Smart, sporty, and the right size to fit into the tightest parking spots—it’s easy to fall in love with the 2020 Hyundai Kona’s cool design.
In the front, the grille demands attention with subtle chrome framing the iconic “H” badge. Across the side, gentle curves and elegant lines craft a sleek silhouette. Opt for the available 18-inch wheels, and your ride’s sure to turn a few heads.
Jump inside and get behind the wheel for an elated ride anywhere you drive. In fact, step on the accelerator, and you’ll instantly realize how the 2020 Kona won the 2020 Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buys and the 2020 KBB Best Buy Awards.
But even with these awards in mind, are you curious to know how the 2020 Hyundai Kona stacks up against its competition? After all, the Nissan Kicks also offers a spunky and unique design. To find out which compact SUV comes out on top, let’s take a look at the 2020 Hyundai Kona vs Nissan Kicks.
Already interested in the 2020 Kona? Stop by Brandon Hyundai in Tampa to take it for a test drive.
There’s no limit to adventure when you’re cruising in the 2020 Hyundai Kona. The standard 2.0L inline 4-cylinder motor brings 146 horsepower and 132 lb-ft torque to all your drives for an exhilarating ride anywhere.
When you’re in the mood for extra power, the available 1.6L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine brings an uncompromised 175 horsepower 195 lb-ft torque starting at 1500 rpm for a quick and nimble ride anywhere you cruise. Whether traversing the local bustling Tampa streets or unleashing all your 2020 Kona’s potential on the I-4, you’re in for a fun, powerful, and responsive ride everywhere—not to mention, this motor allows you to cruise up to 175 mph on a track, so just imagine how all that power will help your commutes and adventures.
Don’t let the rain and icy roads block your fun. With available all-wheel drive, your 2020 Hyundai Kona sends power to your rear wheels to help you handle slick roads with full control and finesse. By comparison, the 2020 Nissan Kicks offers one motor: a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine with 122 horsepower and 114 lb-ft torque starting at 4000 RPMs. For daily commutes, it’s enough power to get you to the office or through Tampa with ease.
When it comes to the drive, the 2020 Hyundai Kona drifts ahead in this matchup for offering two motors with slightly more power, and for offering AWD as an option for full grip and traction.
Take a seat inside the 2020 Hyundai Kona, and you’re greeted to endless fun and comfort. Available leather seats create upscale vibes and add a cozy touch to your commutes with an available 3-stage heated function.
Packing for your adventures is easy when you have 45.8 cubic feet of cargo room with your seats folded. It’s enough room for groceries, backpacks, furniture, and even a full bicycle.
For your infotainment, connect with your favorite media on the standard 7-inch color touchscreen—complete with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. Lost without phone service? Not an issue when you opt for the available 8-inch touch display with navigation.
Take a ride in the 2020 Nissan Kicks, and you’ll also find standard cloth seating and available Prima-Tex™-appointed seats for a leather-like look. The touchscreen maxes out at 7”, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as available features. For fitting in luggage, cargo, and all else, you’ll have 32.3 cubic feet of space with your seats folded.
If you’re going for standard trims, the Hyundai Kona sweeps this round with standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and 13.6 cubic feet of extra cargo room, which could be the difference between fitting in that end-table you fell in love with or bringing an extra bike for a weekend outing.
When you’re looking at available options, the Hyundai Kona still edges out with a larger touchscreen and genuine leather-trimmed seats.
Drive easy in the 2020 Hyundai Kona, knowing that standard driver-assists guide every ride. With Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), you’ll receive audio and visual warnings each time you veer out of your lane without a signal. To help you re-center, you’ll feel gentle corrective steering.
Avoiding fender benders becomes easy with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA). Upon detecting a potential collision with a car or pedestrian, your Hyundai slows and sends you an alert. If you don’t react, your 2020 Hyundai Kona hits the brakes at the right time to help you steer clear of accidents. Starting to feel sleepy? Driver Attention Warning (DAW) monitors all your driving habits, and sends you visual and audio warnings upon detecting drowsiness and distracted driving. You can then pull over and take a break to reset your focus.
The Nissan Kicks also isn’t shy when it comes to bringing safety to your drives. Standard Lane Departure Warnings and Automatic Emergency Braking help keep your drives on track. However, the addition of DAW on the 2020 Kona helps the Hyundai SUV win this round.
When searching for a good looking, fun, and comfortable compact SUV, it’s hard to go wrong with the 2020 Hyundai Kona. After all, there’s a reason this Hyundai placed in the 2020 KBB Best Buy Awards and the 2020 Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buys.
