The Hyundai Kona picks some experienced competition as its targets.
The Kia Seltos has a slightly higher price tag, but more interior room and a similar emphasis on value.
The Honda HR-V should be high on any compact crossover buyer's shopping list due to its efficient space and engine.
If style or off-roading is a priority, the Jeep Renegade is the only other quirky pick on the list, but its interior feels a little cheap.
Same goes for the Crosstrek: it’s slow like the base Kona, and its interior is a little less zesty, but it’s more durable than the Jeep.
The Mini Countryman is a bit of an outlier, with a style all its own, but it also features rock solid dynamics and fun handling.
