Purchased a Calligraphy Hybrid FWD 3 weeks ago. We searched high and low and there is nothing that compares in luxury, refinement, or tech for the $50k price point. It rides and feels like an $80K vehicle. I've always driven luxury German cars and the build quality of the Calligraphy and tech just blows me away.
There is nothing similar from a tech perspective, I completely agree, Mazda or Toyota feels like a car build 10 yrs ago
the Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum is my dream car but it's $71,000CAD (after taxes), whereas a base model Santa Fe Hybrid is only $49,000CAD (40% cheaper than the Toyota hybrid). Due to the huge price difference and the insane rate 'o theft, I went Santa Fe. It's about the same size and same MPG as the regular highlander hybrid.
I have the Hybrid version and it is great. It has 270 ft/lb of torque at 1000-4000 RMP, it can move of the line especially in sport mode. It also has locking differential which is really nice to help with off-roading. I have towed the max towing capacity and it did a great job and got 26MPG while towing! I like that it has a 6-speed auto with paddle shifters and not those annoying CVT's that you usually get with a hybrid. I am averaging slightly over 35 MPG on mixed driving at one mile above sea level. It got 34.3MPG on the going to the sun road in Glacier National Park!
Had a Limited front wheel drive delivered March 1. At almost 10,000 miles zero complaints. Quick and 27 mpg running to town.
I own a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe and the engine failed at 70,000Km. However Hyundai Canada replaced the engine free of charge and I am now at $180,000km on this 2nd engine and the Car has been perfect since then. I Can say that the warranty is very reassuring.
@@S.M.A.Batista, how much time did you wait for the engine replacement?
Because the best (top Japanese) cars don't usually waste time for anything, they just enjoy using their cars.
Time is a precious resource, a true luxury that cannot be achieved with unreliable cars.
Excellent review. Helpful and informative.
Thank you!
You always answer all my questions in a magnificient way ... thank you
You're welcome!
The DCT in wife's 2022 Mini Cooper Countryman has performed flawlessly for 2 years and 32,000 miles. It's a 7-speed DCT, and other than a very slight engagement (about .5 second) from a complete stop, you'd never know it isn't a traditional automatic trans. Shifts are smooth, quick, and predictable.
Keep watching your mechatronic
32k isn’t much of a test. 150k is. I’ve had Toyotas and drove all of them over 200k. Not one transmission problem ever. Did replace 2 clutches in 2 of them.
I am buying one. Thank you car help canada for making a good deal for me.
Have to give it to Hyundai and KIA for their excellent design and aesthetics
WHY all they do is copy other manufacturers this was a rip off from Land Rover
@@bh2155 stop hating
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 it's not hating its a fact. Their cars are also junk!
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 That is the facts. Hyundai/ Kia cars are junk!
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 dude cheerleading for mid cars, not even luxury brands. Relax, lil bro, No one wants your Elantra
Remember people this company instead of fixing the engine issues they just installed an engine knock sensor, you know to let people know when the engine is going to blow up....
I wish the hybrid had better interior options in Canada
I believe, you're only limited in color, the rest is similar to gas models
Got one, fantastic car. Fantastic space, sober outside and high end inside. Technology is outstanding.
I wonder why most car reviewers always like to bring in Honda Toyota to any video as benchmark when it could just be a Hyundai video. I do see 2009 tucson on roads too aren't they reliable? just coz japanese got attention back then and millions were bought doesn't mean we can say Hyundai was bad
While the top Japanese brands are the most reliable, Korean brands are out of Top 10 reliability.
Is that a good enough reason to buy the segments' champions (ofc, Japanese)?
If not, let's also look at the low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) ranking - where, again, the Japanese brands are the champions and no Koreans are there.
If you are still not convinced, let's look at recalls percentage , where Koreans are champions 😂
You need a reference to compare with. Toyota and Honda are the benchmark. No doubt!
To get the real picture, You need to talk to those 2009 Hyundai guys to find out if their engine or transmission was replaced by Hyundai under warranty
@victormendoza5819 highlander and pilot too$$
Need top trim to get Memory seats... "$"
Nope, not me!
Sante fe Value and warranty❤
Car Confection guys bought one new and tranny failed , not once twice so far.
I saw that ... but it happens with every car maker no car brand is perfect unless you're paying 6 figures and more
it's a lemon. Stop trolling.
They got the dual clutch. Hybrid doesn't have it. Hybrid has 6 speed transmission. I would recommend buy the Hybrid.
