Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2022 Hyundai Kona in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Request as much service history as possible - regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Test the automatic cold from startup — any shudder, hesitation or warning lights on first takeoff should be investigated further. Inspect lower sills, wheel arches and underbody for rust - especially on coastal or South Island cars. Check all electronics work - climate control, infotainment, reverse camera, and any safety tech fitted. Confirm generation from the grille/screen — OS facelift vs all-new 2023 Kona. Same 2.0 vs 1.6T vs EV split as 2018–2020. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings - the best-value example is often the best-kept one not the cheapest.

Question 4

Is the 2022 Hyundai Kona a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2022 Hyundai Kona in this catalogue window is the facelifted first-gen OS (PE), still 2.0 6AT, 1.6T DCT AWD or Electric. Hyundai's next-generation Kona (5-star 2023 ANCAP) is a different car that only starts to overlap at the very end of 2023 — check you are not mixing them.
