Taking on the ever-growing subcompact crossover SUV market is the Hyundai Kona - launched in 2017 for the 2018 model year.

Being a crossover SUV it possesses the benefits of a car that size with lots of interior room for passengers and luggage but with a lighter-weight platform not designed to go off-road.

The subcompact classification comes from the very small size of the car, similar to a compact car like the Kia Rio.

Around the world, the car goes under different names such as in Portugal where it is called the Kauai and in China as the Encino.

Underneath the Kona is a shared platform with their local South-Korean partner the Kia Seltos.

Sales of the car have grown year-on-year thanks to tweaks and a face-lift in 2020, the car has sold more than a quarter of a million examples for 2018 and 2019 each year.

In terms of safety, the car was awarded 5 out of 5 stars by Euro NCAP and fell back slightly on pedestrian safety and driving aids.

Customers can opt for a variety of engines ranging from a modest 1 litre turbodiesel through to a torquey 2 litre gasoline.

Transmissions are available in 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic or 7-speed dual-clutch for fast gear changes.
