Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Versus the Competition

The 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid joins the fast-growing midsize hybrid SUV segment. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid, which also has three rows of seats, gets similar fuel economy estimates as the Santa Fe Hybrid and boasts a comfortable, well-built interior.

It isn’t quite as modern or upmarket inside as the Hyundai, but it’s a well-rounded choice that’s worth a look.

If you like the Santa Fe Hybrid but don’t require as much passenger or cargo space, the highly rated Hyundai Tucson Hybrid and its corporate sibling, the Kia Sportage Hybrid, are fine picks.
