Hyundai Santa Fe Vs Mazda CX-3: Powertrain And Engine Specs  

If you want an SUV with a versatile powertrain, then you’ll be happy with either the 2019 Santa Fe or Mazda CX-3.

They both give you the choice between a lightweight front-wheel drive system and a smart all-wheel drive (AWD) drivetrain. The smart AWD system in both SUVs automatically redistributes torque among all four wheels to maximize traction control based on your specific conditions.

This means that you can feel confident whether you’re driving in rain, sunshine, sleet, or snow.

Drivers who want a high-powered engine under the hood may find yourselves more satisfied with the Santa Fe. This SUV gives you two engine options:

• 2.4L I-4: 184 horsepower

• 2.0L turbo I-4: 235 horsepower

While the Hyundai Santa Fe can reach a maximum output of 235 horsepower, the Mazda CX-3 maxes out at just 148 horsepower with its 2.0L I-4 engine.

 

Interior Features And Dimensions: Hyundai Santa Fe And Mazda CX-3 

Want to bring some friends along for the ride? With the Hyundai Santa Fe and Mazda CX-3, you can! Both crossovers have two rows of seating and enough room for five passengers.

When you hit the road, you’ll be able to stay entertained and connected in either SUV with available Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ compatibility. These fully integrate your smartphone with your car and let you access your favorite apps via your standard 7-inch touchscreen display.

The Hyundai Santa Fe also lets you fold down the rear seats to open up a total cargo volume of 71.3 cubic feet. The Mazda CX-3, on the other hand, only lets you carry a maximum of 44.5 cubic feet of cargo.
