Comfort
Passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more with the Chevrolet Silverado EV than the Hyundai Santa Cruz. The Chevrolet Silverado EV will be a favorite with tall drivers and their passengers, since it has much greater head- and legroom than the Hyundai Santa Cruz.

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 Chevrolet Silverado EV will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Santa Cruz, which has a much lower MSRP.

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

Handling
The Chevrolet Silverado EV has a larger turning radius than the Hyundai Santa Cruz, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit the same number of people in the Chevrolet Silverado EV as you will the Hyundai Santa Cruz. The Hyundai Santa Cruz has a lot more cargo capacity for hauling lumber or gardening supplies than the Chevrolet Silverado EV.
