2022 Hyundai Santa Fe vs. 2022 Toyota Highlander

In the market for your next SUV? The Hyundai Santa Fe or Toyota Highlander are both considerable contenders, so it can be hard to choose between the two. Let’s make the decision clear with a close comparison.

Updates for 2022

Every new year brings the opportunity for manufacturers to update their lineup. Hyundai has updated the 2022 Santa Fe’s trim range with the addition of the XRT trim, which features black wheels, a matte black grille, a digital key, power-folding rear seats, and more. On the other hand, Toyota hasn’t made any significant changes to the Highlander for 2022, leaving the SUV largely unchanged since the previous model year.

Passenger Experience

You’ll find quality furnishings in both the Santa Fe and Highlander, even in their starting trims. However, there’s more to passenger comfort than plush upholstery. That’s why the Santa Fe features a particularly airy cabin, and all your passengers can enjoy the abundance of elbow- and legroom. Riders in the Highlander will notice that passenger space decreases as you look from the front to the back, and critics warn that its back row should be reserved for children.

Price

No one wants to overpay for their next vehicle. That’s why the Hyundai Santa Fe presents its well-rounded performance and features at a remarkably low price point for the midsize class. Its starting price is considerably lower than many class rivals, including the Highlander, which asks a price well above the class average. The Santa Fe maintains a lower price even as you compare the higher trims of each model as well.
