Welcome to the all new Hyundai Kona Vs Mitsubishi ASX comparison for 2020. It’s been 3 years since the last comparison, and the ASX has changed whilst the Kona hasn’t so we wondering whether our option has changed. The Kona was not a cheap small SUV when released despite nice exterior lines that imply upmarket pricing but entry level interior was a bit of a fail. The Kona’s main problem to date appears to be transmission related as expected even after 3 years. Expect more after the warranty runs out. In comparison the ASX has always been positioned as the value for money package and with the 2020 update should continue selling well but is it worth buying over the Kona?<\/p>\n

Hyundai Kona Vs Mitsubishi ASX exterior comparison: No doubt the Kona looks good and the plastic hasn’t faded as much as we where expecting hence good quality parts used. While the front hasn’t aged the rest of the lines are not as timeless as those on the ASX. The 2020 ASX facelift has worked great and transforms the 10 year old design. Sure the side profile is looking a little old but the updated rear and front end facelifts have been designed so well that it looks almost as up to date it’s formally planned replacement the Eclipse Cross.<\/p>\n

Hyundai Kona Vs Mitsubishi ASX interior comparison:The Hyundai Kona interior is a contrast to the exterior. It makes no attempt to hide the fact that this is one of the cheapest small SUV that they make. While the Kona’s interior is modern in design it does look and feel cheap compared to it’s competition and the ASX. The centre screen is the cheapest looking and feeling one we’ve seen to date. The hard plastics on the lower models are disappointing and some edges looks unfinished, the hard elbow rest on the drivers door on cheaper models reminds you every time that you’re in a Hyundai SUV. The ASX interior hasn’t been updated except for the large stereo screen and has it’s fair share of cheapness but it still looks and feel better than the equivalent Kona model.<\/p>\n

Hyundai Kona Vs Mitsubishi ASX engines and and technology comparison: The Kona being the later model is not as advanced as you’d expect compared to the near decade old ASX. The Kona has a modern basic like much button start, climate control, auto wipers and lights however only the top range model has all the desirable safety systems standard. The base model has a safety pack as an option which is nice to know but why pay for it when the ASX has it as standard? \u00a0The ASX likewise has all the safety systems and more on every ASX includes auto brakes. Both have Apple and Android connectivity and both sound OK for OEM stereo systems but both cannot be easily replaced which is going to be bad for any one contemplating either SUV. In terms of engines, the Kona has carry over petrol or turbo petrol engines likewise the ASX has a ancient but 2 efficient petrol engines!<\/p>\n

The winner of the Hyundai Kona Vs Mitsubishi ASX comparison is the ASX. The ASX has more standard safety systems, more gadgets it’s only short falls are the aged engines and interior. The Hyundai Kona a a number of glaring issues and that is to do with the cheaper interior ambience and materials. To our minds cements our view that Hyundai is a brand and manufacturer that takes buyers for ride with a nice exterior but shortcuts else where especially with equipment specifications on the inside. They are still a essentially ‘cheap’ brand you should not pay a premium for that. The only thing going for the Kona is the option of a zippy turbo engine but paired with the problematic dual clutch automatic, is not going to be a long term purchase at least for us. While the price difference between the ASX and Kona is no longer worth a decent holiday, the Kona still works out more expensive for less.<\/p>\n
