This is the Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe comparison for 2018. All new for 2018 the latest version of the Santa Fe is a much needed due to the 5 year old prior generation which we thought was overpriced, so how does the new one compare to the old one? Is it worth the purchase over a run out model 2018 Santa Fe?
Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe exterior comparison: The old Santa Fe was a nice looking SUV but on the conservative side but looked it’s price which also helped sales. The old Santa Fe’s design was one of the first of a new and distinct design trend in Hyundai by being a modern and not awkward unlike past models. The new 2019 Santa Fe is just just like Hyundai’s attitude to design of old with a new unrelated and new design that owes nothing to the prior model. The 2019 Sonata Fe is a modern and nice looking SUV that unfortunately has too many deign cues already established by other manufacturers, I just we are saying is that we’ve seen it all before. It’s a pity that with the resources of Hyundai to establish some sort of a brand image or design language or perhaps it does?
Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe interior comparison: The old Santa Fe has a descent interior even by 2018 standards. In the day it matched it’s competitors in terms of design and quality but it was never ‘luxury’. The new 2019 Santa Fe once again matches it’s competitors in quality and even design. The cheap looking centre screen is the worst part of the of the new interior. It’s better than the old one but only matches it’s even older competitors. Like the exterior the new Santa Fe’s interior is a mix of other manufacturers design themes. While is nice to be in and better than the old model, feels just as nice as it’s competitors but due to the copied elements is not special or unique.
Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe engine and technology comparison: The engine are essentially carryover form the last model and the 2.4 petrol is a slugger. The diesel engine option in the Santa Fe is arguably the better model but going out of favour due to expense in the long terms and that it requires additional maintenance which defeats the purpose of the sometime lower diesel prices. The noise factor is also a factor which makes diesel engines in general lose favour especially of the suburban buyers in this country. In terms of safety systems there more of them and has Auto emergency brakes on all model grades and even HUD on some models. The branded Infinity stereo system is definitely worth optioning. Overall the new mode is a refinement of the older one.

The conclusion and winner of the Hyundai Santa Fe Vs 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe comparison is the 2019 Santa Fe. Easy win really thanks to the new but derivative exterior and interior styling but it is a bit of a flaw. Te other problem is the price difference on the 2019 Santa Fe, it’s big, at around $5000 more than the old model. Sure it’s a little bigger with more trinkets but it’d hard to justify the over $65000 with on roads and the applies to it’s competitors as well like the Kluger or CX-9. That said if it was priced the same as the old Santa Fe and the brand…
