Compare the Santa Fe to Competing SUVs

 

What sets the new Hyundai Santa Fe apart from its many competitors?

The new Hyundai Santa Fe is a five-passenger SUV that's long been one of the premier attractions of our Stamford, CT Hyundai showroom. However, with so many new SUVs for sale around the greater Greenwich and Port Chester, NY areas, it's only natural to want to compare and contrast your options to find the best fit for your lifestyle. That's why we here at Stamford Hyundai have put together a brief competitor comparison for our new Hyundai Santa Fe to show you how it fares against rivals from Ford, Chevy, and other popular brands.

Santa Fe vs Ford Escape

  • Performance: While the Ford Escape may bill itself as a sporty small SUV, it's performance credentials leave a lot to be desired. With considerably less standard horsepower than the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Ford Escape can feel sluggish and unresponsive, especially when accelerating from a standstill.
  • Turbocharged: The Escape can be upgraded with an available turbocharged 2.0-liter engine, producing up to 250 horsepower. That output pales in comparison to the available 2.5-liter turbocharged engine available for the Hyundai Santa Fe Limited trim, which produces up to 281 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, which should be more than enough to keep drivers throughout Harrison, NY engaged on the open road.
  • Space: With up to 36.5 cubic-feet of luggage space behind its second row, the new Santa Fe has room for everything from coolers and luggage to groceries and gym bags, making it perfect for most small families throughout the greater Norwalk area. By comparison, the new Escape lags slightly behind with just 33.5 cubic-feet of luggage space behind its second row of seats.

Santa Fe Vs Equinox

  • Hybrid Powertrain: There's a lot to love about the new Chevy Equinox, but if there's one way in which this SUV is decidedly lacking, it's in hybrid powertrain options. Put simply, it doesn't have any hybrid powertrain options, making it less appealing for Stamford drivers who want a more efficient way to get around. On the other hand, our new Hyundai Santa Fe can be ha with an exceptional hybrid powertrain, allowing it to achieve up to an EPA-estimated 36 mpg in the city  and 31 mpg on the highway.
  • Safety Features: When it comes to standard safety features, both the Hyundai Santa Fe and Chevy Equinox come with Lane Keeping Assist and Forward Collision Mitigation systems. However, only the Hyundai Santa Fe offers Driver Attention Warning and Adaptive Cruise Control, so it's better for drivers from Harrison, NY who love a good road trip.
  • Trim Options: Both the new Hyundai Santa Fe and Chevy Equinox offer an exceptional array of trims that range from well-equipped entry level options to more premium upper end packages. However, only the new Hyundai Santa Fe offers a rugged trim in the form of the new Hyundai Santa Fe XRT, which offers HTRAC® AWD, roof rail crossbars for mounted cargo carriers or bike and kayak racks, and even XRT side steps. You won't find such equipment on the new Chevy Equinox.
