Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Kona than in the Subaru Crosstrek. The Subaru Crosstrek 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 Subaru Crosstrek, 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 Subaru Crosstrek.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Kona is a little wider than the Subaru Crosstrek, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Hyundai Kona is slightly shorter than the Subaru Crosstrek, which may make it easier to park.

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

Performance
The Hyundai Kona has a little less horsepower than the Subaru Crosstrek.

Powertrain
The Hyundai Kona has much lower torque than the Subaru Crosstrek, 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 Subaru Crosstrek. The Hyundai Kona has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Subaru Crosstrek.
