Kia Sorento vs Hyundai Santa Fe: Engine & Fuel Efficiency

Kia Sorento PerformanceBefore we dive into how the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe differ and why we enjoy driving them, we'll talk about their shared commonalities-engine type, horsepower, torque, and EPA-estimated fuel economy. Take either vehicle just about anywhere without wondering about where the gas station is located.

Trafficked city streets and long stretches of backroads aren't an issue for the 2019 Sorento or Santa Fe thanks to their well-built 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engines. You'll feel 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque when you press the accelerator pedal and have an even better time knowing that your car gets an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 22 city/29 highway/25 combined MPG.*

Go from Point A to Point B and maybe even Point C on a single tank of gas.

Additionally, storage space in the Kia Sorento is abundant and versatile thanks to two configurable rear rows. You'll get less variability with one rear row in the Hyundai Santa Fe as well as have some difficulty packing that last suitcase in with a slightly smaller cargo area.

Kia Sorento vs Hyundai Santa Fe: Advantageous Seating

We all try to keep a new vehicle spotless for as long as we can-a few months for some of us and years for others. That being said, the Kia Sorento is a family car and kids are messy. Kia took this into account while they were jotting down ideas for the seating in the 2019 Sorento.

Strap the kids in and sit down to find cloth seats treated with YES Essentials®, a fabric treatment to buffer your Sorento from orange juice spills, grease stains, or really anything you can throw at it. Although you won't find the same design touch on the cloth seats in the Hyundai Santa Fe, both crossover SUVs have split-folding rear seats to make transporting a variety of goods easy.
