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

Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: Fuel economy for the FWD 2.0-litre base engine stands at 7.5 litres per 100 kilometres combined, and opting for AWD sees that number rise by a litre; go for the Kona’s turbo engine in N Line trim and the Natural Resources Canada estimate is 9.0 L/100 km combined with standard AWD.
• Infotainment: The 2025 Kona continues to offer a 12.3-inch central touchscreen infotainment display across all trims, with wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay as standard.
• Safety package: Standard equipment across all trims 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.

Which Hyundai Kona trim should I buy?

The 2025 Hyundai Kona offers these trims:

• Essential: This is the entry point, and it brings the 12.3-inch central touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay, plus the 2.0-litre engine and IVT. It suits you if you want the Kona’s core tech and design at the lowest price.
• Preferred: This trim adds more visual polish and is the best-value choice for many shoppers, especially when paired with the Trend package. It suits you if you want a stronger mix of comfort, convenience, and everyday usability.
• N Line: This is the sportier trim, with the turbocharged 1.6-litre engine, eight-speed automatic transmission, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and available premium audio and navigation. It suits you if you want the most performance and the most upscale tech in the range.

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 used picks because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right colour, trim, and price. They also usually reflect the model years that shoppers are cross-shopping most actively.

What is the Hyundai Kona's resale value?

Most Kona model years are showing double-digit year-over-year price declines, which creates better opportunities for used buyers. The newer years are also falling, but by smaller amounts than the older ones in the table. That pattern suggests recent inventory is still adjusting while giving shoppers more room to negotiate than before.

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