      I really like it more then the previous generation Raiti. For me, a few minor tweaks to the back it would have been a slam dunk for me. I like how they thought outside the box...........well......not exactly what I mean 😏

    I just saw one in person a few hours ago. I was curious to see how it looked... and honestly, I really like it. In person, it is way better looking than expected. I think that the rear works better with the darker taillights on the other trims. It blends way better.

    We just bought the calligraphy, they just started showing up in KY. We have to buy 2 three-row SUVs and the price point with the features made it an easy option. $50,000 with all the features and options was an easy decision. Looking at the TX 500h f sport or the grand highlander platinum hybrid max as the other vehicle. Considered a telluride over the Santa Fe calligraphy but the Santa Fe got our money.
    Coming from a Durango owner its interior is premium. We wanted another Durango but we haven’t had anything but trouble out of it and our RAM.

      Lifter tick, electrical problems from sunroof drain getting clogged, heater line rubs and created an antifreeze leak. All problems that seem to be reoccurring with it. 2017 R/T. Don’t get me wrong absolutely loved driving it and we still considered an SRT this time around. But had to move on. My RAM with the same engine hasn’t moved in almost 2 years now because of all the problems. Went with something with a better warranty.
      I still think the Durango is the best looking and it’s the fastest. But I couldn’t put myself in the situation again of having two lawn ornaments.

    Thank you Joe for another amazing review.
    Today I finally saw the 24 Santa Fe in person. I agree 100% with you. That rear throws things off. And the sloop down towards the rear.....yea.....odd looking. The amount of "H" is a bit gimmicky. But overall, I think its an attractive modern SUV which will do well. Looking forward for your review on the Calligraphy (whenever they release it). Thanks again.

    good review, thanks. Retired couple. I have a 20 Santa Fe which I love and would like to move up to a newer ride. Things that are keeping me from this trim level is I don't want or need a third row. My storage now is amazing and I hate to give that up. The other is the Heads up Display which should be mandatory for all cars, because it shares so much information and keeps the driver focused on the road. I also can't get definitive information on which trim levels have the park assist, lane keeper and adaptive stop and go cruise control. I don't want to go into a dealer because ... well we all know what happens when you walk in, lol. Keep up the good work, you help a lot of people stay informed.

    Hey Joe, great review. My son (who is 6'5") and I checked out the Palisade and Santa Fe side by side at our local auto show. Except for the third row legroom, we thought the Santa Fe with its boxy design felt roomier inside than the Palisade. As long as reliability doesn't become a concern, I think Hyundai has a winner here.

      Did you watch car confections video on the 2024 sante fe? They purchased it to make content on it over time and the transmission started acting weird 30 plus miles into their drive home. They took it back to the dealer and they determined it needed a new transmission.

    Also, that top passenger dash storage bin comes with a UV sanitizer feature on the Limited and Calligraphy trims. No doubt it would easily sanitize a package of Twinkies in just 10 minutes.

The tailgate is different, again the off sets would be the widest ta8lgate in its class. Wiper is hidden. The car confection Brothers did a night viewing to ( pun intended ) highlight the lighting. Headlights were good & the tailgate was impressive when it opens the tailgate has some bright lights & the below deck leds really shine. So better safety @ night. Enjoy your reviews.

    Awesome content as always and appreciate your “adult type” jokes sprinkled in.
    Just a little constructive criticism, on your drive, a better camera angle showing you or the road would be more engaging/enjoyable.

    Raiti I had to come back to this review 😅 They are killing this car saying it's the Hyundai Flex now 😩......I've been saying on your channel for years Hyundai and Genesis uses Ford and Lincoln for inspiration to gain American noticeability. And I don't want a watered down version of a American Suv mixed with a Nissan Pathfinder lol

    Hyundai nailed the interior probably better than a good majority of the luxury brands……..This definitely looks more premium than any of the Lexus offerings which are at least $10K more.
    The rear spoils the aesthetic of the vehicle much like the droopy rear end of the Genesis GV80.
    This trend of these curved long screens with no shading over the drivers information is just ridiculous.
    But for everyday utility I think the Honda wins especially with V6 over the turbo 4.

    Great bang for the buck in a large SUV for only around $44k and has respectable power and good MPG's, hard to put a big zonk on a vehicle like this at the price but i'm not a fan of the cladding around the wheel wells, should be painted in the upper trim levels IMO. This over a Honda Pilot for sure for me. ------ Joe, I read that mid row air vents are at the floor of the center console because of the center console storage box like the one you opened.

      The Defender doesn't have a power tailgate either, so there's that logic of reasoning why they have to slope the roof.
