2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport vs. 2017 Santa Fe

2017 Santa Fe is Roomier While the 2017 Santa Fe Sport Remains More Compact

When you're looking to buy a new Hyundai SUV, there's a lot to expect from both the 2017 Santa Fe and the 2017 Santa Fe Sport. Overall, the Santa Fe Sport is a two-row model that holds up to five passengers, and the Santa Fe is their three-row big business hauler. When choosing between the two models, the important thing to consider is mileage and space. Both are excellent vehicles for large families and weekend adventurers. Find out which one works best for you.

All new for the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Sport are refreshed exteriors, complete with headlights, foglights, taillights, new fascias, and a freshly tailored exhaust. Also new are the wheel size selections for both models from 17 to 19 inches for any trim. As always, the biggest difference between the models is space. Pulling back the extra row in the Santa Fe gives you 80.0 cubic feet of room, while the Sport gives a slightly smaller but still impressive 71.5 cubic feet.

2017 Santa Fe and the 2017 Santa Fe Sport Are Different Under the Hood

Both the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Sport feature three powertrains: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 185-horsepower, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, and finally a heavy-duty liter V6 with 290-horsepower (for the Santa Fe only). Furthermore, Hyundai's Drive Mode selection lets you choose between Sport, Eco and Normal modes for either model. With customized engine power like that, you'll see an EPA combined 23 MPG on the Sport and 20 on the Santa Fe.

Hyundai provides some of the best hands-free technology available to vehicle manufacturers. Both 2017 models have available options for a Multi-view Camera System, 7-inch color touchscreen (8-inch available) with voice recognition, SiriusXM Travel Link®, Android Auto™, available Smart Cruise control, and much more, including USB outlets on the third row for Santa Fe drivers. Your choice ultimately boils down to how big your crew is, and how much power you need. Both models suit very unique needs, and are fully equipped to drive you to adventure.
