Both models offer standard features like:

• Lane Keeping Assist
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection
• Lane Following Assist
• Driver Attention Warning
• High Beam Assist

Another standard feature on both models is Rear Occupant Alert, which will remind you to check the rear seats before exiting the car. Safe Exit Warning is another feature you’ll appreciate as it makes sure the coast is clear before you open your door.

Still, it’s the Hyundai Kona that goes the extra mile to ensure the safety of everyone on board. It does this by providing a standard feature that looks out for you, even in those hard-to-see areas.

The Kona comes standardly equipped with two additional features that are only available options in the Seltos: Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. These two features work in tandem to alert you when it detects traffic in one of your blind spots, so you’ll know when it’s safe—or not—to change lanes, merge, or back out of a parking spot or driveway.

Whether you’re in the car for a short commute or a long road trip, you’ll have impressive technology features to use with either model. The Kona and the Seltos each come standard with:

• Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto™

Even so, the Hyundai Kona’s smartphone integration is wireless, while drivers of the Kia Seltos will need to remember to pack a cord.

Fortunately, both models offer available wireless device charging, making it easier than ever to keep your smartphone fully powered when you’re on the go.

Although both models feature a full-color central display as their infotainment hub, there’s a major difference: The Kona has a standard 12.3-inch screen, while the one in the Seltos is a mere eight inches. Although you can upgrade the display size in the Kia, it maxes out at 10.25 inches, still over two inches smaller than the one standardly equipped in the Hyundai.

Plus, you’ll have more connectivity options with the Hyundai Kona. Although both the Kona and the Seltos have access to SiriusXM® Satellite Radio, it’s only standard in the Kona, requiring an upgrade in the Seltos. Plus, only the Hyundai Kona provides HD Radio™, yet another standard feature that’s unavailable in the Kia Seltos.

In both models, you’ll find a variety of features that will make you feel welcome, even as you venture away from home. As the driver, you require comfort. The Kona and Seltos accommodate with their standard 6-way adjustable driver’s seats. Go on, settle into your perfect position.

For those chilly early mornings or cool nights, both models offer heated front seats as an available feature. When temperatures start to climb, activate either SUV’s available ventilated front seats.

Both models also offer an available power sunroof to let in some natural light and fresh air. With this sunroof, though, you might find more passenger room inside the Kona:

While the Kona and the Seltos are similar in legroom, you’ll have nearly an inch more headroom and over an inch more shoulder room in the Hyundai Kona, helping the Hyundai stand head and shoulders above the Kia. When you’re on long trips, this extra room could make a huge difference.
