Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Much faster than you'd expect
Decent battery range
Roomy and comfortable

Cons
Touchscreen could be easier to use
Not cheap to buy
Doesn't handle as well as it goes

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
Design,
overall build quality,
performance,
handling and ride

Cons
Expensive for a ‘small’ SUV,
some of the interior certainly doesn't match the price

By: 
topgear.com

PROS
Trendy design,
powerful electric powertrain,
thoughtful interior storage solutions.

CONS
Some rivals offer more driving range,
heavy and feels like it in corners,
high starting price.

By: 
caranddriver.com

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
