[@JosephDowski]

Did you take delivery of your Santa Fe? If so, how do you like it? I have a 2022 Limited and love it. I'll admit, I was not a fan initially, of the boxy redesign. However, it's growing on me, and I'll definitely go test drive one when my dealer gets them.

my spouse and i went to the chicago auto show because we wanted to see both cars. going in, we preferred the Sorento because of the exterior design, which we still love. but we ended loving the interior of the Santa Fe and find it's more practical for our needs.

[@chocoholic5645]

That is what most of korean agree and Koreans tend to give more credit on exterior. I will be the one who are more practical^^.

I would go for the Santa Fe the design overall appeals to me.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@MrPerfection93]

This one is tough, they both look awesome and that 2.5l turbo is sweet. I like that the Sorento has less body roll. The Santa Fe interior looks more premium. I dont know, but either way it’s a win.

[@baqermusa8816]

The 2024 Santa Fe might be the best car Hyundai ever made design wise.

@j.p.4199 im not an American and i love it. I don't only mean the looks, but the functionality of design is great.

[@TillThenPlease]

Agreed... It's a bummer that they didn't put that effort into the transmission though. Such a shame to have a beautiful vehicle with a transmission that seems take an immediate nose dive. For some people, it's been within hours of driving it.

[@Tie626]

For us here in Australia I took the sorento GT diesel. It is comes with frequency dampers that give it very damped and well toned ride

[@rickyhawkins]

I have a 2022 Santa Fe XRT & I couldn't be happier with the ride quality. It's not the 2.5L Turbo but with the 8 speed, provides more than enough power to the front wheels & it's so quiet, even with the roof rails. I don't have the panoramic or moon roof which adds to the quietness. If the 2024 Santa Fe is the equivalent, I will definitely choose it over the Sorrento. My 2013 2.0t Santa Fe was the fastest suv but it also didn't have the same stability as my 2022. Thanks for an excellent comparison & I will definitely go with the 2024 Santa Fe but not until 2026. I never buy the first year model change but with the power plant of the 2.5L remaining the same, most likely this 2024 will come with fewer issues than say the Tuscon back in 2016. Full stop! 27 miles & transmission replacement, omg. Can't wait to hear more. So sorry!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

3:25 18inch wheels are better than 20inch because more side wall means better ride and lower tire replacement costs

[@justyoung2]

@CarConfections One thing that was missed in this video is that the 2024 Santa Fe comes standard with the 2.5 L Turbo while you have to get a mid trim level on the Sorento to get this same engine. Lower trim Sorentos get a wimpy non-turbo engine.

[@CarConfections]

That is correct

[@jgs1564]

I don’t think you can go wrong with either the Santa Fe or the Sorrento. They’re both excellent choices and, in my opinion, the final choice comes down to styling (which is subjective) and minor content features for each vehicle. Great comparison review guys!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@stargate25645]

Foldable mirrors should be a scoring item as well. I also think clarifying in the video title itself the models in question would be nice.

[@CarConfections]

Power folding mirrors are available on both in higher specs

[@lilalagomasino3042]

Safety is the most important to me, then space. The fancy interior is all subjective. As long as it tells me the speed, plays my music and helps me to stay hands free I’m good. My top picks would be a Subaru Forester, Rav 4 and Volkswagen Atlas sport

[@gqami]

Guys, i'm dying to know, seeing all these issues with transmissions, and your new Santa Fe, do you have any update yet? It's such a sweet looking car, but i'm freaking out, cause I want a new Santa Fe. Appreciate it.

Great review and a comparison. I assume the exterior look will be the decision when finally choosing one. Women probably will go for Sorento and men for Santa Fe

Guys , you did a great job on this video 👍 I love both of them 😀 on the outside , style-wise , the Sorrento wins , but I'm more of a practical kind of guy , and I love the front and the side view of the Santa Fe , plus , what really wins me over , is the interior space and functionality of the Santa Fe 🤗😁 so for me , my pic is the Santa Fe ☺️😎🙏

Thank you!

I know they are siblings but are they actually on the same platform?? Or is the new Santa Fe a year ahead?

[@justice4You2]

Sorento for me. I want that gear lever control that a Dual Clutch offers... not what's in the Santa Fe. Also... For such a long wheelbase vehicle minimum Anti-Roll is important to me. Most KIA vehicles score high there.

[@nataliealleyne9950]

I own a 2021 Sorento but am thinking of switching for all the reasons you listed but mainly the complimentary maintenance. Come on Kia would it kill you to offer maintenance.

