Compare the Hyundai Santa Fe vs Volvo EX30
AI generated from our expert reviews
The Hyundai Santa Fe is longer than the Volvo EX30 and can be had with a third row of seats, which the Volvo cannot. In the back, the Santa Fe offers space for three adults, with a middle seat that is roomy enough and a totally flat floor that ensures space for everyone's feet. By contrast, you will not want to carry three passengers in the back of the EX30 for too long, as knee and shoulder room is a bit of a problem. Around town, both cars have suspension that does a great or brilliant job of smoothing out bad roads and speed bumps. When tackling bends, the Santa Fe has plenty of grip and its body does not lean too much. If you try to drive the EX30 like a sports car, its tyres will struggle for grip and the body leans quite a bit.
