2024 Hyundai Kona vs 2024 Subaru Crosstrek


Overview

The 2024 Hyundai Kona and Subaru Crosstrek are two contenders in the subcompact SUV market. One is more stylish and usable while the other offers durable practicality. If you are considering them, here is how they compare.



On-Road Driving

Kona is equipped with a 2.0-liter 147 horsepower engine that has more zest than Subaru Crosstrek's 152-horsepower 2.0-liter powerplant. The difference becomes even more clear with the Kona's 1.6-liter turbo versus the Crosstrek's 2.5-liter engine. While Subaru's Crosstrek offers a smooth ride, the Kona is the quicker, more agile, and quieter model.




Fuel Efficiency

Both SUVs are quite fuel-efficient for small SUVs. The Kona 4WD 2.0-liter engine gets 34 mpg on the highway and 29 mpg in the city. Meanwhile, the Crosstrek has an EPA-estimated 33 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg in the city. Fuel efficiency depends on whether you opt for front-wheel or all-wheel drive.



Interior Design and Cargo

The 2024 Hyundai Kona has the same seating capacity as the Subaru Crosstrek. Both can carry up to 5 passengers. However, Kona offers rear passengers more space than the Crosstrek. You get 63.7 cubic feet of cargo space by folding down the Kona's rear seat. Meanwhile, the Crosstrek offers a respectable 55.3 cubic feet.

Kona impresses with a 12.3-inch touchscreen, which Hyundai has nicely integrated into a digital gauge cluster. This creates the appearance of a single screen across the dashboard. Meanwhile, the 2024 Crosstrek maintains a simple, sturdy interior with an 11.6-inch touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard. The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is comfortable and economical. However, our winner is the 2024 Hyundai Kona. This subcompact crossover has a flashy design, spacious interior, and generous cargo space.
