Honda CR-V vs Hyundai Kona

2020 CR-V vs 2020 Kona: Performance

Lively and ready for action, a new Honda CR-V rules the roadways with its 1.5L turbocharged engine. This base engine delivers up to 190 horsepower for precise and exhilarating acceleration and 179 lb-ft of torque for the strength you need to prove you’re in charge.

If you’re looking for something a little lighter with an elevated efficiency, a hybrid configuration is also available for the CR-V, allowing you to skip visiting the pump more often.

The Hyundai Kona is still a blast to drive, but it lacks the turbocharged capabilities found in its 2.0L 4-cylinder powertrain. This results in less horsepower (147) and less torque (132 lb-ft), giving you a not-as-spirited drive. Plus, there is no hybrid engine available for this model.

CR-V vs Kona: Interior Space

If you’re looking for plenty of room for both passengers and cargo, the 2020 Honda CR-V may be your best bet. While both of their interiors offer a generously spacious cabin, the Honda pulls through with more headroom and legroom as well as extra cargo room. See for yourself:

As you can see, not only will your passengers be able to spread out more in the CR-V, but you’ll be able to pack up the cargo much more as well.

Honda vs Hyundai: Safety

Both SUVs fare well when it comes to safety, offering a plethora of active and passive features that keep you, your travel companions, and the vehicle more secure on the road. Plus, each of these SUVs also comes standard with a suite of advanced driver-assistive technologies.

In the 2020 Hyundai Kona, you’ll find Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and other driving aids on every trim. These systems help boost your confidence and assurance.

On the other hand, the Honda CR-V takes their confidence-boosting driving aids to the next level. Along with Lane Keeping Assist and Forward Collision Warning systems similar to the Kona, you’ll have even more standard driver-assistive technologies on your side:

• Lane Departure Warning
• Collision Mitigation Braking System™
• Road Departure Mitigation System
• Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow
• Automatic High-Beam Headlights
