Great video. People should be aware that matte paint requires entirely different care than gloss. You CANNOT take it through an automatic car wash (it will scratch) and you NEVER wax matte paint. If you are not someone who enjoys (or can afford ) regular auto cleaning then matte finishes will not likely be a practical choice for you. You may want to research ceramic coating to see if you want to go that route as an added layer of protection, scratches on matte paint cannot be repaired or buffed out. This is the exact model, color and trim package I've ordered, I'm expecting delivery next month and I'm going into it with my eyes open about the cleaning regimen.
And I would inspect it up, down, left, and right when it arrives to make sure there’s not a single flaw! 🤣 You chose a beautiful color. Enjoy your new SUV!
@@YTYTYTY7 I'm thinking that in the winter a touchless car wash may be the best option for a quick clean. Have you taken your car through regularly and do you notice any difference in the matte finish? Do you have a ceramic coating, I've read that the harsh chemicals in touchless can weaken coating. Sorry for all the questions, I just want to benefit from other peoples' experience
I went to my local Hyundai dealer last week and asked about one of these. And they said that their dealership is offering 3 years worth of car washes that are included with a new purchase of one of these.
@@grnoodleman that’s brilliant. What a great way to get people in and hey why not combine it with a service appointment. Keeps the customer coming to their dealership
And yes, I would buy the Hyundai Santa Fe calligraphy. Even though it's too expensive. I don't care about the price. It's about the luxury that's in the car if I had kids that would have been the perfect car for me
This is definitely one of the best 3 row SUVs in a while. A very strong offering that provides a premium practical and upscale interior, and a boxy exterior
i cannot deny it, I really really REALLY wanrt one of these in this color, but I'm, not buying ANYTHING until I see the new Palisade/Telluride whenver hey debut.
Bought one in this trim and it was just delivered on saturday. Honestly I am in love. Nothing anywhere close to the price offers what this offers. Also such a smooth ride.
According to the specs on Hyundai’s website, Highway Drive Assist 2 is only available on the Calligraphy. I was disappointed by that because I want a second row bench AND HDA 2…sadly not on option.
The matte colors are pretty, but if you Google about the paint, you shouldn't go through a car wash. Should only be handwashed. A consideration if you want to wash the salt off your car after a snow and don't want to be in the freezing cold outside handwashing.
I’ve owned 5 full size Range Rovers and just bought a 2024 Santa Fe Calligraphy about 2.5 months ago. It has every option for more than half the price of a Range Rover and approximately $12k less than a Kia Telluride which is, by the way, much more restrictive interior colors. Test drove both and went with Santa Fe and very happy I did.
Another very thorough review, fellas. Well done. A couple of constructive criticisms, though. 1. Instead of just measuring the rear opening, measure the narrowest cargo space, typically the wheel wells. This helps us understand what realistically could be carried as cargo - sure something 4ft wide goes in the back, but does it pass the wheel wells? 2. For the taller audience (5'10"+), like most of my family and friends, try measuring rear legroom when the front seat is all the way back. I suspect that 9 inches of knee space drops considerably.
The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is a fantastic choice! It's a stylish and reliable SUV that offers a comfortable ride, spacious interior, and advanced technology features. With its sleek design and impressive performance, it's sure to turn heads on the road. Whether you're going on a road trip or just running errands, the Santa Fe has got you covered. Plus, Hyundai is known for its commitment to safety, so you can feel confident behind the wheel. Enjoy exploring in your new Hyundai Santa Fe! 🚗😊
26:45 after 9am EDT 3/19/24 (embargo) can you also comment / opine regarding ride quality, harshness etc; not only with other trim levels but also with the genesis gv70, gv60 and ioniq 5 ? ..... Mainly bcoz a lot of customers outside of Hyundai/ HMG like myself got rid of my Volvos and more premium brands, and came interested in HMG due to the CUSHY ride of the Genesis and supposedly excellent ride COMFORT of the ioniq5.
I’ve ordered a Hybrid Calligraphy. It saddens me though that it doesn’t come with the power adjustable steering wheel and auto dimming side mirrors. I would have happily paid a bit extra for that.
8:46 , 21:34 it's missing the front passenger seat button (for rear passenger / driver to move the passenger sleeping in a front seat) that's def present in other markets. Wtf HMG ! 😡 even the 2025 ioniq5 has this feature ... Unless the infotainment system includes those as virtual controls to move it like it does for moving the rear row seats
