The Kona is an SUV that delivers, especially in terms of driving comfort. It's noticeably easier to get into and settle into as you get older. Less feisty than the MG4 but slightly more economical.

Good car overall, but the finish isn't top‑notch — the paint is very fragile and chips at the slightest knock.
