Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Toyota Venza than in the Hyundai Kona EV, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Hyundai Kona EV offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Toyota Venza, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

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 Toyota Venza.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Kona EV is much slimmer than the Toyota Venza, 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 Toyota Venza.

The Hyundai Kona EV has a little less horsepower than the Toyota Venza.

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