sunroof. I showed this to my sales person and it blew him away.

Just bought this vehicle today in Blue and AWD. It's a techie's dream and I'm in love.

As a taller human, I very much appreciate the extending thigh cushions. It simply makes driving far more pleasant rather than some seat squirming experience! I'd considered the same market segment/equivalent yet when I drove the Santa Fe limited I throughly enjoyed the ride and power of the turbo 2.5 and 8 speed DC transmission. I prefer the limited over the calligraphy model only because if the tires and lack of spare. I've since then up graded to what I feel are the right tires I wanted/needed for my local climate.

Thank you. We just bought the 2023 model and our head is spinning from all the features. This really helps. Great job!

I want to thank you two very much for this additional information. I have made a factory purchase two weeks ago of the 2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy and the information you provided was part of what persuaded me to buy it over other competitors.. Can't wait to receive it in April!

Great review, one thing. The HUD display of speed changes from yellow to red when your speed exceeds 10% of the posted limit and it rounds up to the higher rate. For example, if the limit is 35, red will occur at 39. I love your reviews!!

SHEEESH! She is a beauty! Some of these little features are pretty awesome, I've never even seen the button that extends the length of the seat

I really like the bird’s eye view and the parking assist.

Great easy to understand video. I knew a few of these already as we've had vehicle since June but coming from an older 12 year old car, what an upgrade for us. Love the HUD. Wish the NAV system would allow for new locations to be inserted by operator while in motion cause sometimes you change your mind and a hassle to pull over, put it in park, adjust and then start again. Find I prefer the 3D view as the "road" lines are wider vs the grey lines of 2D images. Also like the zoom feature of the radio knob on right side, very convenient. You have finally informed me how to remote start my vehicle and do the move-ahead/back feature. Our dealership was not quite as informative about all features and how they worked when we took delivery - maybe they did not know how to make it work either. At my first service appointment, I asked a question about a feature and when they explained it to me, I was happy but when they mentioned it on my bill as "Ëxplained X feature to customer - NO CHARGE", I was not happy to see they may have charged me to answer a question!!

Thank you for a great in debut review it was very helpful. Best review I have seen👍

Thanks for the all the nuggets. I’ve had mine about 4 months. I checked online and the dealership had one and we got there, did a test drive and was sold. I’m still learning it, but love it. My previous suv was Nissan Murano which I still have for now. Looking forward to your next video.

Hi Art and Dana, Great review! This SUV is loaded with so many features many luxury cars do not have. I think it's a hidden gem - and maybe my next vehicle. 😉Thanks!

Thanks guys, so good to see a review with snow in the background. Picked up my Santa Fe this week and I love it. Here in Australia the Calligraphy is known as the Highlander. No it isn't a Toyota but Hyundai registered the Highlander here before Toyota got around to it. The Toyota Highlander is known as the Kluger (whatever that is, sounds like a villain in a James Bond movie) here and is a big seller. There are a few differences between the Santa Fes sold here and the ones you get in the USA. 1. The steering wheel is on the correct side! 2. Two engines are available. A petrol V6 which is a bit of a clunker and a 2.2 litre turbo diesel with the 8 speed DCT which is as smooth as silk. 3. The Highlander is 4WD and comes with a full size 20 inch alloy spare wheel. It can be a long way between big cities in Australia ! 4. All Santa Fes regardless of model are 7 seaters. 5. Our cars are much more expensive than yours ! 6. Not sure where your car was built but ours are made in Korea. Just on the matter of fuel consumption it is a 100km (60 mile) freeway trip from the dealership to my home. With the brand new engine and running at 80-100 kph I got an indicated 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres which equates to just over 40 miles per US gallon. So it's early days yet and I am still trying to fugure out all the "quirks and features". Good luck to you both, do not envy you that snow ! Roger Mt. Martha, Victoria, Australia

One other feature that is part of the user profiles is the on board nav map settings. The map settings are saved per user profile. Also, the interior ambient light color is also set by user profile too.

Great review... Couple of things I would like to add is that the you can change cockpit gage cluster to static one and other one is to have apple car play in full screen instead of split screens.. remote start the vehicle via blue link app to your desired air conditioning setting.. Front seat side glass is double laminate.. Also many reviewer don't talk about is fuel multiport injection which keeps the vales clean instead of GDI.

amazing video, thank you both!!

Just what I have been looking for. Thanks

Awesome video guys! Congratulations on the new ride!! I hope this isn’t replacing one of my favorites from your stable!

Amazing information! I’m from New York City and after watching your video I went to the Hiunday Dealer to order a Santa Fe! Because of you I’m getting the Car next week! Thank you very much for sharing this valuable information that makes many people take the right decisions! The way you’ve explained everything is Just marvelous! I needed that push to take the step so thank you! Wish you the best of luck and don’t stop posting such a nice info about the car… you are my reason for getting a Santa Fe!

awesome review thank you very much

I really like that the trunk hatch opens with the keyfob proximity. That interior is very premium too, great video!

