Hyundai Kona Vs Nissan Juke Comparison

VS

Welcome to the all new Hyundai Kona Vs Nissan Juke comparison for 2017. The new Hyundai Kona has impressed in terms of exterior styling and specification comparisons with other small SUVs we’ve put it up against so far. The Nissan Juke has been around for years and essentially unchanged since release and has always impressed us in styling, equipment and power.

Hyundai Kona Vs Nissan Juke exterior comparison: No question the the Kona is a good looking small SUV. It is clearly inspired but other manufacturers but it’s too derivative to be a classic design. In comparison to the Juke, Nissan did a great design job! The design still stands out and over the years has become a little conservative which is hard to believe. In the end though pick the Kona for a current design and the Juke for a classic design.

Hyundai Kona Vs Nisan Juke interior comparison: As we’ve said before the Kona interior is a merely satisfactory place to be in. It looks and feels cheap for most of the model range especially disappointing for a brand new model complete contrast to the exterior design. The Nissan Juke has a great interior compared to the Kona and despite it’s 7 year age gap and smaller dimensions The Juke is a nicer and pretty decent place to be in regardless of model grade which is an important factor.

Hyundai Kona Vs Nissan Juke engines and and technology comparison: Both have turbo charged engines for decent power but the Juke will always be faster thanks to not only more power but less weight. The Juke’s high Spec AWD system with the various modes is also a standout. Both are surprisingly equal in the safety department although except the missing auto brakes in the higher end models. The only other difference between the two in the KONA has DSG gearbox for performance and the Juke has a CVT for smoothness.

Hyundai Kona Vs Nissan Juke comparison: N/A

The winner of the Hyundai Kona Vs Nissan Juke comparison is neither. Both have very good specs but lack auto brakes as standard across the range on the Kona and missing on the Juke for 2017. The interior fail in the Kona needs to be fixed and the Juke needs more modern materials. We came away with one interesting observation not related to the Kona or Juke, that the CX-3 is really the best comprise and choice in the small SUV class.
