Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Hyundai Kona than the Nissan Rogue. The Nissan Rogue offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Kona, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
With the Nissan Rogue, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Kona, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Hyundai Kona will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Nissan Rogue.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Kona is about the same width as the Nissan Rogue. 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 Nissan Rogue.

Handling
The Hyundai Kona has the same turning radius as the Nissan Rogue, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

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

Powertrain
The Hyundai Kona has much lower torque than the Nissan Rogue, 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 Nissan Rogue. The Hyundai Kona has less cargo space than the Nissan Rogue, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
