Comfortable, stylish, some software flaws.
If you slapped a Genesis sticker on the Calligraphy edition, I wouldn't question it. You get a lot for you money... it is loaded with features. The interior is beautiful, but kind of weird for storage - not bad, just weird. The exterior looks like a much more expensive brand. It's quiet, the ride is "floaty", but doesn't roll in corners like other SUVs, very nice, very smooth. I use the highway driving assist all the time, and while not as perfect as some cars, it is better than most and even has some features they lack, like lane change assist (which works well, but can be pretty aggressive).
While there are a few poorly placed buttons, and the 2nd row seat takes forever to move for 3rd row passengers, the only real complaints I have are software issues. One thing I didn't realize when I bought it is that the car does not do automatic parking. It has all the equipment needed to do it, it just lacks the softtware... fair warning. If Android Auto disconnects while driving, there's no way to reconnect it without a cable (every other car I've had with AA just reconnects automatically) so keep a cable in the car. If you leave a door or the liftgate open in your garage overnight, the car will discharge and need to be jumped the next day. You can't leave the car on and lock the door (to go into a store on a winter day, for example). And here's a nitpick - If you leave the car running, you can't lock it (dumb), you can only turn it off, lock the door and remote start it.
The flaws are effectively all software gaps that could be fixed. But physically, the Hyundai engineers deserve a lot of credit.
A note - I am averaging around 26 mpg combined gas mileage. About 25 on the highway, 30ish in town. I drive conservatively.
