Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
We compare the new Hyundai Kona and older i30 to find out if you really need an SUV or whether a hatchback will do Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
When people are out car shopping, they don’t just compare vehicles across different brands in their price range - they also consider models within the same brand’s line-up.
That’s what this comparison between two of Australia’s most popular new models - the Hyundai i30 hatch and Kona small SUV - is all about.
Here you have a small hatchback that’s traditionally been the most popular choice in the Hyundai line-up, taking on the second-generation Hyundai Kona compact SUV, which is expected to soon become the brand’s bigger seller.
So is it just fashion driving the rise of the SUV, or does the more expensive Kona present advantages the i30 just cannot match? We’ve stripped this comparo back to the bare basics by testing the cheapest variants in both line-ups. Let battle commence!

Hello from Greece. Congratulations for the review clarity!I m an owner of a 2023 i30 1.5lt with 110 ps and i can say it is a value for its money at C segment.Here the price is around 20.000€
Great review! The i30 is a great car. Your voice is very soothing - like a cat's purr 👍
The i30 is great. I got the 2019 N Fastback and traded it in for a 2yo i20 N-Line in 2023. Still need to drive the Kona, i only got the Tucson as a loaner.

The Koreans do very good small cars, no doubt about it.
Whoa hang on!? So no more i30? Or this the last of this generation ? And a new gen i30 around the corner? Would have been interesting comparing the i30 elite as well, seeing as its closer in price to the base kona

There's a facelifted i30 hatch coming later this year. All the upcoming vehicles for this year and beyond listed on this page: www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/new-car-calendar-11034/
With The first model year 2018 model PD turbo premium, Hyundai got it right.
At my age I would go for the i30, cannot get in or out of them thus saving me $$$.
Great test, just may sway a few towards the sedan. But I doubt it😅.

We've been really fascinated by these intra-brand tests. Our own search data across our sites show that a LOT of people are cross-shopping vehicles like this.
Yeah got rid of the awesome 1.6 DCT in N line and replace that with some shitty CVT along with one of the most popular cars in Australia. Good job Hyandai

Keep it up!
I would hands down go for the i30. For the simple fact, it has 6 speed, not CVT

Yes, a lot of people have been left feeling disappointed by dual-clutch transmission reliability issues.
1st here to like and comment!!!
I drove and i30, Kona and a T-Roc City Life. The T-Roc destroys the Kona as a car and in value and the i30 drives so much better than the Kona. The Kona's styling and interior, for me at least is wooden and try hard. I'm not a fan of the Kona and would not consider one.,
Great review! The i30 is a great car. Your voice is very soothing - like a cat's purr 👍
