My wife and I just took delivery of our 2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy last week, this exact same color, same color interior! Fantastic vehicle 👏

[@WTFCRLT1]

Good luck! It’s an awesome car I’m glad you like it 👍🏼

[@franceshunt4300]

Congrats on your new car! Can you please tell me if the Calligraphy has an actual spare tire?

[@59LesPaul]

@Frances Hunt no spare. it has a "tire mobility kit" which I think is some kind of sealant and air pump device? I haven't looked too closely... if it works, I'm not too worried... tons of storage space under the floor though!

[@matthewrosado2025]

Does it have ambient lighting

[@leastcoast5606]

It only requires 87 octane fuel not premium. Another cool feature is the hands free power tail lift, 3 seconds standing behind and will beep and open. At least on my 2023 santa fe calligraphy. Enjoyed the review. Only had mine for a week. Getting it ceramic pro sealed and missing it. Takes 4 days.

[@bsmacelli]

Picked up my 2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy with the two tone interior...that is what made it for me. Has just about all the trim features as the Genesis Premium Select except for the Ergo massaging seats. Very happy and bought it at MSRP.

[@EricXulander]

Where the heck did you get it at MSRP lol 😭 It’s at least +2k over MSRP here in NY and they going like hotcakes with very limited selection

[@fieldssoyars6176]

I have that car but with all wheel drive and in the Hampton Grey. I have had it a year and I love it.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Sounds like a really nice car especially with the AWD! Wish you luck🙏🏼

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan]

One year ago today! Might try to get it bro.

[@NileshR12]

I saw this color combination at the Fort Lauderdale Auto Show last weekend on the Calligraphy trim. I love this trim with this interior color!

[@BadGyrlBren]

Ditto !!!!

[@neidhartmuller7209]

really good review and first one i seen with the coquina beige interior 10/10

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thank you! And yes it’s a really beautiful interior!

[@jeffmcdougall6835]

Bought a white calligraphy a month ago. We love it

[@WTFCRLT1]

Glad you love it good luck with the car!! 🙏🏼

[@lovejyotgill3954]

Probably the car didn't moved at first when clicked the drive button cause it might have auto hand breaks ON. You have to hit accelerator to turn it off (or manually).

[@Seanheery]

Great review bud! 🤙🏽

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thank you!! 👍🏼

[@Gladiator1972]

If you get the HTRAC version, it eliminates the wheel spin.

[@blackbeargear8884]

Awd is pretty much mandatory

[@chinchillin6280]

Okay I’m looking at this car buuuuuut I’m also looking at the BMW X5 Hubrid Plug In too…..and the BMWX3 M40i HELP! Which one should I get

[@youngdrug5927]

[@abackroomswanderer9241]

Really good car beautiful

[@Mimiclobster]

How do these test drives affect the engine break in?

[@MsClara42]

Thank you for all the useful information.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Glad you liked it! 👍🏼

03 June 2022 Will, Thank you for the video reviews that you provide for different vehicles. I appreciate that you make videos for automobile purchasers at different price points. I do have a question that perhaps you could answer. The question may actually be a response that you could pass on to whatever representatives you may know with Hyundai. The question is, why did Hyundai choose to make the rear turn signal / hazard lights a part of the bumper area? As a safety conscious individual, I want my fellow driver on the road to know when I am about to change direction of my vehicle. Whether changing lanes, or turning a corner, the driver behind me needs to be made aware of my intent to change direction or position of my vehicle. The fellow driver being made aware of my intentions, allows that other driver to prepare for my adjustment. Further, those lights on a vehicle also serve as a means of warning when a vehicle is stopped on the side of the road. With those lights being so low on the rear bumper, they will most likely go unnoticed by the driver behind the Hyundai SUV. Any insight you can provide regarding this design will be appreciated, sir. Thank you, again, for utilizing your time and talents to produce helpful, and informative automobile reviews! Wishing you a Good Day, as well, sir! - Darrell

[@fredschacter6799]

do you have good front leg room as a 6 footer, thanks

[@vitusbering6453]

There is no leather on seats. Vinyl imitation only. And no spare tire as well.

[@conradscheepers]

Just bought the 2023 Highlander in Australia with nappa leather and full size spare wheel. And 3.5 v6 petrol. Great engine .

[@partizan4e]

You need something better than the greasy lense of your iPhone, especially when you’re shooting the interior…

[@WTFCRLT1]

It fogs up kinda easily when it’s humid but yeah I wipe it every 5 min or so now bc like you said it looks pretty bad if I don’t.

[@Mimiclobster]

Too much mic wind
