Compare the Cupra Formentor vs Hyundai Santa Fe
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both the Cupra Formentor and the Hyundai Santa Fe provide comfortable front seats with loads of adjustment for drivers of all sizes. As the longer car, the Santa Fe can also have a third row of seats, which the Formentor cannot offer. When you get out on the motorway, the Santa Fe keeps road noise minimal, whereas the Formentor produces rather a lot of road noise from its wide tyres. On a twisty country road, however, the Formentor comes into its own. By contrast, while the Santa Fe is perfectly capable of taking corners on a twisty road, it is just not that enjoyable to do so because of its remote powertrain and light, numb steering.
