The compact SUV class provides drivers near Farmington Hills, Ann Arbor, and Southfield, Michigan, with a large selection of vehicles, including the Hyundai Kona and the Nissan Kicks. You can look forward to an efficient and convenient drive in the compact SUV class, so finding the model that’s right for you will make drives even better.

In this comparison, put together by our team at Feldman Hyundai of New Hudson, you’ll learn more about these models and which one is right for you!

Hyundai Kona vs Nissan Kicks: Pep, Performance & Efficiency

Under the hood of the Hyundai Kona, you’ll find either a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine or a dynamic 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The latter option gives you the best of both worlds with 195 lb-ft of torque, 175 horsepower, and an EPA-estimated 28 city/32 highway MPG.*

Plus, the Hyundai Kona can be equipped with an available all-wheel drive (AWD) system with a multi-link rear suspension. This system monitors your driving conditions and automatically adjusts torque distribution to ensure you have a great grip of the road.

In the Nissan Kicks, you’ll have one engine across all trims that pumps out 122 horsepower. Additionally, you’ll have to do with just a front-wheel drive (FWD) system—no trim level of this model offers an AWD system.

Comfort & Expansive Interior Space

Both the Hyundai Kona and the Nissan Kicks offer five seats, so you can bring your whole crew along for the ride. When you have everyone in the cabin, you’ll want to make sure they are comfortable.

The Hyundai Kona brings the heat when it comes to comfort with available leather seating surfaces, 3-step heated front seats, and an 8-way power driver’s seat. You won’t find all of these same features in the Nissan Kicks.

When your family and friends come along for the ride, interior space is essential. The Nissan Kicks has a passenger volume of 93.9 cubic feet, while the Hyundai Kona has a passenger volume of 94.1 cubic feet. These SUVs are comparable in this department, so you won’t be missing out on room for riders in either model.

Additionally, the cabin of the Hyundai Kona offers 60/40 split-folding second-row seats. When all three are folded down, you’ll have 45.8 total cubic feet of cargo space to work with. Even with the rear seats folded in the Nissan Kicks, you’ll get just 32.3 total cubic feet of cargo space. If you need more space on your adventures, the Hyundai Kona gives you more.

Features for the Demands of Today’s Tech-Savvy World

When you’re out for a road trip, you’ll need to have technology that makes the journey entertaining and informative. The Nissan Kicks comes with a touchscreen-based infotainment system, with other features available outside of the base trim level.

The Hyundai Kona is ready for short or long journeys with an array of intuitive tech features in your arsenal. Standardly, you’ll get a 7-inch color touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth®, Android Auto™, and Apple CarPlay®. You can easily access messages, apps, music, and more while keeping your focus on the road. Upgrade this system to include turn-by-turn navigation on an 8-inch touchscreen.

The Hyundai Kona doesn’t stop there, though. This model also offers an available wireless device charging pad, as well as a Heads-up Display (HUD) that projects important driving information right into your line of sight in the driver’s seat.
