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

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: The base engine’s Natural Resources Canada fuel economy ratings range from 7.5 to 8.6 litres per 100 kilometres in combined driving, depending on the trim and whether you’ve checked the AWD option box, while turbos clock in at 9.0 L/100 km combined with standard AWD.

Which Hyundai Kona trim should I buy?

The 2026 Hyundai Kona offers these trims:

• Essential: The entry trim focuses on the Kona’s core strengths, including the 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the full suite of standard driver-assistance features. It suits you if you want the most affordable way into the lineup.
• Preferred: This trim adds adaptive cruise control and a system that can brake to avoid collisions when making a left turn across traffic or when an oncoming vehicle is headed straight for the Kona. It’s the best-value trim if you want more everyday convenience and safety tech.
• N Line: The N Line brings the turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine with 190 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, plus the eight-speed automatic and available AWD. It suits you if you want the strongest performance and the most upscale, sporty feel.

What Hyundai Kona do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume model years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right trim, colour, and price. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and broader used-market availability.

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 biggest drops are in the newer models, while the 2022 to 2024 range shows smaller declines than the rest of the lineup. That pattern suggests recent examples are still holding relatively stronger pricing than older ones.

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

Is the Hyundai Kona safe?

• 2022: 8/10

For the safest used buy, the 2024, 2025 and 2026 models all post the highest confirmed score of 9/10.
