The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy Is A Formidable Competitor in The Luxury SUV Segment!

[@jaydee5156]

We recently traded our Santa Fe for a Santa Cruz. We love the Santa Cruz, but the Santa Fe will definitely be remembered as one of our favorite cars that we've owned.

[@joewilmot]

I have this car and just bought a second one for my wife. I used the smart park feature once, to test it. My guess is almost no one uses it.

[@AlphaShark]

I would highly doubt it’s commonly used

[@johnfriend862]

I recently bought a 2023 Santa Fe Limited, it doesn't have the AWD, heads-up display or the fancier pleated seats. I had no idea the smart park existed until watching your video. I have to say that even 5 years ago I wouldn't have considered a Hyundai, but they've really stepped up their game. More tech than anything in its class, great power, ride and handling, and the best warranty out there. I paid about $42K for mine with a 10 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and all maintenance. Considering the quality, features and warranty it's a great value. I'm not a fan of FWD vehicles, and this one does torque steer pretty well with the 2.5T, but for a daily driver (my 3/4 ton truck gets about 12 MPG and parks like a battleship) this thing does everything I need it to do. It's amazing how easily it parks in a small space. We'll see how well the DCT transmission holds up.

[@conradscheepers]

Not sure why they use the DCT gearbox , the 8 speed auto is so much better. I have the Santa fe in a 3.5 petrol , 8 speed auto and fwd . Plus 3 rd seats and full size sparewheel.

[@shelleybaker7948]

I just bought this car and I pick it up tomorrow. I’m so excited! Thank you for sharing scripture!! ❤

[@jeremiahalmos2643]

How do you like it so far. We bought one 2023 2.5l sel. Getting it shipped here in a few days.

[@jimsmith8324]

I've owned this vehicle since January. This is not an off roader, but will get you to Home Depot in comfort in poor weather.

[@moomoo9143]

I found the smart park very Convenient when I can't find my car in mall parkings 😂.. When I hear a big Yell, curse or long horn..... Voila!! My car, at last!!😂😂

[@angeleancale26]

Great video, the end made it dynamic though! You're the first person I've ever watched that mentioned Jesus or His Word in a car review. That made my day! Praise you Lord Jesus Christ! I think you sold me on the Santa Fe and I've been debating for so long! God bless you!

[@51andhappy44]

Yes! I LOVE this guy! Great job!!

[@usernamejeannie]

I just bought this car and had it delivered so I didn't recieve much info so I really appreciate this video for info on my new car. COMPLETE BONUS to me that the video was done so well ...AND BY A CHRISTIAN. Love that... and you my borther :)

[@ChrisEggers-z7f]

Love that you finish with scripture!! I have had my 23 Sante Fe Caligrahy for 7 months. It is the best car I have ever owned!!

[@dparis2172]

The buttons on the center console are actually very smartly organized and operation becomes very intuitive almost immediately.

[@wandapeguero7162]

I love to see young Christians. God bless you!

[@manilamartin1001]

[@bigorange1155]

The "reflector" (as you called it) on the rear bumper also contains the rear turn signals.

[@jeffselchow5719]

We just got a Calligraphy, so far we Love it.

[@lynnpomajzl6209]

Bells and whistles would include wireless Apple Car Play. Just found your channel….very informative, also enjoyed hearing such enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your faith as well. 🙏✝️

[@paullarocca7885]

I traded my 2222 Dodge scat pack for the Santa fa caligerfey , because of a back problem, I must have test drove 6 cars, and the santa fa was it for me, very comfortable and it looks and drives great . I dont get the great comments That I got with the 2022 red shaker scat pack but it really is a great car. I on a 1 to 10 it is a 9 and the scat pack is an 7.5 way more comfortable and way more technology, I love it.

[@karanpathak9971]

Test drove this one today. Impressive vehicle

[@DS-ib2dh]

Best review video I've seen. Topping it off with a scripture was very refreshing. Thank you!

