By James Cleary · 09 Jul 2023
As the name implies, the Premium is the flagship grade in Hyundai’s new second-generation  Kona line-up. At just over 4.3m long, 1.8m wide and close to 1.6m tall, the technically 'small' SUV is appreciably bigger on the outside and prices range from $39,500, before on-road costs, for the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol model, through $42,500 for an N Line version of the same car and finally $46,500

The Hyundai Kona has been with us for some years now, more than I actually thought.

By Laura Berry · 11 Mar 2021
