All-new Hyundai Kona

Development of Hyundai Motor’s upscaled and futuristic Kona started with the EV model – an unconventional approach for car design that reflects the company’s accelerated electrification strategy. The Kona is brimming with the latest technologies, comfort and convenience features.

The second-generation Kona offers one of the most comprehensive product packages in the B-SUV segment, including the widest range of powertrains. Customers can choose from EV (standard or long range), hybrid electric (HEV) and internal combustion engine (ICE) variants as well as dynamic N Line versions.

With its rugged, dynamic design and upscaled dimensions, the Kona retains its iconic character, supporting active lifestyles for customers of all ages and generations, while offering new technologies and convenience features that provide a safe, connected and comfortable experience. Among the upgrades are a dual 12.3-inch screen panoramic display, a Digital Key 2 Touch, full Over-the-Air (OTA) updates and Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC).

Kona Electric delivers class-leading all-electric range (AER) in the B-SUV segment (WLTP 514 km). It also comes with EV-specific design elements, including frunk storage, active air flaps, interior and exterior Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) outlets, Head-up Display (HUD), i-PEDAL driving mode, Smart Regenerative System, electronic-Active Sound Design (e-ASD) and an Eco Package consisting of the use of sustainable materials in the interior.

Compared to the previous generation Kona, the new model has unique proportions with increased dimensions. Based on the EV variant, its length is now 4,355 mm, 175 mm longer than the first generation Kona Electric, with a wheelbase of 2,660 mm, which is 60 mm longer. Its width is 1,825 mm, which is 25 mm wider, and the height is 20 mm taller at 1,575 mm.

Exterior design

For the Kona, Hyundai broke away from the conventional ICE-to-EV design process and instead developed EV-to-ICE design. This resulted in a futuristic EV-focused exterior design, in which dynamic purity meets boldly sculpted ruggedness.

On the EV variant, a Pixelated Seamless Horizon Lamp and Pixel graphics add a unique flourish. Vivid exterior colours further emphasize Kona’s iconic design, taking inspiration from the diverse lifestyles of the model’s broad spectrum of customers.

The ICE and HEV variants carry over many of the EV’s design characteristics with a distinctive twist. The front bumper is distinguished by a three-dimensional garnish and skid plate instead of a radiator grill. The ICE and HEV variants also add contrasting black wheel arch cladding for emphasis.

The HEV variant uses upper and lower active air flaps (AAF), and the ICE variant has an upper active air flap for a drag coefficient improvement. The exterior active air flap conveys an EV-like appearance to the ICE and HEV, while improving aerodynamic performance of both variants.

Interior space

Based on the model’s upscaled dimensions and EV-derived universal architecture, Hyundai Motor was able to design a flexible and modular interior ‘living space’ to embrace a wider range of lifestyles. The Kona provides a wide and open layout for increased passenger comfort and easy cargo storage.

The layout also emphasises Kona’s larger, wider interior, providing a versatile and comfortable space for driver and passengers.

The Kona also provides the best-in-class interior space with 60 mm longer wheelbase length, 77 mm longer leg room and 11 mm higher headroom in the second-row seats, compared to the previous generation. The second-row shoulder room is 1,402 mm, also the largest in its class, providing the best habitability in ‘living space’ for passengers. Kona’s slim first-row relaxation seats, which are only 85 mm thick, also add more living space for the second-row passengers.

An assortment of EV-specific features for the charged-up driving experience

In addition to the pixelated seamless horizon lamp and pixel graphics, Kona Electric offers even more features for an improved customer experience. Battery conditioning ensures secure charging and range performance in winter and a frozen charge door prevention system enables the user to open the charge door in a minus 30-degree environment. A new charging port door lamp ensures visibility at night.

The HUD displays the most relevant information for drivers as a 12-inch projection on the windshield. This allows drivers to process information quickly while keeping their attention on the road ahead. And the e-ASD creates a virtual sound that makes EVs more engaging for the driver. An optimum sound is added to the cabin, considering variables, such as driving speed, torque, state of the motor and acceleration. Drivers can control the volume and customize the sound inside the cabin.

With a bi-directional onboard charger, the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function can power any device or charge electrical equipment with 3.6kW, with both interior and exterior outlets for convenience. Inside, devices can be plugged into a standard outlet on the rear centre console (230V) when the EV is powered on. Outside, devices and home appliances can be plugged in using a V2L adapter to use battery power when the car is parked.

The new i-PEDAL enables a driving mode that allows drivers to accelerate, decelerate and stop using only the accelerator pedal.

Kona Electric also comes with a Smart Regenerative System that automatically adjusts the amount of regenerative braking based on information from forward traffic flow.

Best-in-class electronic control technology and connectivity

The Kona takes connectivity to the next level with continuous Over-the-Air (OTA) software updates, allowing car owners to save on cost and have their cars maintained with the latest software, providing an upgradable experience.

For more convenience, Kona can be locked, unlocked and started using the Digital Key 2 Touch, using near-field communication (NFC) on Apple, Samsung and Google Pixel smart phones or smart watches, which assures a high level of security. Inside, the dual 12.3-inch screen panoramic display is integrated into the audio-video navigation (AVN) system to give drivers a fully digital experience of cluster and infotainment.

The new Kona will be the first Hyundai model to apply the new Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC), which provides advanced graphics and perfect unity among the vehicle displays. When parking, Surround View Monitor (SVM) displays the vehicle from various viewpoints in HD for safe and easy parking while efficient, wide projection LED headlamps light the way.

