So this is a world away from even the more potent petrol Konas, let alone the electric flagship.<\/p>\n<h4>More reviews <\/h4>\n<h5>Car group tests<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Old car vs new car: Rover 200 vs Hyundai Kona<\/li>\n<h5>In-depth reviews<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Hyundai Kona review<\/li>\n<li>Hyundai Kona Electric (2018-2023) review<\/li>\n<li>Hyundai Kona (2018-2023) review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Road tests<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>New Hyundai Kona N Line 2023 review<\/li>\n<li>New Hyundai Kona Hybrid 2023 review<\/li>\n<li>New Hyundai Kona Electric 2023 review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But here\u2019s the thing: it doesn\u2019t feel like the poor relation when you\u2019re driving it. In fact the Kona 1.0 is rather sweet, helped by 17-inch wheels wrapped in chunky 215\/60-profile tyres. If anything, there\u2019s more compliance in this car than in higher-end editions, helped further, no doubt, by the fact that it weighs a few hundred kilos less than those carrying hefty EV batteries. There\u2019s some body roll in corners, but actually throw the thing towards an apex and you\u2019ll feel a very progressive transition between leaning on those tall sidewalls and actually breaking traction to push wide. It\u2019s not exactly fun, but it is safe and predictable.<\/p>\n<p>The 1.0 feels quicker than its raw numbers suggest, too \u2013 never anything approaching properly fast, but equally, always pretty comfortable with its own size and weight. There\u2019s a six-speed manual gearbox as standard and it has a pleasingly accurate and relatively short throw; we wish it had the old i20 mild hybrid\u2019s trick of turning off its engine while you\u2019re cruising along, just for a slight increase in efficiency, but the engine\u2019s still barely hitting 2,000rpm when you\u2019re at a fast motorway pace. And at that point a bit of wind rush is probably the worst intrusion you\u2019re going to experience.<\/p>\n<p>The mature driving experience is completed by a cabin that is, of course, every bit as spacious as in other Konas \u2013 a proper smally family SUV, in a way that the first-gen model could never manage. There\u2019s space for four grown-ups on board and the boot capacity is 466 litres, or 1,300 litres if you fold down the back seats. Those numbers look competitive against all but the most capacious family hatchbacks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--sB_UN-Oi--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1697467831\/autoexpress\/2023\/10\/Hyundai%20Kona%20Advance%201.0%20petrol-11.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>The interior finish itself is a little less flash in the entry spec but, hard door armrests aside, there\u2019s padding in most of the key areas, and everywhere you might prod or press feels reassuringly well made.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--2ndlamRb--\/v1683626472\/assets\/partners\/powered-by-motorway_150x70.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"icon\" class=\"imgHideOnJavaScriptDisabled_eexbs16lnuv0qgh polaris__image\" height=\"20\" src=\"\/public\/trustpilot-icon.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Advance trim has an alarming number of blanked-off buttons at either side of the gear stick, but it still manages to tick almost all of the right boxes on spec. You get front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, dual-zone air conditioning, a pair of 12.3-inch displays (one for the instruments, one for the infotainment and standard navigation one), four USB-C ports, LED headlights and tail-lights, and cruise control. The onboard interfaces are easy to use and quick to respond, and Hyundai has wisely seen fit to include conventional heating and ventilation controls on the metallic panel beneath the widescreen infotainment panel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll have to opt for N Line if you fancy heated seats, though; they\u2019re not even available as an option on Advance, which has only a single possible add-on: metallic paint, beyond the standard Mirage Green of the car pictured here.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, and perhaps even more than the Kona Electric, this feels like a load of sophisticated small SUV for less than \u00a326k. Hyundai has already slung a \u00a31,000 deposit contribution behind its finance offers too, so putting down \u00a34,400 brings monthly payments in at just over \u00a3300 (three-year deal, 10,000 miles per year). It\u2019s not as affordable as some \u2013 notably Peugeot\u2019s revamped 2008 \u2013 but it\u2019s certainly in the same ballpark as the likes of the Ford Puma.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Model:<\/td>\n<td>Hyundai Kona Advance 1.0T 120PS manual<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price:<\/td>\n<td>\u00a325,725<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Engine:<\/td>\n<td>1.0-litre 3cyl turbo petrol<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power\/torque:<\/td>\n<td>118bhp\/172Nm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Transmission:<\/td>\n<td>Six-speed manual, four-wheel drive<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>0-62mph:<\/td>\n<td>11.8 seconds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Top speed:<\/td>\n<td>112mph<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Economy:<\/td>\n<td>48.7mpg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CO2 emissions:<\/td>\n<td>131g\/km<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dimensions (l\/w\/h):<\/td>\n<td>4,350\/1,825\/1,575mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>On sale:<\/td>\n<td>Now<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/hyundai\/kona\/361255\/new-hyundai-kona-advance-10-petrol-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The entry-level Hyundai Kona misses out on some tech and performance but feels none the worse for it at what<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242014,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
