The 2025 Subaru Crosstrek has 152 horsepower, while the 2025 Hyundai Kona’s standard 2.0L MPI 4-cylinder engine has 147 horsepower. However, the 2025 Hyundai Kona is available with a 1.6L GDI 4-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, producing 190 horsepower.

Price Point

Let’s be honest: the price is always a huge factor in which vehicle we choose to purchase. There are often certain features that we’ll compromise on if the price point is better, for example, and looking at the lowest trim level first to make a fair comparison is always the best place to start. When we compare the two SUVs, the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek starts at $32,520, while the 2025 Hyundai Kona comes under the $30,000 mark at a $29,183 starting price point. Because of this, and the similarities in the models, the 2025 Hyundai Kona once more pulls ahead.

Verdict

While both the 2025 Subaru Crosstrek and 2025 Hyundai Kona are great SUVs to look for if you’re looking for an urban SUV, the 2025 Hyundai Kona comes out on top due to its lower price point and its better available engine.
