2. The interior design
A big sacrifice many small sub-compacts require of their owners is in the area of interior space, for occupants as for cargo. The Kona does not make you feel like it’s doing this. For starters the front-row space is quite ample and comfortable, while cargo space in the back is 544 litres, really quite exceptional for the segment. Fold down the rear seats and you free up 1,296 litres of total cargo volume. Again, more than serviceable. As a bonus you get a storage space under the floor for those objects you want to keep away from prying eyes.
You’ll notice we skipped over the second row of seats, and well, that’s because the price for that roomy front row and generous cargo space is paid here. It can get a little tight for larger passengers consigned here, especially for their legs.
