Cheaper and better-equipped than rivals
Spacious interior

By: 
carexpert.com.au

PROS
Really sharp infotainment and instrument display
Gutsy little engine with all-wheel drive
Looks properly distinctive without becoming ugly

CONS
It's a bit pricey
This car's DCT had a harsh upshift from first into second
Not particularly spacious inside for a crossover

By: 
carexpert.com.au

Hyundai's compact SUV received the sporty N-Line treatment in its 2021 update. Is it a good choice for those who can’t stretch to the full-fat Kona N?

PROS
Engine’s mid-range performance
Well-judged ride/handling balance
Comfortable seats front and rear

CONS
Poor value compared with i30 N-Lines
Less boot and cabin space than i30
Gearbox calibration
Intrusive lane-keep system
10,000km service intervals
