We compare the new Hyundai Kona and older i30 to find out if you really need an SUV or whether a hatchback will do Full Review: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/hyundai-i30-v-hyundai-kona-2024-comparison-144559/ When people are out car shopping, they don’t just compare vehicles across different brands in their price range – they also consider models within the same brand’s line-up.

So is it just fashion driving the rise of the SUV, or does the more expensive Kona present advantages the i30 just cannot match? We’ve stripped this comparo back to the bare basics by testing the cheapest variants in both line-ups. Let battle commence!
