Used Hyundai KONA
The Hyundai Kona is ideal for drivers who want more from their small SUV – more choice, more safety and a sense of individuality. Since first appearing in the UK in 2017, the Kona's clever engineering and lively design have made it a favourite with families, commuters and anyone who values easy ownership and a fun drive. The most recent generation, launched in 2023, continues the Kona's tradition of reliability and good value.
Over its life, the Kona has offered a broad range of engines: from fuss-free petrols and economical hybrids to all-electric versions with real-world range. A 2021 update brought sharper looks, more tech inside and a boost in efficiency, while the earlier cars (2017–2020) remain great value second-hand. Whichever you choose, you’ll find the Kona compares well to rivals like the Ford Puma and Nissan Juke, and backs up its distinctive styling with a long warranty and sensible running costs. Today’s Konas have a roomy interior, robust safety kit and infotainment that makes daily life that bit more enjoyable.
