2026 Hyundai SANTA FE Calligraphy Overview near North Augusta, SC
As its name implies, the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE Calligraphy is a trim level with high-quality and well-planned designs. If you’re set on purchasing a compact SUV from us at Taylor Hyundai, we simply have to recommend this one. See how it weaves technology, engineering, and its cabin into a vehicle that’s right for your travels in North Augusta, and contact us with any questions.
Performance
A choice awaits those who purchase this trim level of the vehicle, and that is whether you want the standard FWD or available HTRAC AWD format. The latter is better-adapted for driving on Route 78 when it’s raining or going onto dirt roads. In any case, the 2026 SANTA FE Calligraphy is empowered by 277 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque, which is created by the 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine in the front of the vehicle. Another valued portion of the powertrain is the 8-speed automatic transmission, which is responsible for dealing out power quickly and easily. A set of MacPherson struts comprises the front suspension system, while a multi-link feature works on the back, providing smooth rides by dampening the transference of disruptive bumps to the interior.
Interior
The interior of the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE Calligraphy has seating for six, one less than the lower trim levels. That is due to the inclusion of 2nd-row captain’s chairs rather than a bench. Your little ones or carpool partners will get the benefit of the power reclining and tilting seats. In the first row, the driver has an 8-way power-adjustable seat with both heating and ventilation. If you’re taking a lunch break at Maude Edenfield Park, press the one-touch option for the relaxation comfort seat to make it recline for a level of enjoyment other vehicles can’t reproduce. Of course, this model has an integrated memory system to instantly bring back your preferred settings for your chair. We also can’t overlook the opulence of the interior with features like the Nappa leather seating surfaces and the eco-suede microfiber headliner.
Technology
A total of six USB ports are placed throughout the cabin, two in each row. That means every person can recharge their mobile devices without arguing over who needs it most. Your 2026 SANTA FE Calligraphy comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment monitor, and you can utilize the wireless Android Auto™1 and Apple CarPlay®1 compatibility to mirror your preferred musical apps on that display. If you’re on the go and still want to change some settings, the Dynamic Voice Recognition system lets you use your natural tone and words to make and receive calls or put on a different song. There is much more that you can expect from this model, and we’ll be glad to show you at Taylor Hyundai.

Testimonials
Came in to test drive an Elantra and get information....
Great service
“ I had been looking a cars for a few months and received pressure to buy. When I was ready to buy everything was ready on time and paperwork did not take long complete. Overall it was a good buying experience. Ask for Angel Mendez, he will work with you (no matter how long you wait to buy), without any pressure, to get the best value deal to fits you budget. ”
Heavenly customer service from Angel
“ Make sure to ask for Angel! He and his manager went that extra mile to make sure I got the exact model and color I wanted—and “lent me” a brand new model off their lot to use until my new baby ”
Top notch experience
“ I was looking for my first luxury class car (BMW, Audi, Infiniti) when my husband suggested test driving a Genesis. It was love the minute I sat in the G70. Amazing cars, high quality, reasonably priced competitors to the major luxury brands. I wanted a few specific things, a G70 with the 3.3T engine and AWD, with a sport package in Mallorca Blue. Our sales person, Doug, made it happen. We signed papers on Wednesday and they gave me a loaner, a 2019 G70, comparable to the car I was buying. By Friday my car was here on the lot from Charlotte, detailed and ready to go. I could not be happier with my experience at this dealership or the AMAZING car. If you are considering a purchase in the luxury market, I highly recommend test driving one of these cars, they do not disappoint. ”
Great customer service
“ Provided great customer service and The process was made easy and stress free from Kimberly. Left more than satisfied with my new vehicle. Very pleased with my experience there. ”
Thank you Angel for making car shopping so easy.
“ I normally dread car shopping, but Angel and Taylor Hyundia made it smooth and comfortable. Already very please with the sales and service from the last car we purchased at Taylor, it was an easy decision to return as our current elantra hit the high mileage mark. Although it still ran great and looked good, when we got a flyer about their Lifetime Power Train Warranty offer on a new car and we thought we should at least check it. No hassles or pushy sales here. Angel asked what we we looking for, answered all of our questions, let us take our time without any pressure. We found what we wanted and he made the experience easy and stress free. At one point I was uncertain about something, he stopped made sure I was comfortable and fully understood all aspects. Thank you Angel. ”
Good Experience
“ The salesman was very helpful without being pushy. He researched answers to my questions about the vehicle on the spot. Manager committed to some additions to the truck after the sale and he approved costs that were over his original estimate. ”
Great dealership
“ This is my third car from Taylor Hyundai! Angel Mendez is great & I love my new Hyundai!! Very honest & never pushy. Great customer service! Go see him today! ”
First Brand new car!
“ When my car was totaled I was given a 2018 Hyundai Elantra as my rental car and I just loved it so much that I decided to go to Taylor Hyundai to purchase my new car. Kimberly was very helpful and she knew I loved the Elantra and made sure that I drove one of the lot. She’s a great sales lady and overall a nice lady in general! Very great experience! ”
No pressure and a fair price.
“ My wife and I visited Taylor about five times and test drove Santa Fe's on each occasion. Angel was very patient, helpful, and didn't pressure us at all. Didn't even have to do the "my manger would like to meet you" thing....which I HATE doing. When we decided to buy... they gave me a fair price on my trade in without a haggle ($3k more than two other dealerships offered). They also price matched what USAA said I should pay for a "great deal". Easiest car buying experience ever...usually takes me two to three days of pitting two dealerships against each other. This couldn't have gone smoother and I am happy with my purchase. ”
