2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@k.p.p.192]

I just picked up my 2023 Santa Fe calligraphy a few days ago. Silver with AWD. It’s beautiful inside and out. And quick to 60mph. The gauges weren’t attached to any drive mode when you drove it. Mine turns red when in sport mode. Also most reviews on the Santa Fe don’t show that it actually has 4 different layouts for dashboard.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Sounds like a beautiful suv! Wish you luck with it and hope you enjoy👍🏼 I was also surprised that the gauges weren’t changing there must be something in the settings because the palisade Limited that’s getting posted soon had the gauges change based on drive mode.

[@the.lumiere.collective]

@@WTFCRLT1 You can turn this setting on. Go to the Cluster settings and check "Link to drive mode"

What’s the difference between 2022 and 2023

[@k.p.p.192]

@@travelwilder as far as I know the only difference is “over the air” updates to navigation is now on the 2023 model year.

Purchased a 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy Turbo a few weeks ago. Needless to say, it is incredible!!!!

[@jimsmith8324]

Bought the 2023 Calligraphy a month ago. Awesome. I'd like to see more work on the wind noise. Wife has a 2019 and she doesn't like all the buttons on the 2023 console. I would make the shiny trim under the grill color coordinated. Some buttons are slow to respond. The vehicle beeps at me for every possible reason, and some are totally unnecessary. Mine is Portofino gray with black interior which looks great. I added weathertech mats aftermarket. This is a feature rich vehicle that offers tons of value. And that 2.5T engine makes it fly. The interior materials are so much better than anything else in this price level or even the higher one. I think they are going to lengthen this SUV for 2024 which just means more money. The 2023 is probably the last cheap Santa Fe.

[@Noseel]

I managed to turned off most of the beeps on mine. Get into the settings.

[@elroyblackbean]

It's impressive how well you know this car and can speak to it without stopping. Nice review. P.S. Thanks for not doing all the other channel-focused, cutesy crap that everyone else does.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thank you I’m glad you like it! 👍🏼

[@geoffmcdaniel2729]

The instrument gages can be locked into a certain format (which then stops them from changing to a different color / format when you switch into sport mode). You change that on the settings screen. That’s likely why it didn’t change colors with the animation when you switched it to sport mode.

[@theshield44]

Good to know. Thanks

[@Sa-db2xj]

Online sites say dual clutch transmission is not good. I would like to know from current 2023 Hyundai Santa fe turbo engine SUV drivers if they are seeing any issues with dct at high or low speeds?

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

This 23' Hyundai Santa Fe SUV is amazing. Good job with your content as always bro.

Just bought 2022 Santa Fe limited 2 months ago. Great SUV!!!

[@Jaysa11]

This Suv deserves n-line trim. That would make the Suv very sporty that matches with quick 0-60 time.

[@rodneysmith1710]

Just got mine in August what a fantastic truck. I have the silver with black leather interior beautiful

[@joejoed5851]

Your touting the All Wheel Drive Model. I agree with one exception. You do not get a spare tire with All Wheel Drive. You do get a spare compact tire with the Front Wheel Drive. You need to mention this flaw when you recommend getting All Wheel Drive. Other channels mention a work around by buying some Kia Parts that allows you to lower a spare tire to the ground. Sounds pretty hoagie to me. I’m currently considering the front wheel drive or moving on.

[@daganr5873]

There is a large size cargo space under the cargo tray that is large enough for a full size spare tire.

[@NileshR12]

This interior color combination is beautiful 😍🔥🥵🤩

[@RC94332]

Great video this car is great. Drove one yesterday after the palisade and I really like it. Especially saving gas, money, and having a faster car!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Agreed man if the 3rd row isn’t a must have, this is an excellent way to go! Good luck with the car!👍🏼🙏🏼

[@bugsysdad3094]

Great video. My only complaint is that you could have zoomed in closer when showing the dashboard and touch screen. It was hard to see any of the detail in this video.

[@aliinarousu]

Dig the vid this needs more views! Love how fast and to the point you are. I test drove one of these last month and fell in love. I originally wanted the Palisade for the bucket seats, but preferred the drive and size of the Santa Fe. The Calligraphy trim and Camel color Nappa Leather is so pleasant on the eyes. I also like the little window near the side mirrors to eliminate the blind spots. Now I need to test the 2022 Kia Sorento bc I still like the idea of the bucket seats..... we will see! Thanks again! ... PS its not navy.. its dark grey/black :)

[@WTFCRLT1]

Glad you like it! The Santa Fe and Sorento are both great options I’m sure you’ll be happy with either choice, so I’d go with whichever you can get the better price.. Lmk what you end up going with!👍🏼

[@cattlovver]

How did you get the headlights to do that? I have the 23 calligraphy AWD stormy sea blue with the beige interior.

[@kiacarens]

I owe this car cost I love it. I love the features very much as it is more or less like those luxury brands. Hyundai.... people always think it's Korea, cheap & not reliable. But Hyundai is evolving towards affordable features! I love this!

[@peterm820]

Why not test and report on the quality OR NOT of the audio systems ??? Thanks. Brilliant video :)

[@lynnharr1277]

Wish reviewers would talk about the PASSENGER seats. That’s as important as the back seats are. Thanks.

[@nycprodigy485]

Great review! I got the2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy without AWD to save a bit on gas and because it's always sunny where I live

[@ChrisCan84]

Just got mine last Wednesday.....absolutely love it, as do my Uber Passengers....very spacious in the back seats and the Panoramic Sunroof have been commented on by almost every rider thus far.

[@sansin6250]

If I want to avoid long term engine/transmission problem, should I get the hybrid or non-hybrid?

[@NileshR12]

I love this color combination 😍🔥🥵🤩

[@FocusLifeChoices]

Going to get this car when I win my settlement! thank you so much for this video! I had a USED 2019 hyundai tucson limited and it was $28k!! I'm like dang I might as well get a brand new car!

[@henrikkoukku2896]

What is new, different in the 2023 model - compared to the 2022 model?. 🤔

[@sansin6250]

Santa Fe Hybrid Limited or the Honda CRV Hybrid Touring as a cross-country road-tripper? Also, which is quieter?

[@thehegt]

The CRV with 1.5L turbo engine is underpowered and the engine makes noise when accelerating
