2022 Kia Seltos vs. 2022 Hyundai Kona

If you want to get an SUV but want a vehicle that is still compact, then a crossover is what you're looking for. You should consider two models: the 2022 Kia Seltos and the 2022 Hyundai Kona.

The Kia vs. Hyundai rivalry has been going on for years. The two Korean car manufacturers are always trying to outdo one another. Now, they have taken the battle to the world of crossovers with the Seltos vs. Kona contest.

The Seltos is a relatively new player in the SUV market. But it's already making waves with its excellent features. If you want to get the Seltos, you can go to DELLA Kia in Plattsburgh, NY.

Interior Comparison

If you're looking for a vehicle for a growing family, the Seltos is the better choice. The Seltos has a bigger passenger space than the Kona. The Seltos also has more front and rear headroom, front and rear hip room, rear legroom, and rear shoulder room than the Kona.

The Seltos' rear seats recline, offering greater comfort for long trips. The Kona's rear seats don't recline. Sitting on the rear seats of the Kona can also be quite uncomfortable if you're tall.

Cargo volume is another area where the Seltos excels. It has more space for stuff than the Kona, with the rear seats up or folded. The Kia SUV is ideal for family trips and supply runs. It can hold several of your luggage, grocery bags, sports equipment, and more.

Thanks to its roominess and wide-opening doors, it's easy to get in and out of the Seltos. This vehicle is for you if you're a fan of minimalism. It has a simple and practical cabin with plenty of advanced tech features. Kona's interior is made mostly of plastic, providing a cheap feeling to the vehicle.

You'll be impressed by the 10.25-inch touchscreen of the Seltos. It has crisp graphics and intuitive controls. There's also a secondary screen that shows the single-zone climate settings.

Performance Comparison

The Seltos is surprisingly quick, especially the Seltos SX with its turbocharged engine. It can go from zero to 60 mph in 8.1 seconds, an astounding feat for this class. This means that this vehicle can easily get up to highway speeds. This vehicle also has a smooth transmission that shifts quickly. The Kona's transmission is OK, but you can sometimes feel an occasional hesitation when you try to pull away. The steering also doesn't provide much feel for the road.

Safety Features Comparison

The base model of the Seltos comes with standard driver aids. It has forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, driver attention warning, and automatic high beams. The Kona doesn't have the last two features.

If you're a stickler for safety, then the Seltos is a better choice. You'll love the adaptive cruise control feature found in higher trims. Some people find it too conservative with its following distances. But at least you know it's going to keep you safe.
