Comfort
The Hyundai Kona offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Subaru Forester, with comparable head- and legroom.
The Subaru Forester will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Kona.
Convenience
With the Subaru Forester, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Kona, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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 Forester.

The Hyundai Kona is about the same width as the Subaru Forester.
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 Subaru Forester.
Handling
The Hyundai Kona has the same turning radius as the Subaru Forester, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
Performance
The Hyundai Kona has a little more horsepower than the Subaru Forester.
Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Hyundai Kona transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Subaru Forester.
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 Forester.
