Performance

The Hyundai Kona will have several trims, and so you can expect options in terms of powertrains. The Kona will primarily be available with two powertrain options. However, there is also an all-electric Kona dubbed the Kona EV. The standard powertrain available in this crossover is the 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. The power is adequate for this class, and it will be shifted to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic gearbox.

AWD is available as optional for this engine, but it is very efficient, managing a rating of 27/33 mpg. However, for those seeking thrills and a few spills, the more energetic 1.6-liter turbo-four making 175 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque is available. It will power the top models, including the new Night Edition, and will be offered with the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The engine is not only powerful but also efficient and is rated at 28/32 mpg. And for the carbon-neutral drivers, the Kona EV is available. It makes 201 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque, with a range of up to 258 miles.

Interior

The new Hyundai Kona has one of the best interiors you'll find anywhere. It features a mix of premium materials and plastics, with an elegant modern design. It offers two rows and a maximum occupancy of five. Both rows offer ample headroom and legroom, and the seats are built to provide maximum comfort. Three adults will enjoy sitting comfortably in the back seat without complaint.

The best aspect of the Hyundai Kona's cabin is the practicality. Despite fitting five adults, the Kona still has 19.2 cubic feet of storage space behind the second row. And with the second row collapsed, you can have 45.8 cubic feet, which is impressive for a crossover.

Technology

The screen sits high on the center console, and the bright colors and large icons make it easy to use from the driving position.
