In the Hyundai Santa Fe, start out with stain-resistant cloth seating. You can upgrade either to deluxe leather appointments or quilted premium Nappa leather seating surfaces. The Ford gives you cloth seating standard and expands to available leather-trimmed sport bucket seats.

So, if you like a sleek, designer look, the Santa Fe may be more to your taste.

Sitting in the front of your vehicle, you also want to feel comfortable and have the ability to stretch out. Here’s what you can expect from both the Santa Fe and the Edge, according to their dimensions:

You’ll also enjoy more rear-seat legroom in the Hyundai. It sports 41.7 inches of space, while the Ford stops at 40.6 inches.

While you’re driving to wherever you’re headed, it would be nice to know your phone won’t need to be charged. No battery drain occurs in either SUV thanks to their wireless device-charging systems. Nearly every trim except one in the Santa Fe includes wireless device charging. Only three trims offer a wireless charging pad in the Edge.

You’ll also get added warnings with the Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection. This feature will caution you about cyclists in your path through the Cyclist Detection device.

When driving the Ford, it does offer Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking but no specialized system for monitoring cyclists. You can add Enhanced Active Park Assist™ to help park your car, but you’ll still have to sit inside it. The Ford is missing that coolness factor the Santa Fe can hardly contain.
