CarGurus Analysis: 2025 Hyundai Kona
overall

Summary
With 118 currently listed for sale near Rochester, NY and an average price of $22,102, 37.3% of 2025 Hyundai Konas for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2025 Hyundai Kona 4.8 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it an 8 / 10.
100.0% of 2025 Kona models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2025 Hyundai Kona stands out as a mostly unchanged second-generation subcompact SUV, and that is part of its appeal. With no major changes beyond a couple of new trim levels, it continues to lean on the strengths that already made it a compelling choice: a spacious cabin, plenty of cargo space, and standard advanced safety features. For buyers who want a small SUV that feels practical and well equipped without chasing constant redesigns, that steady formula is a strength.
Its main drawback is that performance is fairly pedestrian, so it is not the choice for shoppers who prioritize quick acceleration. The design may also be polarizing, which means the Kona’s styling will likely be a deciding factor for some buyers. Even so, the 2025 Hyundai Kona remains attractive because it combines useful space, modern tech, and a comfortable ride in a segment where value and everyday livability matter a great deal.

Reviewed a 2025 Hyundai SEL Convenience FWD on Feb 28, 2025
The 2025 Hyundai Kona SEL Convenience is a great subcompact SUV with a modern design, solid tech features, and a comfortable ride. The wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, heated front seats, and digital gauge cluster make it feel upscale for its price. It has decent cargo space and improved rear legroom, making it more practical than before. The 2.0L engine is fine for daily driving but lacks power for quicker acceleration. Some interior materials could be better, and there’s no power-adjustable passenger seat, which is a minor downside. Compared to rivals like the Honda HR-V or Mazda CX-30, it holds its own with value and features but could use a bit more refinement.

I love the car’s features. It is definitely good value. The only thing that’s missing is heated seats and steering wheel but it has cloth seats so not too bad.

Yes — the 2025 Hyundai Kona earns a 4.8/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. It also earns an 8/10 expert rating, with especially strong marks for technology and safety.
The model scores 9/10 across Technology and Safety.
Owners consistently praise its modern design, tech features, and comfortable ride. The wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and touchscreen radio come up repeatedly as highlights, along with the Kona’s practical everyday feel.
The main trade-offs are its fairly pedestrian performance and the fact that some shoppers want better interior materials and a power-adjustable passenger seat. That makes it a better fit if you value comfort, usability, and features over quick acceleration.
The Kona’s spacious cabin and plenty of cargo space make it especially appealing if you want a small SUV that feels practical and well equipped. With 36.8% of listings priced as good or great deals, the market still gives you room to shop selectively.
Is the 2025 Hyundai Kona reliable?
Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Drivers describe the Kona as modern, comfortable, and easy to live with, and the feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable in daily use. The owner comments also emphasize the tech and ride quality, which usually matters most when you’re counting on a used SUV for regular commuting and errands.
The expert evaluation also supports that impression by describing the Kona as a practical, well-equipped small SUV with a strong value proposition. Hyundai’s warranty coverage adds another layer of reassurance for used buyers who want lower ownership risk.
For a used buyer, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about choosing a well-kept example with the features and condition you want.
What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Hyundai Kona?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re comparing multiple trims or higher-mileage examples. Focus on condition, feature content, and whether the equipment level matches what you expect from the trim.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The SE, SEL, SEL Convenience, N Line S, N Line, and Limited trims differ in appearance and equipment, with the base trims missing some of the more upscale touches. The SEL Convenience stands out as the value-oriented choice because it adds useful tech and comfort features without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
- Powertrain: The SE, SEL, and SEL Convenience use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, while N Line S, N Line, and Limited use a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. The base setup prioritizes efficiency, while the turbo engine feels more muscular.
- Safety package: Standard equipment includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Safe Exit Warning. SEL Convenience and above add Highway Driving Assist and enhanced Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with junction turning and door opening detection.
- Infotainment: Every trim gets a 12.3-inch central touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. SEL Convenience and above add wireless smartphone charging, a digital key, and a full 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
- Fuel efficiency: The FWD 2.0-liter base engine returns 31 mpg combined, while AWD drops that figure by around 3 mpg. The turbo engine is rated at 28 mpg combined in FWD form and 26 mpg combined with AWD.
Which 2025 Hyundai Kona trim should I buy?
The 2025 Hyundai Kona is offered in 6 trim levels: SE, SEL, SEL Convenience, N Line S, N Line, and Limited.
Here's the short version:
- SE: This is the entry point if you want the lowest price and the core Kona experience, including the standard touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and the full suite of basic safety tech. It makes sense if you want the essentials and plan to keep the budget tight.
- SEL: This trim adds a bit more polish without moving too far upmarket, and it’s a sensible step if you want a better-equipped daily driver. It’s a good fit if you want value but don’t need the extra content of the SEL Convenience.
- SEL Convenience: This is the best-value trim because it adds heated front seats, the larger digital display setup, Highway Driving Assist, built-in navigation, a wireless phone charger, digital key, and a WiFi hotspot. If you want the strongest mix of price and equipment, this is the one to target.
- N Line S: This trim brings the turbocharged engine and a sportier appearance treatment, making it the first choice if you want more punch without going all the way to the top trim.
- N Line: This is the better pick if you want the turbo engine plus the upgraded audio and more premium feel. It suits you if you care about both performance and cabin experience.
- Limited: This is the most fully equipped Kona, adding the highest-end convenience and parking tech, along with the most upscale feature set. Choose it if you want the most content and don’t mind paying for it.
Safety equipment is standard across the lineup, while SEL Convenience and above add more advanced driver-assistance features.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Hyundai Kona?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.
- Deal availability: 36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 3,666 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.22% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 91.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $21,764, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2025 Hyundai Kona's resale value?
The current average of $21,764 sits slightly below last year's $24,514.
That price movement suggests the Kona has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future resale stability if you buy at the right price. For you, that means the current market may be more favorable than it was a year ago, especially if you plan to keep the vehicle for several years.
A used Kona with strong equipment and clean history should remain easier to move than a stripped or poorly maintained example. The combination of broad appeal, strong owner satisfaction, and practical features helps support demand.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2025 Hyundai Kona safe?
The 2025 Hyundai Kona has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.
Standard safety equipment includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Safe Exit Warning. SEL Convenience and above add Highway Driving Assist and enhanced Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with junction turning and door opening detection.
That means even the base Kona gives you a strong safety foundation, while higher trims add more advanced driver-assistance support. If you want the most convenience-focused safety tech, look at SEL Convenience or above.
Should I buy a 2025 Hyundai Kona or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2025 if:
- 36.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.22% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- It keeps the second-generation Kona’s practical space, modern tech, and standard advanced safety features.
Consider the 2024 if:
- At $21,398, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $21,764 average.
- It brings a fresh look, new tech, and a strong value proposition.
Consider the 2026 if:
- It offers more standard safety features and a simplified lineup.
- It remains one of the biggest small crossovers in passenger room and cargo volume.
The bottom line: If you want the best mix of current pricing, strong owner satisfaction, and a well-equipped second-generation Kona, the 2025 is the smart default. If your priority is saving a bit more upfront, the 2024 is the price-sensitive alternative worth a close look.
