Answered by Graham Smith · 01 Mar 2019

Kia has a seven-year warranty. Holden, Ford, Hyundai and Mazda have five-year warranties. Toyota is currently three years, but is going to five. Look at the small models from those carmakers and you’ll find models to fit your budget.

Hyundai i10: Is it front-wheel drive?

The i10 series, Hyundai's city and subcompact class entries, are all front-engined, front-wheel-drive layout. This is true for the i10 and Grand i10.

Can a Hyundai Kona tow a trailer?
Answered by Iain Kelly · 22 Feb 2019

Hyundai's Kona small SUV carries a tow capacity of 1250kg (braked) or 600kg (unbraked), but that is total weight so you really shouldn't expect it to handle much more than light loads in very small trailers.

Hyundai Tucson 2005: Why is it stalling?
Answered by Graham Smith · 01 Mar 2019

The problem is with the cold idle speed, which should be higher than the regular idle speed when it’s warmed up. There should be a stepper motor that sets the cold idle speed higher than normal, so check that.

Is the Hyundai Kona all wheel drive or 4 wheel drive?
Answered by Iain Kelly · 22 Feb 2019

The Hyundai Kona doesn't have the option for switchable diff locking, or a low-range ratio gearbox, so it should be considered all wheel drive instead of a 4x4 (which includes those features for off-road driving).

Hyundai Kona: How long is it?
Answered by Iain Kelly · 16 Feb 2019

The Hyundai Kona is 4165mm long

Hyundai Kona: Is it a good car?
Answered by Iain Kelly · 15 Feb 2019

Hyundai's Kona has won a lot of praise thanks to its generous spec levels, attractive styling and good on-road manners. If you're looking for a compact SUV similar to a Mazda CX-3 I would take a good look at the Kona as Hyundai have been building seriously impressive cars for over 10 years now.

What is the fuel consumption on a 2019 Hyundai Kona?
Answered by Graham Smith · 01 Mar 2019

The combined average is 72 L/100 km, the extra urban consumption is 5.8 L/100km, and the urban consumption is 9.7 L/100 km.

Hyundai Elantra 2018: Can't select drive mode
Answered by Graham Smith · 22 Feb 2019

It’s not likely to be a safety concern; you can still drive the car, as you normally would no matter what mode it’s in. The differences in the modes usually comes down to shift points. In ECO it will shift at lower revs than when in NORM, and at higher revs when in SPORT. Hyundai has informed you that a fix is coming, so I would suggest you do as they have said, and wait.
