2023 Kia Seltos vs. Hyundai Kona


Overview

If you're in the market for a compact SUV, you know you have an abundance of options, making the selection process somewhat confusing. Maybe you're trying to decide between the 2023 Kia Seltos and the 2023 Hyundai Kona. At first glance, these SUVs seem very similar. However, take a closer look, and you'll see why the 2023 Kia Seltos available at DARCARS Kia of Lanham is the better choice.


Interior Space

While the Seltos and Kona both seat five people, the Seltos gives you and your passengers more room to stretch out and enjoy the ride. The Seltos' passenger volume measures 99.6 cubic feet, while the Kona only has 94.1 cubic feet of passenger volume.

You'll also enjoy more cargo space with the Seltos, which has a rear cargo area measuring 26.6 cubic feet and a maximum cargo space measuring 62.8 cubic feet. The Kona's rear cargo space is only 19.2 cubic feet, and its total cargo space maxes out at 45.8 cubic feet. Plus, the Kona doesn't offer a dual-level cargo floor like the Seltos, making it less easy to organize cargo and accommodate tall items.




Convenience

With the 2023 Kia Seltos, you can have access to all sorts of standard convenience features. For example, the Seltos comes standard with interior LED lights to give you a better view inside the cabin when you're driving at night. You can also take advantage of an auto-defog system that can sense excess moisture on the windshield and clear it off. These features aren't available with the Kona.

With its privacy glass and sound-absorbing windshield, the Seltos cabin is your sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Unfortunately, these features aren't standard on the Kona as they are with the Seltos. Both vehicles do come standard with an 8.0-inch touchscreen and a rearview monitor.




Design

The 2023 Seltos announces its arrival with an intricate, multidimensional version of Kia's signature tiger-nose grille. This iconic fixture is flanked by beautifully sculpted headlights, and it flows into a sleek, streamlined frame. When you compare the Kona's less detailed front end to the Seltos, the Hyundai vehicle seems pretty plain, and you'll also notice that its frame looks boxier.

Inside the Seltos, you'll find an upscale interior composed of premium soft-touch materials. Unfortunately, the Kona's interior features a lot of cheap vinyl and plastic, and its cabin looks cluttered compared to the Seltos cabin's minimalist design.
