2020 Hyundai Kona SEL Plus 4WD

Vehicle Highlights

The 2020 Hyundai Kona SEL Plus sits in the middle of the Kona lineup. It has more safety and convenience equipment than a base model, without the price of the top trims. Under the hood is the proven 2.0L 4-cylinder making 147 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed automatic. Drive Mode Select with Eco and Sport settings lets you adjust the Kona to how you're driving.

The standout is the safety package. This SEL Plus is equipped with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning and a rearview camera. Add the driver knee airbag, side and curtain airbags and Hill-Start Assist, and you get a lot of protection for a vehicle at this price. Inside you'll find a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, SiriusXM-capable audio and heated front seats.

This Kona suits commuters, students, first-time buyers and anyone downsizing who wants a small SUV that's easy to park and cheap to run. The compact footprint works for city driving, and the 60/40 split-folding rear seat and roof rails add practicality for weekend gear. Heated seats, heated mirrors and the all-wheel-drive setup listed for this unit are useful through a London winter.

At $9,995, this white Kona SEL Plus is one of the more affordable ways to get modern driver-assist tech in Ontario. It has 189,877 km, so we encourage a test drive and a review of the service history before you buy. For a daily driver that's easy on the budget, it makes a lot of sense.
