Looking for an SUV that's practical without becoming unnecessarily large?
The Hyundai KONA could be just the right size.
Bold styling gives it plenty of road presence, while clever use of interior space means there's considerably more room inside than its compact SUV proportions might suggest.
Choose straightforward turbocharged petrol power or the additional efficiency of a self-charging hybrid – with no need to plug in.
Add a spacious boot, modern digital cockpit and comprehensive driver-assistance technology and the KONA becomes a very easy SUV to live with.
One of the advantages of the KONA range is being able to choose a powertrain that suits the way you actually drive.
The petrol KONA keeps things simple.
Its 1.0-litre T-GDi turbocharged petrol engine provides responsive everyday performance and is an appealing choice if you're looking for a conventional petrol SUV.
There's no battery to charge and no change required to your normal driving routine – simply fill up and go.
It's particularly well suited to drivers who want the KONA's extra space and higher driving position without necessarily needing an electrified powertrain.
Want to improve efficiency without having to plug your car in?
The KONA Self-Charging Hybrid combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and battery.
The car automatically manages petrol and electric power as you drive, recovering energy during braking and deceleration to recharge its hybrid battery.
There's no need to connect it to a charger.
That makes the KONA Hybrid particularly appealing for drivers who want some of the benefits of electric driving while retaining the convenience and familiarity of petrol.
The KONA is certainly not an SUV designed to disappear into the background.
Its distinctive Seamless Horizon Lamp stretches across the front of the vehicle, creating an instantly recognisable lighting signature.
Strong wheelarches, sculpted bodywork and SUV-inspired detailing give the KONA a confident stance, while the rear lighting continues its distinctive futuristic theme.
Despite its bold appearance, the KONA remains compact enough to feel completely at home on busy urban roads.
The current-generation KONA has grown compared with its predecessor, and much of that additional size has been used to create more room inside.
There's comfortable space for five, with useful rear passenger room and a versatile 40:20:40 split-folding rear seat.
The KONA Self-Charging Hybrid offers a generous 466-litre boot, providing plenty of room for shopping, pushchairs, suitcases and everyday family essentials. Fold the rear seats when you need additional carrying capacity and the KONA becomes even more versatile.
It's compact enough for everyday driving but spacious enough that you don't feel you've compromised by choosing a smaller SUV.
Step inside the KONA and you're greeted by a modern, uncluttered interior dominated by its panoramic digital displays.
Depending on specification, features include:
Moving the gear selector to the steering column also helps free up useful space in the centre console.
Advance provides an impressive level of standard equipment and makes a strong starting point for both petrol and Hybrid buyers.
Highlights include:
It's a well-equipped introduction to the KONA range without feeling like an entry-level car.
N Line gives the KONA a sportier personality.
Highlights include:
For drivers who like the KONA's futuristic shape but want something with a little more visual attitude, N Line is an appealing choice.
N Line S takes the sporty styling of N Line and adds additional premium technology.
Highlights include:
It combines the KONA's sportiest styling with a particularly comprehensive specification.
Ultimate takes a different approach to N Line S, concentrating on premium comfort and technology rather than overtly sporty styling.
Highlights include:
If you'd prefer a more luxurious rather than sporty KONA, Ultimate is the model to consider.
Both provide SUV-inspired styling and a raised driving position, but they cater for slightly different needs. The BAYON is the smaller and simpler option, making it particularly appealing if easy manoeuvrability and compact dimensions are your priorities.
Move up to the KONA and you gain a more substantial SUV, additional interior space and considerably more choice when it comes to powertrains and specification. KONA also gives you the option of self-charging hybrid power, while a separate fully electric KONA Electric is available if you're ready to move away from petrol altogether.
If you're downsizing from a larger SUV but still need genuine everyday practicality, the KONA can be a particularly good middle ground.
If you're curious about hybrid driving but don't want to think about charging, the KONA Hybrid provides an easy introduction.
There's no charging cable and no need for a home wallbox.
Simply drive it like a conventional automatic car and the hybrid system takes care of managing the petrol engine, electric motor and battery.
Electric assistance can be particularly useful in slower urban traffic, while the petrol engine provides the flexibility required for longer journeys.
It's electrification without having to change your routine.
The KONA offers an extensive range of intelligent safety and driver-assistance systems.
Depending on specification, features include:
These systems are designed to provide additional support whether you're navigating busy urban roads, travelling on the motorway or squeezing into a tight parking space.
Every new Hyundai KONA comes with Hyundai's 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, providing long-term reassurance from the day you drive away.
Bold enough to stand out but practical enough for everyday life, the Hyundai KONA is a compact SUV with plenty to offer.
Choose turbocharged petrol for straightforward everyday motoring or self-charging hybrid for additional electrification without the need to plug in.
With a spacious interior, generous luggage capacity, advanced connectivity and a choice of Advance, N Line, N Line S and Ultimate specifications, there's a KONA to suit a wide range of drivers.

More and more motorists are choosing to drive electric and hybrid vehicles. As such, you’ll find plenty of charging points available across the UK, whether you’re in town, at work, or on the motorway.
Charging your electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) at home is simple. You can either use a standard three-pin socket, or invest in a wallbox. The wallbox is a much faster solution, cutting charge times down by several hours. And with manufacturer deals or government incentives often available on wallboxes, it’s a cost-effective option too.
Many workplaces are starting to provide rapid-charging facilities for employees’ vehicles. Indeed, government help is available for businesses, such as the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which is provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEZ). If your workplace doesn’t yet have rapid charging, you can plug into a three-pin socket.
