Driver Camera

If you like being annoyed by driver messages because your hand is at 12 oclock position, or not being able to use cruise control while wearing sunglasses, or getting messages and cruise control turning off because you looked left or right then buy this car. Hyundai has gone overboard with this camera that watches the drivers eyes. Dealer won't tell you about it and if you don't use sunglasses or cruise when test driving you will never know. Now it's too late to trade in car because you will have lost too much.

I’ve been driving my new car for over two months now, and I’m absolutely loving it! The style and comfort are top-notch, and the navigation, controls, and clusters are all great. The only thing I’d say is that the sound system could be a bit better. For the price, I expected a premium audio system, but it’s just not as good as my previous car with a normal sound system. The seats are super comfortable, and for a long ride, it feels great. Overall, I’m really happy with my new car!

Calligraphy Hybrid fan

We checked out a lot of the competition and the style, interior quality, ride quality and warranty was head and shoulders above the rest. We are very happy with currently averaging 34 mpg and even happier with the quiet ride. The drivers attention warning is a little aggressive during highway drive assist, but not unbearable. We originally were going to wait for the new Palisade, but very happy with our choice. We hope it will be as reliable as the other Hyundai vehicles we’ve owned in the past. So far it has been an incredible vehicle.

Exterior Design of this SUV took a bit to get used too, but I’m liking it more every day! Will wrap the roof, rear spoiler and side roof line gloss black to match the gloss black lower fenders/doors. Interior is super comfortable, surprisingly clean and responsive touch display. Wireless Apple car play with two wireless chargers for front seat passengers. I have the 2025 Santa Fe AWD Calligraphy Hybrid - Hampton Grey, have put 650 miles on it in two weeks, no issues thus far. This is my first hybrid and I’ve not yet reached the estimated gas mileage ~25mpg in mixed highway / city driving. Highly recommended!
