160,000 KM – BUT LOOK AT THE HISTORY AND CONDITION.

Yes, this 2022 Hyundai Kona Active has travelled 160,000km.

We're not going to hide it.

Because when you look at the other side of the story, this is actually a very appealing used SUV.

Full dealership service history.

Excellent condition inside.

Excellent condition outside.

And a late-model, economical and very well-equipped compact SUV finished in a great-looking Blue.

This is a perfect example of why you should never judge a used vehicle on the odometer alone.

160,000 KM – AND IT PRESENTS BEAUTIFULLY

Kilometres tell you how far a vehicle has travelled.

They don't tell you how it has been treated.

And that's where this Kona stands out.

Despite travelling 160,000km, it presents in excellent condition both inside and out.

Open the doors and the interior doesn't present like you'd expect from a vehicle with these kilometres.

Walk around the outside and the same story continues.

It's clear this Kona has been looked after.

And when we're assessing a higher-km vehicle, that's exactly what we want to see.

FULL DEALERSHIP SERVICE HISTORY

Then we get to what may be the most important part of the story:

Full dealership service history.

For us, that matters enormously.

Regular servicing is important on any used vehicle, but once a vehicle has travelled higher kilometres, documented maintenance becomes even more valuable.

Rather than wondering whether servicing was skipped or trying to piece together its history from a handful of receipts, you've got a properly documented dealership service history.

160,000km with excellent maintenance history is a very different proposition to 160,000km without it.

A GREAT LITTLE SUV FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

The Kona became enormously popular for a reason.

It's compact enough to make city driving and parking easy, while still giving you the higher seating position and practicality people want from an SUV.

Five doors.

Five seats.

Fold-down rear seating.

A practical luggage area.

It's easy to manoeuvre around town, easy to park at the shops and comfortable enough for longer trips.

For a first car, commuter, runabout or someone downsizing from a larger SUV, the Kona makes a lot of sense.

ACTIVE – A BIG STEP UP FROM A BASIC MODEL

This is the Active, which adds some very worthwhile equipment.

Inside you get a leather-appointed interior, including leather-appointed seats, steering wheel and gear selector.

Outside, 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails and rear privacy glass give it a much more upmarket appearance.

You also get heated and power-folding exterior mirrors and rear parking sensors.

So while it's an affordable compact SUV, it certainly doesn't feel like a bare-bones one.

APPLE CARPLAY & ANDROID AUTO

The Kona gives you the smartphone technology most people actually use every day.

Connect a compatible phone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and you've got convenient access to your navigation, music, podcasts, calls and messages through the vehicle's infotainment system.

There's also Bluetooth connectivity, a six-speaker audio system and wireless smartphone charging for compatible devices.

For a 2022 vehicle, it has all the everyday connectivity you'd expect.

HYUNDAI SMARTSENSE

There's also plenty of technology working behind the scenes.

Hyundai SmartSense includes driver-assistance features such as:

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.

Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go.

Lane Keeping Assist.

Lane Following Assist.

Driver Attention Warning.

And:

Rear Occupant Alert.

For a compact SUV that may be used as a first car or family runabout, that's a very useful suite of technology.

2.0L PETROL – SIMPLE AND ECONOMICAL

Under the bonnet is Hyundai's 2.0-litre SmartStream petrol engine.

It produces:

110kW of power.

And:

180Nm of torque.

It's paired with a smooth CVT automatic transmission driving the front wheels.

Official combined fuel consumption is just:

6.2L/100KM

That makes the Kona particularly well suited to commuting and everyday running.

It also uses regular 91 RON unleaded petrol, helping keep things straightforward at the bowser.

DON'T JUST LOOK AT THE ODOMETER – LOOK AT THE CAR

If your first reaction to 160,000km is to scroll past, we'd suggest doing something different.

Come and actually look at it.

Look at the interior.

Look at the exterior.

Look through the service history.

Then drive it.

Because this is exactly the sort of higher-km vehicle where the condition and maintenance history tell you far more than one number on the dashboard.

And because the kilometres are already reflected in the used-car equation, it could represent a very smart way of getting into a 2022-model SUV without paying the premium generally attached to a much lower-km example.

THE RIGHT CAR FOR SOMEONE WHO BUYS ON CONDITION

Would we pretend 160,000km is low?

Absolutely not.

But would we take a properly maintained, full dealership-history vehicle in excellent condition over one that's been neglected?

Every time.

That's the buyer this Kona will appeal to.

Someone who understands that maintenance matters.

Someone who looks at condition.

And someone who wants the value of a late-model, well-equipped SUV without necessarily paying for an artificially low odometer reading.