Great Job! I've had a 21 Santa Fe SEL Convenience Hybrid for about 6 months. It's pretty similar to the 22 While it doesn't have the all around view, side view from the dash or as many features on the seats (or heated rear seats), it's pretty similar. You showed me a couple of features I did not know. I have a battery that blocks storing the rear shade, I had to check that out. I would add that you have remote start by app that allows you to set it for summer or winter settings in advance. Also, you can lock the door by holding the handle on exit. The hybrid gets 33 in the city in the summer (only about 26-27 during the winter, the ICE runs more) and a solid 30 on the highway

That's why I loved you guys right away. I'm visiting you first time today and wanted someone to explain me the features that are the most useful and practical for the day to day users. No BS like torque and HP. Those A8 reviews and the zonker guy. You guys are the best friends for an everyday user. So thank you for keeping the focus more on features than the technical stuff. Quick question, I noticed a gap while she was explaining number 4. Can you please explain why? Thanks!

Great TIPS, thank you!

Thanks for this video! On the climate control, what “button” are you hitting to change the different airflow directions? Do I have to go the convenience menu to do this?

Beautiful new SUV. Thanks for sharing these features. Super cool with what all these are packed with!

Excellent content from very likeable and relatable presenters. I purchased my 2023 Calligraphy this week, enjoying getting to know it! Narrowed it down to this or a new X5, both were in budget. The X5 drove better, maybe $15k better. Comparably equipped I couldn't justify $40k more. Happy with my purchase, it's a nice car though the badge won't impress people whose opinions don't matter to me anyway. Looking forward to watching more content from you both, thanks for taking the time to film these~🙏

The side mirrors will tilt down when in reverse if you have the side mirror switch in either left, or right, not neutral. Read the book about 4 times….you will find more and more things on this vehicle. We just bought a 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy..right now less then 1000miles on it and on our 1st trip with it. Great review…I learned about how to do my own profile, and knowing that it will save my radio presets all the other stuff great thank you!

Thank you so much for your great video. Just checking in at this later point in time to see if anything has cropped up that concerns you about the mechanical operation. I have been hearing some stories about the dual-clutch experiencing issues. Thank you.

I got the 2023 Santa Fe limited and the torque and HP is insane to drive with. Love it so far. Still learning all rhe features of course e

Got ours 20 minutes after it was still on the truck and the driver unloaded it. the dealership had no calligraphys on the lot. We singed the paperwork and 5 hrs later drove it home after they had finished detailing it. This was December 23 Marry Christmas present lol. We are still finding different things we didn’t know about. We are so happy with it the only thing I wanted it doesn’t have all wheal drive. Happy Campers

Great review! Love the footage at the beginning. You two did a great job with capturing the features of the vehicle. Y’all sold cars before huh🤔😂

Neat car, love all the new tech these things have.

The other feature that is worth mentioning, is the rear seat occupant alert, if you exit and lock the vehicle with a person or pet in the second row, it will then sound the horn when you walk away. Also It will not open a rear door to the traffic side if the sensor detects oncoming traffic. Many thanks for sharing, as you highlighted features I was not fully conversant with...

at 13 min, the forward and backward button feature, how well does that work if your steering wheel is slightly turned and the wheels not straight?

This is one of the best reviews I’ve ever seen. Excellent work. I think I’ll purchase one for my wife, she currently has a 2019 limited.

Wow things a beauty!

Fantastic vehicle! Does just about everthing a person could want.

Thank you for this high quality and informative review. Four months ago when shopping for a new Genesis in Las Vegas, we found a 2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy which as you know has a lot of the Genesis goodies at about 15k less. Believe it or not, the dealership now has zero new cars on the lot and the same is true several other local dealers. Some lower Santa Fe trims are in transit but no guarantees on dates or specific equipment!

Tailgate proximity key opening and height adjustment and reclining back seats has been a feature available on Hyundai Santa Fe for a while, I have it on my 2017 Santa Fe Sport(convenience package).

I absolutely love the child safety lock feature, I have a special needs child that loves to open the doors and I have use the safety lock but when my other kids sit in that seat not knowing that the safety lock is on it can get a little frustrating when it’s time to get out of the car. 😊

Very good review. Beautiful car/SUV/truck...vehicle. Great features for tech friendly brains. My most important feature is the "How To" button and the "How To Button" locator. See you next time.

Awesome info. Did you happen to install the front license tag bracket? The holes don’t line up with the holes on the bumper and supposedly you can block the cruise radar if installed incorrectly. Could you make a video or link it for me please? Thanks

This was a fantastic video. I get mine in about two weeks. Will have to save and rewatch. Thanks!

