2022 HYUNDAI SANTA FE CALLIGRAPHY 2.5T AWD - TEST DRIVE EXPERIENCE

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a detailed test drive experience of the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy AWD. Key highlights include the impressive camera system, particularly the blind spot camera which aids in more than just lane changes, and the strong acceleration from the 2.5T four-cylinder engine, especially at higher RPMs. The dual-clutch transmission is praised for its performance during acceleration but noted for a lurching characteristic during low-speed creeping, such as in drive-thrus. The reviewer found the ride pleasant, quiet, and stable, with good visibility and easy handling. However, a significant drawback identified was the poor performance of the headlights at night, with a low cutoff that limits visibility on curves. The wireless charger's vertical position was also a minor inconvenience for the reviewer's specific phone and case. Despite these points, the overall features, comfortable seats, and push-button shifter are appreciated. The reviewer emphasizes the subjective nature of test drives and encourages viewers to experience the vehicle themselves.
