The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy is more luxurious than a Range Rover or G-Wagon.

She didn't like anything about it.😢 And then she drove it.😂 So she bought it.🎉 Her Jeep needed gas every week. Her SF, every 3 weeks. She even took it back to the dealership, because she thought the gas gauge was broken.😂😂😂 She's on her 5th one since 2001, and has loved every one of them.❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@Cmcdaniel4879]

Good video. Love the Saturday shows out of the studio. Y’all keep it up this channel is one of my favorites. With that being said Hyundai/Kia has had a lot of issues with engine failures. And I mean a lot. Had a friend had his engine replaced under warranty a few weeks back rod bearing failure. When they dropped off their Santa Fe at the dealership they drove around back there was pallets and I mean pallets of blown 4cyl engines that had to be replaced under thankfully warranty.

[@stuartstogdill2406]

That engine issue has been going on for over a decade at this point. They faced a class action lawsuit because of it. Steer far away from any Kia/Hyundai product.

[@jibmaster]

Solid review. Especially since April being a "Non-KZbinr"! I beg to differ ha! Great review. My fiance' has a Black 22' HSE Sport with the Diesel--30mpg, gobs of torque and it is a very nice place to be. It is pushing 80k. So far it hasn't been terrible with the service part. Extended warranty has been paying off. The cliche' is accurate--she sells high end real estate lol! For ballers on a budget--this Hyundai is your ride!

[@sosaix3545]

I'll say it - for those of us who remember when Hyundai debuted in the late 80s, we will always associate them with cheap cars of questionable quality. But, the fact of the matter is that for the past decade or so they've upped their game significantly and now they actually make extremely high quality, darn near luxurious vehicles. Ask someone in their 20s and they'll look at you like you're nuts if you claim Hyundai equals garbage.

[@NO-px2ys]

Its confirmed...April is a big hit. Congrats!

[@s.a.bartley6349]

As a 15 year Hyundai loyal family with the oldest in the fleet rolling 200k miles and just received a new engine under warranty, their price/features is unbeatable, however their service department often misses the mark when it comes to basic maintenance and offering a good customer experience. Would definitely buy over the Rover though!

[@BBPissed]

Glad I watched @WatchJRGo's video on this Hyundai yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't know how that side handle worked 🤓 Also, that "reflective" bar across the front is also a light (learned this from JR's video, too 😉).

[@garys9694]

Hoovie did say it was a light bar.

[@BBPissed]

@@garys9694 April said it, and Tyler "corrected" her. Either way, we saw it in action, along with the proper way to use that side handle, on JR's video.

[@MikeKayK]

No need to spend on the Calligraphy. The 2nd or 3rd trim level up from the base model is where it's at with the Hyundai/Kias as far as best bang for the buck. You get most of the goodies for a much lower price. No one needs stuff like the remote control of the car.

[@patsyypatsyy6458]

The handle behind the rear door up the top on the side is for reaching the roof racks, and its lockable inside the door, yours was locked when you tried to use it. When you open the rear door you will see near the top a little key hole.

[@kerrylewis2581]

I'm not a fan of Hyundai but I like this Santa Fe. Great job bringing this vehicle to another level.

[@jesseinlp]

I agree with Hoovie, Hyundai certainly did hit a home run with this iteration of the Sante Fe! Almost(only almost) tempts me to trade in my Sonata for one. BUT, we don't NEED an SUV, even one as cool as this Santa Fe! Plus, the Sonata has ALMOST the same level of high tech gadgetry(even tho it IS 4 years old now...lol)..

For real. Hyundai is the best manufacturer right now. I have a fleet of cars but the one hyundai we have is my favorite to drive

[@85priesty]

I worked as a Kia/Used Salesperson over a decade ago. The Sportage I sold to myself, due to the over 12 month wait time... It lives in my area again, over 120,000miles for the less developed countries... no issues. While I had it...Landcruiser had a new engine, Audi had 4 gearboxes... They're good cars...they lack character...but you don't want a characterful vehicle to discover it's personality in the middle of nowhere, loaded up... Kia has the 7 year unlimited warranty here...I think Hyundai have matched it now. But it's all down to styling...and the Sportage has a full size Alloy spare still...which is a BIG deal if you're on a trip with a lot of gear...
