Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV than in the Chevrolet Blazer, due to its greater 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 Chevrolet Blazer.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Chevrolet Blazer as you will with the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 Chevrolet Blazer or the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Blazer is much wider than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Chevrolet Blazer takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

Handling
The Chevrolet Blazer 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 horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Chevrolet Blazer and the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Chevrolet Blazer and the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV. The Chevrolet Blazer 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.
