Hyundai Santa Fe SR v Kia Sorento Platinum CRDi head-to-head comparison - Drive

Hyundai Santa Fe SR: From $59,990 plus on-road costs. Value Hyundai: The sporty-biased SR gets matte black 19-inch OZ Racing alloy wheels and Brembo brakes, plus navigation, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, Bluetooth, 10-speaker stereo, heated and ventilated front seats, heated... Kia: Misses the sporty alloys and brakes from the Hyundai but costs $4000 less. It is a match for the Santa Fe with the rest of the equipment. But it does get Kia's latest active safety technology including Active Cruise Control, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Change Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Departure Warning. Inside Hyundai: Has the same slightly edgy design as the rest of the brand's current range. But the Santa Fe lacks the thoughtful touches of the Sorento, such as the lidded compartment with USB port to stow your phone or iPod out of sight. Kia: Design has played a big part in Kia's rise in recent years and the Sorento continues that theme. The interior has a clean, easy-to-use design with good quality and cohesive materials used throughout. It is spacious in the front two rows and the third row seats are adequate for adults. Engine Hyundai: Both cars use the same 2. 2-litre turbo diesel engine. Source: www.drive.com.au
