Fuel Economy & Range
Too close to call
The fuel economy & range specs are close enough that neither gets the point. Either car will serve you equally well on fuel economy & range.
Space & Practicality
Too close to call
If space & practicality matters most to you, this section won’t make the decision for you: they’re level. This section won’t settle the choice, so weigh the other areas more heavily.
Off-road & Towing
Too close to call
Call the off-road & towing round a draw. So off-road & towing is a non-factor here; move on to the areas where they actually differ.
