Hyundai Kona (2023-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Roomy, practical cabin	Merely so-so to drive
Great infotainment system	Cabin could feel posher
Generous standard equipment	Should be more comfortable

Quick Summary

The Hyundai Kona (2023-present) is the second-generation incarnation of Hyundai's popular compact SUV, featuring futuristic angular styling and significantly improved practicality over its predecessor. Growing by 14 centimetres in length and 6cm in wheelbase, the Kona now offers a generous 466-litre boot and spacious rear seating with 40/20/40 split folding. The cabin features a well-designed twin-screen infotainment system with logically laid-out menus, sharp graphics and quick responses, alongside physical air-conditioning controls and solid build quality throughout.

A range of powertrains caters to different needs: the turbocharged 1.0-litre petrol offers willing performance for urban driving, the 1.6 turbo provides 195bhp for those seeking more power, and the petrol-electric hybrid delivers over 60mpg efficiency. Whilst the Kona isn't the sharpest handler and can feel unsettled on poor road surfaces, it provides a stable and secure driving experience. Running costs are reasonable, with the hybrid offering particularly attractive company car tax benefits at 26% Benefit-in-Kind. As an all-rounder prioritising space, practicality and equipment over dynamic polish, the Kona represents compelling value.

Best for: Families seeking spacious, practical transport with generous equipment, those prioritising comfort and infotainment over driving dynamics, and company car drivers considering the hybrid variant.

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting sharp handling and engaging dynamics, buyers seeking a premium interior feel, or those requiring a particularly comfortable ride on poor road surfaces.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kona if: You're seeking a spacious, practical family SUV with generous equipment and a user-friendly infotainment system, and you prioritise comfort and practicality over driving dynamics.

Consider alternatives if: You want sharp handling and engaging driving dynamics, desire a premium interior feel, or require a particularly comfortable ride on poor road surfaces.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Kona (2023-present) is a very decent all-rounder in the compact SUV segment, offering excellent space, practicality, solid build quality and compelling ownership packages. Whilst it's dynamically average with so-so handling and an unsettled ride, its generous passenger space, large luggage compartment, cracking infotainment system and generous equipment make it worth considering. However, the Ford Puma edges ahead with superior driving dynamics and a five-star rating, whilst the Volkswagen T-Roc and Kia Niro also offer strong alternatives. For buyers prioritising space and practicality over dynamic polish, the Kona remains a sensible choice.
