The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe comes available in seven different trims, while the XL model is only available in two configurations. For price-conscious buyers, the regular Hyundai Santa Fe could be the better choice as its starting price is a little more than $5,000 more affordable. Let's take a closer look at the starting price for both models in terms of their lowest and highest tiers:
Although it comes in at a more affordable price, this also means that the regular Santa Fe model isn't as fully-equipped as the XL version, and we can capably see this when we compare the engines of each model. For the regular Santa Fe, its base-level model is equipped with a 2.4L inline 4-cylinder engine that produces 185 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. You get a solid engine upgrade if you opt for the XL, which is equipped with a 3.3L V6 engine capable of 290 hp and 252 lb-ft of torque. However, the regular 2019 Santa Fe has better fuel economy ratings:
As for the interior, if you have a bigger family, the XL is probably the choice for you. The Hyundai Santa Fe XL comes standard with seven-passenger seating, while the regular model only seats up to five passengers. The XL model also has a larger interior volume, besting the regular Santa Fe's total interior volume of 146.6 cubic feet with a roomier 161.1 cubic feet. If you need to pack up more passengers or cargo, then the Santa Fe XL is the right Hyundai SUV for you!