[@Mimiclobster]

Could have used it last week as some smart a55 backed up his pickup with hitch so close to the rear end that I couldn't open the hatch. However, because my hands were loaded with groceries, I couldn't reach for my key fob and use Smart Park. ;-( However, I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities to use it as many parking spots are way too close to each other. Shoutout to Costco for the great parking spots.

[@leaddog007007]

I use the Santa Fe Hybrid Limited with Smart Park to park my vehicle in a puddle of water in a parking lot so that other vehicles do not come close to mine. I find if very useful.

[@leaddog007007]

The Smart Park will NOT work if the vehicle is on a slope. The vehicle has to be on a flat surface.

[@robertmartin6957]

Love the videos! Obviously it’s not quite as important with the Santa Fe, but I would love it if you would start listing the towing capacities of the different vehicles. Otherwise, wouldn’t change a thing! A+ work!

[@bruceshadley5967]

I rented an SEL last w/e. Nice ride! Got 29.4 mpg on the hwy! Wish I could afford one!!!

[@too-da-loo]

Interesting that R is at the front and D is rear. I would have thought it would be the other way around.

[@benji9677]

it goes like a normal shifter? almost as if you're moving a traditional shifter to drive ect

[@markgrotto7852]

I bought the same car except in 2021. The buttons were kinda neat back then but as I’ve used them I prefer the old style shifter

[@markdesantis3183]

Please leave the words up a few seconds longer when you correct yourself..... They disappear before we can read it all. (Twice in the beginning of the video) otherwise, great, informative and entertaining vids. Keep it up!

[@JaneGeiger]

I look at 7 different Hyundai Santa Fe's s, I decided to get upper trim level (Limited) with an electric passenger seat, with lower trim levels, they all come with a spare tire but spent more money and you don't get a spare tire and the dealer wants $800.00 for a spare tire and jack. Apple air play does not work wireless on the upper model either.!

[@tonewheel5631]

It’s ‘23, not 23’. Also, rear seat backs recline 20 degrees. A HUGE feature for passenger comfort.

[@YouTubeBinging]

I feel like Smart Park was developed by a group of valet workers 🤣. It does have its use in the cities however, would you want to park in a spot so tight that it required you to use that feature? I would not.

[@gregorysullivan7913]

I sometimes have my small dog teathered on a long leash in the garage. I don’t want to run her over if I want to back it out, so I smart park it. It beats unleashing her and putting her in the car with me. Never thought I would use it, but who knew?

[@51andhappy44]

No, I would not. But it is a sweet feature if you park and find out when you return to your car that the jerk who parked next to you was so close you couldn’t get in the drivers side. And yes, that has happened to me before.

[@keithbarnes9419]

@@51andhappy44 If you ever parked at an Outback Steakhouse you would use the smart park all the time their parking spaces are about a foot narrower than most spots

[@leastcoast5606]

I park mine far away from any other car.

[@zxtenn]

Nice but expensive, i have a 2023 Tuscon SEL AWD with the convenience package, gets 30 mpg strictly highway, handles great with the 19 inch Michelins, no complaints. That turbo with an extra 100 hp compared to mine certainly helps, Blue Link is amazing for the cold or hot weather and it runs for 10 mins not 5 with the key fob. I was just taking a peek at a 2023 limited Sante FE

[@SuperFitness12]

Hyundai and Kia are the best looking cars at the moment!!

[@manilamartin1001]

great review. Also thanks for the prayers. It was a nice surprise.

[@Broozer2021]

[@michelewelisevich8808]

Thank you for the great tour of this vehicle ❤

[@lenak1171]

We use smart park when we need to clean our garage. We get the car out that way and back it up same way.

[@maryarwood8942]

Aww, I just found your channel by chance upon looking for Hyundai Santa Fe reviews. Thank you for your inspirational content. I’ve never seen a video that included scripture reading, and offers to prayer requests. So awesome. I love this vehicle. Not sure if I’ll ever get one, but I am getting reviews and researching it. I do not like the look of the 2024’s at all, too boxy , in my opinion, plus I wouldn’t need a third row seating feature. Do you think someone that is 6’8” would have enough leg and head room in this vehicle? He’s not heavy, just tall. I say that because I know if you are thicker built that would make a difference. I’m hoping to get to actually sit in one and try it out soon. Thanks again for the inspiring video, and not being afraid to declare that you are a Christian.

