2027 Hyundai SANTA FE vs Kia Sorento Springfield

Locate a midsize SUV that exceeds expectations at Springfield Hyundai! We have the 2027 Hyundai SANTA FE available at our nearby location, and we have constructed this overview to show how it outdoes competitors like the 2027 Kia Sorento.

Engineering

The Hyundai SANTA FE has been designed with power and capability in mind, which is why it has a standard 2.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine at its heart. This generates 277 horsepower and 311 lb.-ft. of torque, while the standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine in the Kia Sorento only manages to produce 191 horsepower and 181 lb.-ft. of torque. Also, the Kia model has a standard 2,000-lb towing capacity¹, which is easily outdone by the 3,500-lb. standard capacity² of the SANTA FE. Both of these vehicles have available AWD drivetrains to give you more grip on uneven terrain. In addition to this, they have standard 8-speed automatic transmission systems that will make acceleration fun and exciting.

Interior

The robust performance of the 2027 Hyundai SANTA FE is made even more enticing by the comfortable cabin within its doors. This midsize SUV has standard YES Essentials® stain-resistant cloth seats that are easy to clean after a family road trip outside of Springfield. The 2027 Kia Sorento doesn’t offer such a perk. You can even choose from H-Tex® leatherette, leather, or Nappa leather upholstery if you want additional luxury. Also, the Kia model has 143 cubic ft. of passenger volume, while the SANTA FE makes sure all seven travel companions can stretch out with its 152 cubic ft. of passenger space. Do you need room for fishing poles to take to the Delaware River? Then the 79.6 cubic ft. of maximum cargo room³ in the SANTA FE will certainly help, especially when compared to the 75.5 cubic ft. of maximum storage room⁴ in the Kia Sorento.

Exterior

Style and convenience combine to form the exterior of the 2027 SANTA FE. This model has standard 18-inch wheels that give you a standout appearance on I-467, while the Kia Sorento’s 17-inch components simply fall a bit short. In addition to this, the 2027 Kia Sorento has an optional smart power liftgate, but the Hyundai model offers a similar function on its base trim level for no extra charge. It has built-in auto-open and adjustable height settings to make it easy to load and unload cargo. Come see the optional dual-pane moonroof atop the 2027 SANTA FE when you visit Springfield Hyundai.
