Compare 2021 Subaru Crosstrek vs 2021 Hyundai Kona

Serving Cumming, GA.

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek is an impressive car by many standards. The newest Crosstrek ranks #2 in its class of extra-small SUVs. When you contact Troncalli Subaru to ask about setting up an online test drive for the Crosstrek, you'll have the chance to ask any questions that you have about the Crosstrek and its amenities. Our helpful staff will happily explain all the great features that the Crosstrek offers, including its high ground clearance, and its new amenities for 2021 including a more powerful 2.5L engine with four cylinders. The Crosstrek also has some more standard driver-assist safety aids in 2021 if you get the Crosstrek with an automatic transmission. Some light exterior design changes are in the works as well with a restyled bumper and an upgraded front grille. The Crosstrek rivals the 2021 Hyundai Kona, but the Crosstrek outperforms the Kona with its exceptional handling and trail-tackling credentials. The interior has more space than the Kona's, and its design is more upscale overall.

Performance and Handling

The Subaru Crosstrek at Troncalli Subaru has multiple engines to give you the optimal choice. The first engine that you can get for the Crosstrek is a 2.0L with four cylinders. The base engine powers the first two Crosstrek trims, while the two higher-end Crosstrek trims have an upgraded 2.5L that produces 182 HP instead. At a minimum, the Crosstrek's engine delivers 152 HP, while you'll get up to 182 HP with the second engine. A six-speed manual is the standard transmission, while the Sport and Limited are equipped with an automatic transmission. The automatic transmission is available for all other trims. The Hyundai also has two engines, but neither of its engines give you as much power as the Crosstrek. The base Hyundai engine delivers 147 HP, while you'll only get 175 HP out of the second one. A manual transmission is not offered for the Hyundai Kona.

Interior and Features

When you contact us for an online test drive of the Subaru Crosstrek at Troncalli Subaru you'll see how impressive and upscale the Subaru's interior is. The Subaru has a well-made cabin all around, while the Hyundai Kona's has more plastic materials that don't give it the same high-quality feel. The Subaru also has more storage space in its cargo area at 55 cubic feet, while the Kona's storage space is much less. The Subaru has automatic climate control at the base level, along with a healthy technology package that includes a 6.5-inch display, a four-speaker audio system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a USB port. Heated front seats come with the Premium, which also adds two more speakers to its sound system. A leather steering wheel is also included, and you'll get two USB ports. A sunroof and more safety aids come with the automatic transmission. The Sport trim, new in 2021, has more USB ports, keyless entry, simulated leather seats, and yellow contrast stitching. The Limited gets leather seats, an eight-inch infotainment system, and more safety aids. The Hyundai does not have USB ports as a standard amenity, and it has fewer standard safety aids compared to the Subaru.

Style

Subaru gives its vehicles some of the most distinguishable exterior designs in the auto industry, which is also true of the Crosstrek. When you book a Subaru Crosstrek online test drive through our dealership, you'll get a good glimpse at the car's exterior from front to back. The Crosstrek leads the way in ground clearance with 8.7 inches of height. That's more than you will get with the Hyundai, making the Subaru the go-to vehicle for off-road adventures where ground clearance is necessary. The Subaru has roof rails and 17-inch wheels, while the second trim adds heated side mirrors. Fog lights are also included on the second trim. Roof rails aren't added until the second trim of the Hyundai.
