Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Compass than in the Hyundai Kona EV, 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 EV and the Jeep Compass.

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 Hyundai Kona EV is somewhat more expensive than the Jeep Compass.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Kona EV is much slimmer than the Jeep Compass, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Hyundai Kona EV is slightly shorter than the Jeep Compass, which may make it easier to park.

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

Performance

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