Hyundai Kona 2017 review
Hyundai, by its own admission, lacks wide-ranging firepower in the SUV department. It's pushing hard to fix that, and the new Kona is stage one of its crossover resurgence.

The VTi is the most affordable version of the Honda HR-V small SUV at $24,990.
Yes, it is the cheapest HR-V but the standard features list is generous with a 7.0-inch screen, sat nav, reversing camera, six-speaker stereo, climate control, cloth seats, auto halogen headlights, LED tail-lights, electric parking brake and 16-inch alloy wheels.
The VTi is powered by the same engine as all HR-Vs – a 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol which makes 105kW and 172Nm. If you’re looking for a HR-V with a manual gearbox you’ll need to buy one from the year 2000 because these days the small SUV only comes with a CVT auto transmission. All HR-Vs are front-wheel drive.
This 2017 HR-V achieved the maximum five-star safety rating from ANCAP when it was originally tested in 2016, but it doesn’t come with AEB which is now increasingly becoming expected on even base-spec grades and will be a requirement to get the top safety score in 2018. For now, you’ll have to step up to the VTi-S grade for AEB.
