NOTE: There's a mistake in the ownership section of this video. We said Hyundai offers five years of roadside assist, when indeed it is possible to secure 10 years of roadside assistance in Australia.


The Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento are two well established seven-seater SUVs. They both offer a lot for the money, and now more than ever they offer compelling options for those families looking for a seven seat SUV with lots going for it.

The new-generation Sorento launched here late in 2020, bringing a striking design and plenty of intriguing inclusions.

The facelifted Santa Fe also got here late in the year, and also brought more polarising design but also an increased focus on equipment and technology.

In this review Matt Campbell goes through the comparative differences between the Santa Fe and Sorento, and there are plenty of small ones that you mightn't have considered. Prepare yourself for the minutiae!

The models tested here are the 2021 Kia Sorento Sport+ diesel AWD and the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Elite diesel AWD. Both of these SUVs have 2WD petrol alternatives, too. But in this test there were still some interesting differences in the drive experience, given they share the same platform, engine and transmission tech.
