For the perfect balance between form and function, it’s no surprise that the crossover SUV market is exploding. There’s so many options out there, it can seem daunting to make a decision about which crossover SUV you should buy. Both the Hyundai Kona near Cleveland and the Hyundai Venue near Akron are incredible compact SUVs, due to their design, versatility, comfort, and capability. To help you choose between these two models, Ron Marhofer Hyundai of Green has compiled this comparison of these compact Hyundai SUVs.
2023 Hyundai Venue vs. 2023 Hyundai Kona: Safety & Technology
Both Hyundai compact SUVs feature 8-inch touchscreen infotainment systems with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ functionality, as well as integrated smartphone features: the Venue features Hyundai’s BLUELINK® Connected Car System for free for three years, and the Kona features the Hyundai Digital Key, enabling you to use your smartphone to unlock your car, and share it with family or friends.
Both of these Hyundai SUVs near Canton have incredible safety features so you can drive confidently around Green, Akron, or the rest of Northeast Ohio. The Hyundai Kona features Driver Attention Warning, Lane Keeping Assist Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA. The Venue features these systems, as well as Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Assistance, and more.
Hyundai Kona vs. Hyundai Venue: Performance & Capability
The Hyundai Venue is the smaller of these two compact SUVs, but it still has plenty of get-up-and-go for those Green streets. Its Smartstream 4-cylinder 1.6L engine powers at 121hp or 113 lb.-ft. of torque, and Hyundai’s Intelligent Variable Transmission smartly shifts between high-power and high-speed environments with ease.
For a more powerful engine in a slightly larger form-factor, the Hyundai Kona’s 2.0L 4-cylinder engine can be turbocharged for even more power. The Kona’s base engine makes 147hp and 132 lb.-ft. of torque, while the turbocharged engine can pull 195 hp and 195 lb.-ft. of torque for roaring ahead of traffic or cruising on the highway. The Kona also features available All Wheel Drive Active On-Demand for even more power and control.
Hyundai Venue vs. Hyundai Kona: Passenger & Cargo Space
Both the Hyundai Venue near Kent and the Hyundai Kona can seat up to five adults, though everyone will have a bit more space in the larger Kona: it has a total of 113.3 cubic feet of interior volume, compared to the Venue’s 110.6. Both have comfortable seating, but for the ultimate in style, the Hyundai Kona N has red gloss black and red interior accents, along with aluminum-alloy sport pedals, which are sure to impress your passengers.
