Dorsett Hyundai – Lafayette, IN Drivers — Why the 2026 SANTA FE Calligraphy Feels Like a Sanctuary on Every Trip

When your week asks for family-hauling flexibility and your weekends call for something more special, the 2026 SANTA FE Calligraphy answers with a rare blend of sophistication and substance. This range-topping trim brings a serene interior, confident performance, and advanced assistance that makes driving feel easier in the city and steadier on the interstate. If you split time between school runs, client visits, and quick getaways around Lafayette, IN, the Calligraphy’s thoughtful touches make each mile more rewarding.

Open the door and the difference is immediate. Nappa leather trimmed seating surfaces strike that sweet spot between softness and support, while the driver seat with relaxation function helps your shoulders and lower back recharge during quick breaks. The wide, uncluttered dash frames twin 12.3-inch displays for a cohesive, at-a-glance view of maps, status, and settings. It is a cabin designed to feel calming, not complex.

The Calligraphy’s confidence is not just about comfort. Highway Driving Assist 2 supports lane centering and assists with lane changes on compatible roads, reducing fatigue on the long stretches that connect meetings and family visits. Blind-Spot View Monitor displays a camera feed in the gauge cluster when you signal, and Surround View Monitor stitches together a bird’s-eye perspective to make parking feel second nature. When you return to a tight spot, Remote Smart Parking Assist can guide the vehicle in or out at the touch of a Smart Key button—no more inching and re-angling when space is scarce.

Clever utility adds daily wins. The hands-free smart liftgate with auto open saves you a balancing act when you are loaded up with groceries or team gear. Available dual wireless device charging clears cord clutter while keeping two smartphones powered. The long, tall profile unlocks impressive headroom and legroom across all three rows, and the third row drops flat quickly when cargo takes priority. If you want even more comfort, available second-row captain’s chairs turn the middle row into a pair of first-class seats.

Power matters, and the Calligraphy’s turbocharged engine delivers a responsive, refined character that makes lane changes and highway merges feel easy. For year-round confidence, available HTRAC All Wheel Drive enhances traction in rain and snow and adds a reassuring feel when pavement turns to gravel. It is the kind of composed capability that expands your weekend plans without complicating your weekday routine.

Technology that simplifies—rather than overwhelms—defines the Calligraphy. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration are seamless, and Bluelink+ brings remote convenience without a monthly subscription, so you can lock, unlock, or pre-condition the cabin from your smartphone. Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium enables compatible smartphone access, which is great when another driver needs the vehicle but you are across town.
