Compare the Hyundai Kona vs Ford Kuga
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you want maximum carrying capacity, the Ford Kuga is longer, can tow more and provides a bigger boot than the Hyundai Kona, along with more space when the back seats are folded. Head onto twisty roads and the Kuga inspires confidence with minimal body lean and a surprising amount of steering feel, whereas the Kona has light steering that leaves you with little confidence in tyre grip. Both cars make pleasant motorway cruisers with remarkably quiet wind and road noise. If you opt for hybrid power, however, acceleration brings unwanted noise in both: the Kona hybrid's petrol engine can be a bit noisy, while the 2.5-litre hybrid Kuga sounds harsh. Inside, the Kona lets you tweak the cabin temperature quickly and easily on the move with physical buttons, whereas the Kuga relies on screen-based controls that are fiddly to use.
