Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Expedition offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, with comparable head- and legroom. The Ford Expedition offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 Ford Expedition will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Expedition 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 Ford Expedition, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Ford Expedition is clearly the choice over the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Expedition greatly out-muscles the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford Expedition 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 Ford Expedition and the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV. With the Ford Expedition, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV.
