Upholstery choices
The only thing that kept this review at four stars was the fact that the tan upholstery was not available in the top of the line vehicle. It was available in lower trims but not in the Caligula model. One would expect to have everything available at this trim level. The upholstery is very nice in black but I wanted the tan like I had in my previous Santa Fe. I did buy it anyway, in black, but I have never been happy about it.
Other than that, it's a really fine vehicle! It's the perfect size for the wife and I and our little puppies. It has a little more room than my first Santa Fe and handles just as well. It has a few more features that I like, although I was happy with the 2021 V-6 (with tan upholstery).
I wanted to try the Hybrid and was not disappointed. The power is comparable and the fuel milage is a real advantage over the already great V-6. Mechanically, I have had 0 problems with either my V-6 or my Hybrid Santa Fe.
This vehicle is a quality ride! And yet it handles like a sports car when needed. It has as much or more power than most of the competition and still gets good fuel milage. I will look at Hyundai first when I'm ready for a new one, especially if the right interior is available. Keep making quality vehicles Hyundai!