The trans failed them twice in two vehicles....
Hyundai bought the second one back................Garbage Trans !
@@bextar6365 it's a lemon, stop trolling
On the contrary, i got 30mpg on high way. I have non hybrid calligraphy awd
The gas mileage is suffering because the engine is too small for the weight vehicle.
Though not impressive at 20-28 with such a large suv is not too bad average . The dual clutch is not a good fit with this for sure I had one in my Veloster and it was clunky.
We are a family of six and we bought the 7 seater
Watch Car Confections and see how there Santa Fe SEL has worked out so far. 😏
lemon car. Stop trolling
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 Facts go watch the following video not trolling at all.
@@davealmer3803 not all Santa fes experiencing the issue.
@@darkivaz-aaa1145, wow!
This is extraordinary: not all Santa Fe cars are bad 😂
The back looks like a 92 geo metro 😂. If you get one you will need a hitch. The bottom of the trunk door is part of the bumper 🤦
I wish they kept the v-6 engine. Turbo 4-cylinders never last as long as a v-6 or v-8.
Have You ever heard of early 2000s Geneva convention auto manufacturers conference?
Where ALL car manufacturers made an agreement that they would manufacture vehicles which within 10 year usage it would have a repair exceeding value of the vehicle.
Manufacturers that didn't sign it, were SAAB and Suzuki
And car manufacturers had no say on what motors to use. Governments have forced them to : make smaller engines to burn less fuel, by that being said WINK WINK we are not mentioning NOTHING about reliability here. So go nuts! Ecoboost 180k yalla khabibi junk yard.
First they came up with 5w20 oil propaganda, then 0w20 by brainwashing people with "oooh, thinner velocity oils flow better and are easier for engine to pump through so you get better fuel economy.......riiiight, the main purpose of engine oil to lubricate and eliminate as much friction as possible........is not a factor whatsoever here.
But now they took took it to the next level, 0w16.......my piss has higher velocity than 0w16
It’s funny because we’ve always had Santa Fes with 7 seats in Australia.
The second row does move back and forth. It’s easy to fit 6 adults, simply move second row forward a few inches and you’re golden.
*Combined legroom* is actually the same as the new Chevy Traverse. Cargo is smaller as is the vehicle but actual usable legroom is identical.
Traverse also has a movable second row. They just offer less 2nd row and more 3rd row by default compared to Santa Fe.
Where are you getting your reliability and or dependability information? Most definitely NOT JD Power, CR OR Edmunds, those who track this data. Because their results don’t match your assumptions.
Wow you sure know how to exaggerate issues. Do you tell everyone when you review a Honda about their 1.5 T recalls? How about Fords record recalls this year?
Looking at the results of JD Powers dependability study for 2023:
1) Lexus
2) Genesis- HMG
3) Kia- HMG
4) Buick
5) Chevrolet
6)Mitsubishi
7) Toyota
8) Hyundai-HMG
9) MINI
10) Nissan
Honda ranked 18th btw.
It is dumb to label JD Power study on Initial Customer Satisfaction (relabeled as a Dependability survey) as a reliability survey.
The most prestigious annual reliability survey belongs to Consumer Reports and despite some yearly bs (the last one with Bring My Wallet), it is still the best (a panel of more than 310'000 cars owners, with an error margin below 3%, thus statistically relevant), where Lexus/Toyota are the peak, Honda #5 and the Koreans are out of the Top 10. Similar for the low TCO ranking and for low recalls, thus the low resale value for the Korean cars.
How good is JD Power is obvious from the huge gap between Lexus and Toyota (that are sharing a lot of the big components), Nissan, Buick, Chevrolet, mini placed higher than Honda and other bs.
I don't refer to JD Power because their reliability data only tracks periods from 90 days to 3 years. This paints a very misleading picture about a brand's reliability. Consumer Reports, ISeeCars, and CarEdge all use data over 5 to 20 year periods, and Hyundai normally ranks below average. Moreover, there have been severe heavily publicized recalls covering millions of Hyundai's over total engine failures and transmission failures, including the transmission used in the Santa Fe right now.
Genesis #2
Kia #3
Hyundai #5
This is a very sad world........
Same vehicle is rated differently.
Stay away from the double clutch "automatic " and get the hybrid instead.
I would by the hybrid because the gas model has a dual clutch transmission
Why buy Korean when Japanese is far better? Especially on hybrids: nobody is even close to Toyota/Lexus.
