What Hyundai Kona do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume model years tend to be the easiest to shop because you usually get more choice in trims, colours, and prices. They also tend to be the years most sellers and buyers are focused on, which can make it easier to compare listings and spot a good deal.

What is the Hyundai Kona's resale value?

The Kona’s used prices are down across every model year shown, which is good news if you’re shopping for value. The newer years are still commanding higher absolute prices, but the year-over-year declines are still meaningful, especially on the older and mid-range model years. The smallest drops are on the most recent model years, which suggests those versions are holding closer to their recent pricing.

The 2024, 2023, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
