I'm waiting for you guys to compare the Hyundai Kona vs the Cadillac Escalade next!!!
Not a reasonable comparison. Compare the Sante Fe to the standard Highlander, NOT the Grand Highlander. Come on guys!
I’ve only owned Toyotas, but this comparison feels a bit apples-to-oranges. The Grand Highlander isn't really Hyundai’s equivalent of the Santa Fe—the Palisade would be a better match. Also, comparing the Santa Fe’s regular hybrid to the Grand Highlander’s Hybrid Max doesn't quite make sense. A better comparison would be with the Grand Highlander’s standard hybrid powertrain.
For me, the Hyundai Santa Fe is a clear winner. It just looks so good, the tech is great, and I had a chance to test it over the weekend. It’s really practical and usable as a family hauler or weekend getaway car :)
These two are excellent options for those looking for a new family hauler, but they have different strengths. The Grand Highlander Hybrid has an edge in size and performance, while the Santa Fe's stylish interior and value give it serious appeal. Which approach resonates with you more? Let us know in the comments below!
I can't wait for the next video mini Cooper compared to a Lincoln navigator XL
I have a SF Hybrid non awd. im getting 38 to 40 mpg
The reason the someone would prefer the household outlet on the 3rd row (Santa Fe configuration) is a lot of families buy these 3 row SUVs and permanently just fold down the 3rd row. That allows you to open up the back and put a car fridge or some entertainment apparatus there for camping, tailgating, etc.
Missed opportunity. We were waiting for the Santa fe vs Highlander comparison.
This is a helpful video. I'm considering a purchase of one of these two since the third row in the regular highlander seems too impractical.
