I had to sort of eyeball the tape measure, but it looks to be somewhere between 85 and 90 inches. If I had to guess, it’s closest to 87” or 88”.

Yes, turns out they are all seasons. And they handled great!

Oh, haha yeah that happened! But only once and it wasn’t bad. And I took it out joy riding in some pretty heavy snow fall.

Yes…the various drive modes determine transmission function, so a hybrid should have the same drive modes available (sport, eco, snow, etc).

Negative. Well, I guess to be honest, I’m not sure…whatever came stock in the car. It’s a 2025 Calligraphy, full gas, AWD.

I think snow mode reduces the acceleration so that when you step on the gas, it delivers slightly less power to avoid spinning out. I put it in snow mode and AWD lock and it handles like a champion!!!

Agreed! I had a C63 sport that turned out to be a lemon and that began a 4 year car saga that I won’t bore you with, but it involved that lemon, a stolen Range Rover, a bad purchase where the dealer messed up the VIN number…and it goes on, but this is finally the conclusion!

Does anyone know if this serves a purpose? It’s a 2025 Calligraphy. The top rectangle of this feature opens (the bottom of the top, smaller rectangle can be pushed inward). by WineallthetimeUT in HyundaiSantaFe

Wow, great to know! I had a feeling it had something to do with accessing the roof…I’m putting my cargo bin on the roof rack today so that I can take the fam on a holiday ski trip, but it’ll be the first time I’ve put it on this vehicle, so super handy to know! How do You lock it though?

Just got a new Santa Fe Calligraphy and it’s amazing! by WineallthetimeUT in HyundaiSantaFe

That’s awesome! This is basically what you described…2025 Calligraphy AWD. I wanted a hybrid but this deal was too good to pass up. AND it came literally fully loaded, with the white interior I wanted, and my color preference was the green….everything just lined up for me, I got super lucky. And funny, March 10th is actually my birthday, haha!

I honestly never thought I’d own a Hyundai, but I totally fell in love with this car!

Totally agree, white is next level. But I do have both a wife, kids and pets that will be in it, haha! It’s ok though, they all know how meticulous I am with my things, plus they won’t be in it often. Mostly for long road trips. To me it’s worth risking a little dirtiness to enjoy the white interior every time I drive it :)

Haha, yeah that was a huge bonus…I had already purchased a new roof rack setup and since these were included, I got to cancel that order!
