    Thinking of buying the 2021 Hyundai Kona Essential?

    CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Hyundai Kona Essential for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. The 2021 Hyundai Kona Essential for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

    What to check on the Kona

    Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 147 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, unknown or other and electrical system. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

    The numbers in plain words

    Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    The EPA rates it at 7.9 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. In money, 1,000 km costs about $122.50 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.

    When the Kona makes sense

    It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

    Space and size

    Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.

    Try before you buy

    Rent the Kona first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

    Narrowing it down

    Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the Essential with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

    What it costs to run

    Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
