2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV vs The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid

If you're looking for a compact hybrid SUV for an active lifestyle, two models you'll see on any list are the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. These two models offer a spacious cabin with plenty of cargo space and efficient performance. Let's compare the two up close to see which one is right for you.

Both the 2024 Outlander PHEV and 2024 Santa Fe Hybrid include four-wheel or all-wheel drive for more capability. Each model features an automatic transmission for smooth handling with manual mode for a more exciting feel. An I-4 engine enhances efficiency for both SUVs. The Mitsubishi puts more power behind the engine with up to 248 horses over 226 for the Santa Fe Hybrid. Torque is also greatly increased at 332 lb.-ft over 195 for the Hyundai. Both Mitsubishi and Hyundai use the same type of suspension with struts for the front and multi-link for the rear to create a comfortable ride.

While the two models are similar in size, the Mitsubishi is slightly more compact, making it easier to handle in heavy traffic. The wheelbase is over two inches shorter with three inches less in overall length. It's also about an inch less in width, which makes it easier to park. You also get the option of a panoramic roof in the Outlander PHEV to let in more natural light. Both models include practical features like keyless start and a power liftgate. Only the Outlander PHEV includes power folding mirrors as standard on the base trim to help you fit in tighter spaces with ease.

One of the big differences between the Mitsubishi and the Hyundai SUVs is that the Outlander PHEV is designed with three rows to seat up to seven while the Santa Fe Hybrid has room for five. Both models are equipped with advanced entertainment systems, but you can upgrade to a premium sound system for the Mitsubishi. You'll get where you need to go in either model with a navigation system standard for the base trim along with a hands-free communication system. Relax with lumbar support for the driver in either model along with heated front seats. The Outlander PHEV includes the option of premium synthetic upholstery to add a touch of refinement.

While these two models are comparable in terms of features, you get more amenities with the base trim of the Outlander PHEV than with the Santa Fe Hybrid.