Awesome video, because I ordered a 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited it has the features as the vehicle minus the amount of HD. This was a very unique review video. I'm subscribing to show support!

Hi guys great review on 2022 calligraphy. I ordered a white with black interior from Canada just from your review , thanks. But I am wondering if I should change my interior color to beige. There was no cars on the lot so it is hard to tell from pictures. Let me know what you think. Thanks again Randy

Good Morning. Good video. Can you tell me where the buttons are, Inside for opening and closing the tailgate? Thanks. Santa Fé Vanguard + luxury pack 2022.

Thanks got mine in silver mist and loving it Ist

Good presentation... greetings from Belgium from Europe

I’m from Australia and already own the 2022 Santa Fe, fully loaded, what we call the Highlander. It’s a 7 seater opposed to the 5 seater you guys get. Third row comes with climate control and USBs. That’s why you can move the second row forward. We have 4 engine options. The Highlander comes with the 2.2 litre turbo diesel. Paired with the 8 speed wet dual clutch. It’s even better than the 2.5 petrol. It also has a full size spare. Other than that. Most features are the same.

Great content!

Such an awesome review. I would love to hear how this Harmon System sound.

Thank you for the great review. Just purchased my Calligraphy, and watched this prior to purchasing. My sales person knew less about the features than I did, and I suggested that they should watch this review. I have read thru all the comments and replies and found a lot of information. I do have a couple of questions questions. 1. When setting up the individual profiles for all the memory items, does it default to the last setting for a particular profile? Since my husband hasn’t set up his profile, when he changes the seat, is that now my profile? 2. Do the seat coolers/warmers come on automatically based on outside temperature? I have not found that setting if it is available. 3. You mentioned FB user groups, are there also groups available via the app? Thank you for your time, and all the great information.

Congrats! Looks like a really sweet ride. I would love the adjustable hatch height, as I am vertically challenged myself.

By far my favorite Hyundai color. Wish my Elantra N was offered in that color. We were holding out for the plug in variant, but I don’t think NC will ever get them. So we are going for this exact car. Nice video as always.

Thank you for making this fantastic informative review video of this Santa Fe I love the color I will be purchasing mine when my dealership gets more in stock due to the chip shortage also please do more of a review on the adaptive cruise control and slow bumper to bumper traffic does it have the crawl feature I guess that's what you call it thank you so much and have a wonderful day.

My wife & I are brand new Santa Fe owners of this year and model. This is a great video. Will a full size spare tire and wheel fit under the bottom where a spare is supposed to go, or does the AWD system prevent that?

Hey Guys, really nice video. how is the handling on curvy mountain roads and How does it do on snow? Can you do a video on it?

Hi I am wondering what the 3 they look like led lights on the ceiling of my 2023 Santa Fe Limited. They are between the back seat and the cargo area. If they are lights how do i turn them on?

10/10 great job guys!

Question about turn by turn navigation. This is my second Santa Fe the one drawback to the Navigation System is that it does not tell you which side of the road the destination is on. All it says when you're arriving at your destination is "Your destination is ahead". Not very helpful in an urban setting on a four lane street. I don't know whether the store is in the strip mall on the left or the strip mall on the right. Really a big problem when I end up in the wrong lane for turning in to my destination. Am I setting up the navigation incorrectly or is this just a draw back of the Hyundai System?

Great video. We have a 2023 Calligraphy. Question…is there anyway to reprogram the car to not require seatbelt to be fastened to move the car? There are many occasions where I simply want move the car out of the garage and do not want to fasten the seatbelt. If on any type of incline the automatic parking break gets set and buckling up is the only way to move the car. Obviously, I wear seatbelt anytime I’m going to actually drive anywhere.

You had me up until you mentioned the park assist. I’d never see my husband. He’d be outside walking both the dog and the car forwards and backwards, all day and night. I would be at the dealership having a new battery put into the remote every other week. He would swear the P on the remote stood for PLAY. Aside from that, I love it!!

I dont get the park assist. Does the camera need to see the parking lines? Is there anything to help you like parallel park?

I want to know does the lights that you can make different colors show in the back seat

Great job guys, im interesting now that the 23's are out what are the prices for the 22's calligraphies?

picked up my hampton gray one today! absolutely love it! It came in a few days early so it was a nice Xmas present. Only thing I dont't love is limited space in the center console. But the turbo more than makes up for it!

I think a spare will fit underneath the back end, because the AWD hybrids have a spare in Canada, but not the turbo model. This vehicle is very high on my list, at least it still have physical buttons for the HVAC and radio controls.

We're excited to share this episode on features that we feel would be important to many that are looking at the Calligraphy. What particular features do you love about it?

