While the Toyota Rav4 2023 has a starting price of AED 95,900 and the Nissan X-Trail 2023 is priced at AED 99,900, the Hyundai Santa Fe 2023 3.5L GLS Premium+ (AWD) stands at AED 159,999 including VAT.

This Korean SUV is powered by a robust 3.5-litre 6-cylinder petrol engine, producing an impressive 272 horsepower and 331 Nm of torque, making it a strong contender in its class. In comparison, both the Toyota Rav4 and Nissan X-Trail are equipped with smaller 2.5-litre engines, which may appeal to drivers seeking fuel efficiency over power.
