Honda CR-V vs Hyundai Santa Fe vs Mazda CX-8 Comparison

From The Experts

Things we like	Premium, sharp exterior design, especially bold in the RS variant with gloss black elements and sequential LED lights. High safety features as standard, with eight airbags, Honda Sensing suite, and advanced driver assists even from base variants. Spacious, practical interior with a huge 587L boot (expandable to 1687L) and flexible, comfortable cabin layout. Read More	Luxurious and feature-rich cabin Comfortable ride quality Read More	Top-notch interior Great power and driving experience Fantastic exterior design Read More
Things we don't like	No ventilated seats or sunroof, even in top variants, which are expected in this segment Large turning radius of 6 metres makes tight urban manoeuvring slightly cumbersome for a crossover SUV. The hybrid RS variant is pricey, with a significantly higher cost compared to turbo-petrol variants. Read More	Limited space in the third row Exterior styling can be too loud for some Read More	Infotainment display size could have been bigger A bit cramped-up third row Read More
