Slotted between Hyundai’s compact Tucson and large Palisade, the Santa Fe might be overlooked by some shoppers in the fiercely competitive crossover, but the Hyundai Santa Fe has made leaps and bounds in the past 20 years. Hyundai stuffed it with features other automakers have actually started to remove (like physical buttons) and doubled down on making it a competitive crossover. Powering the Santa Fe is a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four making 277 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque, which travels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Hyundai also stuffed its top Calligraphy trim with soft leather and tech creature comforts.
On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren and Patrick Carone both spent time behind the wheel of the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy. Wren takes you along a walk around of the vehicle to highlight its interior and exterior features. Afterward, he puts you in the passenger seat while reviewing the car in real-time. Between segments, the pair talk about their time with the car and elaborate on their thoughts. Closing the show, they discuss what makes the 2021 Santa Fe special.
