The Hyundai Santa Fe is the clear winner for families needing ample space, boasting a significantly larger trunk capacity of 1,036 liters compared to the Sorento's 320 liters, making it ideal for strollers and luggage.
For those who venture off paved roads or seek enhanced traction in diverse conditions, the Kia Sorento with its standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system provides superior capability and confidence over the Santa Fe's Front Wheel Drive.
The Hyundai Santa Fe takes the lead for performance, offering a quicker acceleration of 8 seconds and a higher top speed of 210 km/h, alongside engine options up to 272 hp, outperforming the Sorento's 8.7 seconds and 190 km/h.
The Kia Sorento presents a more attractive proposition for buyers focused on value, with a lower maximum price point of 115,000 AED and a potential for slightly better fuel economy at 8.4 L/100km in its most efficient trim.
