Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Santa Fe than in the Ford Bronco Sport, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Hyundai Santa Fe offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Ford Bronco Sport, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Bronco Sport 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). When looking only at MSRP, the Ford Bronco Sport will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Dimensions
The Ford Bronco Sport is about the same width as the Hyundai Santa Fe. If you go with the Ford Bronco Sport, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Handling
The Ford Bronco Sport has the same turning radius as the Hyundai Santa Fe, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Ford Bronco Sport will do just as well as the Hyundai Santa Fe, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Ford Bronco Sport has a little less horsepower than the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford Bronco Sport transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively 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 Ford Bronco Sport and the Hyundai Santa Fe. The Ford Bronco Sport has less cargo space than the Hyundai Santa Fe, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
