The Chevrolet Blazer EV has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The Santa Fe Hybrid doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

The Chevrolet Blazer EV comes with a standard HD Surround Vision and it also offers an optional rear camera washer to make backing always safe, regardless of road dirt or grime, while the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid doesn’t offer a camera washer, requiring manual cleaning.

Both the Blazer EV and the Santa Fe Hybrid have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, front wheel drive, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning, available front parking sensors and driver alert monitors.

The Chevrolet Blazer EV weighs 434 to 1299 pounds more than the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid. The NHTSA advises that heavier vehicles are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does 35 MPH front crash tests on new vehicles. In this test, results indicate that the Chevrolet Blazer EV is safer than the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid:

	Blazer EV	Santa Fe Hybrid
OVERALL STARS	5 Stars	4 Stars
	Driver
STARS	5 Stars	4 Stars
HIC	165	460
Neck Injury Risk	21.6%	28%
Neck Stress	172 lbs.	273 lbs.
Neck Compression	19 lbs.	33 lbs.
	Passenger
STARS	5 Stars	4 Stars
HIC	280	369
Chest Compression	.6 inches	.6 inches
Neck Compression	74 lbs.	140 lbs.
Leg Forces (l/r)	148/186 lbs.	726/652 lbs.

New test not comparable to pre-2011 test results. More stars = Better. Lower test results = Better.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does side impact tests on new vehicles. In this test, which crashes the vehicle into a flat barrier at 38.5 MPH and into a post at 20 MPH, results indicate that the Chevrolet Blazer EV is safer than the Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid:

	Blazer EV	Santa Fe Hybrid
	Rear Seat
STARS	5 Stars	5 Stars
Spine Acceleration	30 G’s	32 G’s
Hip Force	219 lbs.	264 lbs.
	Into Pole
STARS	5 Stars	5 Stars
Max Damage Depth	8 inches	16 inches
Spine Acceleration	36 G’s	38 G’s

New test not comparable to pre-2011 test results. More stars = Better. Lower test results = Better.

Instrumented handling tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and analysis of its dimensions indicate that the Blazer EV is 6.9% to 9.6% less likely to roll over than the Santa Fe Hybrid.

For better traction, the Blazer EV has larger standard tires than the Santa Fe Hybrid (255/60R19 vs. 235/60R18). The Blazer EV RS’ tires are larger than the largest tires available on the Santa Fe Hybrid (275/45R21 vs. 255/45R20).

The Blazer EV’s optional tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Santa Fe Hybrid Limited/Calligraphy’s 45 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Blazer EV LT has standard 19-inch wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the Santa Fe SE/SEL Hybrid. The Blazer EV’s optional 22-inch wheels are larger than the 20-inch wheels on the Santa Fe Hybrid Limited/Calligraphy.

The Chevrolet Blazer EV’s wheels have 6 lugs for longer wheel bearing life, less chance of rotor warping and greater strength. The Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid only has 5 wheel lugs per wheel.

The Blazer EV has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle’s integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The Santa Fe Hybrid doesn’t offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.

Having a flat tire is dangerous, inconvenient and expensive. The self-sealing tires available on the Blazer EV can automatically seal most punctures up to 3/16 of an inch, effectively preventing most flat tires. The Santa Fe Hybrid doesn’t offer self-sealing tires.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Blazer EV’s wheelbase is 11 inches longer than on the Santa Fe Hybrid (121.8 inches vs. 110.8 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Blazer EV is 1.3 inches wider in the front and 1 inch wider in the rear than the average track on the Santa Fe Hybrid.

The Blazer EV SS handles at .89 G’s, while the Santa Fe Calligraphy Hybrid HTRAC AWD pulls only .82 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Blazer EV RS executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 2.1 seconds quicker than the Santa Fe Calligraphy Hybrid HTRAC AWD (26.6 seconds @ .7 average G’s vs. 28.7 seconds @ .57 average G’s).

For greater off-road capability the Blazer EV SS has a greater minimum ground clearance than the Santa Fe Hybrid (7.5 vs. 7 inches), allowing the Blazer EV to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged. The Blazer EV’s minimum ground clearance is .9 inch higher than on the Santa Fe Hybrid (7.9 vs. 7 inches).

The Blazer EV’s front and rear power windows all lower with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Santa Fe Hybrid’s standard power windows’ passenger windows don’t open automatically.

The Blazer EV’s standard Keyless Access allow you to unlock the doors from any outside door handle, unlock the cargo door, and start the vehicle, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Proximity Key standard on the Santa Fe Hybrid doesn’t offer a sensor on the rear doors, so you’ll have to reach a front handle to unlock the rear door.

The Blazer EV’s optional rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Santa Fe Hybrid offers an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.
