A comparison of engines and performance
The Chevy Trax for 2024 operates with a turbocharged three-cylinder engine that can generate 137 horsepower. The Trax delivers energetic performance and agile, car-like handling that makes it fun to drive. The Chevy Trax does well in terms of fuel efficiency, giving you an estimated 28 miles per gallon in urban areas in 32 MPG on highways around Centerville and Miamisburg, OH.
The Hyundai Kona comes with a standard 147 horsepower engine or a turbocharged alternative that can generate 190 horsepower. The Kona with the base engine and front-wheel drive can get 29 MPG on city streets and 34 MPG out on the highway. But if you get the all-wheel drive option and the turbocharged engine in the Kona, your mileage drops to 24 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. So if fuel efficiency is your top priority, the Chevy Trax is the clear choice.
A comparison of interiors and technology
The Chevy Trax bases its design approach on the larger Chevy Blazer resulting in an attractive, contemporary cabin. The interior of the Trax gets a longer wheelbase which increases the space available for rear passengers and for cargo. The cabin is designed with an infotainment system that’s focused on the driver and the cabin materials match the affordable price tag while still creating an upscale feel.
The Hyundai Kona takes a more avante-garde approach with enhanced mood lighting inside the cabin. Both subcompact crossovers have commendable technology and the Trax keeps things simple with a standard 8-inch touch screen and an available 11-inch display in higher trims.
A comparison of value
The Chevy Trax is the most affordable vehicle made by Chevrolet and it’s substantially less expensive than the Hyundai Kona. The new Trax comes with a starting price that’s even lower than its previous generation, making it one of the most affordable crossovers in the country. The Hyundai Kona offers two different engines and requires a considerably higher price, especially for the turbocharged engine.
The Chevy Trax is available from $21,495 up to $24,995. The lowest-priced Hyundai Kona costs more than the highest-priced Chevy Trax. The Kona runs from $24,435 all the way up to $32,985.
