Hyundai Kona
The Hyundai Kona is the best-selling sub-compact SUV in Canada. Available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, the Kona offers a choice of two gasoline engines. The first one is a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder rated at 147 horsepower, while the other is a turbocharged 1.6-litre unit producing 175 horsepower. Let’s not forget the Kona Electric, which can travel up to 415 kilometres on a full charge, though customers have to settle for FWD.
