Convenience
The Hyundai Santa Fe requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Dodge Hornet, making it more convenient to drive.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Dodge Hornet will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Hornet is much wider than the Hyundai Santa Fe, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Dodge Hornet, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Hyundai Santa Fe is clearly the choice over the Dodge Hornet for pulling heavy loads. The Dodge Hornet has a little less horsepower than the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Powertrain
The Dodge Hornet has much lower torque than the Hyundai Santa Fe, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Dodge Hornet has less seating than the Hyundai Santa Fe, making the Hyundai Santa Fe the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.
