Families from Hillsborough, NC will want to choose the new Hyundai Santa Fe if they desire a roomier SUV with more space for cargo and loved ones. The Hyundai Santa Fe claims victory points in legroom, cargo space, passenger volume, and seating - all major SUV categories. The Honda CR-V seats five and has 106 cubic feet passenger volume. The Hyundai Santa Fe offers seating configurations for six and seven passengers across three rows. Exclusive second-row captain's chairs and Nappa leather seating surfaces help the Hyundai Santa Fe stand out. While there is 41 inches of legroom in each row of the Honda CR-V, the Hyundai Santa Fe provides 44 inches of front-row legroom and 42 inches in the middle row while offering 152 cubic feet of passenger volume. Behind the second row of seats in the Hyundai Santa Fe lies 41 cubic feet, topping the Honda CR-V at 39 cubic feet. With a total cargo capacity of 80 cubic feet, the Hyundai Santa Fe gives Graham, NC travelers more room than the Honda CR-V, which checks in at 77 cubic feet.
Performance
The new Hyundai Santa Fe is more powerful and can haul trailers on family vacations. A 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood of the Hyundai Santa Fe produces 277 horsepower and 311 pound-feet of torque, leading to a towing rating of 4,500 pounds. A Honda CR-V can only tow 1,500 pounds, and the turbocharged four-cylinder engine churns out 87 fewer horsepower and a torque rating 132 pound-feet below the Santa Fe. Real Time AWD™ is offered for the Honda CR-V, while select Hyundai Santa Fe models near Greensboro are equipped with HTRAC All-Wheel Drive. Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid models earn 36 miles per gallon combined, compared to 37 miles per gallon for the Honda CR-V Hybrid. But the Honda CR-V only has a 14-gallon fuel tank, compared to 17.7 gallons for the Hyundai Santa Fe. This enables you to drive farther before filling up at Greensboro pumps.
Technology & Safety
A standard 12.3-inch touchscreen for the Hyundai Santa Fe is superior to the 7-inch touchscreen within the Honda CR-V. Wireless phone charging and wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™ compatibility are offered by each SUV, but the Honda CR-V is missing a large digital instrument cluster like the 12.3-inch fully digital gauge cluster offered by the Hyundai Santa Fe. These new SUVs mirror each other in driver-assist technology with the Hyundai SmartSense and Honda Sensing® suites.
