Trim Levels
The new Hyundai Kona is available in several trim levels:
The SE is the base model and features 16-inch alloy wheels, cloth upholstery and automatic headlights.
The SEL is the boost from the SE model and features a wireless charging pad, an 8-inch infotainment display and more.
The N Line has a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and a sportier design, including sport-tuned suspensions, dual-zone automatic climate control and a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster.
The Limited is the most luxurious model and features a power sunroof, heated seats and leather upholstery.
Performance
The new Hyundai Kona has two powerful engines, whereas the entry-level models feature a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine. This engine develops 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. However, the Kona N Line and Limited models have a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 190 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The latter uses a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission to transfer to the front wheels and promote acceleration.
Buyers looking for a Hyundai Kona with higher traction should go for the all-wheel drivetrain models. However, the new Hyundai Kona with a front-wheel drivetrain system is more fuel efficient than the all-wheel drivetrain. These features and figures demonstrate Hyundai's commitment to balancing the efficiency, responsiveness and power of the Kona's powertrains.
Exterior Design
The Hyundai Kona has an attractive, eye-catching design featuring bold curves and lines that radiate style and confidence. It has a unique grille with a black finish that stands out against the bright color paint options as the background. LED head and taillamps create a modern appeal to the new Hyundai Kona and illuminate the road at night.
The Hyundai Kona is 5.7 inches longer than its predecessor, increasing cargo and luggage space. It has a spacious, welcoming and futuristic cabin design, complemented by ambient lighting. These features create a luxurious and inviting interior. Higher trims have leather seats and a steering wheel to create a premium feel.
