Summary
$34,150 gets buyers the 2026 Hyundai Kona Limited before options, with the reviewed test vehicle reaching $36,385 including orange paint, mats and fees.
A 190-hp, 1.6-liter turbo four and eight-speed automatic give the top trim stronger around-town performance than the base 2.0-liter engine, though the ride stays slightly stiff and not truly sporty.
Two large screens, over-the-air updates, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose audio, a 360-degree monitor and heated-and-cooled front seats headline a cabin the review says is easy to use but mixed in material quality.
Fuel economy lands at 25 mpg city, 28 highway and 26 combined, while rear-seat and cargo space are described as merely adequate for the small-SUV class.
Against rivals such as the Chevrolet Trax, Toyota Corolla Cross and Honda HR-V, the review says the Kona works best as a well-rounded urban commuter, but argues lower trims are less compelling than SEL Premium or Limited.