[@AlphaShark]

Thank you for the comment! I couldn't say for sure if a 6'8" adult could fit, I think the best thing to do is go test drive one to see!

[@lisa.ann.k.26]

Nice review. Wished Hyundai would fix the apple CarPlay with the nav to be wireless.

[@timsul3092]

Great video, loved your witness of Jesus! Question, for about the same money maybe slightly less as this Hyundai, I can get a 2021 Lexus Rx-350 with the V-6. It has approx. 31,000 miles and is covered under Lexus certified used warranty, of course not the same as the Hyundai. That V6 naturally aspirated eng paired with the reg auto 6 speed, (not sure on the speeds?), sounds good to me. What do you think? Thanks for your comments.👍🙏

[@cw4623]

This dude's like a Christian Ryan Reynolds. 😄 Good review, btw! Love the driving impressions part. Would love for that to be longer in future videos. (I agree, it does ride very smoothly/cloud-like.)

[@donaldhenderson3495]

Great video Isaac as always. Does it only have one cup holder for the driver and front passenger? Remain encouraged. Psalm 91.

There are two but you have to uncover the silver lid to get to the front one.

[@Chiroman527]

Alpha Shark, Excellent Video review and appreciate the Bible readings at the end....We All Need that now more than Ever !! Per the DCT tranny, other reviewers have mentioned that the Auto Start /Off engine controls provides very Abrupt /Jerky starts when you are fully stopped and the engine starts after taking your foot off the Brake - due to The Design of the DCT (which has No Torque Converter). Did you detect that? I pesonally like the Vehicle and the Calligraphy Trim gets you that Black front grill. The over Silvered one on the other models are Ugly IMO. Too shinny.

[@AlphaShark]

I did not detect that in my limited time with the car. Thanks for the comment!

[@leastcoast5606]

I use the smart park on my 2023 Santa Fe Calligraphy backing out of my single garage, works great but I do drive in.

[@angelastone2751]

Love the prayer request!!!!!

[@kristenburkett4274]

Okay to much to comment or question with what I wanted to ask. Your a Toyota guy, and I don't know anyone personally thats had them. I've heard many times how good they are. So what do you think would be best out of these three trucks (I think the one is a truck). They are going to be sold as is in a silent auction where I work. I don't know the condition yet. Just the miles, color, and minimum bid. Assuming they are in halfway decent in shape what would be your first and second picks. They are the following... 2002 Dodge Ram 73,682 miles minimum bid $1,750 1992 Dodge 250 (?) 105,712 miles with a bid $3,000 1997 Toyota Tacoma 215,278 miles with a bid of $1,000 It would mainly be a second/backup vehicle and used for hauling wood.

[@AlphaShark]

I'd go 2002 Ram, but it could be a rust bucket. From that bid alone I'd guess it's not in amazing condition. But it would probably go, the Tacoma would be another good bet.

[@tjkim382]

its not automatic transmission. its 8 speed dual clutch t

[@keithbarnes9419]

And when paired with the turbo engine provides that "foot to gas", "gas to foot" quickness.

[@jessevelasquez2549]

Great looking vehicle. Really like it.

[@苏蒂斯]

In any case, in my opinion, it is irresponsible for most family cars to use dual-clutch gearboxes, in order to pursue maximum benefits.

I have a 2023 SF, the above mentioned features like the heads up display are cool options but totally unnecessary. These things I could totally live without, all these gadgets increase the price. I would rather save the money!

The front headlight the way its looks just not matching the body

[@jameswalsh5023]

That's a lot of chips and servo motors to go bad over time. All they want to sell you is the most expensive top end models with lots of bells and whistles you don't really need. And have they fixed the whole engine catching fire and destroying the vehicle thing?

[@bigorange1155]

That was not with this engine.

[@SyrupCanuck]

You are showing your ignorance. This motor came from Genesis vehicles. It's proven. The issue motor was the 2.4l. This latest version is a great vehicle with good quality.
