How Do the Line-ups Compare?

With so many vehicles out there, it can feel overwhelming. Below, you’ll be able to get an idea of what each brand does best.

  • Hyundai: The Hyundai brand is constantly innovating in order to meet drivers’ needs. A great example of this is the new SANTA CRUZ, which combines the best elements of a truck and an SUV together. As for EVs, you can explore the IONIQ 6, the KONA Electric, and more.
  • Nissan: Nissan stands out, as it offers a full-size pickup. Outside of this truck, the Nissan brand is mostly known for its great SUVs like the Armada and the Pathfinder.
  • Honda: The Civic helped the Honda brand reach new levels of popularity. The brand also offers the Ridgeline, which is a pickup truck, and the Odyssey, which is a minivan.
  • Kia: The Kia brand only offers two types of vehicles: SUVs and cars. Still, you’ll find comfortable options like the Soul and the Sportage.

New Innovation, Technology, and Features

Technology is important, as the right systems can make driving a breeze.

  • Hyundai: Hyundai is one step ahead when it comes to tech. You’ll find everything from touchscreens to wireless chargers in these models, along with unique features like the Digital Key 2 System. Some Hyundai models can even park themselves with Remote Smart Parking Assist.
  • Nissan: Nissan and Hyundai take a similar approach to safety, as they focus on making sure that drivers have access to the latest systems.
  • Honda: The Honda brand offers a lot of great driving-assistance features, but it tends to fall short when it comes to its displays. Their touchscreens are usually smaller than what you’d find in a Hyundai model.
  • Kia: The Kia brand focuses on connectivity. Depending on the trim that you choose, you’ll have multiple displays in your cabin. Connecting to these screens is simple. Like Hyundai, Kia offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

Shopping for the Family

If there’s one thing that every brand here does well, it’s SUVs.

  • Hyundai: If you’re looking for an efficient SUV, there’s the SANTA FE Hybrid, the TUCSON Plug-in Hybrid, the fully electric IONIQ 5, and more. Hyundai models also tend to come with quite a few standard safety features, so you can feel confident when you’re behind the wheel.
  • Nissan: The Nissan brand does a great job of offering SUVs in different sizes, but they tend to struggle when it comes to efficiency. There are significantly fewer options for electric and hybrid models.
  • Honda: Like Nissan, the Honda brand doesn’t offer many hybrids. Still, the CR-V and the Pilot both make great family models.
  • Kia: Kia is the only brand that’s on par with Hyundai when it comes to their line-up of electric vehicles. Both brands give you a long list of options to explore.
