When you’re on the search for a sporty compact SUV that’s ready to zip around Dearborn and Detroit, there’s a good chance you’re considering either a Hyundai Kona or a Subaru Crosstrek. After all, they’re known for delivering impressive performance, technology, and safety features, but ultimately, which is going to be the right fit for you?
In order to make answering that question as simple as possible, our team at LaFontaine Hyundai created this handy breakdown of the 2022 Hyundai Kona vs. 2021 Subaru Crosstrek. Now, let’s see how these two models compare!
PASSENGERS
STANDARD TRANSMISSION
WIRELESS CHARGING PAD
The 2022 Hyundai Kona and 2021 Subaru Crosstrek come with similarly impressive engines. Both options feature 2.0L 4-cylinder engines that will create a strong, powerful performance. So, you’ll have a similar experience in terms of power and acceleration behind the wheel of the Kona and Crosstrek.
Additionally, both of these vehicles come with similar transmissions as both feature 6-speed options. While both standard transmissions are 6-speed, there is a significant difference between them. The transmission of the Kona is an automatic transmission with SHIFTRONICÒ technology while the transmission of the Crosstrek is a manual. The 6-speed automatic of the Kona should provide you with an easier, seamless driving experience.
The Kona also has another available transmission in some trim levels. This available 7-speed EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission isn’t available on the Subaru Crosstrek and could help take your engine performance to the next level when equipped.
Inside the cabins of the 2022 Kona and 2021 Crosstrek, you’ll find five spacious seats and more than 45 cubic feet of max cargo space. Take advantage of the 60/40 split-folding rear seats in both models to achieve the perfect passenger-to-cargo ratio.
The Hyundai Kona has the Crosstrek beat when it comes to convenience, though. This model offers a dual-level cargo floor for ideal storage accommodations, as well as an available Heads-up Display. The latter projects important driving information right to your line of sight, so you don’t have to look away from the road in front of you.
The Hyundai Kona also has an available wireless personal charging pad to keep all your devices charged up without cords. Unfortunately, you won’t get this feature, the Heads-up Display, or the dual-level cargo floor in the Subaru Crosstrek.
The Hyundai Kona and Subaru Crosstrek both go above and beyond to keep you and your passengers cool, calm, and connected no matter where you’re heading with impressive safety packages.
However, the Kona comes standard with more features, including:
While the Crosstrek also offers an array of active safety features, many of the driver-assistive features are not standard.
