just ok

first 4 days roof rack end caps fell off and lost on highway dealer has still not provided replacements. cannot shut off door unlocked notification on app. seatbelt receivers are to low hard to reach. temperature controls do not remain set have to do setting every start up. auto braking and adaptive cruise is way over what is needed. rear seatbelt sensors continually beep if you put a bag or anything on seat.

Love the Car.. Still needs some improvements. The calligraphy Hybrid needs more horsepower and a bigger battery. I also don't like that some features have been removed from the 2026 model compare to the 2025 model.

Needs more room

The truck room is not enough. Make vehicle a foot longer. No spare tire space. If you can do like jeep and put it on the back that would be great. Keep in mind motor on trunk opener would need more power for the weight, or make it like jeep does where the back opens to side. Mpg calculated is always about 10% below indicated. Your computer claims better mpg than it really gets. And it still doesn’t hit you highway claims while driving it calmly.

Recommend buy the Palisades if wanting a more luxury feel of comfort

Not Comfy.

Love the interior and how it drives not crazy about the exterior.

I really enjoy how the car handles and everything about the interior. I do not car for the appearance of the exterior. I prefer the old look of the Santa Fe.

Little tweaks

Overall it's a great vehicle. Some minor tweaks and it would be superb. The center console is difficult to maneuver around and the the wipers don't get the windows very clear.

Couldn't be happier

August, 2025,,I went with a friend to look at Kia/Hyundai suvs...I couldn't understand why those manufacturers, but, oh well. I wasn't too impressed with the Kias, but then we went to the Hyundai store. My friend wanted to look at a Santa Fe hybrid Calligraphy. I started listening to the salesman as he made his delivery. Then we took it for a ride. That's where I really started paying attention. I remember Hyundai's from 20 years ago where you buy one, drive it a year, and then leave it in some ditch. Not anymore. I don't know when Hyundai stepped up it's game, but what a leap. I waited about 3 months for my friend to own it before I made a decision to get one for myself. So, about 3 months ago, I bout a 2026 Santa FE hybrid Caligraphy. It now has about 2200 miles on it and I couldn't be any happier. About 32mpg on the highway and 38-42 in city normal driving. The myhyundai app on my phone is great with all of it's possibilities. Not to forget mentioning the warrantees that comes with it.So much to talk about and so little time. I can't adequately say enough good things that I have experienced in such a short time of ownership. I'm really impressed. The only disappointment is I wish they still offered the free 3 yr 36000 miles oil changes they offered for the 2025's.

Great SUV for the price and the Hybrid is fantastic MPG wise!

Inside and Out this SUV is well designed. One problem is the A/C in the back doesn't reach the middle passenger and that's terrible for Vegas summers. The other is it gets shaky when you go over 80 mph even in sport mode which was surprising. Overall it a great SUV and would buy again if those two things are changed over the next few years!
