Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Audi Q5 than in the Hyundai Kona EV. The Hyundai Kona EV will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Audi Q5.

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). The Audi Q5 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Kona EV, which has a much lower MSRP.

Handling
The Audi Q5 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Hyundai Kona EV, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
