2023 Hyundai Santa FE vs Tucson review // Premium Package 

A bit of a surprise that Tucson is just a roomy as Santa Fe. Watch the comparison to see exact dimensions and price tags from dealership. ❤

I compared both and bought a 2023 Santa Fe Limited. I absolutely love that when I hit the turn signal to change lanes or turn the left mirror camera appears on the left where the speedo is, the right camera appears on the right where the tach is. I would never have believed that I would like, much less buy a Hyundai, but I was seriously impressed. It's roomy, quiet, comfortable, rides and drives great, and gets better mileage than the EPA estimates. Only one thing I'd do differently is go for the AWD with 2.5 Turbo, it's got too much power for just a front wheel drive. It'll boil the tires, and has massive torque steer. Other than that it's been great. The panoramic roof is great, the adaptive cruise works flawlessly, cameras automatically come on when it senses and obstacle in front. The tech is excellent, and bang for the buck you can't touch it with anything comparable. It feels like a much bigger vehicle than it is. I also have a 2020 Tahoe, I drive the Santa Fe more. It's much more maneuverable and gets about 50% better mileage.

Santa Fe all the way!….a big brother to tucson….more premium and quieter cabin…i just switch from tucson to Santa Fe….

The Santa Fe SEL Premium and Tucson Limited were close in price when I was shopping. I went with the Tucson Limited. Liked the exterior and interior look over the Santa Fe SEL Premium and additional features such as actual leather seats, rear heated seats for cold winters and ventilated seats for hot summer days.

First of all, Thank you for the thorough review. For me I think the Santa Fe looks classy and big, Tucson is sporty and looks better in the wind and other driving conditions. I definitely prefer the sporty because I'm going for performance for my lifestyle over look. It's like a nice dress shoe compared to my favorite gym shoes. I choose gym shoes every day.

I had a Tucson and a Santa Fe. Absolutely loved the Santa Fe, but traded it for a Santa Cruz. I still have the Tucson. I've easily beat the advertised mileage on all three.

No waaayy!!! the trunk is bigger on the Tucson?!? everything looks much better in the santa fe starting from the front and not to mention the center console

Are rear blinker lights on the bumper?

I love in general the Santa Fe over the Tucson, however the one point where the Tucson excel, is the regular gear selector and much roomier center stack. The Santa Fe feels very cramped compared.

Plus, the best warranty of all: 10 years/100,00 miles on the drive train, and 6 years all other.

Philippine-spec Sta Fe comes with 2.2 Turbo diesel engine with 199 hp and a whopping 325 lb ft of torque mated to a DCT

I have motion sickness problem. Toyota rav4 bounces a lot. Which of these two bounce less?

Lot of sites are reporting the gas mileage of 2023 Santa Fe as 25 city and 28 highway..which is correct?

In Kazakhstan there’s a small price differences between those two cars in luxe packages. Santa Fe will cost you 2200$ more than Tucson. We have 2.5 Santa Fe (could be upgraded to 3.5, costs 11k$) And 2.5 Tucson Love both cars but there’s a dilemma for me😂 Don’t know what to buy… Santa Fe 2.5 or Tucson 2.5 😄

Which is the smoother and quieter ride?

Tuscon is lighter. IF you want the base engine the Tuscon makes the most of the power and better mpg. Santa Fe is too heavy for that engine. If you can afford turbo then go Santa FE.

Vote for santa fe

Santa Fe Calligraphy trim.

Santa Fe everyday

Less cargo space on Santa Fe is a serious bummer.

It's not real leather interior on the seats? Our hyundai tucson has real leather

Never had a santa fe but prefer my tucson it's more class for me😂

USB A, what the hell they were thinking?

On both models, the turn signals in the back are too low on the bumper. Hyundai engines are old-school not even near the reliability of Toyota Lexus. No thank you

Front ends are Tied for UGLY.
