So, you will be able to get this little hatch/SUV thing with AWD, a turbo, and a dual-clutch transmission...And Subaru gives the CrossTrek, and regular Impreza variations, a lawnmower engine with CVT...yep.

Personality, check
Good powertrain, check Good transmission, Check Ground clearance, Check practciality, Check What the hell is NOT to like about this. 27 sticker means 24,500 actually. That is a HELL of a lot of fun for that kind of money. they made what the crosstrek should have been. |

Going by the number of Subaru CrossTreks I see around, I'm Kona be expecting to see a lot of these on the roads in the near future.

I'll get my dings out of the way first:
No manual no care, wow, another CUV, Hyundai's dual clutch is crap. I'm just going to say what you're all thinking, PONTIAC AZTEK. on to the good: undercutting competition, offering AWD when others won't, offering a powertrain that has more than one hamster on the wheel. Honestly, I think this is a good move for them; the people that aren't brand loyalists will jump all over it from a cost standpoint alone, most people don't keep cars longer than 2-4 years now anyways, so the initial purchaser isn't likely to run into many issues. I'm sure other color combinations look better, but I bet there are more than a few people that like that Aztek/Vehicross color scheme. Good on ya Hyundai. |

Hyundai's own website shows MSRP with the 175-hp 1.6T at $24,700 (Limited trim).
The only thing is that Crosstrek is probably be bigger inside; I couldn't find legroom info for Kona though (haven't looked too hard either). EDIT: found it over here: https://www.hyundai.news/eu/press-ki...pecifications/ 34.6" in the rear and 41.5" in the front; the new Crosstrek has more room but FB16DIT wouldn't hurt one bit Looks like curb weight for the Euro version with 1.6T is about 3100 lbs.

Good for Hyundai. I'm still not sold on their reliability but they'll probably steal some future Crosstrek purchases.

Using the press link above, they show three interior accent colors, lime, orange, red.
Also among the exterior colors are two bright colors, the green and yellow. I have to say, that metallic yellow color is nice. --kC |

And, Subaru is happy to simply ride the wave; I sense that they will make very little effort to come up with a second engine for Impreza/Crosstrek. They'll most likely go gas-electric hybrid first; and that's going to be it. In the meantime, I agree, a lot of people will get Kona because the price is right, power seems good on paper, it looks pretty good, and Hyundai offers a loooonggg 10y/100k warranty. |

0-60 is under 8 seconds for the 1.6T. (7.9sec 0-62) That's a win right there.
Ground clearance is listed at 6.6" vs the 8.9 with Crosstrek... (Looks higher in pics, probably differential housing). Weight is 3088 for the 1.6T... so... that's a win also. --kC |

Declining sedan market in favor of these lifted hamster turds is going to moot the WRX argument. The talk of killing the Forester XT while everyone else is throwing turbos into everything is an interesting development. Perhaps the Crosstrek's success vs. the small decline of the Forester has Subaru looking into doing the XT treatment in the Crosstrek rather than the Forester? But certainly a performance uteback from Subaru can't be too far fetched with the way trends are going.
