Driving Experience of the Kona vs HR-V 

First, we wanted to give you an idea of what it will be like driving these two vehicles. The Honda HR-V is powered by a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 141 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. This is combined with the smooth shifting of a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). You can also improve the traction for a more controlled drive in the Honda HR-V with its available all-wheel drive (AWD) system.

The Kona, on the other hand, offers a more dynamic driving experience. To start, it supplies more power to the wheels for lively and responsive handling wherever you go. You can either get the standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine or the available 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with the 2021 Hyundai Kona.

The standard engine in the Kona, which is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, produces 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. The available turbocharged engine pushes out 175 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. It is also mated with the spirited shifting of a 7-speed EcoShift® Dual Clutch Transmission. Enhancing your traction, whether driving through snow or uneven roads, the available AWD system in the Hyundai Kona will give you even more confidence when driving.

Safely Stay Connected 

Being able to safely use your phone while driving is a huge benefit some drivers just don’t want to pass up on. With Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, you can connect your smartphone to the multimedia system and watch that familiar interface display itself on the touchscreen.

With these features, you will have the ability to play the music from your phone through the vehicle’s audio system. You can even have the system read your text messages to you and ask it to call your friends to let them know you are on your way. This lets you stay connected to your world while also keeping your eyes safely on the road and hands on the wheel.

Even use the maps application on your phone to make sure you find the fastest way to wherever you are going to meet up with everyone. The usefulness of these features comes standard with the 2021 Hyundai Kona. You can also find them in the HR-V, but they aren’t a standard feature across all trim levels.