We definitely love ours. Really wanted the white interior as it looks more luxurious however I could already picture a kids muddy footprint on the seats so we went with black interior.
Exactly, and I wish this was addressed here. Iknow they have another video where they had a problem with the DCT (dual clutch transmission). That scares me as it's been a widely known problem with Hyundai, even with class action lawsuits. Bells and whistles are great, but not if it's in the shop every other month. Warranty be damned.
I always hear the Pallisade and the Telluride being compared, but the bare bones of this car are identical to the modern telluride. The entire layout. Wish it had the Telly V6. It reminds me of Telluride bones with EV9 features carried over. A lot of the quirky features are from the EV9.
Thanks for your great reviews. Maybe you guys can be the first to include front passenger seat reviews. 😅 I always wonder why that gets left out. 🤷♀️ Does the Calligraphy front passenger seat also have power settings, lumbar setting and the cool reclining feature? Thanks!
Thanks! We actually used to include it but data showed that most people skipped that part of the review. Nevertheless, it has the same adjustments but no relax seat on the passenger side.
Okay this would be my perfect Santa Fe: hybrid calligraphy in green with pecan brown interior. I’d have the dealer swap the standard wheels for the XRT. I wish it came with the massage seats and fog lights though - I’d totally trade those for the finger print scanner and UV sanitizer thing. Still love the car though.
For 50 grand its hard to believe you get all this stuff. In terms of luxury, this is comparable to the germans. For 50k, you’re getting stuff that not even some higher end expensive vehicles offer. Its definitely the best in this class.
Welp, drove one today and I don't fit in it, just like so many new vehicles.. was "kinda" nice.. i went in expecting a good quality, but the touch points didn't really win me over. The seats, and driving position was terrible for my body type. at 6'2in tall, i have a small torso, so i need to go up, problem is, when you do that, it scissors you forward, and when you have long legs, you have no place to put them. Was a nice idea on paper, but too small..
Just went to Cincinnati auto show. This vehicle was there in this color. The color is cool. The Hyundai rep said you cannot run this mat finish through a car wash or you'll ruin it. So, you have to hand wash your car. The bulbous rear is not bad in dark colors. I didn't like the H head lights. I have the 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy and I wouldn't trade it in for this model.
I still love our 2023 Santa fe Calligraphy AWD 2.5 turbo. I do like the dashboard and camera rear view mirror. We don't carry many people being in our 70s so the 3rd row doesn't interest us. I like our panoramic sunroof in ours rather than the 2 sunroofs. I believe we will keep our 2023. Had it 18 months and 4000 miles so it stays in the garage unless it is sunny 😂 The 2024 has a different look which is ok. The new one weighs about 500 lbs more and will effect performance which is important to me.
Can you confirm, the 2nd row passengers do not have their own climate control but the 3rd row passengers do? I did not see any controls in the video for the second row.
Holy fantastic, Batman! But, as I always say, most vehicles only look great in maybe just one available color in the whole lineup. And that matte gold-ish one here makes all the curves actually POP with luxury! Unfortunately, though, every one with the other regular/metallic paints really flattens the panels, giving it a look of a cheap box.
I really hate the digital displays in place of functional buttons. Trying to drive and make adjustments at the same time is very annoying. I wish they would keep the physical buttons.
Looking forward to seeing Calligraphy Hybrid Msrp ……for fall. If the out door price is under $50k, I’m in….(plus more comfortable with that than the full gas transmission problem you guys ran into!!! ) Keep doing what u do Guys!! 👍
Be safe guys, I don't really care how "Focused" the driver is, human error. 3:52 when you're filming and kneeling behind the vehicle, don't do anything but keep it in park and with NOBODY behind the wheel. I'm sure it's something you're already aware of, just a friendly reminder.
I tried to like the Ford Flex. It never grew on me. I am trying to like this. I doubt I will. I guess I will call it the Santa Flex. Great for some, but not my cup of tea.
Ok guys your playing crazy hold music, not real music. Play something we can really judge. With that said love this vehicle drove one yesterday probably going to get it.
I heard matte paint is not good on a vehicle? Also hard pass on captains chairs. I’d go with the XRT. A relative of mine has light colored leather in there Mazda and regrets it. Can’t keep it clean. 😂
I like the exterior and interior of this compared to Highlander and Pilot but the reliability and resale value is below avg compared to its Toyota and Honda counterparts parts.. if I had super extra money to spare I’d go for this..otherwise.. it’s Toyota Honda Mazda with the smarter choice

