Autoblog Rating

Hyundai has a winner on its hands with the little Kona. It’s a fun-to-drive, small crossover that offers all-wheel drive, multiple engine choices and solid tech. Its controversial design and cramped interior are the only things holding it back.

In a crowded subcompact crossover segment, the 2019 Hyundai Kona stands out. Its exterior design is perhaps polarizing, but it's guaranteed to get more attention than its more egg-shaped competitors. It offers two engines, one of which is average, but the other is a turbocharged unit that makes the Kona significantly quicker than the slow norm for this class. Both engines can be had with all-wheel drive, and every Kona is surprisingly fun to drive. Add in a user-friendly, albeit small interior, and the Kona is one of the best subcompact crossover choices.
