If you have around $65,000 (US$50,000) to spend on a new 7-seat SUV, the 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe and the 2021 Kia Sorento always pop up in conversation. Despite being quite similar, is one of them better than the other?

This is a new comparison format that we're trialling, where we put the two cars up against each other head-to-head to see which is better. Paul Maric gets behind the wheel of both to see if there's a clear winner. We're open to feedback on this format, so let us know whether you like it or not in the comments section below. If you do like it, which cars would you like compared next?
