Both models are stylish SUVs with several powertrain options, a lot of modern technology, and a robust list of safety and driver assistance features. They have similar starting prices that make them affordable options for many buyers and their fuel economy makes the cost of ownership more manageable. Simply put, these vehicles have a lot to offer. But which one should you pick? Lets take a closer look at their features and capabilities to help you decide.
The Hyundai Santa Fe has a posh interior design with flowing lines that stretch across the dashboard to the center console. The cabin is filled with soft-touch materials and quality upholster, and it is constructed with noise-canceling in mind. So, there is minimal road and wind noise. The cabin can seat up to five occupants with ample head and legroom that allows adult passengers to stretch and ride in comfort. There are 36.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 72.1 cubic feet of total cargo space when the rear seats are folded.
Similarly, the Kia Sorento has a lush interior design with quality materials. There is seating for six to seven passengers. The front two rows have enough room for adults to ride comfortably but the rear seat is only suitable for children. There is a dearth of cargo space behind the rear seat which only has 12.6 cubic feet of room. When you fold the rear seats flat that expands to 45 cubic feet of space and with all of the seats folded the Sorento and the Santa Fe have almost the same amount of space.
The 2022 Santa Fe has a standard 8-inch touch screen, USB ports, wireless Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Available is a 10.25-inch touch screen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, navigation, wireless device charging, and a 12-speaker Harmon Kardon stereo. The 2022 Sorento has the same standard features as the Santa Fe.
The 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe packs a lot of standard safety and driver assistance features. Some highlights include:
Although the Sorento offers the same safety features many are not included in the base model and buyers will need to splurge a little to get things like blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and safe exit assist.
