Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Tucson than in the Hyundai Kona, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Hyundai Kona and the Hyundai Tucson.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Hyundai Kona as you will with the Hyundai Tucson, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Hyundai Kona is a better financial choice over the Hyundai Tucson, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Kona is much slimmer than the Hyundai Tucson, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Hyundai Kona, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Hyundai Tucson.

Handling
The Hyundai Kona has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Hyundai Tucson, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai Kona has a lot less horsepower than the Hyundai Tucson.

Powertrain
The Hyundai Kona has much lower torque than the Hyundai Tucson, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Kona and the Hyundai Tucson. The Hyundai Kona has significantly less cargo capacity than the Hyundai Tucson.
