TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2021 Hyundai Kona wears like statement jewelry, and drives like a bargain.

The 2022 Subaru Crosstrek flexes safety and traction more than it does power.

TCC Likes

Squirty handling
Standard automatic emergency braking
Very good infotainment

Excellent CVT
Off-road capable, rugged looks
Standard AWD

TCC Dislikes

Busy to the eye
Sluggish off the line
Shifty dual-clutch transmission

Cramped USB ports
Limited-release hybrid
Manual transmission omits more than it adds
