Santa Fe All Day

We absolutely love our Santa Fe. We really didn’t have any expectations about it when we start looking at the vehicle but have learned that the value you get for the price is outstanding. The safety features, electronics, comfort, and overall style are all great. The look is unique to the road and it truly feels like we are driving in luxury.

Luxuriating in a supple, airy SUV that sips gas — I’m in Nirvana!

It’s the first time in my life that I’ve driven a mid- to large-sized feeling SUV (as a former owner of two reliable Ford Escapes and a Ford Explorer XLT) where I’ve been truly blown away by the way our Santa Fe hybrid Calligraphy so seamlessly transits between the gas combustion power of the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and hybrid EV propulsion, which makes for the quietest yet quickly accelerating ride (especially in “stop-n-go” driving situations). In making turns, the steering and handling of the Santa Fe is so easy and smooth, all the while giving the driver a assuring “lane-assist” solid line control on straightaways and into tight curves. It’s also amazing, given the more-than-midsize feel and posture of the three-row Santa Fe how the tight turning radius makes the sometimes daunting prospect of doing a “U-turn” the most effortless and safe maneuver of any large to small vehicle I’ve EVER driven. The overall feel of the suspension of this “luxury-oriented” vehicle makes going over bumps and potholes feel muted, only very slight jiggles and jostling, still leaving the driver feel in composited control of the steering and general road control at all times — tossing in the lane assist and lane-crossing warning technology loaded into the vehicle. Almost needless to say, the combination of the computer-enhanced gas combustion/turbocharged engine and the activation the EV mode cruising, along with the smooth, easy steering and and solid yet supple suspension also makes braking feel instantly responsive, strong yet easy for the foot to compress, even in emergency, quick braking scenarios! Given what appears to be an abundance of computer-assisted, electronic controls and sensors packed into the Santa Fe, there is still a bit of a “learning curve” and intimidation factor in getting a handle on all of “tech goodies” bundled into this luxury vehicle (at an affordable value!) — it’s a good problem for us middle-aged to senior formerly “analog drivers” to absorb over time! Overall, the fit and finish for the Calligraphy trim level of the Santa Fe is as solid as the wood panels on the dashboard and doors. Truly, the Santa Fe Calligraphy’s wide body-contouring “captain chair-style seating” in both the front and back is so incredibly supple that it makes long-distance cruising a purely enjoyable, comfortable experience fo the driver and the passengers. The memory-set adjustable front driver seat makes it easy to obtain comfortable steering wheel and floor pedals distance for the hands and feet, respectively. Line of sight and the panoramic views through the front windshield puts the driver at-ease, along with the beautifully conceived TV display reverse-view cameras for backward driving maneuvering are a reassuring, safe endeavor. There are very few “cons” about the Hyundai Santa Fe, but possibly the most obvious is the absence of space for a spare tire (I’ve seen some open space on the bottom of the rear of the vehicle I’ve seen on YouTube videos). Also, it takes a bit of computer-style proficiency to understand how there is certain engine start and lock/unlock control protocols offered on Hyundai’s Apple app, which is still an amazing remote convenience offering. All in all, the 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy is chocked full of so many luxury and tech goodies that it makes driving (aka “cruising”) the most enjoyable/pleasurable driving experience I’ve ever had in my 50 years of driving cars — totally low blood-pressure road cruising at a budget-worthy, extended warranty assurance I’ve never seen before! Kudos to Hyundai for packing so much JOY in one vehicle, the Santa Fe HEV Calligraphy!

"AWESOME"

Beautiful, Sexxxxxxxxxy, gorgeous white interior, rides like I'm on a cloud. A bit complicated with all the bells and whistles, I refer to the front seats and dash as a cockpit.

excellent car but has factory issues

Love the 2026 Santa Fe. The room and options on it are above any of the other cars we have looked over. We bought the Caligraphy. There are two issues with this car however. the first is that the back hatch protective barrier does NOT keep water out of the back of the vehicle. If you go through a high pressure wash, such as a PDQ car wash, water splashes up the the second row seat if the third row is down, plus there are small puddles. We keep two towels in back for clean up. This is a design flaw. In the first week of owning the car we discovered the problem. The dealership mechanics had to call Hyundai since they never heard of the problem. Hyundai had the dealership test all the rest of the cars in their lot, and each of them had the spray come in from a high power wash. Hyundai told us it was an intrinsic issue and we would have to deal with it on our own. Thanks Hyundai, had I known this I would have never bought the car in the first place. The 2nd issue is with their camera by the steering wheel. It is there to give you alerts that your eyes are not focused on the road. You cannot turn off this feature. With us, alerts keep beeping with messages to watch the road. If you don't do something about it the car thinks something happened to you and automatically slows down and the vehicle stops. The car did this twice on me, both times on the highway. The camera is not accurate and things such as sun glasses or regular glasses can give false readings and alarms go off and the car may shut down. Everything else about the car I love.

Sante Fe 2026 Hybrid

I did downsize to get better gas mileage. I do miss a lot of the frills that my other Sante Fe Calligraphy 2022 had. Gas mileage is great!

Service needed with less then 1,000 miles

Lift gait on my Santa Fe caused the lift to open into a garage door that was closed and scratched the paint. Now the lift gait doesn’t be work at all

roomy and comfortable

The Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy is a roomy and exceptionally comfortable automobile for both driver and passengers. But don't believe the EPA estimates of up to 37 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway (36 mpg combined)

Over All 5 Stars

I will do the Cons first. Over 70 MPH and on hills, gas mileage drops way down. The front seat belt fasteners are hard to reach, which led me to install extensions. The learning curve to understand all the bells and whistles takes some time, but once you get it, the vehicle is a dream to drive. Pros: too many to name. Extremely comfortable on long trips. Performance engine and handling are outstanding. I am 84 years old, and have been driving since I was 15, and never thought I would enjoy a vehicle as much as I (we) are enjoying our Santa Fe.
