Overall, both the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2020 Subaru Forester are great candidates to consider. However, each offers unique advantages. For example, the Forester offers standard all-wheel drive. Despite this, the Santa Fe’s advantages are much more numerous, thus making this model far more popular.
First, the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe proves to be much more powerful. Its standard engine is similar to the strength of that of the Forester. Drivers that want more muscle will enjoy the available turbocharged engine with 235 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Unfortunately for the Santa Fe’s rival, the Forester doesn’t offer the choice of an engine upgrade. Inside the cabin, Santa Fe drivers will also enjoy more space. One specific example we found is that the Santa Fe offers more legroom in both the front and back rows.
In addition to these specs, the Santa Fe offers a bit more convenience and comfort. For instance, the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe offers the standard keyless entry system while the Forester will require drivers to pay extra for this convenience. Lastly, you can rest assured that your Santa Fe will be protected for far longer than if you chose the Forester. In fact, both the powertrain and bumper to bumper warranties offered with the 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe trump the warranties offered with the Forester.
