Im in love with this Santa Defender! It offends the soccer mom style of other SUVs. I can't wait for the hybrid version. That's the one im interested in.
I was today years old when I stumbled on this channel. FINALLY, a youtuber that covers the topic Ive been wanting to know about, DO IT SLAP DOE? lol! Subbed 4 life bro!
I was surprised to hear you say that the centerpoint setting did not sound good in the vehicle. Listening here on headphones it actually sounded richer to me when you switched it over. This is the exact vehicle I'm getting so I'll be paying attention to that when I hit the road.
3 weeks in with Calligraphy, and I agree with a B+ sound system rating. It is balanced and clear, but could use just a little more power in the mid bass. You can max out the volume without the distortion, but it's not powerful in the way it affects you physically. Maybe if they had a subwoofer up front?
It's tough with stock audio, because as a GenX we had trunks filled with subs and high end alpine or kicker components in shitty cars in the mid 90's to mid 00's.. today they have gotten better at giving you a good sounding stock radio, but.. It's gotta be hard to review these stock radios when the after market is still so much better..😂
As much as I appreciate your video it would be nice if you would bring the camera close to show what you’re doing on the screen. That’s what I’m trying to visually see to help me out .
I have been waiting for this review. Just bought one three weeks ago. I checked your page prior to choosing between two vehicles but you hadn’t done the review at that time. I decided to by this. One of the things I found weird is the track selection button. To go to the next track you have to shift the dial down or toward you instead of away from you. Seemed counterintuitive.
the Hyundai genesis 4.6 sedan is the only sedan that I come to love the audio, I can easily tune it to my Hifiman Susvara, tight bass, clear mids and highs...
Have you considered testing to see how well the infotainment system handles switching between 2 phones connected simultaneously ? That scenario had been iffy on my ioniq 5 lease (2023), won't play anytime at times & Cuts off the first 1+ seconds of Google naps navigation prompts (just Bluetooth, not Android auto)
Probably not any time soon; I reached out to Tesla PR for a refreshed Model 3, and they said they didn't want to accommodate, so I assume CT would be out of the question. But if a SoCal subscriber wants to give me some time in one, I could evaluate.
When I first set up Android Auto, it went wireless. Now when I connect the cable it doesn't source the audio from the cable. Anyone know how to force wired connection?
Can't wait to see your review of the Mark Levinson, I think it will be a Mark Levinson system, in the new Lexus GX! I am considering buying a previous gen GX. But if the new one has a better audio system, I might wait and get that one instead!
@@rustbeltrobclassic2512 Damn man, that sucks. Hopefully the newer ones are better, still trying to save up a down payment for one! Love Lexus, currently driving a 2013 Lexus ES300h. 35MPG 185k miles, beautiful car. Only bad thing, no Mark Levinson :(
@@flamegaming760 Oh i loved my es330, was still baby quiet when i let it go to the next owner, but my 18 GX was trash, i drove the new one, was interested in it, but everything in it felt cheap, the material weren't as good as my older gx and no where near as good as my es. The new GX also has a massive engine recall and a buy back on some of the early ones. the engines are letting go due to a bad casting leaving debris in the engine causing the bottom end to eat bearings, the new gx and the tundra are having huge engine recalls due to it.. I dunno if i would buy another toyota product.. After dealing with Lexus corporate, imo not a company that stands behind the product. I had so many issues with mine, i ended up dumping it at 58k miles because it was borderline dangerous to drive.. so bad that my wife told me to get a new car after she drove it.. ended up buying a calligraphy hybrid santa fe.. was never a badge hog, just wanted a quiet comfortable ride with a good stereo and nice materials. Never in my life thought the company that gave us the Excel in the 80's would give us this beautifully built vehicle.. Good luck with your new GX.. maybe just lease it??
My friend has the newer Sonata and the Bose is one of the best I've heard it has crisp mids and highs and strong tight bass! Also the newer Accords test drove one sounded really good too
@@DailyMotorSound Speaking of expensive, when I orderd my 2023 Bolt EV, I went with the 1LT with a couple option packages. I like mine so much and with the great deals on the remaining Bolts, I just closed the deal on another new 2023 Bolt EV with the 2LT trim, Bose package and adaptvie cruise in black. Will be selling my 1LT to CarMax next week after I pick up the new one. Now I need to remove my great Soumatrix speakers before dropping of to CarMax.
Hyundais historically have been a decent deal 3 years old. Though not sure now as the used car market has been a mess. And newer hyundai SUVs are much more popular, so depreciation may not be as nice as 6 years ago.

DO IT SLAP DOE? I need a DISP rating
Not bad at all, the new Santa Fe is on my short list for a new car. The vehicle looks cool also!
Wow, much better than the previous gen Santa Fe thats for sure!

I got a calligraphy a week ago, and I adjusted my fader a couple notches to the rear and seemed to help fill it out the sound better.
turning on the Bose center point made my audio much better. Personal opinion.
Just the video I was looking for, thanks for sharing!
I have a 22 Calligraphy Palisade and this system sounds balanced and overall better than it's bigger brother
Agreed, hope this means Hyundai will be improving audio across the board
Interesting. 👍
The Genesis gv60 you gave a A / A+.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 you gave a B.
Right, I would say the GV60 is a more premium product.

You mentioned 5.1 performance. Is that correct?
Is that the beige interior option on the calligraphy only?
would u do sonata bose 12 speaker system or would they be p much the same quality?

Hahaha I totally agree. I've made that mistake multiple times in Hyundais

good job bro 👌🙌
YOU have to reach forward. Some of us have longer arms and can reach the display easily. ;)
Is there an rca out on the stock infotainment unit such that you can add an external power amplifier to the system?
You've a wonderful selection of sound tracks. Mine to share the titles?
Sure thing, they're all in the description!

Good to know, I can try that when we get the Santa Fe at home.
When will you be reviewing the Tesla Cybertruck?
Probably not any time soon; I reached out to Tesla PR for a refreshed Model 3, and they said they didn't want to accommodate, so I assume CT would be out of the question. But if a SoCal subscriber wants to give me some time in one, I could evaluate.

I'd be blown away if the newer system sounds better. Newest MLs have been letdowns, and the old GX was top tier.
@@DailyMotorSound Awesome. I am really excited to be able to get that GX then, beautiful SUV! Keep the videos coming man! Great channel!
@@flamegaming760I just dumped a 2018 gx 460 with the mark levison, the only good thing after 6 years was the ML stereo.. i hated that truck..

where is the B&O test on the S8?
Coming this week, likely Saturday
Is it mazda like bose or better?
Mazda's Bose systems are superior to Hyundai's. Or, at least that's what I've been told.
Mazda's Bose systems are on upper tier than Hyundai. I have tested them both and went with Mazda
My friend has the newer Sonata and the Bose is one of the best I've heard it has crisp mids and highs and strong tight bass! Also the newer Accords test drove one sounded really good too
@@wizardguy14Honda definitely made a good choice going to Bose because their sound systems before were absolutely terrible from what I've heard.
Why are all the tested music genres so bad. Hardly anyone listens to that crap. Just play pop, classic rock, country, jazz or r&b.
51 grand? No thanks. That thing is ugly and way too expensive in my opinion. But then, all cars are getting way too expensive.
Yeah, inflation is real. A modestly speced Santa Fe is a better deal.

yeah, but i also traded in my old car for 75% of its original value. so u do get a lot off of that.
