Why buy a used Hyundai Kona?
The last few years have seen a massive increase in small SUV sales. These vehicles offer a high driving position, lots of practicality, and perhaps most importantly, good looks! Hyundai has paid attention, and introduced the Hyundai KONA into the small SUV class, competing with the likes of the Mazda CX-3. The KONA offers everything you want in a small SUV while being surprisingly fun to drive. Available at an affordable price point, the KONA is a great choice for those who don't have a fortune to spend. The car also comes with Hyundai's 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, so you won't regret purchasing it.

Different generations of used Hyundai Kona
Second Generation (2021 to Present)
For a the second generation, Hyundai rebuilt the Kona so that it could accommodate petrol, diesel or electric configurations. It also received a totally new design with an updated bumper and a broader grille, even though similar headlights were used.
Inside the cabin, a more modern style was deployed, with dual displays and an optional head-up display. Hyundai also ensured that the interior was spacious and comfortable enough for a growing family, just like the first generation Kona.

First Generation (2017 to 2021)
Hyundai released the Kona and planned to go head-to-head with the top competitors in the segment, such as the Peugeot 2008, Dacia Duster, SEAT Arona and Nissan Juke. Two light strips were placed on the upper-front part of the Kona and the headlights were mounted into the bumper. Even though there were five air intakes installed on the Kona, only three were used for cooling, while the other two were for styling purposes.
In 2020, a refresh was released with a black 3D mesh grille. There were also new LED headlights added for increased visibility. Inside the cabin, Hyundai installed a digital instrument panel that made the interior look more high-tech and functional.
