Trying to decide between the all-new Blazer and popular Santa Fe? The battle between the 2019 Chevy Blazer vs 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is a close one. Both vehicles are versatile, advanced, and incredibly safe, but only one of the vehicles can be the right choice for you.
The 2019 Chevy Blazer is an all-new vehicle with a refreshingly bold appearance. Drivers looking for an athletic, edgy, and almost futuristic looking vehicle appreciated all that the Blazer has to offer. The Blazer is also incredibly generous in terms of standard features, offering an 8-inch touchscreen display, as well as both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as features on their base model. In terms of power and capability, the Blazer outperforms many of the competitors in its class when equipped with its available V6 engine. Whether you opt for the standard or available engine, the Blazer is also very fuel-efficient, making it an excellent choice for drivers looking to use their vehicle for all of their daily needs. Safety features are also abundant on the Blazer, so drivers prioritizing safety in their next vehicle won’t have to look any further.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is also an excellent selection from the midsize SUV class. However, this vehicle lacks the new and refreshing design of the Blazer and comes standard with less advanced entertainment features. The Santa Fe is also less powerful than the Blazer, even when equipped with its top engine. However, the Santa Fe is incredibly spacious and offers an excellent set of safety features.
Overall, both the 2019 Chevy Blazer and 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe are both great choices from the midsize SUV class. To help you determine which of these options is the right choice for you, let’s take a closer look at how they compare in terms of performance, interior features, and safety.
The 2019 Chevy Blazer and 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe offer versatile performance for the midsize SUV class, but the Blazer outperforms the Santa Fe in terms of power. The Blazer is also more athletic, offering responsive handling and an enjoyable ride quality overall.
The 2019 Chevy Blazer comes with two engine options. The standard engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, which is capable of producing up to 193 hp and 188 lb-ft torque. This engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and earns fuel economy ratings of up to 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Meanwhile, the available 3.6L V6 engine is the more powerful engine, capable of producing up to 308 hp and 270 lb-ft torque. Fuel economy ratings for this drop only slightly to 20 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Drivers can also upgrade to AWD with this engine, which brings the fuel economy ratings down to 18 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. However, these are still competitive rates compared to other vehicles in the midsize SUV class. The available V6 engine is also paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This configuration allows for a maximum towing capacity of up to 4,500 LBS. Whether you opt for the standard or available engine, you’ll get to enjoy the Blazer’s excellent handling and ride quality, which leads the class as an all-new model.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe also comes with the choice of two engines, but it lacks a V6 alternative. Instead, the Santa Fe comes standard with a 4-cylinder engine and offers a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine as an available option. The 2.4L 4-cylinder engine is capable of producing up to 185 hp and 178 lb-ft torque with fuel economy ratings of up to 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The turbocharged engine is more powerful with the ability to produce up to 235 hp and 260 lb-ft torque, but it still can’t compete with the Blazer’s V6 engine. Fuel economy for this engine drops to 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway, which are lower ratings than the V6 engine of the Blazer. The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe does offer smooth and composed handling paired with a comfortable interior for an enjoyable ride quality. However, drivers looking for a high level of power will want to opt for the 2019 Chevy Blazer over the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe.
Both the 2019 Chevy Blazer and 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe offer an upscale interior with plenty of standard features. However, the Blazer brings a new and refreshing design to the midsize SUV class, as well as more advanced standard technology than the Santa Fe.
The all-new Blazer comes packed with standard features, which are further enhanced by the SUV’s Camaro-inspired interior design. Throughout the cabin, bold and sharp lines stand out against smooth accents to make for a bold and somewhat futuristic interior. Materials of the highest quality were used to create soft-touch surfaces and comfortable seating, which gives the Blazer a more luxurious touch. The centerpiece of the cabin is the standard 8-inch touchscreen display, which is provided for use with the Blazer’s advanced infotainment system.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also included as standard features, as well as dual-zone automatic climate control, push button start, and a long list of entertainment features. Physical controls for the infotainment system are smartly placed throughout the cabin, well in reach for both the driver and front passenger.
Drivers will also find a number of discrete storage compartments, which are perfect for keeping all of your belongings organized and tidy onboard your new vehicle. The cargo hold of the Blazer measures in at 30.5 cubic feet, which is a competitive size for the midsize SUV class. This area also offers a flat load floor to make loading larger items easy and convenient. Available options on the Blazer include leather upholstery, heated seating, ventilated seating, navigation, and an 8-speaker Bose sound system.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe offers a sleek interior design created with high-quality materials. The centerpiece of this cabin is a 7-inch touchscreen display, which comes standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This system is smaller than that of the Blazer’s and offers a less generous set of standard features. The infotainment system onboard the Santa Fe has received positive reviews from drivers and critics, but the Chevy infotainment system onboard the Blazer is one of the highest-rated systems on the market.
However, the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe is incredibly spacious and offers plenty of legroom and headroom for each passenger. Adult passengers can even sit comfortably in the rear seats, making long road trips fun and enjoyable. Optional features on the new Santa Fe include heated seats, wireless device charging, navigation, and a panoramic sunroof. Overall, the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe offers one of the nicer interiors in the midsize SUV class, but in terms of design and standard entertainment features, the Santa Fe simply can’t compete with what the Blazer has to offer. Tech-savvy drivers looking for a bold and refreshing design will want to check out what the 2019 Chevy Blazer has to offer.
If you’re looking for a safe and reliable vehicle, both the 2019 Chevy Blazer and 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe will have you covered. Advanced safety technologies appear throughout both vehicles as standard and available features, yet Teen Drive technology can only be found on the Blazer.
The 2019 Chevy Blazer offers an excellent suite of safety technology, which begins with their Teen Driver platform. This system allows parents to set strict volume and speed restrictions for young or secondary drivers, and even produces detailed reports of each trip driven. This system is a must-have for parents with teenage drivers, making it easy to monitor and build safe driving habits. The Blazer also includes a rear-seat reminder, which sounds an alert when the vehicle is shut-off to remind drivers to check the rear seat for any precious cargo. Active safety features on the Blazer include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection.
The 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe lacks Teen Driver technology or any type of replacement, which several manufacturers have started adding as a standard feature on many of their vehicles. However, the Santa Fe does offer a nice selection of safety features under the Hyundai SmartSense suite, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking. Like the Blazer, the Santa Fe also offers a reminder system for the rear seats, which sounds an alert to remind drivers to check for forgotten passengers, pets, or belongings. Overall, the 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe performed well in terms of safety testing, earning a 4 out of 5-star rating from the NHTSA in rollover testing. While both vehicles offer excellent safety features, parents of young drivers will definitely benefit from the Teen Driver technology offered on the Blazer. This system is also an excellent way to ensure that anyone who borrows your vehicle drives safely.
