Why buy a used Hyundai Kona?

Older Hyundai Konas were sensible, well-equipped small family SUVs. The latest model has grown a little, making it an even-better family wagon, as well as ramping up the style factor, with a Robocop-inspired front end and a clean, modern dashboard design. You can choose from petrol-powered mild-hybrid and self-charging-hybrid engines, as well as a fully electric model with rock-bottom running costs if you can charge at home.

Your Hyundai Kona questions answered

There’s just one version of the Hyundai Kona and it’s a five-door hatchback SUV. If you’re after something larger, take a look at the Hyundai Tucson or seven-seat Santa Fe. For something a little more compact, check out the Hyundai Bayon.

If you’re looking at nearly new Konas, you’re likely to find pre and post-facelift models. Facelifted cars began arriving in 2021 and have slightly updated interior and exterior styling. The easiest way to tell the two apart is to look at the front grille – pre-2021 cars have a hexagonal grille that stretches down to the front number plate and has a thin opening above it, while 2021-and-newer cars have a simplified rectangular grille with the number plate mounted to the front bumper and no upper opening.

The Kona is slightly more than 4.2 metres long (a few millimetres less for pre-facelift Konas). That places it around the middle of its class with the Volkswagen T-Roc and Renault Captur coming in a few millimetres longer, and the Citroen C3 Aircross coming in a hair shorter.

Space in the Kona is better than the many smaller hatchbacks, but it’s not the largest model in its class, with the Citroen C3 Aircross feeling noticeably larger inside. Room up front is fine but adults on the rear row will feel a little short of legroom if six-footers are sat in front of them. Boot space is about average for the class. If you need more regular access the rear seats, you might want to consider a slightly larger car.

There are several engine choices in the Kona lineup – all powered by petrol – along with hybrid and battery-powered options.

Entry-level petrols feel a little underpowered at higher speeds so you might want one of the larger engines if you do a lot of motorway miles. Battery-powered Kona electric models are pleasantly powerful, especially around town, or you can go for the range-topping Kona N to unlock hot-hatch-baiting performance.

No, the Hyundai Kona Electric is just one pillar of the Kona range. There’s also an entry-level petrol engine with no electrification, a mild-hybrid petrol, a hybrid with a larger battery and even a high-performance Kona N version that’s solely petrol-powered.

With quirky styling, a strong kit list and a selection of engines ranging from frugal to feral, the Hyundai Kona has found a lot of fans since it went on sale. It’s quite a small car so it’s easy to park, while practicality will be improved with the next-generation Kona.

Yes, the Hyundai Kona has scored top marks for reliability in recent Driver Power surveys – and it finished top in that brand’s 2021 owner satisfaction survey. You probably won’t ever make use of Hyundai’s generous five-year/100,000-mile warranty.

Top-spec Ultimate versions of the Kona, Kona Hybrid and Kona Electric come with a sunroof, so you’ll need to hunt out one of those if you want the breeze in your hair.
