Distinctive & Aerodynamic Design

All Hyundai KONA models feature a distinctive yet aerodynamic front end, designed to help the vehicle stand out from the crowd while maximising efficiency. The sleek front design not only enhances the car’s visual appeal but also contributes to its overall aerodynamic performance. When viewed from the side, you’ll notice the ‘parametric’ surfaces, characterised by a diagonal crease that runs up the side of the car. This unique design element adds a dynamic and modern touch to the KONA’s profile.

The boldly sculpted wheel arches and alloy wheels, available in sizes up to 19 inches, give the All-New KONA a robust SUV flavour. These features, combined with the front and rear Seamless Horizon Lamps—light bars that run the entire width of the car—create a truly standout appearance. These light bars not only enhance visibility but also add a futuristic and cohesive look to the vehicle.

There are subtle design differences between the petrol/hybrid, N-Line, and electric versions of the All-New KONA. The electric versions are equipped with pixelated LED lamps and pixel details in the front and rear bumper, creating a visual link to Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 models. This design choice emphasises the KONA’s connection to Hyundai’s electric vehicle lineup.

The petrol and hybrid models feature a bold front bumper design with integrated skid plates and black wheel arch cladding, giving them a rugged and adventurous appearance. These elements highlight the KONA’s versatility and readiness for various driving conditions.

The N-Line models, on the other hand, boast sporty details such as a wing-type spoiler, an optional black roof, and twin exhaust pipes. These features enhance the KONA’s athletic look and appeal to drivers seeking a more dynamic and performance-oriented vehicle.

An Interior 'Living' Space

The interior of the All-New KONA is a testament to high-quality materials and a clean, modern, and stylish design, making it a very pleasant place to spend time. This feeling is further enhanced by the comfortable seating in both the front and rear, along with cool features like ambient lighting. The dual 12.3-inch displays dominate the dashboard, offering high-resolution screens that are stunning to look at and provide all the information you need at a glance.

One of the standout features is the Full Over-the-Air (OTA) updates, which mean you won’t need to bring the car to a dealership to get the latest software version. The combination of DAB radio, LIVE services, MapCare, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and USB C charging points ensures you have all you need to stay connected while on the road.

The interior is also notably spacious, thanks to the All-New KONA’s increased dimensions compared to the previous model. It is 150mm longer, 25mm wider, and has a 60mm increase in wheelbase, creating more room for both passengers and cargo. This added space enhances comfort and practicality, making the All-New KONA an excellent choice for those seeking a versatile and stylish vehicle.

ICE, Hybrid & Fully-Electric - KONA Has It All

Hyundai KONA Electric Charging

The All-New KONA is offered with a wide range of powertrains, ensuring there is a version suited to every driver’s needs. Whether you prefer petrol, hybrid, or electric, the All-New KONA has you covered.

Starting with the petrol options, a 1.0-litre petrol engine with a power output of 120PS is available as standard across all trim levels. For those seeking more power, the N Line S and Ultimate trims can be equipped with a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine delivering an impressive 198PS. Both of these engines offer flexibility with the choice of either a 6-speed manual transmission or an automatic 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

For eco-conscious drivers, the hybrid powertrain is available on all models. This system combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to achieve a power output of 141PS, providing a balance of performance and efficiency.

The electric version of the All-New KONA stands out with its design-first approach, which was later adapted for the internal combustion engine (ICE) versions to maximize efficiency. This electric model is powered by a long-range 65.4kWh battery, capable of achieving a WLTP distance of up to 304 miles on a single charge. This makes it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on range.

With such a diverse range of powertrains, the All-New KONA ensures that there is a perfect match for every driver, whether you prioritize power, efficiency, or sustainability.

Safe and Sound

Hyundai KONA Safety

The All-New KONA hits the ground running with its comprehensive array of safety features, including Hyundai’s SmartSense Advanced Driver Assistance System. This system ensures that the KONA is equipped with the latest in safety technology, providing peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.

As standard, the KONA includes a variety of advanced safety technologies such as Downhill Brake Control, which helps maintain a steady speed on steep descents, and Driver Attention Warning, which alerts the driver if signs of drowsiness or inattentiveness are detected. The eCall system automatically contacts emergency services in the event of a serious accident.

The Forward Collision Avoidance Assist system is particularly noteworthy, offering protection against collisions with cars, pedestrians, cyclists, and even during junction turns. Hill-start Assist Control prevents the vehicle from rolling back on inclines, while Intelligent Speed Limit Assist helps drivers stay within legal speed limits. Lane Keep Assist and Lane Follow Assist work together to keep the vehicle centered in its lane, and Leading Vehicle Departure Alert notifies the driver when the vehicle ahead starts moving.

For those seeking additional safety features, the All-New KONA offers optional systems such as Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, which monitors blind spots and can intervene to prevent collisions. Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist helps when reversing out of parking spaces by detecting approaching traffic. Parking Distance Warning with a side function and Parking Collision Avoidance Assist with a reverse function make parking easier and safer. Safe Exit Warning alerts passengers of approaching vehicles when exiting the car, and the Surround View Monitor provides a 360-degree view around the vehicle for enhanced situational awareness.
