How to choose between the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV vs 2023 Kia Sorento PHEV? Auto123 compares two attractive plug-in SUVs options.
In this day and age when we think of electrified models, South Korea comes to mind pretty quickly. The Hyundai Group’s trio of auto brands, Kia, Hyundai and Genesis, combine for 15 electrified models .
While the Santa Fe catches the eye with its grille, the Kia is a more well-rounded styling package. It gets some nicely chiseled bumpers and side creases, the “tiger nose” grille is well executed, and the overall result is one of muscularity. Here, most notable are the angle of the main 12.3-inch display and many buttons - including those for your gear selector - as well as the drive mode select wheel. It makes for a unique and easy-to-use interface.
The seats look nice and low-profile, but they don’t offer quite the same support as those of the Santa Fe. Safety-wise, all the staples come standard on the PHEV, including forward collision assist, lane-centering, blind spot warning , adaptive cruise control, high beam assist and driver attention warning.
