Love it, but the infotainment needs work
I love our new Santa Fe Hybrid Calligraphy, it's so nice to drive and looks great. It's the perfect amount of roomy for our family of 3 with a toddler in a carseat. The one thing that drives me crazy is the infotainment system. I had a 2019 Sonata with a better interface and features. The Sirius integration is terrible, you can't see the song titles or artist in the station list. You actually have to scroll to the channel name to see what's playing. Figuring out which phone is connected or playing sound is frustrating, and switching profiles takes so many buttons when it auto selected the wrong driver profile. I don't understand why the Hyundai interface has gotten significantly worse instead of better. I've owned many Hyundai in Genesis is over the years and this is shockingly bad. I also really hate that the steering wheel is in a bad spot and a strange size, I can't see the gauges or speedometer because the steering wheel blocks it. I don't like that the Lane cameras appear in the dashboard cluster instead of on the infotainment system like the backup cameras. The steering wheel blocks it, and it's not an intuitive spot to look. Even after months I still find myself looking around to find the lane departure cameras to check my blind spots.
It is also manual steering wheel adjustment in the calligraphy package which seems cheap.
