Did you get it yet? It took me 6 months, and I was about to cancel it when I finally got it. But I'm glad I did get it. It's a nice car, a very nice car. I used to have a CRV, and I became a Honda fan with my last two cars. But I heard, and it is true, that you get more for your $$$ w/ Hyundai and Kia than Honda. Yeah, I got the Calligraphy, which is the top trim. But I tell you, there are some nice toys with this thing. It's far better than just getting a small 10" screen and apply car play!
I have a 2022 SF Hybrid and I love the new redesign. The rear end look could be better, but it has grown on me. I do wish they would change that annoying sound when in reverse on the hybrid though. Maybe something that still alerts, but a better sound like what BMW or HONDA does for their hybrids. On my 22 SF hybrid I am getting about 34-36 mpg for both city/highway combined.
Placed an order on a calligraphy e months left of a 4 month weight as I order a black on black 6 seater to Australia. Really can’t wait to take ownership
Os problemas que existem no sistema de transmissao de 8 velocidades parece nao existir no hibrido que e de 6 velocidades....Sera??? O caligraphy tambem pode ser hibrido????? Qual a capacidade de reboque?....tenho uma caravaba de 2000 kg
@@timvibes the Camry is a great vehicle, comfort is better with the Santa Fe but it’s also an suv. Both are great vehicles, Toyota will be better with mpg, tech/ room with Hyundai and the Camry you can get it lower in price. I would pick either but the extra room makes me go to Hyundai
I am clueless why people in Florida have SUVs except if they came from cold country or they like to drive onto beaches. But SUVs are the cool factor. I suppose they are safer in rain
Nice review Anthony. This is really the best SUV in the segment. I just like the way the Palisade looks a bit better. My Egyptian brother from another mother just bought a Santa Fe but he was not too sure of which model. His English is way better than my Arabic so we'll figure it out lol! Quiet and cool day here but the heat is coming next week. Hope that you had a great day Anthony
That’s awesome and I agree Hyundai has changed this segment with this suv. Not only do you receive more than anyone in class but it looks cool too 😁. The back needs a touch up but otherwise great suv. It’s back to over 100 degrees now for almost two weeks but in the shade it’s not so bad. The humidity is what makes it hard here tomorrow it’s reading 100%. I’m learning to read and right Arabic. I am almost able to read but very slow. Thanks James
@@HawkeyeRides Oh wow that is a long time for hot weather. It gets like that here in the summer and fall but luckily the May gray and hopefully June gloom will hang around. Oh wow I could not imagine trying to read and write Arabic! I'm going to keep working on conversing in it. Of course living in SoCal means I have a decent Spanish Vocabulary 😁Have a good one Anthony
I think it’s silly (Sorento) to not offer 5 adult seats at all. Why is it so important to offer third row when the car doesn’t have proper size for third row. Even the bigger Telluride’s third row is only for kids or short people. People don’t have kids and just want a roomy standard suv are left with no choice.
@@batmama4242 3 weeks into owning it, warning lights suddenly came on and I couldn’t accelerate while driving in traffic. Had it towed and service dept said a wire came loose, so they reattached it. 5 days later, it happened again on the freeway!

You learn what the narrator is talking about. What would you learn by watching the gauges while I’m driving ? Not trying to sound rude but the reason for a review is from a reviewers knowledge of this vehicle and other vehicles to help compare so you can get an idea of them. For the drive part you are not only looking at the road but you can hear the exterior sounds, see if the vehicle is smooth (camera will show vibrations) and get a feel of how it is on the road. If none of this helps the best option would be to go to the dealership and see for yourself but with my reviews I research to help the viewer.
@@HawkeyeRides I appreciate the information. But I am wondering if the Hybrid is presenting engine rpm/hybrid information in the right hand dial. I thought I saw that in another video that was in a non-English video. I was hoping to see if the acceleration/coasting/constant speed was essentially displayed by the rpm dial.
….and a test ride will be in our future. But I still wonder if a lower part of the screen couldn’t have displayed the dials while still offering the external view showing any vibrations you suggest. I fully understand I am quibbling over someone’s choice of video when THEY are the ones who made the effort to detail information while I’m sitting at home. But comments seem to be encouraged and I (selfishly) was hoping to see one particular display since most might understand hybrid functionality while I’ve not seen one.
The reviews are so positive about this car! I've placed an order for a white Calligraphy with tan interior. Can't wait.
Congratulations 🎉

The hybrid is a 6 speed non dct but towing drops to 2,000 lbs max on all hybrid trims
I know they've very different, but I'm deciding between this or the '25 Toyota Camry hybrid. Thoughts on different driving experiences?
@@timvibes the Camry is a great vehicle, comfort is better with the Santa Fe but it’s also an suv. Both are great vehicles, Toyota will be better with mpg, tech/ room with Hyundai and the Camry you can get it lower in price. I would pick either but the extra room makes me go to Hyundai
They need to add a real spare tire!
I agree
Agreed, I bought one off eBay and added it to my 2023 Santa Fe Hybrid Limited.
Australian version gets a full size spare.
@@RobertFacchin in the hybrid? Where is it stored?
@@kdbwiz it's stored underneath the car.
Is it worth to get 4or all wheel drive which I believe adds almost 2k ? I am undecided on this one factor as I do like to go on dirt roads
My new suv is awd but it’s because of the increase of towing with the hybrid I would save the extra money but if you go on dirt roads I would.
I like the AWD for the snow, assuming we get any but remember it will also cost you 2MPG!

It’s the best look, but its a terrible car lol you’re gonna have some many issues
@@ThePmiller32you’re thinking of the gas powertrain. Hybrid is completely different.
Great video
@@martinsimonea4228 thank you Martin
How about vs Hybrid Sorento? I love they fact that you can have captain chairs in all of their trims
They are awesome too 👍
And AWD for PHEV unlike in Santa Fe.

weird choise not to offer captains on the hybrid.. looks like huyndia forgot about the great white north.
@@hnng3919 What? In Poland you can choose 5, 6 or 7 seats. Where do you live?
The new 2024 Santa Fe Stormtrooper edition. 😌⚔️
The Santa Fe is a nice vehicles 👍
So what is the problem? Or did I miss it?
@@hnng3919 yes you missed it’s in the video. Normally I explain it in the drive or at the end of the exterior part 👍
That area looks familiar! I know Florida highways when I see them.
Lakewood area 👍
Mine had to be towed twice in the first month of owning it! Very disappointed with this car.

What’s the real world MPG?
29 combined and 31/28
That’s far off from the 36/35 advertised
@@gibreezy the first few hundred to thousand miles will have a lot of different reading than it should be a lot closer or the specs on the msrp.

36mpg. Local 10 mile run, I got as much as 44-62 mpg
