In fact, the Santa Fe Sport manages five extra inches in length than the CR-V.

The Hyundai Santa Fe Sport is equipped with a much larger gas tank than the Honda CR-V. You'll have to stop for refueling less often with the Hyundai, because the Santa Fe Sport can go 470 miles on the highway per tank of gas, while the Honda CR-V requires refilling after 448 miles on the highway.

Santa Fe Sport Warranty vs. the Honda Warranty

Hyundai stands by the vehicles they make with a remarkable 10-year or 100,000-mile warranty. The Honda CR-V, on the other hand, is only covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles.
