“That thing looks beautiful, except the rear of the car. What was the design team of Hyundai thinking 😂.”
“I've owned the Calligraphy Hybrid FWD for 6 months now and I can attest the car is fantastic. 35mpg+ in town and a luxury, high tech interior.”
“I just got the calligraphy hybrid and absolutely love it. I've owned hyundai since 2007 and had limited veracruz, santa fe sport turbo, tucson and palisade. But love the hybrid and the total luxury for the price.”
“I hate SUVs but was helping a friend who needs one for family duties and we drove one today. It was VERY impressive to drive. Interior in the top Calligraphy grade super impressive also. Not my kind of car, but hats off to Hyundai.”
“I got one of these because it doesn't look like every other midsize SUV in the price range, and the interior is far superior too. The interior packaging is phenomenal.”
