Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Kona EV than in the Lexus UX 250h. The Hyundai Kona EV will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus UX 250h.

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 EV will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Lexus UX 250h.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Kona EV is much slimmer than the Lexus UX 250h, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Hyundai Kona EV, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Lexus UX 250h.

Handling
The Hyundai Kona EV has the same turning radius as the Lexus UX 250h, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Hyundai Kona EV has a little more horsepower than the Lexus UX 250h.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Kona EV and the Lexus UX 250h.
