As usual, there is more to it
As usual, there is more to it than just price and I don't have all the specs. But, as a Bolt owner, I think the Kona is definitely a better-looking car. GM fiddled with the styling and it is an improvement, but still falls short. The Kona is also 4WD and has roof rails, only available on the Bolt EUV Premier which is considerably more expensive. In the interior, I'm not a fan of displays that stick up out of the dash like in the Kona. The Bolt display is much more nicely integrated. So, if the Kona starts at $38k then I think the nod goes to the Bolt, but if it is $33k then maybe the Kona. If the Kona is $34k then it's unclear. For those who aren't price sensitive and usually go with the higher trim levels, the nod might go to the EUV Premier since it has all the bells including Supercruise, but again, it depends on the details.