[@bryancrotts6009]

I appreciate this unbiased comparison. I prefer the hybrid powertrain. Both offer an incredible value and features. Both are a sharp design, but my personal pick is the Kia Sorrento. I look to purchase one after the hybrid set up makes it into the new redesign. Great Review, Guys!

[@UrAvgCustomer]

Great video fellas

[@Shafaymustafa12]

I bought Santa fe❤

[@MzKolaPop]

I'm so glad you'll did this comparison - it was definitely needed before I make a purchase. I am NOT a fan of the more box style of Hyundai; however, it seems to rate pretty high in everything else so I may can look pass how exterior looks. I do wish however the Hyundai had the larger sunroof AND the quieter sound level reading. TBH i do not need a 3rd row seat and kind of wish both Kia and Hyundai would not have made these mid-size SUV 3rd row - I may as well purchase the telluride or palisade. Can you do a comparison of those two? Overall Hyundai is definitely 'spacious' and a little less costly and has seemingly better features. Based upon these two models and trim levels I'd have to pick the Hyundai. Thanks, guys, for the comparison and I'll be looking for a side by side like this video for the telluride and palisade. 🙂

[@CarConfections]

We already have a side by side of the Palisade vs. Telluride on the channel! You should be able to find it under the Comparisons Playlist. Hope it helps!

[@jimmykehoe]

Great video guys 👍 want to know if you could do some interior dimensions comparisons 🤔 overall , I think the Santa Fe would be bigger inside 🤔🤔

[@KannanKulandhaivelu]

I just love the design! Someone said, "you can love it or hate it." But I just LOVE the design. Sleek, boxy, modern design that will detract other car owners on the road. I am reminded of that very old Onida TV adv caption in India: "Owners' pride, neighbors envy".

[@warnerpinto7127]

I like the Sorento. I’m just afraid of the dual clutch transmission.

[@oshmedia7765]

would a 2022 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport with 51k miles on for $41k be a better bet?

Yes a reliable car that will last forever. These kia/hyundai are junk. That engine and dct transmission have so much trouble.

[@KevinWilliams-ht7no]

Santa Fe is a winner, love that vehicle.

[@yamaha642]

As a current Palisade owner. If I were to choose and want something a bit smaller, the Santa Fe would win hands down. So much more for the money. A bit more stylish, a 1 decibel level less and fog lamps do not justify an over $1000.00 difference in price. The shift lever makes more sense.

[@acche-rc]

@10:28 "both have third row vents?" Where are the 3rd row vents on the Sorento?? I don't think it has any...

[@johnlegresley4353]

I noticed the site to find new car price quotes works on your vlog, but in actual practice, I just spent several minutes and it keeps saying error, or no dealer in your area or some other problem. You need to work on that.

[@IAcityntv]

I’d go with the Kia. But I’m biased lol I just like their design language much more. Both still great.

[@StevenBonacore]

I bought the Sorento over the Santa Fe...The Santa Fe was smaller than I thought and the passenger side seating was very narrow, I am an average size guy. I was not impressed as all the hype (You Tube Videos) was pushing. I owned a 2021 Santa Fe so I was again excited but again I was disappointed. On the other hand the Sorento to me had more power, got the 2.5 turbo and the fit and finish to me was just right. I also like the Sorento body style over the boxier Santa fe. Again it seems people either love or hate the new Santa Fe. I wont use the word hate as I was not as impressed as I thought I might be. Also its just me and my wife so we do not need a roomier vehicle as the Santa Fe might offer someone.

Hi @CarConfections maybe it's worth comparing the current Hyundai Santa Fe with the Toyota Highlander? Based on available information (I haven't had the chance to check it physically), it seems that the Santa Fe is only 3.5 cm shorter in wheelbase and 1 cm lower than the Highlander. I suspect that the Highlander is longer by about a dozen centimeters, probably due to its slightly larger trunk and its more bulky body compared to the flatter design of the Santa Fe. I wouldn’t be surprised if, in terms of cabin space (excluding the trunk), the Santa Fe might actually fare better, considering the minimal 3.5 cm difference in wheelbase.

[@jcollins2826]

I bought a Santa Fe Hybrid. The Sorrento looks good, but looks like so many other SUVs at first glance. Lexus started the egg shaped concept 20 years ago and most makers are still using the design language,. Hyundai is once again stepping out with a bold look. BTW. What’s the deal with the shifter critique? It’s completely unobtrusive and works great. People are just looking for something to complain about.

Everything about the Santa Fe is top shelf, i remember when I first saw it on the road first, I questioned what was it, who made it then I thought it was an electric car? anyway after seeing it in your video, I have to say the only thing that follows me and this is because I don’t know if I’m gonna buy it or not because of this one thing the shifter. Everything else about the car a great but the shifter is a game changer.
