2019 Hyundai Santa Fe vs 2019 Subaru Forester

Here at Fred Beans Hyundai of Langhorne, we've created this 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe vs. 2019 Subaru Forester comparison for the drivers around the Philadelphia area. Learn more about the differences in performance, interior, and features of these two models.

Performance: Santa Fe vs Forester

One of the first things that you should know about the 2019 Santa Fe is that it's designed to perform.

• Available Inline 4-Cylinder Turbocharged Engine: 235 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque
• All-Wheel Drive: HTRAC All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system is available on all different trims
• Transmission: 8-Speed Automatic with SHIFTRONIC® is standard on all different trims

And that's not even counting Drive Mode Select, which is also standard on all different trim levels. This will give you the traction and control that you need to face anything that the weather throws your way.

Thankfully, the 2019 Forester also comes with an AWD system, which they've termed Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. However, its engine only manages to squeak out 182 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque.

Hyundai Santa Fe vs Subaru Forester: Interior

There's also the question of cabin space. In other words, how much room will there be for you, your passengers, and your cargo? Well, in the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, there will be more than enough room.

Plus, depending on how you configure the seats, you can also take advantage of either 35.9 cubic feet of cargo space (with both rows in place) or a whopping 71.3 cubic feet of cargo space (second row stowed).

Unfortunately, the Subaru Forester isn't quite as spacious. For example, it offers less legroom and shoulder room in both the front and the back seats. Yet its maximum cargo capacity is strikingly similar.

Hyundai vs Subaru: Safety

In terms of safety in the 2019 Santa Fe Sport, Hyundai SmartSense is the name of the game. Check it out here:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning
• Smart Cruise Control
• Lane Keeping Assist
• High Beam Assist

Yet, that's just the beginning-this suite also includes helpful features like a Driver Attention Warning and even a Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning. On the Subaru Forester, EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology fulfills the same needs. Its DriverFocus™ Distraction Mitigation System is remarkably similar to the Driver Attention Warning that we mentioned above. Please drop us a line with any safety-related questions.
