Great review! I just took delivery of a 2025 Santa Fe Calligraphy 2.5T Turbo gas engine earlier this week. The exterior color is Serenity White pearl and the interior is the same gray as that of the vehicle you reviewed in this video. What’s interesting is the non-hybrid Calligraphy models DO NOT offer the two buttons on the left side of the front passenger seat to adjust the fore/aft movement and the backrest angle. Also, the relaxation seat is only on the driver’s side. Interesting omission by Hyundai. So far, I’m loving the vehicle. Note: I’m coming out of a 2-year lease on a 2023 GV80 2.5T Prestige.
Why didn’t you show us the front passenger seat adjustments? I’ve read that the Calligraphy Hybrid is the ONLY trim that has the Relaxation Seat feature for both driver and passenger seats. Is that true? Does it include a 4-way power lumbar adjustment? No reviewer shows us this!
I just found out Hyundai is considering the Long Range EVs in 2026 with the booster engine for charging the EV battery while mobile. While I think this is backwards thinking it could mean 600 to 800 miles before charging. I'd much rather see an a Hybrid version with a significantly larger battery so we could get 800 miles at 35 to 40 MPG.
I know this isn't Level 3 hands free, but how does the Cruise Control / Stop & Go work in everyday traffic? I was considering getting one to replace my 2017 Niro because I'm in pretty much stop and go traffic most of my 40 to 55 minute commute. Primarily I'm in the same 2 lanes too.

@@FasterThanYoursMC we will see what they decide. Hyundai is very good with tech.
@@ReidsRides777 The article I read was talking about it like it was already in Japan.

Works great, you’d almost think it is hands free level 3. It’s pretty much self driving
@@SpartanJRT3Thanks! I appreciate the reply!
