Fuel Consumption? Santa Fe
Handling? CX-9
Safety? Tied
Design? Uh... tough to call.
Size? Nearly the same.
Features? Depends on variant...

Do note: There's a CX9 4x2 CBU from Japan at UNDER 2m.

That's right. A 273 horsepower V6 seven-seat cross-over for less than two million bucks.

Sure, it'll suck on gas... but imagine the fun you'll have while pouring money down the drain...
