GENERATION BY GENERATION
Sell My Hyundai Kona: We Look Beyond the Fault
Hyundai Kona generations differ more than many quotes reflect: a OS is not a SX2. Our Kemps Creek workshop repairs these cars generation by generation, so we price yours on what it's actually worth, not what a script says. As a guide, most Hyundai Kona vehicles we buy land between $1,500–$7,000.
Free quote. No obligation. The agreed offer stands at pickup*
*If the vehicle matches the information provided, the agreed offer is intended to remain unchanged at pickup.
EVERY GENERATION
We know every Hyundai Kona generation
This is why our quotes beat the guessing brigade: we can tell your Hyundai Kona's generation at a glance, and we know what each one is worth repaired, resold or parted out. Every Australian-delivered generation qualifies:
- OS2017–2023
2.0L MPI, 1.6T AWD with 7DCT, Kona Electric
- SX22023–present
2.0L MPI, 1.6 hybrid, Electric; larger body
FAULTS PRICED IN
Known Hyundai Kona problems we buy anyway
2.0 Nu engine piston-ring defect on your OS Hyundai Kona? We still pay. These are the faults we see most on this model, documented by Australian motoring outlets, and none of them stop us buying. Tell us which one you've got and we'll price the repair into the quote instead of springing it on you at pickup.
2.0 Nu engine piston-ring defect
A batch of Konas was recalled in Australia over defective piston rings in the 2.0 Nu engine that can cause early engine wear, failure and even fire.
Documented by carsguide.com.au
Kona Electric battery fire recalls
2018-2023 Kona Electrics have faced urgent Australian recalls for battery-management faults and LG cell defects that can short and catch fire while parked or charging.
Documented by thedriven.io
8DCT transmission recall
Kona N models were included in Hyundai's 8,466-vehicle Australian recall over eight-speed dual-clutch programming that could force limp-home mode.

EGR sensor recall (SX2)
946 examples of the 2024 SX2 Kona and i30 Sedan 2.0 were recalled for EGR valve sensors contaminated by soldering flux, causing loss of power while driving.

REPAIRED, NOT SCRAPPED
How we assess a Hyundai Kona
It comes down to this: Small SUVs are the fastest-turning salvage class in AU; recall-affected 2.0 petrol Konas have known engine fixes available, and Kona Electric battery/driveline components and late-model panels are in strong demand. A scale prices your car by the kilo. We repair with our own hands and our own hoists, so value a scale can't see is value we assess into the offer. No gimmicks, just better maths.
Demand for this exact model is strong. We know what these cars are worth repaired because we do the repairs in-house, and your quote reflects that knowledge.
HONEST PRICE GUIDE
What we pay for a Hyundai Kona
$1,500–$7,000
Typical range for most Hyundai Kona vehicles we buy. A guide, not a ceiling.
As an honest guide, Hyundai Kona offers usually run $1,500–$7,000. That's a real range from real cars, not a ceiling and not a gimmick. Repairable late models climb past it; cars at the true end of their life fall under it.
If the vehicle matches the information provided, the agreed offer is intended to remain unchanged at pickup. Free pickup anywhere in Sydney, bank transfer on the spot with a receipt, and we handle the paperwork including the notice of disposal.
What Hyundai Kona owners ask us
Yes. Long-parked Hyundai Kona vehicles are routine collections: seized brakes, flat tyres, stale fuel and all. Age and sitting don't erase parts and repair value on this model, and the tow is free wherever it's parked.

Get a quote →Both, every week. An unregistered Hyundai Kona doesn't need a pink slip to be sold to us, and a written-off one goes to our workshop or parts stream rather than the crusher. Free pickup applies either way.
