2024 Hyundai i30 v Hyundai Kona Comparison | Outgoing small car and incoming small SUV head-to-head

[@georgeboro5614]

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€

i 30 is currently the last car in romania that can have a naturally aspirated mpi engine with manual transmission. Except for the newly introduced MG Chinese cars we don’t trust yet. Twenty grand € for the middle version with alloy wheels and heated seats and steering.

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.

Great review! The i30 is a great car. Your voice is very soothing - like a cat's purr 👍

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 $$$.

[@MrLincoln87]

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/

Keep it up!

Great test, just may sway a few towards the sedan. But I doubt it😅.

[@carsales]

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.

[@lukuscannon9697]

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

[@carsales]

Yes, a lot of people have been left feeling disappointed by dual-clutch transmission reliability issues.

[@sheezy2526]

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

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.,
