When do you choose the Hyundai KONA and when the Volkswagen T-Roc?
Choose the Hyundai KONA if…
- you want a compact SUV with a hybrid or fully electric drivetrain;
- you want plenty of rear-seat room in a car 4.35 metres long (roomy for the class according to ANWB);
- you want the 64.8 kWh electric version for a WLTP range of up to 510 km.
Choose the Volkswagen T-Roc if…
- You want a compact crossover that ANWB found pleasant to drive, with good steering feel and a quiet cabin.
- You want low WLTP consumption: the 1.5 Hybrid is rated at 5.0 to 5.1 l/100 km.
- You want a 475-litre boot; ANWB calls the variable boot floor practical.
