Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Cherokee 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 Cherokee.

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). Whether you pick the Hyundai Kona EV or the Jeep Cherokee, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Kona EV is much slimmer than the Jeep Cherokee, 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 Jeep Cherokee.

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

Performance
The Hyundai Kona EV has a little more horsepower than the Jeep Cherokee.

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

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 Jeep Cherokee. The Hyundai Kona EV has less cargo space than the Jeep Cherokee, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
