Hyundai Kona 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 is a second-generation compact SUV that has grown significantly compared to its predecessor, offering improved practicality and passenger space. With a generous 466-litre boot and a well-designed interior featuring twin infotainment screens, the Kona delivers solid build quality and comprehensive standard equipment across all trim levels. The range includes turbocharged petrol engines (1.0-litre and 1.6-litre), a self-charging hybrid option, and a fully electric variant, catering to diverse buyer preferences and budgets.

Whilst the Kona excels in space, equipment, and value, its dynamic performance is merely average, with light and vague steering, body roll, and an unsettled ride that could be more comfortable. The cabin, whilst well-assembled, lacks premium feel with hard surfaces in key areas. Running costs vary by powertrain, with the hybrid achieving over 60mpg and the 1.0-litre petrol returning around 48mpg. For company car drivers, the hybrid offers better tax efficiency at 26% BIK, whilst the electric version is exceptional at just 2%. Overall, the Kona represents a compelling all-rounder for those prioritising space, practicality, and equipment over dynamic polish.

Best for: Families seeking a spacious, practical SUV with generous equipment, buyers prioritising comfort and practicality over driving dynamics, and company car drivers (especially with the hybrid or electric option).

Not ideal for: Enthusiasts wanting sharp handling and engaging driving dynamics, those seeking a premium interior feel, or drivers requiring a particularly comfortable ride quality.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kona if: You're seeking a spacious, practical SUV with generous equipment, prioritising comfort and practicality over driving dynamics, or a company car driver wanting tax-efficient options.

Consider alternatives if: You want sharp handling and engaging driving dynamics, prefer a premium interior feel, or require particularly comfortable ride quality.

Competitive Position: The Hyundai Kona is a solid all-rounder in the compact SUV segment, offering excellent space, practicality, and equipment at competitive pricing. Whilst it trails the Ford Puma for overall appeal and driving dynamics, and the Volkswagen T-Roc for premium feel, the Kona holds its own through generous standard features and strong value. The Kia Niro, sharing the same platform, offers similar practicality with marginally better user ratings. For budget-conscious families prioritising space and equipment over dynamic performance, the Kona remains a compelling choice, particularly in hybrid or electric form for company car drivers.
