Used Hyundai KONA for sale

Safety is a strong point for the Hyundai Kona – especially on models from 2021 onwards, which include key features like autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist and multiple airbags. Most trims have a reversing camera, parking sensors and advanced traction control, though it’s worth checking individual specs, as some entry-level versions of older models may offer less as standard.

The Hyundai Kona has been available with a variety of engines. Petrol options include an efficient 1.0-litre turbo and a more powerful 1.6-litre, while the hybrid combines a 1.6 petrol with electric support. The full-electric Kona offers two battery sizes with competitive range. Earlier diesels are less common now, but can be found on pre-2019 cars.

Hyundai Kona models come with a touchscreen infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard from SE trim upwards. Later models (from 2021) have a larger 10.25-inch screen and digital display for the driver. Most trims have Bluetooth, DAB radio and useful connectivity features, making daily drives easier and more connected.

Fuel economy depends on your chosen engine. The petrol 1.0 T-GDi typically returns around 45–50mpg, while diesels and hybrids can reach up to 60mpg or more, especially in urban settings. The electric Kona has a range of up to 300 miles per charge, making it one of the more practical small EVs for longer journeys.

When buying a used Hyundai Kona, look for a complete service history and check that all technology – infotainment, sensors, cameras – works properly. Inspect for uneven tyre wear and ensure recalls have been addressed. It's also wise to use The AA Vehicle Inspection service for added peace of mind.

Later models focus on the 1.0 petrol, 1.6 hybrid and electric; diesel is only found on earlier generations (2017–2019).
