Agree 100% with the conclusion of the video. One of the main reasons I chose to go with the Santa Fe (USA model) was because we felt we were getting better performance and features for the price than the Sorento. Even though the styling of the Sorento was more appealing.

I believe that the Hyundai is more towards global design while Sorento is going for a more US design but overall in my opinion the Hyundai is the one to go because it is more ergonomic, it doesn't have the glossy black and it is a little bit faster.It will be very interesting if Hyundai will come with a fresh new badge design.

We just picked up our 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL with 2.5L engine. We Love it. We’ve had the Explorer, FJ Cruiser, a KIA Sorento, and now the Hyundai. The Hyundai is by far the best of all. We test drove the Mitsubishi Outlander which was pretty in a jewel like way but the Hyundai is tops. My hats off to the Koreans at Hyundai on bringing a well mannered yet affordable luxury SUV to the masses. Ole Gearhead.

Trunk size might be the same but the opening (very important for loading/unloading) is not. The Sorento is much wider. I also like the more masculine line of the Sorento. I also easily prefer the Sorento wireless charging since I have a large 6.9" flagship phone -- with a case. It would never fit in that small slot in the Santa Fe's.

I like the interior of the Kia Sorento much more. Especially the two tone steering wheel make a huge difference. The ventilation in the dashboard of the Santa Fe is identical to the one from the previous model and is outright ugly in my opinion. However, it still would be a tough decision between the two because the Hyundai seems to be the better car overall. And it's incredible how both cars go with only a 1.6L engine and how seamless the transition between gasoline and electric propulsion is. Impressive pieces of technology both makes.

In the US Santa Fe doesn't come with 3rd row. I drove both hybrid Sorento and hybrid Santa Fe. I found that massive center console to be very intrusive into the driver's space. I am 6'1" 240 lbs and I greatly enjoyed the test drive in the Sorento, while I felt cramped in the Santa Fe, my knees had no where to go. The acceleration on the Sorento was better but may be because it had more miles and possibly was more broken in. I also think the Sorento is MUCH more attractive, and I found myself admiring it everytime I walked up to it, where as with the Santa Fe it just felt like walking up to a plain car.
