Some ups and downs

The car is great, but I’ve been without my car for 2 weeks due to the door opening by itself. Interior damage on door. I would live to have a new car if this isn’t fixable on this car.

No time to read car manual

The radio never stays on the same channel I was listening to when I shut off the car. Sometimes I get in the car after a stop at the store, and the air is blowing - not sure why. It's easy for me to hit a curb when I pull out of a side street, because I can't tell where the curb is. I think it's because the car is tall, and I can't see the pavement. Blue Link keeps telling me my car is unlocked. I'm in the house with the key, so isn't the car supposed to lock? I don't want to complain, but you did ask. I plan to keep this car forever, so I have plenty of time to read the manual - some day!

Technology dies not always work as expected

Car handles well and has many belts and whistles but it keeps dropping the apple play and other connections and require resetting often. It also needs a bit more visibility as often difficult to see other traffic when turning

Wonderful vehicle except for the atrocious city gas mileage.

I love everything about my 2026 Santa Fe Calligraphy except for the absolutely atrocious city gas mileage. I decide not to go with the hybrid due to the reduced power and the advertised and what I thought still reasonable 20 MPG in the city of the traditional 4 cylinder gas engine. The Jeep Cherokee this replaced was a 8 cylinder Hemi beast that got only got 13 MPG. When I saw this Santa Fe was rated for 20 MPG in the city I was super happy. It's unbelievable but I am only getting 12-13 MPG with my new Santa Fe driving around the city. I rarely need to use the freeway so my driving is 90% stop and go city traffic. I ditched my Jeep because I felt bad with it getting such terrible gas milage and here I am now with a brand new car that gets exactly the same MPG or worse and has half the power and capability. If I could go back I would definitely go a different direction with my vehicle choice. Since I can't go back I can at least say everything else is wonderful, much more luxury that my jeep, and great styling except for the rear hatch. I both the extended warranty so if it lasts me the full 10 years without serious issues I think I will end up being happy with it overall.

Overall the vehicle is fine.

I like certain things roomy, inside spacious and the screen is nice. The sensors are an issue. I also don’t like that the maintenance shop has appointments that you have to wait weeks to get.

Great Vehicle

My Hyundai has been great. i do not have any issues at this time with my Santa Fe. I did reach out to the customer service on how to get my wireless pads and charging stations to work and they couldn't resolve the problem. They said return to dealership to see if they could assist. However, I live 1.5 hours away from nearest one and they said go within 30 days of purchase and they didn't answer within the 30 days. So still trying to resolve that issue.

Santa Fe Calligraphy is creative and expressive

The differences in the 2026 model are transforming this from a mid-sized SUV to a full-size one. The additional row of seating and the upgraded amenities are exactly what have been standard in Hyundai vehicles for the past several years.

Overall nice SUV

I have little complaints about the Santa Fe. It rides. I like the interior design. Only few drawbacks I have are the trunk size. Not able to fit much if you dont lay the third row seats down, which is challenging for me because I have a family of 6. My favorite feature is the touch screen dashboard. Would love captain seats for all trims. Its a nice SUV. I like Hyundai and will continue to be a customer if the price is right.
