We traded in our 2019 Kia forte, for a 2022 Hyundai Santa fe SEL AWD. Were heavily considering the sorrento, but honestly I loved the style of the Santa Fe more, we've already taken our car on 2 road trips, and the Santa Fe does a perfect job in the snow.
We love the Hyundai.
I have a 22 Sante Fe with the 2.5 Turbo. Five months later still totally in love. The narrator on this hit it on the head. Love this car!
Picked up the Santa Fe Hybrid almost a month ago. I have no problems with this vehicle. I dont pull out into traffic so the slight hesitation is not an issue. And if I know I’m driving in an area where I know traffic is bad, I just dial it to sport. No wind noise. No road noise. No hot or cool air inside the interior with the pano roof shade open. The button push gear shift is great instead of the straight up and down in all vehicles. The power in the Santa Fe is a better vehicle to me inside and out and I like the ride better because it feels more luxurious. I drove the Kia and I hate its design inside and out. 😂 Good review though.
I bought the 2022 Sorento X-Line Prestige AWD Turbo. Much prefer it over the Santa Fe. 4 months in and love the Kia.
Just got my wolf grey x-line Prestige last week. I love it everything about it.
SX regular here. I like mine but not the payments.
@@BeeRumblin13 did the dealer charge you a "market adjustment" over the MSRP? All the dealers where I am are tacking on anywhere from $2500 to $6000.
Do you find the driver’s seat comfortable? I’ve hear lots of complaints about the seats being uncomfortable and causing back pain for drivers.
@@chrisdrake3581 No complaints from me about the seats, and I've got an old, tired back. Very comfortable, lots of adjustments.
Sorento looks more muscular, Santa Fe’s front facial is sort of weird to me. I also prefer the Sorento interior, simple streamlined and driver space feels spacious. The Santa Fe driver space feels crowded because of the high positioning of the center console. I test drove Santa Fe first, but the outside look and the inside clutter made me steer away. Now, a Sorento Ex owner, 8000miles later, still love this beauty.
Why did you sold the Sorento?
My dad just got a 2022 Santa Fe plug-in hybrid so far I like it
Every detail about it is right on point
Thanks for the video, what do u think of the kis sorento transmission..is there any problem as some reported them failing...would it hold up..
The cube display is helpful at night to keep essential information displayed but will lower glare. Helpful on long nighttime drives.
I voted with my wallet and purchased a 2022 Kia Sorento X-Line SX Prestige AWD.
Loooks wise the Sorento wins, the interior Santa Fe wins
If you are thinking of getting either of these vehicles test drive them both. Last summer I tested the limited Santa Fe (no calligraphy models in stock locally at the time). I thought this was the car I was going to want, having had several Hyundai vehicles previously and not having a good impression of Kia. The Santa Fe has a high seating position (couldn’t rest my right elbow on the center console while touching steering wheel), a stupidly skinny steering wheel, kind of hard seats, a very bouncy ride that swayed side to side a lot & mushy steering which made it no fun to drive. The final straw was that mess of buttons in the center console. The angle of those buttons and the shiny fake aluminum plastic that is used for those buttons, gives off a glare when the sun hits it. Seriously, test drove around noon and with the sunroof open I had to hold my hand over the buttons to see what they were. And they are all grouped together in one big mess. I hadn’t planned on looking at the Sorento but went to look at one on the off chance I wouldn’t hate it. Every single problem listed above is not a problem with the Kia. It has much tighter suspension and steering, wider and cushier seats, logically placed buttons at a not weird angle. And the styling is more aggressive and fun compared to the bland mom style Santa Fe. Still get compliments today on it. Got the x line in the everlasting gray and same interior as the one in this video.
Having test drove both vehicles, Agee with everything you said!
Bought the 2023 Sante Fe, so comfortable, tons of space, great safety features and the 'mess of buttons' is far more usable than scrolling through a touch screen while driving. By the way I'm a tech guy and design UI's.
I have a Santa Fe calligraphy I drove both vehicles the Sorrento's interior seems like from 20 years ago I love the buttons Within Reach you put it all together to me there's no comparison Santa Fe calligraphy all the way
Thanks for sharing the video, which is quieter?
