These two midsize SUVs both offer spacious cabins, althogh, riders may be more comfortable in the Hyundai. It provides additional headroom for the driver and copilot and extra wiggle room for second- and third-row passengers, too. Plus, the Santa Fe supplies more standard power and amenities without having to upgrade. Now, that's refreshing.

Choosing the right SUV comes down to how well it adapts to everyday life, and the Hyundai Santa Fe brings more initial flexibility than the Toyota Crown Signia. With standard seating for seven, three distinct trim levels to match different needs, and advanced safety technology included without an upgrade, the Santa Fe delivers family-focused practicality for the long haul.

As 3-row hybrid SUVs, the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Toyota Highlander Hybrid share plenty in common, but their differences stand out quickly. The Santa Fe leans into everyday convenience with more standard features from the outset, while also being noticeably easier to handle in tight city driving and parking situations thanks to its more compact footprint.

The Hyundai Santa Fe's hybrid powertrain combines a turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor to produce a total of 231 net horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. This setup delivers responsive acceleration and a maximum towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.

Built for Changing Conditions

Being able to go wherever you want is part and parcel of daring drivers and their vehicles. With its mighty powertrain and standard HTRAC™ All-Wheel Drive with multi-terrain control modes (Snow, Mud, Sand), the Hyundai Santa Fe makes it possible to leave the asphalt behind for some off-road adventures.

Combining a 1.6L Turbo 4-cylinder engine with a permanent magnet synchronous motor delivers a combined 231 horsepower, allowing you to go boldly where other SUVs fear to tread. Its powertrain is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth, responsive shifts and efficient power delivery between gas and electric assistance.

Standard Drive Mode Select with Eco, Sport, and My Drive modes adjusts the driving dynamics of your Santa Fe to match changing road conditions and your preferred driving style with ease.

Fuel Efficient and Fully Capable

As a hybrid, the Hyundai Santa Fe earns an estimated 6.9 city/7.0 highway L/100 km rating across every trim level.^* With its 67-litre (17.7-gallon) tank, you'll be able to travel farther distances with fewer stops.

How far can you travel? Go ahead and plan the weekend getaway at the cabin you've been considering. When properly equipped, the Santa Fe can travel up to an estimated 971 kilometres (603 miles) before placing your exploits on hold to refuel.

Want to increase the pleasure quotient even more? Feel free to hook up some recreational toys; the Santa Fe can handle it. When properly equipped, this mighty and muscular Hyundai can tow up to 2,000 pounds.

The Hyundai Santa Fe ensures everyone on board will have the space and the amenities they need, including 1,055 (41.5 inches) and 761 millimetres (30 inches) of legroom in the second and third rows. Standard HVAC vents in both rear rows help maintain consistent cabin comfort for all passengers. No matter where they're seated, occupants can expect a relaxed, well-supported ride.

3 Rows of Convenience

You're the captain of your capers, so you should be treated as such. The strategic integration of standard and available amenities ensures you'll be cozy behind the wheel. Find the perfect seat position with 8-way power-adjustable capabilities, then choose to quickly warm up or cool down thanks to heated and ventilated front seats and heated second-row seats.

The standard dual zone automatic temperature control system enables you and your copilot to set the temperature to your individual preferences. For added comfort, the second and third rows feature roof-mounted air vents to extend that comfort to everyone on board.

The cabin of the Santa Fe is just as versatile as it is flexible. The standard fold-flat third-row seats make it easy to access the third row and accommodate your ever-changing passenger/cargo ratio. Standard passenger capacity is six with second-row Captain's chairs; however, you can opt for a 7-seat configuration instead for your growing family.

Space for Everyone & Everything

The Hyundai Santa Fe features 4,689 litres (165.6 cubic feet) of cabin volume. This space is divided between three rows of seats and the cargo space. So, how is that space distributed, and is there enough room to transport your adventure equipment? Let's take a look. . .

The Santa Fe also comes ready to help when it's time to stow and go. Its standard underfloor storage tray can hold snacks, your hiking apparatus, first aid kit, rain gear, and so much more.

Easily access the cargo hold with the standard proximity-activated smart power liftgate. With the key fob in your purse or pocket, all you have to do is stand within three feet of the vehicle's rear for three seconds and the liftgate will automatically open. This prevents the need to put down objects to open the liftgate.

Yes! Every Santa Fe trim level comes with Hyundai SmartSense™, which includes several confidence-boosting driver-assist features including Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Highway Driving Assist II, and more.
