Details
Doors, seats, weight, maneuverability
There is no difference in door count here, as both vehicles utilise a 5-door layout. Both the 2023 Hyundai Kona and the 2022 Toyota RAV4 have seating for 5, so there is no difference in passenger capacity. The 2023 Hyundai Kona is the slightly nimbler of the two when pulling a U-turn, though by a very narrow 0.4 m margin. The 238 kg weight gap will have a major impact on fuel consumption and overall driving dynamics.
