Hyundai Kona

The Hyundai Kona is a small but spacious SUV with styling that looks like it’s straight off the set of a futuristic movie. If you considered the old Kona but found it a bit tight inside, the latest version is actually longer, wider and taller, and therefore more practical than before.

That means it’s a bit like your bank balance, because bigger really does mean better.

And with so many other brilliant small family SUVs to consider, that extra practicality certainly helps make a case for the Kona. Your hard-earned cash could also be spent on a Skoda Kamiq, Volkswagen T-Cross, Peugeot 2008, or the ever-popular Ford Puma. You could even consider the bigger Citroen C5 Aircross at this price.

Like the Peugeot and Citroen in particular, the Hyundai is a bit of a head-turner. But where those cars are more Posh Spice chic, the Kona looks more like Futuristic Robot Spice. There are full-width light bars at the front and back that give off real sci-fi vibes and work well with the chunky bodywork.
