CarTell.tv reviews the 2018 Hyundai Kona Highlander in Australia. The Kona is Hyundai's first dedicated small urban SUV offering and the Highlander is the top-specification variant, featuring the naturally aspirated 2.0-litre petrol engine paired with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. The Highlander grade includes a long list of standard features including a seven-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, leather seats and a full safety suite.
The Kona's design is one of its most talked-about attributes, with a distinctive split lighting arrangement and bold colour options that stand out in the segment. Despite its compact dimensions the interior makes good use of available space, with a comfortable second row and a practical boot. The ride quality is well suited to urban environments and the steering is light enough to make parking in tight spaces easy.
The Kona Highlander represents a well-packaged entry point for buyers looking for a small SUV that is strong on style and technology. Hyundai's five-year unlimited-kilometre warranty adds to the value equation in what is an increasingly competitive segment.
