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.

More modern car with much more advanced technology than the S-Cross. The S-Cross is functional, economical and good, but dated.

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