Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Edge offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, with comparable head- and legroom. The Hyundai Santa Fe HEV will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Ford Edge.

Convenience
The Hyundai Santa Fe HEV requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Ford Edge, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Ford Edge or the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Ford Edge is a little wider than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Ford Edge takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

Handling
The Ford Edge has a larger turning radius than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV is clearly the choice over the Ford Edge for pulling heavy loads. The Ford Edge has a little more horsepower than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford Edge does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

Utility
The Ford Edge has less seating than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, making the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Ford Edge has less cargo space than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
