Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Honda Passport than the Hyundai Santa Fe. The Hyundai Santa Fe will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Honda Passport.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Honda Passport as you will with the Hyundai Santa Fe, 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). The Honda Passport is somewhat more expensive than the Hyundai Santa Fe.

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

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

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

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda Passport and the Hyundai Santa Fe. With the Honda Passport, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Hyundai Santa Fe.