@@codincoman9019 I know, The Hyundai Santa Fe isn’t my dream car, my dream car is the Honda Odyssey
@@codincoman9019 nobody wants japanese junk. Toyota has more recalls than Hyundai and KIA.
Like so MANY of these videos, for all of the dialogue that is ever given there is RARELY a "FIRM CONCLUSION" - ever given.
Hard pass folks
👎🏼
The best idea is not to buy a brand new model for a couple of years until they figure out all the issues. Even the RAV4 from 2019-21 had issues.
After the theta ii engine scandal, I'll never ever consider a Hyundai or Kia
Is that right?
What do You drive?
Friend has a 2019 SonataFe that caught on fire while her mechanic was driving it after a maintenance schedule.
My mechanic told me stay away from korean brand instead get the two big names from japan and you will be fine
Sounds like the shop may not have rot oil back into the engine after draining it 😞😖🤕😢
@@jeffreylising6958what are the big two names? You may think it is Toyota and Honda.
But Honda declined in the last decade. Reliability top: Lexus #1, Toyota #2, Mazda #3, Acura #4, Honda #5. And the ranking for the low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership): #1 Toyota, #2 Mitsubishi (too many people desconsider Mitsubishi and Suzuki), #3 Lexus, #4 Honda, #5 Mazda.
Therefore most champions of the different car segments are Toyota/Lexus and Mazda.
@@codincoman9019 Top 5 most reliable brand.
1 hYUNDAI
2. KIA
3. Mitsubishi
4.Mazda
5. Toyota
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 bs. You have no statistics to back up your ridiculous claims, Korean fanboi 🤣 For idiots claiming I am a Toyota fanboi: I have no Toyota. But if I had one, I'd get far more satisfaction than from a Korean clunker, according to statistics.
How big is the gas tank with the hybrid?
17.7 gal
Which vehicle is inmune to not having any issues? Plz reply@@JoseDiaz-qw7mg
If you do buy, buy the hybrid
I wish they have hybrid option for Calligraphy in Canada, Oh Canada
I wonder how it would fare against other KIA&Hyundai family sized 3 rows
Now let's take off pink glasses.
1. How long is hybrid battery rated for
2. What is the warranty on it
3. What is the cost of replacing it
4. How many families of baby polar bears does every battery murder when recycled?
LOL don't forget the "market adjustment." I've seen these in Limit hybrid trim on sale for 50K
I loved the Santa Fe until the design change I would not drive one.
I just can't do Hyundai
Everyone gets tempted with price and gimmicks with the Korean cousins, Kia and Hyundai. Once the new car smell wears off so will your confidence in the reliability
Uhm.......are you trying to tell me that hyundai tucson is cheaper than mazda cx5 or ford escape?
Get your head out of the place where sun don't shine.
Those days are gone, quit living in 2010s
Hyundai and Kia are bullish, especially (Genesis)!. 👍🏻👌🏼😉
Car Confections entered the chat
They just tanked a lot of sales for that vehicle
@@calebwany8422 this is 100% Hyundai’s fault for putting a transmission made for compact and light sedans on a bigger than average SUV
Looks cheap & bland brand new, can you imagine at the tail end of a lease. Never buy a 4banger turbo, regardless of manufacturer the last 25 yrs has seen many failures ie just past warrenty. These power trains are loved by manufacturers b/c they are cheap to produce,function well until the turbo kills the engine, nearly always past 3 yrs.
The dual clutch is a real bad idea
Why
@@dkrawk8309 Apparently it overheats and fails.
@@10tenman10 what exactly overheats? And what exactly fails?
Hey - Please make a comparison video between a RAV4 and a Pathfinder, both lowest trim and inform us which is a better purchase for the price.
Why would anyone ever do that comparison?
Different classes of vehicle, different price range
Why not compare mins mirage to Mercedes-Benz G class?
@@dkrawk8309 I meant RAV4 hybrid le and pathfinder lowest trim, since they are about the same price.
I'm thinking you shouldn't buy it. I say that because another UA-cam channel just posted Hyundai bought back their 2024 Santa Fe after 3 months of ownership. They had transmission problems from the start.
Lemon car. Stop trolling
@@darkivaz-aaa1145 Lol, just Google Hyundai/Kia transmission problems and you would know it's not just this one vehicle having problems. Do you always take it upon yourself to do damage control, or are you trolling on behalf of Hyundai?
@@davcuts2897 only car confections have this. No body else is having that problem. Stop trolling.
