Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai Kona offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Jeep Compass, 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 Jeep Compass.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Hyundai Kona as you will with the Jeep Compass, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). When looking only at MSRP, the Hyundai Kona will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Jeep Compass.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Kona is much slimmer than the Jeep Compass, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Hyundai Kona takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Jeep Compass.

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

Performance
The Hyundai Kona has a little less horsepower than the Jeep Compass.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Hyundai Kona doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Jeep Compass.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Hyundai Kona and the Jeep Compass. The Hyundai Kona has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Jeep Compass.
