Where the Hyundai Kona engine is listed
We found priced Hyundai Kona engine listings at 235 salvage yards across 29 states. California supplies the most, with 245 listings (29% of the total) from 44 yards. Location matters: yards in California ask a median $2,008, while Georgia yards ask $3,535, 76% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Hyundai Kona engine cost?
Asking prices for a used Hyundai Kona engine are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 6 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 18% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $2,606.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L (VIN B, 8th digit), lists at a $1,743 median, while 1.6L (VIN 3, 8th digit, turbo) commands $3,136, a 80% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2025 units carry the lowest median at $2,080, while 2024 tops the table at $3,000. Parts from 2022–2025 are interchangeable, so if the 2025 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Hyundai Kona sits 7% above the Hyundai Elantra ($2,483), 236% above the Honda Civic ($792), and 33% above the Toyota RAV4 ($2,000) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used engine: what to check
- Ask for a compression or leak-down test result. Reputable yards test engines before sale.
- Under 100K miles is the sweet spot for a used engine; insist on documented donor mileage.
- Confirm what's included: manifolds, sensors, and accessories vary by yard and change the real price.
- Match the engine code exactly. The same model year can ship with multiple displacements.
- Budget for new gaskets, seals, and fluids on installation; they're cheap insurance on a used engine.
