Comparison Review

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

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Jeep Wrangler.

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). Clearly, the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV is a better financial choice over the Jeep Wrangler, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Santa Fe HEV is a little wider than the Jeep Wrangler, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. When looking at overall length, the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Jeep Wrangler.

Handling
The Hyundai Santa Fe HEV has a smaller turning radius than the Jeep Wrangler, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Jeep Wrangler is clearly the choice over the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV has a lot less horsepower than the Jeep Wrangler.

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

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV and the Jeep Wrangler. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Hyundai Santa Fe HEV as you will in the Jeep Wrangler.
