In this epic showdown, MotorTrend Channel pits the Kia Sorento XPR SX Prestige against the Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy. The Sorento roars onto the scene with power and off-road prowess, but shows room for refinement in its driving dynamics. Meanwhile, the Santa Fe enters with refined engine noise and tight steering, showcasing superior execution in various aspects like suspension and transmission mapping. It's a battle of rugged design versus chiseled sophistication.
The Kia Sorento impresses with its rugged yet modern exterior, featuring distinctive DRL lights and a profile that exudes toughness. Inside, the Sorento offers visually interesting materials, comfortable seating, and an elegant mix of colors. On the other hand, the Hyundai Santa Fe stands out with its attention to detail in design, especially the prominent 'H' theme that sets it apart in the mainstream SUV segment. The Santa Fe's interior is spacious, comfortable, and boasts a well-executed climate and infotainment layout.
Under the hood, the Kia Sorento offers three powertrain options, including a gas-only version, but faces challenges with brakes and transmission refinement. The Santa Fe, on the other hand, excels in ride quality, steering precision, and transmission mapping, providing a more planted feel and overall better execution. It's a clash of titans as these two SUVs battle it out to claim the crown of the best midsize three-row SUV in the market.
