The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy is a standout SUV that offers great value with few faults.

The exterior styling is uniquely Hyundai, with unconventional headlights and a grille pattern that’s carried across several models in Hyundai’s lineup1. The Santa Fe’s boxy shape is surprisingly aerodynamic.

Under the hood, the Santa Fe Calligraphy is powered by a 2.5L Turbocharged Inline Four engine that delivers 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. It offers a fuel economy of 21/28/24 MPG City/Highway/Combined.

Inside, the cabin feels luxurious with quilted Nappa leather, a faux-suede headliner, and a massive sunroof that makes the interior feel airy and premium. The infotainment system is of high quality and the cargo area is large and well-organized. However, the gear changes from the transmission can be slow.

The Santa Fe Calligraphy handles daily driving well and even managed to handle an unexpected April snowstorm. However, it’s important to be realistic about the kind of adventure you choose to pursue in one.

In conclusion, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy is a great choice if you value a smooth drive. It’s not afraid to try new things, and creative approaches to common problems make it a better SUV, especially in the Calligraphy trim. Not only will you get a comfortable cabin packed with technology, but you’ll also spend less than the average car buyer to get it.
