2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited vs Calligraphy | Side by Side Trim Comparison!

Рет қаралды 45,022

Күн бұрын

In this video I do a side by side trim comparison of the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited and 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy. The Limited is finished in Stormy Sea and the Calligraphy is finished in Portoifino Gray. These are two luxury oriented trims of the Santa Fe in the midsize SUV segment. The Santa Fe is just a tad larger than the Tucson. Both are equipped with the 2.5T and 8 speed DCT however the Limited is also available with the Hybrid powertrain where the Calligraphy is not. Let me know which one you prefer in the comments below!

I bought the Calligraphy and love it. The extra $2000 was well worth the cost for the HUD, plush interior, etc.

Question?? Looking at Calligraphy 2022 low miles. Loved the drive. I am wondering if there is a ride sound difference with the limited. Also wondering if the Calligraphy 20 tires feel different than the 19 inch on the Ltd.??

The Calligraphy trim looks way more premium, upscale, & luxurious inside & out compared to the Limited trim. It packs a better visual punch

@deanwiliams8374 10 ай бұрын

Our limited has the two tone interior. We found several with that option. We like the nineteen inch wheels with more sidewall flex for a more comfortable ride and a longer lasting tire. Other options on the calligraphy were not of enough value for us.

@@deanwiliams8374I'm not a car person but in the market for Santa fe.. I thought 20" wheel was better ride but I don't know anything about it.. is 20"wheel on calligraphy just for aesthetics?

@6milesup 8 ай бұрын

@@Katie-vy5rd There is only so much space in a wheel well for a tire. The 20" rim has a tire with a shorter sidewall, thus making the tire slightly more "stiff." The 19" wheel has a slightly taller sidewall thus allowing more "flex" and thus a little better ride. The tires are P235-55-19 and P255-45-20. The first set of numbers is the width of the tire in millimeters. The second number is the ratio of the sidewall height to the tire width. The larger the number, the taller the sidewall. The last two digits are the size of the rim, in this case they are 19" and 20" respectively.

I bought the 2022 premium with convenience package when it came out. The calligraphy was 50k vs 38k and I just couldn’t justify the extra for a turbo, wheels, and upgraded leather. I’d love to hear your take on if I’d be worth a trade in for a calligraphy with higher miles for the experience

@CarsMadeSimple 10 ай бұрын

Looking at the 2022 packaging, I believe there is a reasonable difference between the SEL Premium and the Calligraphy. Whether it is worth trading? That is another question. I have seen some lower mile, CPO 2021/22 Calligraphy's for just over $40k.

@sansin6250 Жыл бұрын

A salesman at the dealership told me that the Calligraphy has more sound insulation, and better insulated driver and front passenger side window glasses, and therefore offers quieter ride. This was after I told him that a quiet ride was one of my main considerations. I have not had a chance to drive them back to back so could not compare the quietness. Is there any truth to the claim that the calligraphy has a quieter ride overall? I would think that if anything, the wider tires and bigger wheels on the Calligraphy would contribute to more road noise.

@CarsMadeSimple Жыл бұрын

I have not heard about more insulation on the Calligraphy in specific but the acoustic laminated front side glass comes on the SEL Premium, Limited, and Calligraphy. Tires can make a big difference in overall sound inside of the cabin so even though the tires have less sidewall (which generally doesn't help) the tread compound could be less noisy. I would recommend driving them back to back if possible but both are going to be very quiet on the inside.

@sansin6250 Жыл бұрын

@@CarsMadeSimple So you feel they are about the same in quietness? I have not found any local dealer who has both Limited and Calligraphy available for test drive, so cannot compare.

@chuckhpnwx 11 ай бұрын

Know this is late, but both the Limited and Calligraphy have the acoustic laminated side glass in the front doors, as does the SEL with the premium package. I am not aware of any differences in any other insulation. As far as the wheels and tires go, the Calligraphy will have a slightly more firm ride, but not significant. Not sure abiutnoise there.

@cdchannel 10 ай бұрын

Probably referring to the suede headliner which helps with the sound insulation.

I vote for the Calligraphy!. Over the course of many years of buying and leasing cars, I generally went with the top of the line for any of them. Equipment, appliance , and car makers, put all their technologies into the top of the line product, and then strip down from there. I will give this vehicle a serious look when my 22 MDX lease comes due August 2024. Maybe Hyundai provides a Hybrid Calligraphy in 2024?. IMHO, gas/electric Hybrid is the way to go.

Why not mention that the Caligrophy has the voice control for the windows and so on?

@CarsMadeSimple 16 күн бұрын

SEL and higher has dynamic voice recognition. It varies by model which have access to control the windows or other aspects of the vehicle. The Calligraphy adds auto/up down rear windows which (if possible) can be controlled by voice like the front.
