2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE CALLIGRAPHY AWD | BETTER THAN EXPECTED?!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy presents a significant departure from its predecessor with a bold, boxy design that is polarizing but distinctive. The reviewer highlights the premium Nappa leather interior, available in a striking two-tone green and beige, as a major plus, though notes the absence of a massage seat function, contrary to some expectations. Key features like fingerprint recognition, a dual wireless charging pad, and a UVC sterilization compartment are praised as innovative additions. The reviewer finds the exterior design, particularly the gloss black accents and H-lighting, gives it a 'stormtrooper' look. While the cargo opening is noted as very wide, the third-row legroom is deemed cramped, and the split sunroof is a departure from the previous generation's panoramic design. The reviewer also points out the difference in wheel size between the gas (21-inch) and hybrid (19 or 20-inch) Calligraphy models. Availability is noted as a factor, with lower trims readily available while the Calligraphy and hybrid variants will have a longer wait.
