kona vs cx3 Page 8

Hyundai Kona versus Mazda CX-3: same carpark, different leagues. The Kona is roomier with a more modern cabin and tech, a comfier ride, and the option of a hybrid; downside is it costs more and takes up a smidge more driveway. The CX-3 charms with light-on-its-feet handling, tidy dimensions for inner-city shenanigans, and usually a sharper price; but rear-seat and boot space are tight and the platform’s showing its age. Either way, test the back seat and the stuff you actually haul—spec sheets are brave until reality climbs aboard.
