This is for the city buyer who wants a small SUV with character. The Kona is Hyundai's compact high rider, pitched at younger buyers and downsizers who want an easy car to park with a raised seating position. It takes on the Mazda CX-3, Toyota C-HR and a growing crowd in the busiest end of the SUV market.
Simone's test enjoys the funky styling, the well sorted ride and a cabin that punches above the price. It is easy to thread through traffic, simple to park at Coles and frugal on the commute. Back seat and boot space suit singles and couples more than big families, which is the small SUV reality.
If you want a stylish, easy small SUV for city life, the Kona is a strong contender. Buyers who need real family room should size up. For a fun, affordable high rider, Hyundai has read the market well.
