If you're looking to add some style and versatility to your daily drives, but need something with smaller space requirements, the Hyundai Kona is a perfect fit. With its sleek design, spacious interior, and available turbocharged engine, Kona is a breath of fresh air in a segment that has gotten a bit stale. It offers flexible accommodations for passengers and cargo, plus tons of standard and available features. And with its convenient compact dimensions, it's ideal for navigating Arlington, VA's busy streets. Though still a relatively new model, Kona is shaking up the industry, which means it's bound to draw comparisons to established nameplates like the Kia Sportage. While the Sportage is a slightly larger model, that could be a detriment to Alexandria VA drivers who need something more maneuverable. And when you compare these two models head-to-head, Kona emerges victorious in several essential areas. Want to learn more about how these compact crossovers match up? Check out our Hyundai Kona vs. Kia Sportage comparison page. Here are a few highlights: Despite a smaller exterior, Kona makes better use of its interior space, offering more front headroom than Sportage. Sportage is in a larger class than Kona and has a stronger engine to match. However, when comparing available turbocharged engines, Kona's acceleration keeps pace, thanks to its lighter curb weight. Kona is also much more efficient than Sportage. With its standard engine, Kona achieves EPA-estimated fuel-economy ratings of 27 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. And even with the available turbocharged engine, the numbers don't change much (EPA-estimated 28/32/30).
