Comparison Review

Convenience
The Toyota 4Runner requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Hyundai Kona, making it more convenient to drive.

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 Toyota 4Runner, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Kona is much slimmer than the Toyota 4Runner, 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 Toyota 4Runner.

Handling
The Hyundai Kona has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Toyota 4Runner, 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 Toyota 4Runner.

Powertrain
The Hyundai Kona has much lower torque than the Toyota 4Runner, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Kona and the Toyota 4Runner.