I just got one just like this. I'm so impressed with it so far. I love it.
if you don’t care about price you definitely aren’t buying a hyundai
This is definitely one of the best 3 row SUVs in a while. A very strong offering that provides a premium practical and upscale interior, and a boxy exterior
3:54 DUDE I thought you were about to get ran the eff over! WoW! This car is gorgeous. Wife just test drove a white calligraphy and we want it!
The calligraphy comes with rear collision avoidance, he would’ve been fine.
That color is stunning
I cancel my order on this colot since you can't take it to the carwash
Love the duracel color
Fire! Video came in perfect time
Steering wheel should be power adjusted. Otherwise fantastic.
Hyundai absolutely killed it with Santa Fe & the price point is fantastic! This is our next family SUV!
i cannot deny it, I really really REALLY wanrt one of these in this color, but I'm, not buying ANYTHING until I see the new Palisade/Telluride whenver hey debut.
I need the palisade to be a bigger version of this with dual exhaust and better looking rear!
2025 Palisade/Telluride supposed to have a 2.5T hybrid. Likely see it debut late summer
@@losequis7682the rear is ugly lmao but idc I’m still getting it 😂

Hybrid ?
Lots of luxurious features but wish there was an option for a second row bench seat.
3:06 tbh the Hyundai Santa Fe should of been full led lights since it’s the top trim
3:54 srt and xrt are very similar
According to the specs on Hyundai’s website, Highway Drive Assist 2 is only available on the Calligraphy. I was disappointed by that because I want a second row bench AND HDA 2…sadly not on option.
That earthy brass matte is a great color. Does the matte finish tend to show fingerprints any more than a gloss finish?
The matte colors are pretty, but if you Google about the paint, you shouldn't go through a car wash. Should only be handwashed. A consideration if you want to wash the salt off your car after a snow and don't want to be in the freezing cold outside handwashing.
Not so much for fingerprints, but it is much easier to damage or scratch
I just got this trim two weeks ago. Car still growing on me i wish the back was a little wider and bigger. However, i love it . Very nice car .

Man, I’m really early today, enjoy your weekend guys!
You too!
Looks So much like a range rover the square shape and look ,i love it a lot ,thinking of changing my palisade for the santa fe
Like that brown that definitely luxurious
Great Video
....could you guys review the XRT with emphasis on off-roading.... Much appreciated
I’ve ordered a Hybrid Calligraphy. It saddens me though that it doesn’t come with the power adjustable steering wheel and auto dimming side mirrors. I would have happily paid a bit extra for that.
Does anyone know if the rear sunroof retracts open as well, or is it only the front sunroof?…

It has in screen controls for the REAR seats but not the passenger seat
How do you make the front lights strobe?
We definitely love ours. Really wanted the white interior as it looks more luxurious however I could already picture a kids muddy footprint on the seats so we went with black interior.
Does Calligraphy or limited have a bench seat ? I don’t like the captain chairs it waste spaces for 5 people 😂
Everything besides Calligraphy gets bench seating
Hyundai certainly makes great looking vehicles. The transmission issues from your previous videos, make me pause on buying one.

Why did the Sante Fe move by itself at 3:54 ?
Receiving the same color and trim next week.
Does this calligraphy have puddle light illumination at night?

It is BOLD!
3rd row should be optional. Save the 3rd row for the larger vehicles
It's optional in Korea. The problem is the US version always cut features or customization choices while the price is higher than it in Korea.
This car is superb. They just released the Calligraphy in the Philippines.
I wanna get the Calligraphy trim with either that Earth tone or a Dark gray exterior, light brown interior
Thanks for your great reviews. Maybe you guys can be the first to include front passenger seat reviews. 😅 I always wonder why that gets left out. 🤷♀️ Does the Calligraphy front passenger seat also have power settings, lumbar setting and the cool reclining feature? Thanks!

Fun fact:
The "symbol" on the steering wheel is actually 4 dots, which is Morse code for H.

I would to see (and hear) an acceleration video of the Calligraphy Hybrid from the driver's point of view
We are looking to get a lot of Hybrid content soon!
I thought you were gong to compare the ride quality against the sel trim with 18" wheels.
We will be on Tuesday when we are allowed to discuss
Can you do the night review of this trim please !? I really appreciate it.
Good, Nice Car
I just bought one
Here in this Caligraphy is not have massage system i hope when i buy this car they have
If the rear looked like the new Traverse, this car would be flying off of the lot. Now hundreds sitting at least here in GA
Can you confirm, the 2nd row passengers do not have their own climate control but the 3rd row passengers do? I did not see any controls in the video for the second row.
That is correct

Would like to see dual tip exhaust and V6 Turbo We'd like to hear More about this suspension
This is the most powerful car ine the world
What's the price?
50k
That key fob is ridiculously big
Did i miss it? No climate control on the second row?
Theres a control knob in the third row for some reason
Wow, that is one tall load height in the rear 😳
Aston, you need an Auburn Polo!
I want all of those features but, for that price I can get a high trim Telluride
You can't compare this with Telluride. Telluride Is cheap compared to Santa fe
I’ve got second thoughts on buying this because of your transmission failure on your car.
lemon
Fixed under warranty in 2 weeks. 😂
Almost always going to happen if you buy a car the day it was released lol for any manufacturer. Give Hyundai a break lol
I haven’t seen a car manufacturer that don’t have fail transmission

This one transmission works? Wow😂😂😂
google the current class actions law suits against Toyota and Honda. LOLLLL
Then Infinity has an Autograph trim
Mazda has the Signature trim
What trim is next, Handwriting?
lol
Does a broken transmission come with the calligraphy as well? Or is that extra?
I recommend you google class action law suit against Toyota failing transmission.
