But, when you are looking at a subcompact crossover SUV you will have to decide whether the Hyundai Kona is a better option than the Ford Ecosport, the Toyota C-HR or the Honda HR-V.



 

Hyundai Kona vs. Ford Ecosport

  • The starting price for the Hyundai Kona is $19,500 which is about $500-less than the price of the Ford Ecosport.
  • The base engine on the Hyundai Kona, a 2.0L four-cylinder engine, is more powerful than the base engine on the Ford Ecosport. For a ride with more punch and pep, the Hyundai Kona also offers a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder engine which is more powerful than either engine on the Ford Ecosport.
  • The available 7-speed EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission helps to make the Hyundai Kona more efficient and smoother on the road than the six-speed transmission available on the Ford Ecosport
  • When it comes to interior comfort the Hyundai Kona far surpasses the Ford Ecosport. With available eight-way power seating, a heads-up display, and wireless charging will help to set this model apart

When you dig into the details between these two models you will quickly see that the Hyundai Kona is the best possible option available today. Even though the cost of a fully loaded Hyundai Kona is a bit more expensive, you will experience more quality, performance and confidence! Check out the Hyundai Kona today.


Hyundai Kona vs. Toyota C-HR

  • The Toyota C-HR only offers buyers one engine and that engine is far less powerful than the available 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is offered on the Hyundai Kona
  • If you need a car that is more capable the Hyundai Kona is the best option available because it offers you all-wheel drive which is not found on the Toyota option
  • The Hyundai Kona is the more spacious option around with more than three-inches of more space in the second row for passengers
  • Inside of the Hyundai Kona you will enjoy a level of comfort and luxury that is not found in the Toyota C-HR. Thanks to available features like a power driver's seat, heated front seats, leather seating, a premium audio system with eight-speakers, Apple CarPlayâ„¢, Android Autoâ„¢, and a heads-up display among many other features will ensure your comfort on the road more than ever before.


Hyundai Kona vs. Honda HR-V

  • The new Kona features a 2.0-liter inline-four engine capable of 147 horsepower, which becomes a 175 horsepower, 1.6-liter I4 in higher trims, turbocharged for a more powerful, confident ride. Honda HR-V offers only one engine, clocking in at only 141 horsepower. It lacks turbocharging, and therefore, a little bit of drive-time spirit.
  • Putting out 132 pound-feet of torque in base trims and rising to 195 pound-feet in higher trims, Kona has the turning and pulling power to get up and go. HR-V, on the other hand, delivers only 127 pound-feet.
  • A six-speed automatic transmission comes standard, with SHIFTRONIC® technology that adapts to your driving habits, rendering shifts among some of the smoothest around. However, if you'd like to lose the clutch fumble and the telltale bump of a torque converter, choose the optional seven-speed EcoShift® dual-clutch transmission (DCT) available in higher Kona trims. It provides smooth, fast, and nearly seamless upshifts. HR-V offers only a standard six-speed manual or an available CVT.
  • Kona gets better fuel economy in the city -- approximately 27 mpg by EPA estimated. The Honda competition gets only up to an EPA-estimated 25 mpg, making Kona the right choice for the extra mile.
  • Loads of driver-assistance features come standard and available throughout the Kona lineup, depending on trim. They range from blind-spot and rear cross-traffic collision warnings and lane change and lane keeping assist to forward collision-avoidance assist, pedestrian detection, and warnings for both driver attention and parking distance. That's wraparound protection you can count on. None of these are offered in Honda HR-V.
  • Kona is the roomier option for the trip, with more head, leg, and hip room up front, as well as better rear hip room -- all the places having extra matters.
  • 7- and 8-inch infotainment system options, are available, with optional navigation for directional help at higher trims and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard across the board, the latter providing a connection for your smartphone and letting you control it via the dash display. HR-V offers similarly equipped 5- and 7-inch infotainment systems, but without Apple and Android phone compatibility. So, with Kona, it's easier to stay in touch and entertained on the go.
