Verdict
SUV urbain au coffre de 466 litres, en hybride 1.6 ou électrique. Euro NCAP ne lui a donné que 4 étoiles en 2023, pénalisé par ses aides à la sécurité. Fiches-auto relève des défauts d'électronique (écrans, aides à la conduite) et de boîte DCT sur l'hybride, et deux rappels de sécurité existent : faites-les vérifier.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- Emissions of the versions in this guide: 103 g CO₂/km (check the value on the car's registration certificate).
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Battery warranty : Battery warranty not collected yet for this model: ask the seller or the manufacturer.
A 2023 Hyundai Kona (3 years old) keeps about 93% of its original capacity on average: an average loss of 2.3% a year measured on more than 22,700 EVs, higher with a lot of rapid charging. Only a battery test gives a car's real figure. Geotab (new tab)
Inspection checklist
Hyundai Kona II — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série les rappels de la transmission et des ceintures arrière chez un concessionnaire Hyundai.
- Hybride : essayer la boîte DCT6 en ville et à 110 km/h (à-coups, hésitations, refus d'enclencher une marche).
- Électrique : mesurer la tension de la batterie 12 V à froid et vérifier le verrouillage et le démarrage.
- Tester tous les écrans, les aides à la conduite et le freinage d'urgence pour repérer les alertes intempestives.
- Électrique : essayer la recharge AC et rapide et contrôler le confort thermique (pompe à chaleur).
Questions to ask the seller
- Les rappels (transmission, ceintures arrière) ont-ils été effectués ?
- Y a-t-il eu des interventions sur la boîte, les écrans ou la batterie 12 V ?
- Quelle est la garantie constructeur restante ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
