2026 Hyundai Kona review
Hyundai Kona: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
9.3/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Hyundai Kona sits near the top of its class. Standard driver-assist suite; roomy second row and flexible cargo floor. Touch-only climate controls on some trims and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $26,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Replaced an older Hyundai with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.
