2023 Hyundai Santa Fe vs 2023 Kia Sorento
Overview
The 2023 versions of the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Kia Sorento are both fine examples of sport utility vehicle engineering. Take a closer look to see which one comes out on top.
Entertainment
The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe comes with many notable entertainment features and options. Its sound system comes with six speakers that can be upgraded to a set of 12 Harmon/Kardon premium speakers. The upgrade comes with a 10.25-inch infotainment center featuring Clari-Fi music restoration tech, a subwoofer, an external amplifier, Quantum Logic surround sound programming, SiriusXM satellite radio with voice recognition, smart device app mirroring programs, and hands-free Bluetooth. The 2023 Kia Sorento is available with SiriusXM real-time traffic programming and satellite radio but lacks the other more advanced programming of the Santa Fe's system.
Safety
The Santa Fe comes standard with several important safety features, including rear cross-traffic collision avoidance and Smart Cruise Control with stop and go technology that adjusts with the flow of traffic. The Kia Sorento's suite of driver assistance and safety technologies is also robust, but it has a lower safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Authority with four stars compared to the Santa Fe's five-star rating. It is clear that the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe is the best option for music lovers and those who value safety.
Cargo space
The Santa Fe provides more cargo space out of the two options, with 36.4 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row of seats. The Sorento provides a third row of seats, but only 12.6 cubic feet remain when they're in use.
