    I drive these just about every day as a detailer at a Hyundai dealer. I personally prefer my older Santa Fe to drive but the interior of the new ones is just brilliant, particularly in the six seat configuration with the second row being two captains seats. Just one thing as a detailer with 40 years experience, I’d steer clear of the matte finish. You can’t clean it off with polish. Any scratches or marks cannot be buffed or you lose the matte finish. I’d go for standard paint and save yourself $1000.

    We just bought the Calligraphy in 7 seater layout and absolutely love it. As a family of 5, it is perfect for us. Feels like such a luxury car compared to everything else we test drove. The kids love the space and and the heated seats!

The lane centering with adaptive cruise control is magnificant in stop start traffic, it drives it self. The speed sign detection alarm needs to be switched off as mentioned by Paul but not a big deal to turn it off.

      All new cars have that lane keeping assist and some have even more intrusive systems. Car drivers need a check list before driving off these days, like airline pilots. From seatbelts on to stop-start off to lane keeping assist off, but add ‘checking the surroundings, instruments, tyre pressure and condition and weekly fluid checks’ to the list.

    Thank you!! Looking to upgrade to one of these from my 2019 Holden Trax since we've had a bub and she cooks in the summer.
    Our dealership let us take one for a weekend to see if it fit with our lifestyle. I think the only quarrels we had was that the relax feature is hard to use with a carseat in the back haha! I also found when I drove that the driver monitoring system hardly went off.
    Suprisingly a lot more power than we thought. Even in your podcast you were worried if it'd be sluggish.
    I do wish it wasn't so expensive but that's a me problem and It's definitely worth the price. I have seen that the petrol versions in the states have been having transmission problems but not sure if that will come here since our versions are built in Korea compared to the States being built in Mexico I think (can't remember if in Mexico or built in the states)

    This car is so interesting and so different from previous shapes of Santa Fe... interesting they kept the name for such a different looking vehicle! Initially it looks like a Range Rover mixed with a family van... I love so many components to it, especially the built in privacy blind as a shade for our daughter. We don't particularly like the fussing with the 'automatic safety control' components that you had to do. We should be able to switch them on if we want them on, rather than having to turn them off to not use them - for us such things as lane assist feel more dangerous. I'd be keen to try this vehicle out on a roadtrip around NZ with my family as it looks like fun.

    We test drove one today. We currently own a Land Rover Discovery Sports so wanted to see what it compared like as we are about to trade in and purchase a new car. We are certainly in two minds. The features are great, its comfortable, just nervous if it will hold its value or not. Disappointed about the towing, but i can live with that. Find the square back extremely helpful so it can fit my wheelchair in the back with it wheelchair lift attachment as well. Will have to double check but was told that both sunroofs glass open, where i think he said only the first one opens. Will be making a decision on either another LR or Hyundai next week, so watch this space.

      Tail lights is an opportunity fully used by Hyundai. They are down low and that enables to make nice big hatch that doesn't interfere with the access in any way. 10 points out of 10 to Hyundai from me.
      Also, from the design point of view, horisontal position makes possible to replicate the "H" design language of the headlamps.

    This colour car does not do it justice. In the white it looks smart. Not keen on the H lights, however, inside we loved it, the drive, and interior we have in cream and camouflage green colour option. Superb. We were looking at an SUV. Yes we purchased one.

    Hey Paul & car expert,
    can I ask, where is the 2024 Lexus LBX video, I would like to see it.
    you should also review more Lexus models, e.g. , GX 550 (Australia) andLM500h

    I love it and I would definitely agree with your statement about that level of trim being in a premiumly priced vehicle. With5 kids, The sacrifice with having 3rd row seats is the lack of boot space. Thankfully we don't have to carry a pram anymore but if we are all going shopping I'll have to take a 2nd car for the groceries.

    With the the exterior design, l like that they haven’t gone for the fake headlight design that is seen in a lot of new generation Hyundais, but the rear end design for me lets it down. I say this because it will take awhile to grow on you. Reminds me of the rear end of a truck with that low horizontal light design which is for a purpose, like on pantech trucks.
    Does it have air vents for the middle row, l couldn’t see them?

    The towing aspect and the poor down ball weight is not insignificant, you might not want to tow caravans, but you might want to carry bicycles, chuck a couple of e-bikes on the back with an appropriate carrier and you will be pushing things.

    Honestly what more do you need from a vehicle ? This is loaded, well thought out and very practical but most importantly it is affordable for the masses. It makes other automakers look overpriced.

    put this next to the NA Ford Flex from over 10 years ago and you might be bothered. . . I like it, just the overall profile and proportions are really close to the Flex.
