WORSE BETTER!
Hyundai Kona
The Hyundai Kona is one of the better subcompact SUVs. Its
base 2.0-liter engine is adequate around town but can feel slug-
gish at times. We got 26 mpg with it in our AWD Kona. The uplevel
1.6-liter turbo is more powerful, but power delivery is not as smooth
or predictable. Nimble handling makes the Kona feel very responsive
in corners. The ride, however, is stiff, and the cabin gets loud with
road and engine noise. The controls are super-easy to use. Available
safety features include forward collision warning with automatic
emergency braking, rear cross traffic warning, and driver attention
warning. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is support-
ed. The new electric-powered, front-wheel-drive version is quick and
quiet, and has an estimated 258-mile range.Overall Score 73-78

04Hyundai Ioniq
The Ioniq is the first direct challenger to the Toyota Prius. Evoking
the Prius silhouette and hatchback configuration, the Ioniq hybrid
matches it as a fuel-sipper with 52 mpg overall. Power comes from a
1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine, which, paired with the electric drive,
puts out a combined 139 hp. The six-speed dual-clutch transmission
isn’t the smoothest, and there’s some delay off the line. Like other
hybrids, it can drive on electric power at low speeds. Handling lacks
agility, and the ride is a bit unsettled but unobjectionable. Our SEL
had unusually long stopping distances. A number of safety features,
including automatic emergency braking and blind spot warning, are
available. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility is standard.
There are also plug-in and fully electric versions.Overall Score 68
