About the Hyundai Kona
The Hyundai Kona has established itself as a frontrunner in the UK's competitive subcompact SUV market, offering a daring design and a versatile range of powertrains. Whether you are navigating London's ULEZ with the zero-emission Electric model or choosing the efficient Hybrid for school runs, it provides a confidence-inspiring driving experience backed by a solid manufacturer reputation.
Why Buy a Used Hyundai Kona?
- Diverse powertrain choices including petrol, hybrid, and class-leading electric ranges.
- Hyundai’s five-year unlimited mileage warranty provides excellent peace of mind for second-hand buyers.
- The 64kWh Electric variant offers a real-world range exceeding 250 miles, easily tackling long-distance UK motorway journeys.
- Equipped with modern safety tech and an intuitive infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto across most trims.
Typical Price Range
All prices are approximate.
- 2017–2020: £9,500 – £15,500 — Early 1.0 T-GDi and 1.6 petrol models; many will still have some original warranty remaining if the V5C shows frequent dealer servicing.
- 2020–2023: £16,000 – £26,500 — Covers facelifted models, the popular Hybrid (HEV), and mid-range 64kWh Electric versions with improved interior tech.
- 2023–Present: £28,000 – £42,000 — Prices for the all-new second-generation Kona (SX2), featuring a significantly larger cabin and futuristic 'EV-led' styling.
Common Issues to Check
- Infotainment glitches: Some early models suffer from screen freezes which usually require a software update from a Hyundai dealer.
- DCT Hesitation: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission can feel slightly jerky at low speeds in heavy UK traffic; ensure the gearbox oil changes are documented.
- 12V Battery Drain: Owners of the Kona Electric have reported the auxiliary 12V battery going flat if the car is left unused for long periods.
- Tyre Wear: The high torque of the Electric and 1.6T models can lead to premature front tyre wear if driven enthusiastically.
Running Costs
- Fuel Economy: 45-55mpg for Petrol/Hybrid; 3.5-4.2 miles per kWh for Electric.
- Insurance Group: Groups 8 to 27, with the high-performance Kona N and Electric models at the top end.
- Servicing: Hyundai offers fixed-price servicing plans; expect to pay £180–£300 annually depending on periodic MOT requirements and fluid changes.
Which Variant Should I Choose?
- Kona SE / SE Connect: Budget-conscious commuters who need a reliable ULEZ-compliant petrol SUV with essential smartphone connectivity.
- Kona Hybrid (GDi HEV): Urban families looking to slash fuel bills without the need to plug in, offering smooth transitions between electric and petrol power.
- Kona Electric (64kWh): High-mileage company car drivers or eco-minded households wanting to avoid the London Congestion Charge and petrol stations entirely.
- Kona N-Line: Drivers who want the sporty aesthetic of a performance car with the lower running costs of a standard 1.0 or Hybrid engine.
- Kona N: Enthusiasts seeking a 'hot-hatch' experience in an SUV body, featuring a 280bhp 2.0-litre engine and track-focused dynamics.
