Hyundai Santa Fe Vs. Kia Sorento
Does family time mean taking in the gorgeous views from nearby national parks across CA? Then, you will need a family vehicle that is capable of taking on the rugged path while delivering a comfortable cabin. Both the new Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento are great options when it comes to this category, but which one should you take home ultimately? The team at Metro Hyundai firmly believes that the Santa Fe has an edge over the Sorento! Find out the details in our new Santa Fe vs. Sorento guide below.

2023 Hyundai Santa Fe vs. Kia Sorento: Interior Space
Besides pricing, the other factor that you should consider when thinking about the Santa Fe vs. Sorento is the interior space.
The Hyundai Santa has two rows of seating while the Kia Sorento has three, which makes sense for big families in Highland. However, if you don’t have a big family, there’s not much reason to justify a three-row SUV. So, you would want a compact model like the Santa Fe to navigate your daily drives and adventures easily! Despite the Hyundai SUV only having two rows, its cabin still has relatively the same amount of passenger space. Here are the specs:
- Head Room (1st/2nd Rows): 41.2/39.0 inches
- Shoulder Room (1st/2nd Rows): 59.1/58.3 inches
- Leg Room (1st/2nd Rows): 44.1/41.7 inches
- Cargo Volume (1st/2nd Rows): 72.1/36.4 cubic feet

- Leg Room (1st/2nd/3rd Rows): 41.4/41.7/29.6 inches
- Cargo Volume (1st/2nd/3rd Rows): 75.5/38.5 – 45.0/12.6 cubic feet

The engine performance and specs are identical in both the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6. However, the newer model gets more range than the other. We can’t wait to test it out on Highland or Yucaipa roads!
More details on trims will come out later, but it looks like the IONIQ 6 offers a worthy successor to the IONIQ 5 in the Hyundai lineup.
