How much does the 2022 Hyundai Kona cost?

Is the 2022 Hyundai Kona a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Hyundai Kona earns a 4.9/5 user rating and a 7.7/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Performance and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise its fun driving experience, safety features, impressive tech, sleek design, and smooth handling. That lines up well with the Kona’s broader appeal as a small SUV that feels more polished and better equipped than a basic city runabout. For you, that means it makes the most sense if you want a subcompact SUV with personality, useful equipment, and a more refined feel.

Only 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market still rewards careful shopping.

Is the 2022 Hyundai Kona reliable?

Owners rate it 4.9/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels fun to drive, well equipped, and easy to live with over time. The expert evaluation also highlights a solid, composed driving character and a powertrain that feels more than adequate in everyday use. Hyundai’s five-year/100,000-kilometre new vehicle limited warranty, including powertrain coverage, adds another layer of confidence for used buyers.

For long-term ownership, your main risk is less about basic dependability and more about choosing the right trim and equipment level for your needs.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Hyundai Kona?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Essential trim is the most stripped-down version, while higher trims add more convenience and tech. If you want the best value, the N Line stands out for its stronger equipment mix and sporty character.
• Powertrain: The lower trims use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with a CVT, while the N Line upgrades to a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The Kona N goes further with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder and an N eight-speed wet DCT.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, driver attention warning, and rear occupant alert. Available features include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, blind-spot warning with collision avoidance, Highway Drive Assist, and rear cross-traffic alert with collision avoidance.
• Infotainment: The base model gets an 8-inch display with Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a six-speaker audio system. Higher trims add SiriusXM, Hyundai BlueLink, and, on upper versions, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and traffic information.
• Fuel efficiency: Combined fuel consumption for FWD Konas, except the Kona N, is 7.4 L/100 km. AWD versions are rated at 7.9 to 8.2 L/100 km combined, while the Kona N uses 10.4 L/100 km combined.

Which 2022 Hyundai Kona trim should I buy?

The 2022 Hyundai Kona is offered in 4 trim levels: Essential, Preferred, N Line, Kona N.

Here's the short version:

• Essential: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Kona experience with the 8-inch display, wireless smartphone integration, and the standard safety basics. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model, but it is the least feature-rich choice.
• Preferred: This trim adds SiriusXM and Hyundai BlueLink, and it is the better everyday pick if you want more convenience without jumping into the sportier versions. It is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds useful connected features without pushing the price too far.
• N Line: This is the sweet spot if you want the strongest mix of value, equipment, and personality. It adds the turbocharged 1.6-litre engine, a seven-speed DCT, sportier styling, and access to more premium tech through available packages.
• Kona N: Choose this if you want the most performance-focused Kona. It brings the turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, the N wet DCT, and the most aggressive hardware and driving features in the lineup.

The safety package is fairly limited on the base trim, so if advanced driver assistance matters to you, look closely at higher trims and option packages.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Hyundai Kona?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you should shop with a clear target and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 448 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.89% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $21,034 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Hyundai Kona's resale value?

The current average of $21,158 CAD sits slightly below last year's $23,743 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Kona is currently more buyer-friendly than it was a year ago. For a future seller, that means you may face more competition if the market stays well supplied. On the other hand, the Kona’s broad appeal, strong owner satisfaction, and good equipment story should help it remain attractive to used shoppers.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.9/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Hyundai Kona safe?

The 2022 Hyundai Kona gets five stars for overall crash protection from NHTSA, and the IIHS gave it Good ratings in all six crashworthiness tests.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, driver attention warning, and rear occupant alert. Available technologies include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, blind-spot warning with collision avoidance, Highway Drive Assist, and rear cross-traffic alert with collision avoidance.

One caveat is that the IIHS gave the child-seat anchors a Marginal rating, which kept the Kona from earning Top Safety Pick status.

Should I buy a 2022 Hyundai Kona or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.89% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.9/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 refresh adds updated styling, improved powertrains, and upgraded convenience, connectivity, and safety features.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $18,804 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $21,158 CAD average.
• It offers strong styling, useful features, and a value-forward crossover feel.

The bottom line: If you want the more polished and better-equipped Kona, the 2022 is the stronger pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 remains a sensible alternative.
