Is a Hyundai Kona right for your trip?
Real travel scenarios, with an honest verdict for each.
Couples on a coastal road trip
Good visibility and room for two large cases make it a natural pick for the Great Ocean Road or the South West Edge.
Small families
Two adults and two children fit, with a pram or soft bags in the boot.
City stays
Compact enough for city parking, with a little more space than a hatch.
Outback or unsealed roads
Most Konas are front-wheel drive. Treat it like a car on unsealed roads and check your agreement.
Before you book a Kona
Australian driving
The higher driving position helps on winding coastal roads, but a compact SUV is not a 4WD.
Airport pick-up
Compact SUVs are popular for holiday rentals. Book early for school holidays at Cairns, Gold Coast and Hobart airports.
One-way rentals
Good for long one-way coastal drives such as Brisbane to Cairns, where luggage space matters.
Versions
Rental fleets may carry petrol, hybrid or electric Konas. If you need a particular one, check before you pay.
