Looks - Santa Fe
Interior - Santa Fe (standard leather seats and more roomy)
Ride - Santa Fe (the Fort is just too stiff, ayaw sakyan ni Misis)
Engine Performance - Santa Fe (drove along SLEX at around 180kph with 5 passengers, no sweat; not sure how the Fortuner 3.0 D4D performs)
Transmission - both are smooth but Santa Fe's 5th gear is a plus
Braking - Santa Fe (strong yet smooth stopping)
Ground Clearance - Fortuner (an advantage indeed especially for off-road and floods)
Interior Noise Level - Fortuner (quieter for me and sobrang konti lang rattling parts)
Resale Value - Fortuner (sa tingin ko)
Overall, I like both SUVs, pero if I were to choose only one, Santa Fe ako.
