I had the previous model Santa Fe Highlander (diesel) as my last leaseback vehicle through my work and it was my first Hyundai and I must say it was the best car I have driven (leased) over the past 17 years. My current drive is another manufactures popular Hybrid SUV and to date I cannot get anywhere near the driving range and fuel economy I was achieving in the “Santa Fe”, brilliant car and I look forward to going back to the Santa Fe as my next leaseback vehicle in 2022. Hyundai Santa Fe definitely let’s you Sail away, sail away, sail away.......... go get one you will not be sorry.

Santa Fe looks inside definitely more classy en high quality inside while the Sorento has a much more cheap looking plastic bling-bling appearance as well as more wobbly ventilation shafts , which distract also somewhat. The chairs in the Sante Fe are definitely far more comfortable and support offering. You will feel that on long drives. For my wife these differences were a big thing to favor strongly for the Sante Fe. While riding corners you feel in the Sorento more like sitting on a bench en sliding outwards. Price and driver assist systems are nearly equal as fuel consumption in the hybrid versions is. Because of the more luxury interior appearance and comfort I would go for the Sante Fe. It's has although a more intimidating front which you like of not. The Sorento has a little bit more friendly front. I like that. Advantage of the Sante Fe: the color of the dials in the drivers display clearly shows which driving mode you are in. (sport, eco etc). Matter of personal preference.

Does yours have the remote parking feature where you can use the remote to park in a tight car park space and does yours have a camera mounted below the side mirrors, so when you are driving and change lanes the image is displayed in the instrument binnacle, so you can see any oncoming traffic in the lane you are about to change into?

The 2000kg towing limit on the Sorento is such a dumb oversight by Kia, especially since it's rated to tow 2500kg with the 2.2D everywhere else like NZ and the UK. And clearly, if the Santa Fe can do 2500kg, so can the Sorento. Quite a few popular caravans have tare weights just over 2000kg and towball weights under 200kg that you can't legally tow with the Sorento, even though it would obviously be fine. I'm hoping this is something they either fix with the next model year, or even revise after the fact, because one of these two vehicles we be my next purchase, and I like the look of the Sorento better.

Anyway, I hate it when the bottle holders are "just a little bit too small" to fit most bottles making it useless for your favorite water bottle. You always think, "how hard would it have been for them to make the space just a few mm larger? Just in case anyone doesn't get it, that third row is for small kids or temporary adult use situations. What automakers used to call jump seats. If you have a family or group where you need to carry 6 or 7 people regularly, then you need to move up to something larger like the Telluride, which has a true third row for grownups.

It has a better level of comfort and compliance, though it isn't nearly as peppy as the CX-9, which is a seriously speedy large SUV. The Sorento has a touchscreen for CarPlay, where you have to use a dial/knob in the CX-9 - you get used to it in the Mazda, but it's a lot slower and less intuitive. And if you are buying either for using the third row often, the CX-9 has a slightly better space for occupants despite no vents/fan controls, and it has airbag coverage in the third row, which the Kia doesn't! Hope that helps. Matt

Have compared both and then gone for the Santa Fe. Reason behind is that the interior of the Santa Fe has a much more luxury look then in the Sorento. The massive amount of plastics in piano optic for me are simple unacceptable and look cheap for this price tag. Interesting point on the road behaviour. In Europe the Santa Fe has definitively the stiffer setup. Perhaps the Kia has got the australian trim which was denied to the Santa Fe in its recent edition?

Clearly agree with you, the guy doing the review got it way off and like i said his biases in his review towards the Kia ,maybe Kia promised him a sweat deal for promoting their Sorento😄

Kia all the way, Gtplus line offers even more and the interior is a lot better of the Kia. Ordered it today but I got a 7 month wait time unfortunately.

5.8 to 6 lt per 100 km country driving 2017 Kia Sorrento with 6 speed traditional auto. Australia DCT8 speed should be a bit better on diesel.

I have a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. I went with the Tucson because I wanted AWD. It has been one of the biggest mistakes. The first was getting a Hyundai. They don’t care about their consumers. My car has been blowing headlights- having electrical issues (my auto windows go back down when you roll them up, my rear windshield wipers go off whenever they want, my break light seems to go on and off at random. I have reached out because as a company they should only want the best products out there. I was told that “because my car is over 3 years old. There is nothing they can do for me. To bring it to a dealer and “see what I can get” for it. I owe more than it’s worth because one thing they don’t tell you when you buy a Hyundai is they depreciate way faster than you can make payments to survive. DO NOT BUY A HYUNDAI.
