Hyundai Santa Fe vs. Honda CR-V

Standard Protection on the Road

With their standard features, your new SUV will help you stay alert, avoid potential frontal collisions, and safely travel within the lines of your lane as well as assist in various other situations. However, the 2022 Santa Fe has some features you won’t find in the CR-V.

One of them is the Driver Attention Warning system, which is helpful both when the kids are packed into the SUV and when you’re heading out on a longer drive to visit relatives. It can make sure you stay focused on the road ahead and know when to take a break.

Parking Stress, Be Gone!

We’ve all been there. We park our car, head to our location, and come out to find someone parked much too close. In the Honda CR-V, it’s up to you to navigate out of this tight squeeze yourself. However, thanks to available Remote Smart Parking Assist, your Hyundai Santa Fe can do it for you.

Built to Keep You Comfortable

While safety is a priority when shopping for a new SUV, the good news is you can also get a ride that you and your kids are sure to enjoy as well. The Hyundai Santa Fe comes with a stylish design—from its sturdy, athletic exterior appeal to its upscale, modern interior that features available quilted Nappa leather seating.

Built for Family Fun

The Hyundai is better equipped for adventurous road trips, whether you head to the lake for the summer or escape for a weekend away in the woods. It offers HTRAC All Wheel Drive, which handles even the toughest terrain with ease. The Honda CR-V offers available All Wheel Drive; however, it’s better suited when the paved roads become slippery rather than the trails.

Plus, the Santa Fe can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped—perfect for those camping trips. At most, the CR-V can tow 1,500 pounds when properly equipped. Also, with wireless smartphone integration, anyone inside the Hyundai Santa Fe can be the DJ for the ride!

The Honda CR-V is more limited in the luxurious options it has, the tech features you can get, and its overall performance capabilities.

Stretch Out in Your SUV

Along with the above features and its versatile capabilities, the Hyundai Santa Fe also makes sure everyone has plenty of room to enjoy a comfortable ride with its 111.5 cubic feet of passenger volume. In comparison, the Honda CR-V has 105.9 cubic feet of passenger volume. With that extra cabin space, you’ll have more room to kick back and relax in the Santa Fe.

Easy Storing and Cleanup

With either SUV, you’ll have a great deal of space in the back to pack luggage, supplies, bags from your shopping trip, and more. Both SUVS equip 60/40 split fold-flat rear seats, which open customizable cargo space for larger and longer items in either SUV.

Let’s say you need to lay items flat across the rear seats, like a cooler, fishing poles, and sandy chairs. The standard stain-resistant seats in the Santa Fe will make cleaning up any sand, water, or other debris from your fishing trip easier. On the other hand, your day of fishing may leave a trace in the CR-V.