Purchased a calligraphy hybrid
I am sorry
@bh2155 ill let you know how nice it is ;)
If you are thinking on having a car for 10 to 15 years go with... lol, really? I mean yeah, those other brands do look like 10 to 15 years old cars and as such its technology but, definitely it is a pass if you are thinking on keeping this car for 10+ years.
How about the realibility of this car?
This channel has their crystal ball at a repair shop , just waiting for some replacement parts, as soon as they come in we will let you know.
Like is you seriously that dull??
reliability is no longer important to these buyers and, of course, reliability is not profitable for manufacturers.
Hyundai Kia are the new Toyota Honda. Hyundai Kia EVs are light years ahead of BMW BENZ and AUDI
Nope, can’t do the back end. I understand the reason but it’s just too dang ugly. 😂
I was thinking the same thing. It seems like the back end does not flow with the rest of the car. It's ugly
5/22/24 - Both Hyundai and Kia are affordable
For the Amenities
However, no to either brand name
Engine / trans / stolen
Affordability is the name of the game these days
YOU IS FULL OF IT
1. Kia nor hyundai are cheaper than ford escape or mazda cx5
2. Hmm......I guess people around the world are SOOOOOO stupid, that most describe cars are hyundai and kia so they get stolen.
Like what is your iQ score? 10?
Too much “rather” eh
People always need an SUV to carry more people when in reality only one person is inside of the vehicle 99% of the time😕
Environmental disaster, also with electric SUVs, so much pollution and raw material wasted 😢 we need small efficient vehicles
@@SGA32-b8h I agree Americans are so ignorant we always have to over indulge and be excessive about everything!
Major transmission issues. Also, motor issues class action suit coming soon very dishonest company.
Wait what? You got something majorly wrong. ALL models of the 2024 Santa Fe come with the 2.5 L turbo engine. INCLUDING the hybrid. They come with different transmissions however.
Actually the hybrid has a 1.6L engine. It is the same one used in the Tucson.
@@carhelpcorner Same engine dude with turbo. Only minor variation. Even after I corrected you you still don’t mention it’s turbo. You were wrong. Just be a man and admit it and redo your highly inaccurate review.
Should you buy the all new Santa Fe? Uh..NO!!
Do not buy! They are breaking down bad! There really is a problem with Hyundai and Kia! Transmissions are blowing at troubling numbers. Even if the lemon rate is at .5% of sold, that’s extreme! Just avoid the car maker for now. Yes there are plenty of good ones but I continue to see tons of complete lemons even at the 23’ and 24’ models!
DCT is bad. Hybrid is good
Stop it
Lies, if that were the case there would be a recall. Exaggerate much?
@@techpappee Did Ford issue a recall on the Fiesta trannies that consistently failed prior to Detroit Auto Press releasing their investigation.... the answer is no. Hyundai usually waits until NHTSA is knocking on their door. Just look at how many years it took them to recall the vehicles for engine fires. If you want Hyundai buy their electric offerings, minimal fire risk and essentially no tranny failures.
Hyundai & Kia are great
It’s beautiful in appearance, technically unreliable and those who bought it will start getting rid of this car in a couple of years.
Huyndai is crap quality and I'd never buy one after the way they handled the KIA Boyz theft issue.
Nobody cares about what you will or won't buy
Hyundai/Kia have a gloomy reliability history.
It looks great new... just like an ex wife. Give it time before rushing in.
Absolute nonsense.
You have zero idea what you is yapping about
@@dkrawk8309 Sorry you invested so heavily in Hyundai/Kia stocks!
🤣🤣🤣
@@islanddon865 I'm sorry you have nazi symbols on your picture.
@@dkrawk8309 he's a toyota fanboy. Most of them don't have high intelligence.
:)
This guy must be being paid off, he gives horrible advice.
Ya think?
It looks very ugly in my opinion. No identity by being so different than previous models.
Hyundai sucks. My 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Ultimate V6 crapped out at 64k at 35 mph with no warning. The engine suddenly started to sound like a tank. Hyundai won't do a thing for me or the thousands of other people that have a hunks of metal, glass, plastic, rubber...etc, that are undrivable and still have to make the payments on.
DON'T BUY a HYUNDAI. I will keep posting this on every Hyundai forum I find until they make it right by people that spent hard earned money because we trusted them and their product.
***Important piece...I'm the 2nd owner. Bought it used at Knauz(now Libertyville Hyundai) in Illinois July 2019 with 31k and dead by December of 2022 with 64k.
