The Car Guide rating 79%(view ratings)
Hyundai’s subcompact crossover is fully redesigned for 2024. The sharper-looking, almost futuristic exterior comes with increased dimensions including an extra 6 cm of wheelbase and 15 cm overall. The two gasoline engines return—a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre unit (147 horsepower) mated to a CVT and a turbocharged 1.6-litre mill (190 horsepower) paired with a dual-clutch transmission. The Kona Electric (201 horsepower) is back with much less torque but slightly longer range (420 km).
