A lot going on with the front end, but Hyundai's designers managed to tie it all together. I usually don't care for cladding around the wheel openings, but feel it works here.
The Honda has cleaner styling. The Kona in lime green. The truncated rear end looks sporty, but isn't good for cargo volume.
Hyundai's designers weren't nearly as adventurous inside the Kona. Not entirely a bad thing. Aside from the "stitching," an artful interior. I especially like the curvy center console.
For some relief from the blackness, opt for the lime green or gray exterior. Typical of Hyundai, well-designed controls.
The Kona's front seats are much more comfortable than the HR-V's. Nearly the tightest rear seat in the class. A comfortable height off the floor, though.
Not much cargo area for a crossover. But possibly enough for your needs. A common sight in many Hyundai and Kia models.
