NEW Hyundai Kona 2018 Reviews My way
NEW Hyundai Kona 2018 - Review- My way.
It’s probably the most outrageously styled Hyundai the world has ever seen. The Kona is a small SUV that will compete with the Nissan Juke and Seat Arona, among others, in what’s known as the ‘B-SUV’ segment. These so-called SUVs are hugely popular, hence the droves of them that already have or are coming to market in 2017/18.
Next year Hyundai will release an all-new diesel engine and, at around the same time, a pure-EV version of the Kona. Until then there are only two engines available, both petrol, one of 1.0-litre and three-cylinders and the other of 1.6-litres and four-cylinders. Both are turbocharged.
The former gets a six-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive, while the latter gets a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and all-wheel drive. You cannot mix and match, no matter how nicely you ask your dealer.
The 1.6-litre engine is the only engine that can be paired with top ‘Premium GT’ trim, and it isn’t available elsewhere in the range. So if you want an automatic or all-wheel drive Kona, your only option is to buy one of those at nearly £4,000 more than the next most-expensive.
For that reason and a few others, we suggest you go for the 1.0-litre. It’s an eager engine, refined for its type and more economical than the 1.6. Sure you sacrifice performance – the 1.0-litre is four seconds slower from 0-62mph – but the 1.6 is thrashy when you use its performance and doesn’t feel that fast. It’s not worth the extra money.
It’s only natural that the Hyundai Kona comes packed with technology that lets you stay in touch, in control, and on track. The future is here, and with features like the Head-Up Display that has never been seen in our SUV range, the Kona is a small SUV designed for today’s hyper connected world.
Built on a high safety, lightweight body, and with three drive modes (Comfort, Eco and Sport) to choose from, the Kona is a joy to drive. Choose from either the 2.0L MPi 2WD with 6-speed automatic, or the 1.6L Turbo GDi AWD with 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. Powerful, efficient, responsive and downright fun, the Kona really does encourage you to live a more vibrant life.
There are two things we take very seriously – fun, and safety. The Kona is fun to drive, but it’s comforting to know that no matter where life takes you, you’re protected by modern safety features, including Hyundai SmartSense™.
