If you're looking for a new SUV, there are a lot of options for you to consider around Wickliffe, Ohio, and it can be hard to narrow down your choices. Here at Ken Ganley Subaru Wickliffe we carry a lot of great new vehicles like the Subaru Crosstrek. But how does it compare to an SUV like the Hyundai Kona?
Technology
The base Crosstrek model provides Bedford, Ohio families with dual 7.0-inch touchscreens, while every Kona model offers a single 12.3-inch touchscreen. Both come with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. On all other trims, the Crosstrek comes standard with an 11.6-inch Multimedia Plus touchscreen infotainment system with optional built-in navigation.
Interior
When it comes to seating, both the Kona and Crosstrek offer cloth seats on their base models. At higher trims, the Crosstrek offers real leather seats while the Kona has leatherette-trimmed seats. The Crosstrek also offers StarTex®-trimmed seats on its mid-level trims, which are water repellent, making them easier to clean after a day of adventuring around Painesville, Ohio.
Performance
The Hyundai Kona is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces up to 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. The Crosstrek edges out the Kona with up to 152 horsepower and up to 145 pound-feet of torque from its 2.0-liter Subaru BOXER® engine. Across all Crosstrek models, Cleveland, Ohio drivers also get Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which provides improved handling in a wide range of road and weather conditions. The Kona, however, offers all-wheel drive as an optional addon.
Fuel Economy
Their fuel-economy looks very similar at first glance The Subaru Crosstrek driving up to 34 mpg on the highway with standard all-wheel drive, while the Kona only manages 34 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive. Equipped with all-wheel drive, the Kona only gets up to 29 mpg on the highway.
