Kia Sorento Outperforms the Hyundai Santa Fe
When putting the Kia Sorento head-to-head with the Hyundai Santa Fe, it's obvious that with the Sorento, possibilities are endless. From Standard 3-row seating to smarter cargo loading and Bose premium audio system, this SUV has everything you need; whether you are getting around to complete daily errands or loading up the family for a road trip, the Kia Sorento will keep your passengers comfortable and entertained.
Additional features:
- Remote Start Climate Control
- Voice Assistant
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist technologies
- Blind Spot Assistance
- 360 Surround View Monitor
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- 8-Speed Auto Transmission
- One-Touch Sliding & Folding 2nd-Row Seats
- Auto Emergency Braking Technology w/ Pedestrian Detection and much more!
Now the Santa Fe, though capable, does not quite match up to the spacious interior of Sorento. The Santa Fe does have some nice features that come standard such as Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA), Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, and other features listed below:
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)
- Rear View Monitor (RVM) with parking guidance
- Adjustable front-seat shoulder belt anchors
- Power window lock-out button
- Hillstart Assist Control (HAC)
- Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
If you're looking to take on carpool duties or plan an out-of-state trip with your family, the Hyundai Santa Fe won't provide the needed space and amenities to keep everyone comfortable that the Kia Sorento will.
Performance and Engine Features Comparison
When we talk about performance, both the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe offer a lot of power. The Sorento's default engine is a lively 2.5-liter four-cylinder that delivers impressive power while keeping fuel consumption in check. If you're looking for even more power, the available 3.5-liter V6 engine will satisfy your craving for an exhilarating driving experience.
Meanwhile, the Hyundai Santa Fe comes with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine as standard and a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine as an option. Although the Santa Fe engines perform satisfactorily, they are not as impressive as the Sorento's dynamic powertrain choices.
