Hyundai Kona
The Hyundai Kona is a small SUV that has grown into one of the brand's most flexible Australian nameplates. The latest generation offers a broader, more mature package than the original, with a roomier cabin, sharper technology and petrol, hybrid and electric choices depending on variant availability. It is pitched at drivers wanting city-friendly dimensions without sacrificing the higher seating position and practicality that make small SUVs popular. The Kona's strengths are its wide range, strong equipment levels and ability to cover very different needs, from efficient commuting to family runabout duties. It remains one of Hyundai's most important models in the compact SUV segment.