2022 Sorento SX prestige owner here. Love everything about it. I was looking at the Hyundai first but I wanted the manual shifter in the Sorento. That was a requirement. I am ~3000 miles in and I'm loving everything about it. smooth driving experience and looks very handsome. I get compliments on all the tech it has and the looks. The Hyundai does have an added advantage of complimentary maintenance. My color is the everlasting silver color with black accents and black interior. My only dislike is all the gloss black on the exterior and interior.
wow, love this guy and his honesty - bit dour but good to see
I would go for a Sorento SX Prestige if it had a bench in the second row. I like the rust brown interior color show here & the vents look great to me imo. But because the SX Prestige is only available with captain's chairs that's why I'd go for the Santa Fe Calligraphy trim
Really prefer bench seating as well in the sorento
I have a 2016 Sorento. I’m picking up my teenage daughter’s friends tonight. I’ll need the 7 seats. In Australia Santa Fes also have 7 seats as standard.
GREAT VIDEO LIKE IT
If I had to guess, that off-roady squared off look versus a more refined look, coupled with the differences in chassis tuning, might be a good strategy for Hyundai/Kia going forward. They tried doing something similar with Telluride and Palisade, but unfortunately end up with just kinda ugly instead of refined on the Palisade.
Love your delivery and style. Great job. Only thing driving me crazy? I keep vehicles long so I want all options important to me. My current is a 2010 Venza still going strong. But I want that Sorento matte grey in a hybrid. Not possible. I want wireless Android auto. Bizarrely they don't offer it in high trims but do in low trims. What what what?
I like the unique look of the sante fe but yeah the low turn signals need to be fixed.
Yup, Sorento suspension is stiffer. I like that too! Sportier driving sensation.
Good job 👍
Interesting review. Wouldn’t say it was good and wouldn’t say it was bad. Just like his choice of the Santa Fe or maybe he should have chose the Sorento?
I’ve got the 2022 Sorento SX Prestige I bought for the 3rd in cases I need it and I’ve used it a few times mom has the Santa Fe limited hybrid
Where can you buy the Telluride for the same price as the Sorento?
I read through the majority of the post and I must have missed the comparisons of Gas Milage . I just traded a 2022 KIA Niro for a KIA Sorento with AWD Turbo engine. I love this car, as it is the best equipped car I ever had . My wife drives a 2005 Venza v6 and will not let me trade it , it only has 43,000 miles on it and it is perfect .
What I would like to know is what the average person gets in Milage with the AWD version . I see all kinds of milage showing up on my dash board , but it seems to maintain 33 MPG, both road and highway. Can anyone that has the same configuration tell me their average milage ? This milage is the best I have ever got in any cars I owned . I am curious as to what others are getting , I use my cars for local trips . It does seem to run on EV a great deal . Any suggestions on driving style ?
I believe the Kia Sorrento is more beautiful to my eye. I like the way the lights on the front look and even the lights on the back.
First reviewer I have seen that doesn't knock the dual clutch system in the non-hybrid Sorento. Could they have fixed that with software? Or maybe this reviewer is not paying as much attention to other reviewers who have called that out?
My vote goes to the redesign of the Sorento.
Which one is higher on reliability?
Two weeks into owning Santa Fe Prestige as its called here in the UAE, top line specs. We get a 3.5 V6 option here, AND 7 seats. No idea why it's not available where you are. it's the second Santa Fe we've owned and its my wife's car. Great daily and this new spec is super quiet, comfortable and well appointed. Way nicer than the Sorento, which is still a nice car. Kia/Hyundai group are kicking ass....
Hi. If i may ask how much did it cost here in UAE?
@@ansh201 AED159,999
@@simongarland1177 thanks
AWD is great for accelerating in slippery conditions, but it does not improve rolling traction as I believe you’re describing when talking about the 50:50 torque distribution mode. This is such a common misunderstanding - and dangerous. Nothing like watching the AWD vehicles speeding through snow like they have magical braking and steering powers because all 4 wheels are attached to the motor.
