2025 Hyundai Kona Performance Feature

Strong Efficiency That Doesn’t Compromise

Whether you're commuting through city streets or heading out on a weekend adventure, the 2025 Hyundai Kona is designed to deliver strong fuel economy without sacrificing performance. The Hyundai Kona’s 2.0L 4-cylinder engine produces 147 horsepower, paired with smooth, responsive handling via its Shift-by-Cable transmission and available All-Wheel Drive.

You’ll get up to 34 MPG on the highway and 29 MPG in the city with the FWD configuration, which is perfect for daily drives and long-distance travel alike. By comparison, the Subaru Crosstrek’s standard AWD setup returns a similar 34 highway MPG but slightly less city efficiency at 27 MPG. If saving at the pump is a priority for your routine, the Kona offers more flexibility with your drivetrain and fuel economy.

2025 Hyundai Kona Tech Feature

Tech That Puts You in Control

One of the first things you’ll notice inside the 2025 Kona is the stunning 12.3-inch touchscreen display. It’s sleek, intuitive, and loaded with features like wireless Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, SiriusXM, and HD Radio™ with no cords required and everything right at your fingertips.

The Crosstrek comes with a dual 7-inch multimedia system, which, while functional, doesn’t offer quite the same ease of use or modern visual impact as the Kona’s all-in-one display. With Hyundai’s large, centralized screen, accessing maps, playlists, and vehicle settings feels more natural, especially when you’re on the move.

2025 Hyundai Kona Interior Feature

Comfort and Flexibility You Can Feel

Both vehicles comfortably seat five, but the Kona gives you a little more breathing room in the areas that matter most. Inside, the Kona offers 101.2 cubic feet of passenger volume, which is slightly more than the Crosstrek’s 100.5 cubic feet. That extra space, combined with a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat and reclining rear seats, adds up to a smoother ride for both driver and passengers.

When it comes to cargo, the Kona also has the edge in practicality. You’ll get up to 63.7 cubic feet of space with the rear seats folded down, that is nearly 10 more cubic feet than the Crosstrek provides. That means more room for weekend gear, grocery hauls, or whatever life throws your way.

The Clear Choice for Practical Performance

The 2025 Hyundai Kona makes a compelling case for itself with its efficient design, class-leading tech, and versatile interior. While the Subaru Crosstrek remains a solid option, the Kona brings everyday usability and modern comfort together in a way that’s hard to beat. Ready to see the difference for yourself?
