What's the Difference? 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe SE, SEL, Premium, Limited and Calligraphy Comparison

The 2023 Santa Fe has a lot of offer. We start this review with the Santa Fe SE, being that its the base of which every Santa Fe is built. After that we graduate to the SEL version of the Santa Fe with a lot more technology. For those people not to easily satisfied the SEL Premium Santa Fe introduced nicer touches. However once you arrive at the Santa Fe Limited trim level you really start to understand why Hyundai is gaining so much respect from auto journalists world wide. The last version of the 2023 Santa Fe in this review is the top model dubbed the Calligraphy. No matter which of the Santa Fe models you choose, there will definitely be smiles per mile. Enjoy!

Thank You. Excellent reviews, the best so far ✅. You speak slow and firmly enough so I can understand every word you say. At almost age 70, that means a lot. We must purchased a 2023 Limited and we are so happy and Impressed with it. Our daughter who drives a Lexus was also totally I pressed at the quality of our Santa Fe. She said she was glad that we purchased the Santa Fe limited. That Calligraphy sure is nice ✅. Keep up the great work.

Really enjoyed your video, thorough and very informative. This is the best presentation I have seen that delineates the differences between the trims. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Great reviews, I ended up buying a left over 2023 Santa Fe SEL Premium, I wanted the higher trim versions with the Turbo but my wife said we have her 2014 370Z for that and this is the daily driver. I did road test the Turbo model which had more power but felt the transmission was not as smooth as the standard engine, yes its not a lick in your pants feeling but it has no issues with getting on a major hiway plus with the newer cabin these cars are really quite inside compared to the 2019 SEL Plus I traded in cause you don't hear the engine noises growl when you step on it. Smoother ride and when called on it handles around corner better with less lean plus the what I call fake leather seats are far better for support but I kind of feel sometimes the Tech is way over done, I would rather have cooled seats than then Bluelink stuff which is there own version of on star which we never use. The sound system is kick but but no more CD players which is the sign of the times. I made one comment to the salesman on the test drive that this car is like a coffin its so quite, well he didn't get my sarcasms/humor but I said that as a complement cause the only other SUV I test drove was a Lincoln and that to had a nice quite rid which is hard to find these days cause some try and achieve that but never really do that which tells me that engineering at Cooperate Hyundai is listening. I also like the fact when you look at the sticker the car is built here with 50% parts in USA, 40% parts from there motherland and the 10% between USA and Canada so for those looking to at least support our country this has more parts than some USA brands that are made in Mexico and use parts made from China.
Back to your review it was great model by model comparo, Great Stuff!

Miguel, i have been watching you forever. I am a huge Hyundai fan. Heck, my first Hyundai was a 1989 Excel.
I have had all Gen of the Santa Fe and currently have a 2023 Calligraphy.
I love how informative you are with your videos. This kind of review helps folks make car buying decisions. Also, for car enthusiasts, this is entertaining by keeping up with new features and tech.
Continue success, and thank you for what you do. 🎉

Although I would've liked inclusion of other information, like color options, this is the kind of comparison that I want for any given make, model, year, trim level, and options.

how reliable are these things? i just came across it today and kinda impressed

[nealstorman]

You did mention anything about the plug in. Do have a video about it?

[FordEnthusiast]

Good video. Thanks for the info on the different trim levels of the Santa Fe. I have a 2022 Santa Fe XRT and it is a real nice SUV. However, I am waiting for the 2024 to come out as that one looks awesome!
