Doors, seats, weight, maneuverability
Choosing the 2022 Ford Maverick means managing with 1 fewer door(s), but this usually means a cleaner looking side profile than the 5-door 2023 Hyundai Kona. You get the same number of seats in both models, as the 2022 Ford Maverick and the 2023 Hyundai Kona are each configured for 5 passengers. There is a significant gap in agility here; the 2023 Hyundai Kona can spin around in a space 1.6 m smaller than the 2022 Ford Maverick. The 2022 Ford Maverick outweighs the 2023 Hyundai Kona by 321.1 kg, and that extra mass may contribute to a more solid feel on the road while increasing fuel use and reducing responsiveness in comparison.
