Very few cars can match the crisp, smooth driving experience of the 2022 Hyundai Kona, with its bold styling and luxurious cabin. If you're researching the best subcompact SUVs to buy, you've likely already stumbled upon an array of competitors.
Choosing the right SUV is an important decision. That's why, at Rosen, we've done the hard work for you by compiling how the 2022 Kona compares to its competitors.
Hyundai Kona vs. Toyota CH-R
Overview: One of the biggest comparisons to the Kona is the Toyota CH-R. However, the Kona outshines the CH-R in a few critical areas. Most people searching for subcompact SUVs want a fuel-efficient vehicle that gets them the most bang for their buck. The Kona features better mileage with 29 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. In comparison, the CH-R only receives 27 mpg city and 31 mpg highway.
Furthermore, the Kona offers better power and performance. Its 1.6L Turbo inline engine produces 195 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. In contrast, the CH-R only receives 144 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque.
The Kona features more cargo space than the CH-R, making your daily commutes and road trips more relaxed. It also has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which the CH-R doesn't come standard with.
The Winner: There's no other way around it. The 2022 Hyundai Kona interior, exterior, and performance simply outshine the CH-R.
Hyundai Kona vs. Honda HR-V
Overview: These SUVs are excellent choices if you are searching for a crossover SUV. When it comes to performance, the Kona takes the cake. Powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, the HR-V generates 141 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. This engine powers all HR-V trim levels. On the other hand, the Kona is equipped with a standard 2.0-liter engine that provides 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft torque and an optional 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that generates 175 horsepower along with 195 lb-ft torque.
Â
In terms of infotainment, the Hyundai Kona has the advantage. On the Kona, Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoTM smartphone integration are standard, while they are available on the Honda HR-V, but at an additional charge.
Â
The Winner: The Hyundai Kona is the clear winner. They offer better performance, infotainment, and high-tech safety features to deliver the best ride possible.Â
Hyundai Kona vs. Chevrolet Trailblazer
Overview: While the Chevrolet Trailblazer is a worthy comparison, the Kona stands on top. What's apparent is their noticeable differences in technology and warranty.
The Kona has more advanced technology, such as a Hyundai Digital Key, Safe Exit Warning, Highway Driving Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Rear-Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist. However, the Trailblazer doesn't offer any of these features.Â
The Kona offers better performance with 147 horsepower at the base level and a combined EPA rating of 32 mpg. In contrast, the Trailblazer offers only 137 horsepower and a combined 30 mpg.Â
While the Trailblazer will release an electric model, they currently don't have one. Comparatively, the 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric is powered by a 64 kWh battery pack with a phenomenal 258 miles of driving range. With its one-pedal driving, you can maximize the driving range and quickly recharge through a DC-fast-charging station.
The Winner: In most areas, such as safety, warranty, and performance, the Kona has outdueled the Trailblazer.