The seven-speaker Bose Premium Sound System plus subwoofer has been tuned by Bose engineers to deliver a rich and immersive listening experience. Driver and passengers alike have access to two USB-C chargers (including one with data support) and a 12V power outlet in the front as well as two USB-C chargers in the rear. Kona is also equipped with the latest version of Hyundai’s connectivity technology and Bluelink® Streaming Service for music and videos will be provided later.

Safety and convenience

The second-generation Kona is equipped with the next level of Hyundai Smart Sense ADAS features that are not available on most other B-SUVs, ensuring the highest levels of safety and convenience on the road.

The Driver Status Monitor (DSM) uses the vehicle’s internal camera to analyse the driver’s attention and, in the event of drowsiness or carelessness, alert them or intervene, if necessary. And Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) aids drivers in getting in and out of parking spaces remotely. A press of the smart key button moves the vehicle forwards or backwards.

Blind-spot View Monitor (BVM) helps the driver by showing the blind-spot view on the cluster display when changing lane. It works in tandem with Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA) including Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) to make a lane change by issuing an alert warning of the risk of collision with vehicles in the blind spot. If necessary, braking is automatically applied to prevent a collision.

Design elements that add sporty style and enhance performance

For the Kona, Hyundai broke away from the conventional ICE-to-EV design process and instead developed EV-to-ICE design. This resulted in a futuristic EV-focused exterior design, in which purity and ruggedness coexist.

Kona creates a bold and dynamic impression, inspired by a rugged, tech-centric design

The model’s aerodynamic profile – with a drag coefficient of 0.27 – was designed to emphasise its pure volume and aerodynamic performance. To create a contrast with the front section’s purity in shape and volume, Kona features a sharp connected parametric surface design and meticulous details.

To further underline this bold design language, Hyundai introduces a new EV-exclusive design option for the GLS trim with 17-inch alloy wheels. Designed to add a more expressive and refined character, the package includes a black pixelated front grille without chrome inserts, which visually simplifies the front view and strengthens the EV's futuristic identity. A black beltline visually lowers the car’s stance and connects the side profile with sleek precision. The rear features a body-coloured spoiler inspired by the dynamic N Line version, adding a sporty finish without compromising the clean EV aesthetics. The black 17-inch alloy wheels provide a striking contrast and bring cohesion to the overall dark-themed appearance. The design option is available across all exterior colours and is offered as a bundled design option.

• Pixelated Seamless Horizon Light signature Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)
• Futuristic and simple lower bumper design and Pixel graphics on the intake grille
• Flush Pixel details on the rear bumper
• Black Embracing Line
• Aerodynamic Side Sill
• Rugged, yet simple & clean body-coloured wheel arch design
• 19” alloy wheel design that resemble Pixels

ICE / HEV-specific design elements

The ICE and HEV variants of the Kona improve aerodynamics and drag coefficients with upper (ICE/HEV) and lower (HEV) active air flaps (AAF). A bold and rugged skid plate design complements the contrasting black wheel arches. Optional black paint for the cladding, side bolding, and bumper contrasts the body-coloured side mirror and roof. Futuristic elements like the Seamless Horizon Lamp DRLs and a three-dimensional garnishes on the front of the vehicle complete the design.

• Seamless Horizon Light signature DRLs
• Low radiator grille with active air flaps
• Bold and rugged skid plate design
• Body-coloured roof and side mirrors with select body colour options

• Contrasting bold sculpted wheel arch design (black)
• Upper (ICE + HEV) and lower (HEV) active air flaps (AAF) for an aerodynamic/drag coefficient improvement

N Line-specific design elements

For the sporty yet sophisticated N Line variant of the Kona, the design features more a dedicated aggressive front and rear design. A distinct sporty grille and air intakes, wing-shaped bumper and dual exhaust pipes lend the vehicle a sporty feeling, while glossy black side mirrors and an optional two-tone black roof paired with silver side skirt surrounding the body creates a lower stance and emphasises a high-performance image. Exclusive optional dedicated 18-inch alloy wheels, N Line exclusive metal pedals, and an N Brand gear shift (TGS) lever set the N Line Kona apart from other variants.

Bigger and smarter interior space

Hyundai further developed the experience elements in the Kona to embrace a wider range of lifestyles in a flexible and modular living space. The upscaled multiplayer provides a wide and open layout for increased passenger comfort and easy cargo storage.

The addition of mélange fabric softens the high-tech interior and completes the functional yet cosy atmosphere. Furthering the indoor experience, the extended sunroof can be opened to give the interior an even more open feel.

For selected trim levels with leather interiors, Hyundai has replaced the previous leather door trim inserts with finely woven cloth materials. This change improves visual contrast and contributes to a more refined and premium interior aesthetic. The cloth insert is already part of colour-themed interior packages and is now applied more broadly across variants as a standard design enhancement.

The Kona also provides the best-in-class space with 60 mm longer wheelbase length, 77 mm longer leg room and 11 mm higher headroom in the second-row seats, compared to the previous generation. The second-row shoulder room is 1,402 mm, also the largest in its class, providing the best habitability in ‘living space’ for passengers. Kona’s slim first-row relaxation seats, which are only 85 mm thick, also add more living space for second-row passengers.

In addition, the column-mounted shift-by-wire gear selector set behind the steering wheel allows more space for an open, clean console structure that can be used for cup holders or storage for big bags.

The dual 12.3-inch screen panoramic display  features smart design for maximum access, usability and control, while the first-row relaxation seats option is optimised for ‘weightless’ body pressure distribution to help alleviate fatigue after long-haul driving.
