Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai Kona offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan Rogue, with comparable head- and legroom. The Hyundai Kona offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Nissan Rogue, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
With the Nissan Rogue, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Hyundai Kona, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). Clearly, the Hyundai Kona is a better financial choice over the Nissan Rogue, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Hyundai Kona is about the same width as the Nissan Rogue. If you go with the Hyundai Kona, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Nissan Rogue.

Handling
The Hyundai Kona has the same turning radius as the Nissan Rogue, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai Kona has a lot less horsepower than the Nissan Rogue.

Powertrain
The Hyundai Kona has much lower torque than the Nissan Rogue, 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 and the Nissan Rogue. The Hyundai Kona has less cargo space than the Nissan Rogue, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
