What Hyundai Kona do most buyers choose?

The Hyundai Kona years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, colour, and price. They also usually reflect the model years shoppers are cross-shopping most actively, so supply and demand stay strongest there.

What is the Hyundai Kona's resale value?

Most Kona model years are showing double-digit price declines, which is good news if you are shopping used and want more value for your money. The newer models are also falling, but at a slightly smaller pace than the older ones in the table. That means recent years still command stronger prices, while used buyers can benefit from the broader downward movement.

The 2024, 2023, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

The 2025 Kona includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-traffic Collision Avoidance Assist, and Safe Exit Warning across all trims.
