CarGurus Analysis: 2022 Hyundai Kona
overall

Summary
With 163 currently listed for sale near Rochester, NY and an average price of $18,495, 25.2% of 2022 Hyundai Konas for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Hyundai Kona 4.92 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.67 / 10.
99.4% of 2022 Kona models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Hyundai Kona stands out as a subcompact SUV that has grown more polished without losing its playful character. Hyundai describes it as having a more sophisticated look and added performance, and this model year brings the Kona’s first significant refresh, with updated exterior styling plus upgraded convenience, connectivity, and safety features. It also offers multiple powertrain options, which helps give buyers more choice than many rivals in this class.
What makes the 2022 Kona especially appealing is that it is meant to be fun to drive while still representing strong value for money. The available sporty variants add a legitimate performance angle at a budget price, broadening its appeal beyond the typical commuter role. At the same time, it is not the roomiest choice: the back seat is cramped and cargo space is limited, so shoppers who need maximum practicality may want to look elsewhere.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Hyundai Kona?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment. Focus on overall condition, because the Kona’s value depends heavily on finding one that has been cared for rather than simply one with the lowest price.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The base SE is the simplest version, while the SEL adds more convenience and the N Line and Kona N bring a much sportier look and feel. The base trim also misses some of the richer tech and comfort features found higher up the range.
- Powertrain: The SE and SEL use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a CVT, while the N Line and Limited get a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with a seven-speed DCT. The Kona N uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with an N eight-speed wet DCT and performance-focused driving features.
- Safety package: Standard equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, lane-following assistance, driver attention warning, and rear occupant alert. Available upgrades include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, blind-spot warning with collision avoidance, Highway Drive Assist, rear cross-traffic alert with collision avoidance, and Safe Exit Warning.
- Infotainment: The SE gets an 8-inch display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the Limited and Kona N use a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation and traffic information. Wireless device charging and Hyundai Blue Link appear on higher trims, and the larger screen uses wired smartphone integration.
- Fuel efficiency: FWD Konas except the Kona N are rated at 32 mpg combined, AWD versions are rated at 29-30 mpg combined depending on engine, and the Kona N returns 23 mpg combined. The Kona Electric is rated at 120 MPGe.
Which 2022 Hyundai Kona trim should I buy?
The 2022 Hyundai Kona is offered in 5 trim levels: SE, SEL, N Line, Limited, Kona N.
Here's the short version:
- SE: This is the entry point, and it gives you the refreshed styling, the 8-inch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the core safety suite. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Kona lineup.
- SEL: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds useful convenience and connectivity upgrades without jumping too far in price. It’s the trim to target if you want a more complete daily driver without paying for the sportier or more premium versions.
- N Line: This is the sweet spot if you want the strongest mix of value and personality. It adds the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine, sportier styling, and more upscale tech availability, and the expert notes call it nearly unbeatable bang for the buck.
- Limited: This is the more comfort- and tech-focused choice, with the larger 10.25-inch touchscreen and premium audio standard. It suits you best if you want the most polished everyday Kona without going all the way to the performance model.
- Kona N: This is the enthusiast pick, with the most powerful engine, the most aggressive chassis tuning, and exclusive performance hardware and drive modes. Choose it only if you want the Kona’s full performance character rather than just extra equipment.
The safety package is solid across the lineup, but some advanced driver-assistance features remain available rather than standard on lower trims.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Hyundai Kona?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,886 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.50% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 83.4% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $17,632, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2022 Hyundai Kona's resale value?
The current average of $17,632 sits slightly below last year's $19,269.
That softer pricing can help you as a buyer now, but it also means a future seller may need to be realistic about expectations. If you buy well and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you’re starting from a lower entry point than last year’s market.
The Kona’s broad appeal helps support demand, especially because it combines strong value, good tech, and a fun driving character. Higher-trim examples with desirable equipment may hold buyer interest better than bare-bones versions.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.92/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2022 Hyundai Kona safe?
The 2022 Hyundai Kona earns five-star ratings for overall crash protection from NHTSA, with five-star ratings for front and side crash protection and four-star ratings for rollover resistance. It also earns a Good rating from IIHS across all six crashworthiness tests, though its child-seat anchors received a Marginal rating.
It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.
Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assistance, lane-following assistance, driver attention warning, and rear occupant alert. Available features include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, blind-spot warning with collision avoidance, Highway Drive Assist, rear cross-traffic alert with collision avoidance, and Safe Exit Warning.
The main caveat is the child-seat anchor result, which is the kind of detail you should pay attention to if you regularly install car seats. If that matters to you, inspect the rear seat setup carefully before you buy.
Should I buy a 2022 Hyundai Kona or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2022 if:
- 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.50% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.92/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- It brings the first significant refresh, plus upgraded convenience, connectivity, and safety features.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $15,560, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $17,632 average.
- It offers strong styling, decent specs, and plenty of standard features.
The bottom line: If you want the refreshed look, better tech, and broader trim mix, the 2022 is the better all-around pick. If your budget is tighter and you’re willing to give up the refresh, the 2021 can still make sense as a lower-cost alternative.
