The 2020 Hyundai Kona is a stylish and spirited subcompact SUV that stands out in its highly competitive segment with its adventurous exterior design and engaging driving dynamics. It offers a choice of two four-cylinder engines, including a punchier 175-hp turbocharged 1.6-liter available on higher trims, which provides brisk acceleration paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Inside, the cabin offers a comfortable and well-executed design with quality materials and good ergonomics, though rear seat and cargo space are on the tighter side compared to some rivals. The Kona also impresses with its standard suite of driver-assistance features and a user-friendly infotainment system with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, all backed by Hyundai's notably generous warranty coverage. Overall, the 2020 Kona is a compelling choice for buyers seeking a fun-to-drive, well-equipped, and distinctively styled small crossover.
