Hyundai Santa Fe calligraphy is loaded except for heated mirrors.
This is the first car I have purchased for me as I have always had a company vehicle. I wanted a BMW, but they are expensive to service and run on premium gasoline. I looked at the Toyota Rav 4, while the engine maybe dependable, the extras in the vehicle are lacking especially the comfort. I really like the Hyundai. Is it build with the surround cameras and lane assist-yes it is. I am currently driving a Palisade Comfort as a rental car until my Volvo XC60 company car is available, and I have to say it is nice, but built cheaply. It is a 2023, and plastic pieces are popping off on the outside and some other things that make me think, should I sell my Santa Fe. Until I drove the Palisade, I wouldn’t have considered getting rid of my Santa Fe, because the new Boxy style is not attractive to me. They say it is close to a Range Rover-and I say not true, I drove the defender as my rental that uses premium gasoline and got 14 miles a gallon and was nice, but still not that comfortable. I wouldn’t buy a Tesla, but did ride in ine(Uber) and it was the quietest and smoothest riding car I have ever ridden in. Maybe if they were hybrid. My husband drives a Tacoma and before that a Jeep Wrangler, and a GMC Yukon Denali. And my company cars have mainly been ford Escapes and they are a hard no to buy.
Would I buy a Hyundai again? Yes, maybe. You get a ton of luxury features that don’t cost a ton more and they are reasonably priced. Their resale is not great, so buy it to drive it forever. I hear the electric is nice, but the hybrid versions don’t really offer much mileage additions for the added cost.
What would I like more from the vehicle? Better color choices like the beautiful grays and greens. Hyundai doesn’t change colors often and the choices are not great. Heated mirrors. I wouldn’t buy also like it to parallel park hands free. I wouldn’t buy like them to place the usb ports where drinks don’t spill on them and fry them. But I love that if I someone gets to close to my vehicle, I can have it back out so I can get in it. That is a plus!
Mine is white with tan interior.
I hope this review helps you in your decision making.
