Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid vs Kia Sorento Hybrid
Do you spend a lot of time on the open road? If so, you’re probably looking for an SUV that can keep up with your active lifestyle. Similar to the endurance you possess during a long hike, the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and the 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid can keep you on the road to adventure with fewer stops in between.
Wondering which hybrid SUV can do it better? Our team at Feldman Hyundai of New Hudson finds out in the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid vs. Kia Sorento Hybrid comparison below. Read to the end to find out which model is perfect for your Farmington, Ann Arbor, or Southfield, MI, travels!
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
REMOTE SMART PARKING ASSIST
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SIZE
Need a vehicle to add pep to your step and help you go the distance? Both the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and the Kia Sorento Hybrid tap into their rugged roots and their 1.6-liter turbo engines to help you go farther than ever before. Plus, with 6-speed automatic transmissions and Drive Mode Select, your ride quality will be smooth even while off the grid.
However, if uncharted adventures bring you to bumpy roads, the Hyundai makes HTRAC All Wheel Drive (AWD) standard. This drivetrain not only makes your ride more dynamic, but it also makes toppling uneven terrain a breeze.
You’ll find front-wheel drive comes standard on the Sorento Hybrid. While you can experience the stability of AWD on the Sorento, you’ll have to upgrade to do so. With that being said, if you desire sure footing on every adventure, the Santa Fe Hybrid is the one for you.
Whether you’re heading to Main Street in Ann Arbor, or biking at Hudson Mills Metropark, standard safety gear is necessary. Both the Hyundai and the Kia also take this idea to heart by equipping impressive safety suites.
In fact, you’ll even find similar systems on either model, such as:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Driver Attention Warning
Both models can even make parking a breeze with their Parking Distance Warning – Reverse systems. However, if you want to feel peak confidence while parking, the Hyundai’s available Remote Smart Parking Assist can lend a hand.
This feature allows you to pull your SUV in or out of a parking spot with just the push of a button. So, whether someone parked too close to you or the only spot available is a tight squeeze, this feature will use intuitive technology to park your SUV like a pro. Unfortunately, the Kia goes without a similar amenity.
When you’re behind the wheel, you want to feel comfortable. Whether you just got done playing tennis with your best friend or you’re coming home from a long day at work, both the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and the Kia Sorento Hybrid will help you create your own personal oasis with their dual automatic temperature control systems.
While both SUVs’ cabins are filled with ergonomic details, the Hyundai takes the cake in this department with these standard features:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay®
- Wireless Android Auto™
- Shift-by-Wire
- 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
- Wireless device charger
Not only do these features create a clutter-free cabin with a futuristic aesthetic, but they also make staying connected to your entertainment and your drive seamless. So, if you’d prefer a cordless car experience with advanced technologies, the Hyundai may be your top choice since the Kia Sorento Hybrid does not make wireless features a top priority.
When you need an SUV that can help you roll with the punches, the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and the 2022 Kia Sorento Hybrid are excellent options to explore. However, thanks to its standard AWD, additional parking assistance, and advanced technologies, we believe the Hyundai is the right vehicle for you.
