Comfort
The Ford Escape offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Hyundai Santa Fe, with comparable head- and legroom.
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 Ford Escape.
Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Escape 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 Escape will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Hyundai Santa Fe.
Dimensions
The Ford Escape is about the same width as the Hyundai Santa Fe.
The Ford Escape is slightly shorter than the Hyundai Santa Fe, which may make it easier to park.
Handling
The Ford Escape has a larger turning radius than the Hyundai Santa Fe, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Ford Escape will do just as well as the Hyundai Santa Fe, since they have about the same towing capacity.
The Ford Escape has a little less horsepower than the Hyundai Santa Fe.
Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Ford Escape 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 Escape and the Hyundai Santa Fe.
The Ford Escape has less cargo space than the Hyundai Santa Fe, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
