The Hyundai Santa Fe vs. the Toyota RAV4

Even though the new Hyundai Santa Fe and Toyota RAV4 are more oriented towards families and daily commuters, they're still SUVs and should live up to the sporty performance credentials of its segment. Now, with 203 horsepower, the new Toyota RAV4 offers more standard power than the new Hyundai Santa Fe, but it falls behind on available horsepower when you look to higher range trims. In fact, when properly equipped, the new Hyundai Santa Fe offers up to 281 horsepower, eclipsing the power output of the Toyota RAV4.
If your family has small children in it, you'll be happy to note that the new Hyundai Santa Fe comes standard with stain-resistant cloth upholstery, preventing those inevitable spills of juice or snacks from turning into unsightly upholstery stains. Unfortunately, you won't find stain-resistant cloth upholstery anywhere on the Toyota RAV4's equipment list.
If you're on a longer trip away from Ridgefield, CT, the new Hyundai Santa Fe offers a standard Driver Attention Warning system that helps alert you to excess driving fatigue. You won't find such a feature standard on the new Toyota RAV4.

The Hyundai Santa Fe vs. the Jeep Cherokee

Perhaps one of the best features on the new Hyundai Santa Fe is its rear passenger safe exit assist system. Available on the Hyundai Santa Fe SEL trim, this innovative safety technology prevents rear seat passengers from opening their doors into traffic if the vehicle detects a vehicle approaching from behind. You won't find such equipment featured on the new Jeep Cherokee.
  • Behind the rear seats of the new Hyundai Santa Fe, you'll find space for up to 36.4 cubic-feet of luggage, which is more than enough for everything from groceries to full-size luggage. By comparison, you'll find luggage space quite cramped in the new Jeep Cherokee, with just 24.6 cubic-feet of luggage space behind its rear seats.
  • If you're looking to go further on your fuel budget, the new Hyundai Santa Fe is singularly well-equipped. With an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined, the new Hyundai Santa Fe is markedly more efficient than the new Jeep Cherokee, which returns just an EPA-estimated 22 mpg combined
