With respect to horsepower, the Hyundai Santa Fe packs quite a wallop and will knock the Tucson down a few rungs. On the other hand, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Hyundai Tucson and the Santa Fe quite certainly handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Hyundai Santa Fe than the Tucson because of its larger tank. The Hyundai Tucson and the Hyundai Santa Fe compete for the same parking spaces.
