Hyundai Kona.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Hyundai Kona arrived in 2017 as a compact crossover aimed at urban buyers wanting SUV style without the bulk. It has built a solid reputation for reliability and low running costs, particularly in hybrid form. Common use cases include city commuting and family errands, though some owners report issues with dual-clutch gearboxes in petrol models. Buyers should focus on service history and test the infotainment system, which can be prone to software glitches.
