$50k is pretty hefty for a Hyundai. That is luxury car territory

Just picked up a 23 Calligraphy. It was "used" but the only owner was the original dealer. They had used it as a loaner vehicle. 6500 miles on it for $35400. $11k under sticker.

Bought the 2023 Caligraphy after test driving a number of SUV’s. It was by far the best value for your dollar and in fact I would put up against any of the so called luxury vehicles out there. Have been driving it now for 5 months and it’s an amazing vehicle for the price…it’s like a muscle car in disguise, not to mention the tech is incredible.

This dropped as I'm looking to buy a new 2023. I wasn't quite ready to move off my current Santa Fe last year, and was hoping the new look of the 2024 would follow the design language of the last couple of generations, with a few modern touches. But instead we got a monstrosity, IMO. I've found a couple of '23 Caligraphys at a dealer 130 miles away, but they are still priced at the original factory list. As you stated, there are quite a few low mileage used ones for sale, some under 5K miles (?), for less than 38k, but I was hoping to maybe pick up a new one for close to that.

Great review! I have the 2022 Calligraphy (basically the same vehicle). Great deal! And definitely the best bang for the buck!

Beautiful car. Much nicer and has more features than other brands like BMW. You gotta pay over $60 to get all the stuff that is on this car for an SUV this large. Great value, and that warranty, you just can't beat it

[EricBryant-hm]

We did the exact same thing….and yes after adds for extended service and protection packages the price with tax can exceed $50k . The style inside and out though seemed much more premium to us and we did not need a third row. So we love our 2023 Caligraphy model. Thanks for the video!

I bought a new-on-lot 2023 Santa Fe with $13, 000 off due to Hyundai discount, dealer discount and a conquest trade in bonus. That brought my SEL AWD down to $22.5k. The dealer already had the new 2024 models on lot; but still had about a dozen 2023 models.

I also chose the 23 over the 24 because I didn't want a turbo, a DCT or a panoramic sunroof.

Love my 23 Santa Fe Limited. We have the plug in hybrid version which is a perfect daily driver for my wife’s short daily commute while also being practical for long road trips. Super smooth and quiet ride and great tech. Coming from a 2016 CRV it has been a dream. I do like the styling of the new 2024, but it’s just too big!

[CarsandTechInfo]

The 2024 Limited & Calligraphy models have two separate sunroofs for the first & second row instead of the panoramic sunroof. The second row sunroof is in the middle of the roof of the second & third rows

I have a 2023 Calligraphy (upgraded from a 2013 Ultimate), and love it.
Both the 2024 and 2023 Calligraphy have the same engines. 👍
I dont need a third row or a ton of cargo, so the 2024 just didnt make sense for me.
I do long highway commutes and use the HDA all the time. I have never experienced any issues with it except when passing a construction area where the lines on the ground not clear enough for the cameras.
I agree with you, having physical buttons makes sense for things you use all the time.
And the heads up display is super helpful.
Our local dealer here still have some of these for little below 40K.
At this point they just want to get rid of them.
Thanks for the review. Congrats on your purchase.

I have a 23 calligraphy and love it . I did not want to buy the 24 model because I did not need a third row. Why pay for something I was never going to use.

[kiwiryker]

I’m doing same thing in New Zealand, I’ve ordered the 2023 limited, replacing the 2021 elite I’m driving

[coheneastman]

In Canada they don’t have anymore new 2023s, so we got a used one with 17000km. We were gonna get the 2024 luxury but decided that it was just so hideous and we didn’t need a third row.

[mariorandisi]

I still can't figure out if you're in Canada or the USA regarding prices...US dollars or canadian $ ?

[JayLato]

What was your purchase price before taxes? And what dealership?
