This is a Motormouth couple car comparison of the Toyota Venza hybrid and the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid.The Hyundai Santa Fe is almost 2 inches longer and wider than the Toyota Venza and over 2 inches taller. The Toyota Venza comes with a 2.5L 4-cylinder gas engine with Toyota’s Hybrid system; producing 219 horsepower and 163 lb-ft of torque. The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid has a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a 6 speed automatic paired with an electric motor, 226 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Both are AWD only. They both come with similar standard features like an 8” touchscreen, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto on the Santa Fe and wired on the Venza. The top trim on the Hyundai will get you ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, power liftgate, a 10.25” touchscreen and a 12.3” digital driver display. The middle trim on the Venza comes with the 12.3” touchscreen, a 7” driver display and a power liftgate with kick sensor. There is no sunroof option on the Venza, a fixed panoramic glass roof with frost control is on the top trim. There is no JD Power rating available for the Toyota Venza or Santa Fe Hybrid. But, the 2021 Santa Fe gas model gets an overall score of 83/100 and for quality and reliability 86/100. I thought I would throw in the RAV4 Hybrid rating since it shares the same platform and engine. It gets an overall rating of 80/100 and for quality and reliability 74. CarEdge states the Venza will retain 62% of its value after 5 years and the 2021 Santa Fe gas model, (the Hybrid is not available) 51% of its value. The Venza gets better fuel economy than the Santa Fe at 6.1L/100km, 39 MPG combined and 7.4L/100km, 32 MPG for the Hyundai.
The Santa Fe starts at $39,299 CAD/$33,650 USD and the top trim is $43,799CAD/$39,950 USD.
The Venza starts at $38,490 CAD/$32,570 USD and the top trim is $47,690 CAD/$39,900 USD.
