HORSEPOWER
Both the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Kia Sorento are adventurous family SUVs. They offer plenty of power to tote around the kids and their toys along with the added capability to get everyone to even the most remote destinations. Let’s ride!
Both models come standard with an identical 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. It generates 191 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. If you need more strength, they also offer a 2.5L turbocharged engine that supplies the added oomph of 281 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque.
You’ll also get the crisp shifting of an 8-speed automatic transmission with both models. What’s the difference? The Santa Fe comes with SHIFTRONIC® technology which allows you to override the automatic shifting and take over manually for a more engaging ride.
When the road ahead gets rough, you’ll be glad to have the support of the all-wheel drive system available with both models. Whether on a slick street or a rugged trail, it automatically sends power to the wheels with the best grip to help optimize traction.
Whether you’re flying solo or have the whole squad in tow, a spacious and comfortable SUV is a must. Luckily, both the Santa Fe and the Sorento have plenty of room to spare. Are you packing up for a weekend camping trip or grabbing some groceries on the go? Let’s see which SUV is ready for it all!