I vote Sorento,love the rugged look but with all the bells and whistles😏
I rented a kia sorento, its really worth the money and its really convenient to have those 2 extra seats than a normal SUV
I love the Santa Fe but I’m gonna wait till they integrate the screen into the dash and they definitely need to move the turn signals up. I will not buy the car the way that it is but if they make those two fixes I’ll buy it. I’ll trade in my current Tucson and go for the hybrid. Come on Hyundai. You’re almost there but you made a couple of really crazy choices.
Someone has experience about the reliability of the 2.2 crdi with DCT8 ?
Just bought the Sorento SX Prestige X-Line and I love everything about it. The looks, the comfort, the way it drives and handles is like no other car I've had. This thing has more options and do dads with an owners manual thicker then any text book. I love the huge sun roof and just the way the car looks.
20" tires are bigger? Aren't 20" wheels bigger while the rubber is narrower?
Kia needs to drop the third row, or give option without. I like Santa Fe’s cargo options below.
It's a color you can't see well in Korea :) It's cool!
I have to agree with many other comments.
And my opinion hasn’t changed since these two new-generation models debuted.
I was always forgiving of the exterior looks one the Santa Fe - primarily because the interior looked very nice.
But without a question I was always partial to the exterior of the Sorento. Very aggressive, sharp, and while still maintaining a relatively level design along other mainstream appearances - very attractive.
One thing that I wish could be done is two just combine the two. Get the exterior of the Sorento with the interior of the Santa Fe. Yes, i know some say it’s too intrusive and up in your face - but the interior of the Sorento sort of has an ugly look to it, what with the vents, all that piano black plastic, and not to mention more capacitive touch controls.
Obviously that will never happen and this is just one person’s opinion.
One thing that made this “competition” much closer with the 2022 model is the fact that they added driver seat memory to the Sorento, which was fully omitted on the 2021 models. This specific feature is key in our next purchase as - if we are going to spend that much money on a vehicle we may as well have the features that add convenience - and with the size difference between myself and my petite wife, it’s worth it to have especially after having it on our Sedan.
But of course with the extreme markups on nearly, if not all, vehicles it could be quite a while before we make the plunge and buy our first SUV.
I prefer the design of the Sorento, Santa Fe needs a total redesign, which is expected in 2023 as a 2024 model. Sorrento may get a small facelift with updated headlights and tail lights, and a large single screen infotainment like on the 2023 telluride. Where I live the Santa Fe is the better deal. All the Kia dealerships are charging $5k-$15k “market adjustment” which is a rip off. Hyundai across the street is selling at msrp so for a super close competitor, the Kia locally loses that value.
I LOVE THE SORENTO!!!!!!!
Riding in a 22 Sante Fe for a work vehicle, I absolutely HATE the center section in the front seat. If I was to get in any type of accident, there is no way to get out of the seat and you are just stuck. My 22 Sorento is also WAAYYY more comfortable, roomy, and just feels like better quality. I prefer the Sorento for daily driving, long trips, but if I was using the vehicle for race/power, I would use the Sante Fe.
13:57 I thought the Santa Fe was named after the city in New Mexico. 🤔
Santa Fe hybrid is a better choice for me. I like the more aerodynamic shape and I prefer the interior. Did not want a rarely used 3rd row of seats. Both are nice looking vehicles. It just comes down to one's needs and preferences.
I can’t understand why Santa Fe’s rear turn signal is so low. Following drivers tend to focus on the mid riff not way down bottom
The Sorento & Santa Fe are both midsize CUVs/ SUVs
In europe they call it SUV while crossover is like suzuki vitara, hyundai kona subaru crosstrek xv, kia niro.
I hear that the engine the Sorento has bursts into flames out of nowhere. Is that true or is it a myth? Is that engine reliable?
Santa Fe used to have a three-row option.
The Sorento does have a Remote Paring Assist!
Comparing a hybrid with a non-hybrid? Come on...apples to organges, especially in how they drive! Or do the complaints the reviewer has about the hybrid SF engine also apply to the Sorento hybrid? Argh....the way he described the disconnect between pedal push and acceleration in the hybrid would be a deal killer for me...but no idea if Sorento hybrid does this as well.
I think the Sorento looks better and more modern inside and out. Its design is sharp and sleek unlike the Santa Fe which has aged poorly in my eyes.
