Assessment Summary
The Kona Hybrid Premium N Line in Australia shows generally solid reliability with strong city-drivability thanks to its hybrid setup. Engine durability appears favorable in public ownership data, while the transmission has a good but slightly more uncertain track record due to fewer long-term data points. Infotainment and multimedia systems present the most frequent and documented public reliability challenges, mostly in the form of connectivity, firmware, and display quirks rather than catastrophic failures. Recall activity in recent years confirms that Hyundai has taken action on Kona family issues, which is important for durability and resale confidence.
