The 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2023 Honda CR-V offer a mix of comfort, technology and power making them ideal prospects for those in the market for a mid-size crossover. Both models come with similar features such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist systems to keep you safe on the road. When it comes to performance, the Santa Fe has a slight edge due to its 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 191 horsepower, while the CR-V’s 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine churns only 190 horsepower. However, if you’re looking for cargo space, the CR-V offers more than the Santa Fe, boasting 75.8 cubic feet of room while the Santa Fe can offer only 71.3 cubic feet.
In terms of value, the Santa Fe is the better choice, offering a decent amount of standard features while the CR-V comes with a price tag that’s slightly more than the Santa Fe. Both models also offer a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. So, it comes down to preferences. If you prefer efficient practicality with plenty of features, the Santa Fe is a great choice, while power-seekers should opt for the CR-V. Whichever you choose, you can’t go wrong.
