Performance
The 2025
Hyundai Kona provides adequate performance and stellar fuel economy. A
2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine comes standard with a respectable 147 horsepower
and no "shift shock" courtesy of a continuously variable transmission. This
combination means the Kona is capable of an impressively miserly 29 mpg in the
city and 34 mpg on the highway.
The story is
very similar in the 2025 Nissan Kicks. It also has a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder
engine mated to a continuously variable transmission. It produces less power
and torque than the Kona, rated at 141 horsepower and 140 pound-feet of torque.
We were surprised to find that even with the power deficit, the Kicks has
similar fuel economy to the Kona, rated at 28 mpg on the city and 35 mpg on the
highway.
Safety Features
Like other
Hyundai models, the Kona comes standard with a robust list of passive and
active safety features, such as:
● Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Warning
● Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist
● Forward Collision Assist with Pedestrian
Warning
● Lane Following Assist
● Lane Keeping Assist
● Driver Attention Warning
● Safe Exit Warning
● Rear Occupant Alert
● High Beam Assist
The safety
roster in the 2025 Nissan Kicks, while not as extensive as the Kona's, does
have a few notable standard safety features, including:
● High Beam Assist
● Rear Cross Traffic Alert
● Blind Spot Warning
Interior
The cabin of
the 2025 Hyundai Kona is intuitive and thoughtfully laid out with soft-touch
materials abound. A column-mounted shifter frees up room in the center console
for ample storage and two large cupholders. A single piece of glass adorns the
dash with dual 12.3-inch screens that can be configured based on driver
preference. Dreading the morning commute during those frigid Bedford winters?
Use the MyHyundai app to start your Kona and warm the cabin to a comfortable
temperature for your drive.
The 2025
Nissan Kicks fails to impress with a rather cheap-feeling interior and an
abundance of cheap plastics. While the Kona feels way more expensive than it
is, the Kicks reminds you exactly what you're in: an economy car. Even with its
recent redesign, the 2025 Nissan Kicks only has a 7-inch screen as standard
equipment, way smaller than the 12.3-inch touchscreen standard in all 2025
Hyundai Konas.
Warranty Coverage
As with other
Hyundai models, the 2025 Kona offers the best warranty in the class, easily
besting the 2025 Nissan Kicks.

Bottom Line
The 2025
Nissan Kicks is a compelling option for some; however, the 2025 Hyundai Kona is
a superior all-around SUV offering the best balance of practicality,
technology, and comfort.