Nice review guys

We have one of these inbound from the factory but it’s running late on delivery. Supposed to be here in the next few days. We are really looking forward to owning and driving this. It’s our second huyundai with a 2013 Sonata 2.0T being lie first. Thanks very much for the very informative presentation on this vehicle.

Lovely video with great info. I am picking my calligraphy later this week. One thing I don’t like in my current Acura RDX is that I have to turn off the auto ignition every time. Wish there was a feature to disable it. While test driving the Santa Fe I asked the service guy and he said it doesn’t either but if I drive it in smart mode the car learns my driving and after a few time would automatically turn off the auto ignition itself. Waiting to try this. Have you realized anything that the car may have learned based on your driving?

Thank you for #6, i.e., a very detailed review of all power features for the Calligraphy driver's seat. No KZfaq reviewers (or nearly none) do such seat details, and it's a pet peeve of mine about reviewers. Next time pls do the same detailed dive into the front passenger seat, and that way you'll save a marriage. I'm still hearing about the lack of this or that for our 2019 front passenger seat that is on the driver's seat.

We LOVE THE HELL out of ours! Fire engine red and loaded and the 4 cylinder Turbo reeeally moves! And it's comfortable as all get out, quiet and the sound system is PRIMO!!

Very Nice! Is this replacing the subaru then?

I love how you can tell Alexa how to start the car and request climate control features as well

We also have massive the under rear deck storage for the jack, compartment cover and more as well as an outside under mounted spare tire in our 2017 AWD Santa Fe Sport (no flats repair kit here/needed. Also, what are you going to do if you have a cut in the side wall and not just a puncture in the tread area? Better have a good auto club, roadside assistance and towing service.

Noticed that in your video he talked about the carpet liner that came with? the vehicle @6:33 when our Santa Fe 2022 Caligraphy did not come with one.

My wife just purchased the Santa Fe Calligraphy, in the same exterior color (portofino gray) as the vehicle used in your review. Couldn't get the black interior as she wanted, but with excellent trade value and the dealerships "circle plan" rebate, we didn't want to pass this by, so bought the model with the camel on black interior. Any suggestions on keeping it looking "new" for years to come???

I cannot figure out how to illuminate the console buttons, like for heated steering wheel, brakehold, that set of buttons. I know there must be a way, but I can't find it.

Hi guys! Thank you for taking the time to post this. Really helpful. I have a Calligraphy on order and I was told that, in addition to the other items that can be tailored worth the profile setting (seats, temp…) the side mirrors would also adjust. That’s a big one for me. Can you confirm? Thanks again!!!

Does it show camera view when you're making turns

Just bought a 2023 last week. Great video, helps a lot. One thing I can not find anything on is the options on the folding side view mirrors. Handbook says where to go to chose the unlock/lock option or the walk by. When I go to the convenience screen described in handbook that option is not there. Any ideas, I am getting tired of the mirrors folding in and out every time I walk by the vehicle with the key in my pocket. Thanks

Great looking SUV

Great stuff! Also, if you haven't already, make sure you do the software update - much more user-friendly radio feature

Great review! I have had my Calligraphy on order since November. I am trying hard to be patient. The dealership has gotten some in, but I specifically want white with beige interior.

Great video!

OK thanks, I was wondering because as I am disabled, it is very useful to open and close the tailgate. inside the vehicle.

First, great video! I'm currently in research mode and this Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy is on my short list. Question: Does the HUD show navigation info if you are using Waze/Google Maps or does it only show nav info when using the stock navigation system?

does it come with stop-and-go cruise control? traffic jam assist?

How is the AWD? How does it drive on snow?

Thanks for the review! This will be our next car. A couple of questions... what color is your car, and do the driver/passenger headrests tilt forward? Also - your #10 should add that the foam dividers can be removed if you want to store really large items out of sight.

On apple play, how do you add and change apps?

You’re incorrect on the reason that the AWD doesn’t have a spare. It has nothing to do with lack of space it was a decision by Hyundai to save a few pounds for fuel economy numbers. The undercarriage is the same and the space is there. You can easily obtain the carrier hoist bracket, a donut spare and the jack kit for about $400. I did it to mine shortly after purchase. The repair kit is useless if you have a blowout or rim damage and roadside won’t be able to do anything except arrange to be towed. No thanks.

How do I set all 4 doors to unlock at the same time when I unlock the driver’s door using the fob or putting my hand inside the handle?

I have one in Europe. I have 2.2 diesel. We have the spare wheel under the trunk outside of the vehicle. There is a mechanism in the trunk to put the spare wheele down a take it from under the vehicle.

What phone mount do you use???

wait the rear seats recline did not now LOL thanks for the info good video

How do I set my home location on the Navigation and also put in a new destination to navigate too.
