Comparison Review

Comfort
The Buick Enclave offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, with comparable head- and legroom. The Buick Enclave will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

Convenience
With the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Buick Enclave, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). The Buick Enclave is somewhat more expensive than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

Dimensions
Since the Buick Enclave is much wider than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Buick Enclave, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

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

Utility
