The Kona is a small SUV that grew up. The current car is noticeably larger than the one it replaced, which fixed the main complaint about the original — rear seat and boot space — without pushing it into the next size class.
Its real advantage is choice of drivetrain. Petrol, hybrid and fully electric all exist in the same body, so you can decide how you want to fuel it without also having to accept a different car.
What to think about
The petrol is the value pick and perfectly good for suburban driving. The hybrid earns its premium if you do a lot of city kilometres. The electric makes sense if you can charge at home — if you can’t, it usually doesn’t stack up regardless of what the fuel savings look like on paper.
The N Line grade is a styling and trim package rather than a performance one on most variants. Worth knowing before you pay for it expecting a different drive.
How we price it
Tell us the grade and the drivetrain and we’ll come back with one drive-away price, usually within three business hours. Comparing the hybrid against the petrol? Tell us both and we’ll quote both, so you can see what the difference actually costs.
The figure includes 12 months registration, all government charges and any accessories you’ve asked for. Nothing is payable to us — the dealer’s fleet department pays our fee — and the car is delivered to your door anywhere in Australia with a full tank.
