Carivo independent review & score
The 2022 Hyundai Kona S. Carivo rates it 7.6/10 — middle of the pack. It does enough right to be a reasonable choice, but the scores don’t make a compelling case for picking it over class leaders.
Safety leads at 8.4/10. Crash-test results and standard driver-assistance coverage push it ahead of most suv rivals on occupant protection — a real differentiator for families. Performance is a serious liability at 6.3/10 — well below class rivals and a score that should factor heavily into any buying decision. Don’t overlook it.
In the mid-range suv market ($27,403–$35,559, 28 MPG, 5 passengers), it gives buyers what they need without forcing trade-offs. At 4 years old, this model predates meaningful updates to the Hyundai Kona S lineup. Check how the current generation scores differently before committing to the older version.
