We compare specs for the 2024 Hyundai Kona and 2024 Kia Seltos for our customers today so that they can make a smart choice for themselves and the people they love.
Technology - Hyundai Dealer Serving Columbia SC
If there's one clear category where the 2024 Hyundai Kona vs 2024 Kia Seltos matchup isn't even close, it's the model's technology. Hyundai is just far and away better at interior tech than Kia is (at least where these two models are concerned). Hyundai's Kona is a playground of incredible technology. They offer 12.3-inch dual panoramic screens for the front row. These screens come to life and are as much a part of the Kona as its comfortable seating. Kia does offer 10.25-inch dual panoramic displays, but they fall far short of what the new Kona has to offer at Stivers Hyundai.
Interior - 2024 Hyundai Kona in Columbia SC
The 2024 Kia Seltos has a nice interior. If it didn't, it wouldn't be one of the top models in its class. We can admit that it offers nice options like a dual-level cargo floor and eventual 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat. However, you'll find a much more attractive value in choosing the Hyundai Kona. For example, on the Kona's third trim - the N Line - there's an exciting, high-performance interior design that far exceeds the SynTex seating on the Seltos EX (its third trim). N Line trims boast N Line Black Alcantara sport combination seats, LED interior lighting, and a much quicker wireless device charger. The N Line is another secret weapon for Hyundai. There's nothing like it on the 2024 Seltos trim menu. With 19-inch N Line designed wheels, gloss-black exterior mirrors, and an exclusive N Line front and real fascia, the Kona N Line easily outpaces anything else in the 2024 Kia Seltos lineup.
Hyundai Kona Driver-Assist Tech
Both Hyundai and Kia make advanced driver-assist platforms standard across their entire lineup. Hyundai's is called SmartSense, and Kia delivers Safety Sense. The two aren't night and day. Both offer automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and both delivers great auto high beam and lane-keeping systems. Where the 2024 Hyundai Kona pulls ahead is with its secret weapon: those 12.3-inch dual touchscreen displays. Drivers who have a clearer view of their safety cameras and instrumentation tend to make better decisions. That's why automakers invested so much to put this technology in their vehicles. The Kona's surround view monitor is superior because it's going to feed into a larger, more brilliant touchscreen display. Stivers Hyundai can show you the 2024 Hyundai Kona camera views when you test drive with us.
Winner: 2024 Hyundai Kona
The ultra efficient 2024 Kona offers things that the 2024 Kia Seltos can't provide. If you love big tech, sportiness, and advanced driver-assist protection, the Kona is the better choice. Its 2.0L engine is super efficient and delivers 147 horsepower performance on most trims. For people who want even more, there's the sporty N Line trim and its 1.6L turbocharged engine. With this more powerful engine, the 2024 Kona is capable of 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Stivers Hyundai will have the new Kona available for test drive all year. Get down here to see it to find out why it's taking over in its class.