I had one as a loaner for a month and a half while my Optima was in the shop and it's one of the most uncomfortable vehicles I've been in, with unrefined driver's assistance features. It was quiet and rode well though
Which model year was the Santa fe?
@@zhiyako4032 2021. However it was the mid trim, not the calligraphy. Perhaps the calligraphy has better seats, but I definitely found the Sorento to have more comfortable seats for my body. The Santa fe had a few pressure points throughout the seat
What Korean. Santa fe is made in US . I don't know about Sorento
like the Santa Fe rims are cool price sends me away
too many piano plastics in sorento, santa fe wins
Telluride isn't the same price as the Sorento
Nothing puts me off more than hearing PHEV
I agree having the indicators lights on the bumpers in some Kia and Hyundai models is a very bad design !!!
I agree, the low down turn signals are downright dangerous and should go away for safety's sake. We own two S-Fs and like everything about them except for the stupid directional placement...
I bought the Santa Fe 2.2 litre turbo diesel 7 seater Highlander fully loaded. That’s what you get in Australia for the top of the line vehicles. It edges out the Sorrento. Just more refined and some better features.
We opted for the Santa Fe because the Sorento has captains chairs in the middle and no option to get rid of them for a split bench, also no option to get rid of the near useless third row seating. That was a terrible mistake by KIA!
Sorrento for me.
Santafe is more royal and stylish
And one more thing...who the hell was comming up wit RED turning signals ? And why was approved by all America ?
Vote Sorento
NO Sorento doesn’t cost same as Telluride.
I think he meant the trim of the Sorento being more expensive than a lower trim Telluride.
HA! Yeah, obviously these reviewers are not ACTUALLY looking at the market right now. I have yet to see any review sites (and I have read them all it feels like) talk about ACTUAL pricing, demand, dealer markups, relative to these vehiclesm which makes a massive difference (unless money is no obejct of course). And it's not like these issues started a month ago....the popularity of the Telluride has driven its price up into the $50's...if you actually want to have one sitting in your driveway.
Sorrento needs more towing capacity.
Santa fe
Sorento looks like it has a X wing Fighter on the dashboard, to wierd, to busy.
Sorento rear lights are ugly - definitely prefer Hyundai rears.
I like all the Kia’s better then their Hyundai Cousins
Santa fe wheels give me migraines
I like sorento except for the ugly design of the back side.
The telluride is not even remotely the same price when evenly equipped…………
I must say that the Sorento beats the Sante Fe in exterior looks in nearly every category. The interiors are more of a draw . . . and I really don't like those vents in the dash of the Sorento. Yikes!
So many folks wanna push you up from this category (larger Compact SUV's) to the Teluride and the Palisade. Well, lots of people need nothing that big! Me, I am torn between the Sorento, the new Tucson and the Seltos. I think the Tucson may be the best 'smaller vehicle with the right features', as the Seltos is missing a lot of useful equipment.
Yeah, so many reviews talking about these compared to the Telluride. 1. These people are OBVIOUSLY not ACTUALLY trying to buy a 2022 Telluride in this market. GOOD LUCK. With $12K dealer markups for "market adjustments" bc of all the insane reviews (IF you can even find one). 2. MPG?! No one cares about the horrible gas guzzler that the Telluride is?! I actually could use the space in it, but definitely not buying something that gets that bad gas mileage in 2022 when there are so many hybrid and electric cars available.
Damn I stopd watching when this dude said Santa Fe looks better both outside and inside.
Crossover? These cars are full size SUVs lol
I would take hyundai santafe over kia sorento
It’s not a crossover it’s a SUV
Inches matter apparently - ask any woman lol

Possibly the ugliest front end I’ve ever seen on the Hyundai. Sorrento looks way better in my opinion.
Sante Fe never looked good. Like a balloon. Sorento ftw
Santa fe looks better???? Sorento is boxy???? What lmao dudes got a horrible take.

@@bextar6365 so a bicycle? Yeah your take makes sense now. Lmao.
The rims on the Sante Fe are absolutely hideous.
Really bad personality for… anything, also way too much personality and subjectivity.
I’d rather get the X5M. These two cars lack significant power compared to the X5M.
Nothing is better than Kia. I can design better car than this Hyundai.
