The mystery button is a fingerprint scanner! It facilitates a valet mode that will secure your personal data. It will also facilitate starting the vehicle without the key fob.

Was about to suggest that, as well. The Genesis has that button on the console. Having used a fingerprint scanner on a laptop, though, I would much prefer one that could be reached by BOTH hands. Having had one hand bandaged made the scanner useless until the opposing finger was encoded.

Your comments are so true and accurate. This is the absolute best rundown with showcasing this new model. One other thing, so many videos are critical of the rear end of the vehicle. I think it’s fine. There is nothing ugly in this vehicle whatsoever. I’d love to hear what ppl say is so ugly about it. The vehicles rear end is very practical. That rear opening is mega practical

No other review can beat this one! I have owned a 2010 SantaFe and currently have 2016 SantaFe. It has always been a very practical option and value for money in its class at least from what I have seen over the last 10+ years. 2024 model is taking to the next level for sure. Well done Hyundai!

That's not true... We haven't seen a single issue with this transmission at our dealership. It's the same transmission as the 21 to 23 Santa Fe turbo, the Santa Cruz turbo and some other models. It's been perfectly fine for reliability. The old 7 speed dry DCt hasn't been spectacular. But those mainly had issues on the 16 to 18 Tucsons.

@mares1829 do you even know how long they have been using the wet DCT? It's been torture tested on the track where Hyundai is winning races with it. Your claims are pretty baseless. Hyundai is the ONLY company that produces every type of transmission, I'll bet you didn't know that either. If you don't like it, that's fine... But then, again, why are you here?

Incredible detail. Thank you. I’m in the US and I bought the Calligraphy hybrid Santa Fe. The car is amazing.

Hi there. I’m in Australia and have a hybrid Santa Fe Calligraphy on order. Currently it’s somewhere in the Pacific Ocean floating over to me. I test drove a hybrid calligraphy and loved the drive so much I ordered one immediately. I’ve tried to watch as many videos as possible to become a bit more familiar with features and controls. Your presentation is by far the best of the best. You covered more than all the other videos put together. When my vehicle finally arrives I’ll have a great head start with familiarisation. Thanks heaps. I’m really appreciative of your efforts.

2 press to unlock. This can be used as a safety feature. From outside, putting fingers into handle twice opens all doors. One time and only driver door opens. Keeping all other doors locked may prevent someone entering car uninvited. Same with the options of door unlock upon park and engine off. We had all doors unlock upon shift to Park. Until I saw another video suggesting not using this, again, for safety reasons. It just means that when I back the car to the house to pick up my wife and shift to Park, I must manually unlock the doors for her to enter. But in a shopping mall, all doors remain locked when shifting to Park or turning off the car. I control when doors are unlocked thusly preventing uninvited entering in public places.

Thank you for you comment... Yeah the reason I don't enable it on this one, is I find it annoying to have to put your hand in the handle twice. On models with a physical button, it's simpler. So for those, I enable two press unlock. Of course, during delivery, I explain everything to the client and see what the wanna do

Nice work! Thanks.

Awesome review!!! I just bought a Santa Fe Caligraphy and I’m trying to figure something out. Is it possible to turn off the lane keep assist and only keep on the audio so that the steering wheel doesn’t try and keep you in your lane… I would prefer to only have the audible warning… Thanks

@edsgarage001

Ай бұрын

I can't recall off the top of my head, but this excerpt from the manual will point you to the setting that turns it off if you want to try it: "With the engine on, select Setup> Vehicle > Driver Assistance > Driving Safety > Lane Safety in the infotainment system to set whether to use each function. If Lane Safety is selected, Lane Keeping Assist automatically assists the driver's steering when lane departure is detected to help prevent the vehicle from moving out of its lane. If Lane Safety is deselected, Lane Keeping Assist turns off."

Thanks for this video . . . you quickly mentioned that the Bluelink navigation could show up traffic conditions, and I think you said police radar - could you confirm the police radar and red light camera warnings? We’ve got so many speed traps in Ottawa now it’s an absolute minefield. I realize it’s never going to be as good as Waze where the community instantly tells you about cops hiding behind trees, but it would be nice to know about those static traps. Thanks in advance.

@edsgarage001

It'll warn of traffic cameras (speed and red light) but it will also navigate around police incidents. But it won't warn of police radar unfortunately. I'd stick to using Waze or Google maps

It does look like a Land Rover, but it's still an awesome design.

Hyundai said they needed to decide if they wanted to add like 10 cm of width to the opening OR make the back end look cooler - and they decide to put all their marbles into the optimization of the shock placement.

Yes, the user accounts do not require passwords. If you're using the fingerprint scanner though you will need the password. But then of course you can just press the fingerprint scanner button so that you don't have to enter the password

I love so much about my 2021, but it's the most unreliable car I have ever owned (over 38 years), and it only has 15,000 miles, so I don't plan to get another one. :( Maybe if they had ditched the DCT...

@edsgarage001 True. Seems like it would have a hard time pulling the extra weight in the new model, but I'd have to drive one. If they bring back the PHEV, it would increase chances for me. However, then we are getting into the same price range as some pretty nice alternatives. The SF fits me perfectly and I love how it drives, but it's on its second transmission now and I didn't think we were going to make it home from our road trip. I see a third tranny in the near future.
