Small SUVs are perfect for the city because they're easy to maneuver, while still offering abundant cargo space that you just can't get with a car. The new Hyundai Kona has deft handling, a comfortable ride, and user-friendly tech features that stack up well against its competitors. Read on to find out how the Kona compares to the Toyota C-HR and Honda HR-V.
Hyundai Kona vs. Toyota C-HR
With your commute, errands around town, and occasional vacations, you'll drive your SUV a lot, so you might as well enjoy the ride. The Hyundai Kona has a powerful engine for quick acceleration from a stop. The Kona comes standard with a 147-horsepower four-cylinder base engine, but a turbocharged 175-horsepower motor is available. Either engine provides plenty of pep for passing.
The Toyota C-HR's lone engine is a 144-horsepower four-cylinder motor. This powertrain makes the C-HR feel sluggish on the highway.
The Hyundai Kona has modern styling and some soft-touch materials that make it a comfortable crossover to spend time in.
The Toyota C-HR has unique styling and mostly quality materials, but there are some hard plastics on the center console.
Hyundai Kona vs. Honda HR-V
The Hyundai Kona has a potent engine for its size. The base motor puts out 147 horsepower, but an optional upgraded engine makes 175 horsepower. Both motors give the Kona ample get-up-and-go.
The Honda HR-V has only one powertrain - a 141-horsepower four-cylinder engine that's paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. It feels underpowered when you're accelerating from a standstill as well as while merging and passing vehicles on the highway.
The Hyundai Kona is loaded with handy standard features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, remote keyless entry, two USB ports, and a six-speaker stereo.
The Honda HR-V only comes with a 5-inch display, one USB port, and a four-speaker stereo.
