AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Hyundai Kona and Volkswagen T-Roc provide good visibility that makes them easy to drive in traffic, and both are quiet on the motorway with little wind or road noise. When you want to adjust the temperature on the move, the Kona features dashboard buttons that make it quick and easy, whereas the T-Roc has no physical climate controls. In the back, the Kona is fairly wide and not too cramped for three people side-by-side. The T-Roc, however, is a bit of a squeeze for three adults, with a narrow and quite hard centre seat that leaves it best suited for carrying two.
