I can’t say that it’s the right vehicle for me, but that’s mainly because I would prefer a bit more space for my three kids and car seats - perhaps its bigger sibling, the refreshed Palisade. They scream, I scream, no one’s screaming for ice cream - we all just need a nap.Īfter a pretty great ice cream trip, all that’s left to say is that I thoroughly enjoyed the Santa Fe.
The excitement of the ice cream outing has passed and the world is back to normal. The sugar rush slowly starts to fade, and everyone’s got something to complain about again. If you have kids, you probably know what happens next. It did what it’s supposed to do and stopped before hitting the garage, but my heart can’t handle that type of excitement and anxiety over the thought that I might smash a $50,000 car that doesn’t belong to me. I pressed one and the car started backing up. There are two buttons on the key fob for Remote Start Parking Assist. Quite frankly, it’s an amazing camera, and it’s almost impossible to not park properly. But that’s awesome! On the short drive back home, the kids played “I spy…” and pointed out five different coloured Jeeps - yellow, green, purple, grey, and blue - which was very odd, but also exciting for them.Īs I backed into the driveway, the reverse camera, as well as a bird’s eye view popped up on the screen. The top trim of the Santa Fe isn’t equipped with any kind of entertainment for kids, there are no screens in the back seat, no games or movies.

It’s moments like those that make me remember why I despise technology so much (pretend play is so much more enjoyable and they get to use their imagination), and why it’s so important for us to get out of the house, even if it’s just for an hour to get some ice cream and play in a different setting. They actually played in the trunk for a little while and pretended they were hiding from something outside. The kids quietly ate their ice cream because ice cream has that effect the calm before the sugar storm. It’s a great spot to store toys, extra clothes, emergency diapers and wipes, or tools and whatever else you might prefer to keep handy in your vehicle. And just when we thought the trunk couldn’t get any bigger or better, we found not one, but two hidden storage compartments. The kids sat extremely comfortably in the Hyundai’s trunk (which is also perfect for changing diapers, but don’t worry, I didn’t), and if you’re wondering, I didn’t travel with the open stroller in the trunk I put it back in the garage before we left. There are also options to view radio stations while clicking through, guided lane assistance, and even the actual directions coming from the navigation system.
Obviously, there’s the actual speed, but also updated speed limits that show up, and if you happen to go one teeny-tiny kilometre over the limit, the speed changes from white to orange. Instead of looking in several different areas and at various screens, the HUD shows you all the important things without having to move. As I once described the Palisade’s HUD (which is almost identical to this one), it’s like the perfect summary of a book. The head-up display (HUD) is actually pretty fancy and extremely useful. Then we waited, because I didn’t realize that once you click on your destination, you need to hit another button that shows “Set as Destination,” before your route actually begins to calculate. It’s a short drive to Dairy Queen, but in an effort to try out a few of the many features that the tested top trim - called Ultimate Calligraphy - has, I punched in the directions to the closest Dairy Queen, less than five minutes away.
