Cargo Space & Interior Review: Is the 2025 Kona Family-Friendly?
Practical, Spacious, and Built for Modern Families
When you're looking for a vehicle that fits your family’s lifestyle, it’s not just about performance or looks, it’s about how well the interior works for everyday life. The 2025 Hyundai Kona, available now at Steele Hyundai in Halifax, NS, brings exactly that. Hyundai’s popular subcompact SUV has been fully reimagined for 2025 with a roomier cabin, clever layout, and flexible cargo options that make it surprisingly family-friendly.
Whether you’re juggling grocery runs, hockey gear, or luggage for a weekend getaway, the Kona’s interior is designed to handle it all, without making your daily drive feel cramped or chaotic.
How Much Cargo Space Does the 2025 Kona Offer?
The real question many families ask is: “How much can we fit in the back?” The 2025 Kona doesn’t disappoint. With the rear seats up, you get 723 litres of cargo capacity, plenty of room for backpacks, strollers, groceries, or a big Costco haul. But if you need to maximize the space, fold the back seats down and the Kona opens up to a generous 1,803 litres of cargo volume. That’s perfect for bulkier items like sports equipment, furniture boxes, or even a dog crate for your four-legged family member.
What makes this space even more useful is the smart shape of the cargo area. It’s wide and easy to access, making loading and unloading a breeze—even in tighter parking spots. And because the Kona rides at a practical height, you don’t have to lift things too high or crouch too low.
A Cabin That Feels Like Home
Step inside the 2025 Kona, and the interior surprises with its clean, open layout and quality materials. There’s more rear-seat legroom than before, which means growing kids or adult passengers won’t feel squeezed in the back. Hyundai also offers thoughtful storage throughout the cabin, think centre console compartments, cupholders, and deep door pockets that help keep clutter to a minimum.
The digital dashboard layout gives the interior a modern edge, with a wide screen that blends the instrument cluster and infotainment in one sleek 12.3-inch panel. Whether you’re navigating to soccer practice or queueing up a podcast, it’s all within reach.
Comfort Meets Everyday Convenience
Families will appreciate the Kona’s well-balanced mix of comfort and usability. The seats are supportive, and the layout is designed with driver and passenger comfort in mind. Even on longer road trips, the Kona keeps everyone comfortable with available features like dual-zone climate control and heated front seats.
