South Korean crossovers belong to the class of the most sought-after cars in Russia (and indeed throughout the world). Most likely, the situation will not change in the coming years: Kia and Hyundai products will be sold out, the number of cars produced per year will grow, and Asian designers and engineers will delight motorists with new masterpieces. This statement fully applies to the 2017–2018 Hyundai Kona (photo below) - a mid-sized crossover, which, according to official information, will soon appear on the domestic market.

There are several reasons for the popularity of cars from South Korea. Firstly, this is a unique price-quality ratio that distinguishes light vehicles, SUVs and crossovers, including the Hyundai Kona (photo below), from the Japanese and Chinese counterparts. At the same time, Korean cars are confident “middling”.
There is, however, the point at which the "Koreans" lose to both extremes: the question of bundling. Of all world manufacturers, only representatives of South Korea and Russia are trying to cut down the basic equipment as much as possible, transferring most of the default items to the list of accessories purchased for an additional amount. This is especially sad when it comes to the vital "ingredients" of a car, such as fog lights or airbags: there are cases when the same Kia or Hyundai equipped the cheapest modifications of cars produced with only two front airbags, giving the driver a choice whether to spend extra money continue to risk the health and lives of passengers.
The second reason for the popularity of South Korean cars - the appearance. Of course, he cannot be called magnificent, attracting attention, or at least extravagant; he's just not bad The driver, who decided to buy a new 2017-2018 Hyundai Kona (photo below), can be sure that his car will look good in the general stream, not too standing out, but not differing grotesque outlines, like some models from Chinese manufacturers. Hyundai Kona - a car that is ideally suited for everyday use, discreet, solid and neat.
