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

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Forward collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, lane centring assist, high beam assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear occupant warning, and safe exit warning.
• Infotainment: A 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and BlueLink connected services.
• 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. Turbos clock in at 9.0 L/100 km combined with standard AWD. During testing, we observed 8.9 L/100 km on our fuel economy loop and on the mountainous evaluation loop.

Which Hyundai Kona trim should I buy?

The 2026 Hyundai Kona offers these trims:

• Essential: The entry trim gives you the 2.0-litre engine, the 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, and the Kona’s full suite of standard driver-assistance features, making it the value-focused choice for shoppers who want the core package.
• 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, making it the best-value trim for many buyers.
• N Line: This is the performance and feature-rich choice, with the turbocharged 1.6-litre engine, eight-speed automatic, available AWD, two 12.3-inch screens, and the most advanced available driver-assistance and parking tech.

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 and more chances to find the right colour, trim, and price. They also tend to attract shoppers looking for newer features without stepping all the way into the newest model year.

What is the Hyundai Kona's resale value?

The Kona’s used prices are moving lower across the board, which is good news if you’re shopping for value. The biggest drops are in the newer model years, while the smaller declines still point to a market that is giving buyers more room to negotiate.

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