Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai Kona offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Kia EV6, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Hyundai Kona and the Kia EV6.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Hyundai Kona is a better financial choice over the Kia EV6, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Kona is much slimmer than the Kia EV6, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Hyundai Kona, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Kia EV6.

Handling
The Hyundai Kona has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Kia EV6, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai Kona has a lot less horsepower than the Kia EV6.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Hyundai Kona does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia EV6.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Kona and the Kia EV6. With the Hyundai Kona, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia EV6.
