5 Things to Know About the New 2022 Hyundai Kona
1. Redesigned Appearance
The design team at Hyundai went all in with this year’s Kona, giving the vehicle a bolder face and a longer profile than previous models to create a presence that is impossible to ignore. Take that style to the next level when you drive the Kona N Line. This special edition of the already impressive Kona takes the eye-catching appearance even further with race-inspired highlights that will leave an impression of speed and sporty performance.
2. Tech and Comfort Inside
Clean and minimalist style and a power moonroof make the interior of the Kona look as good as the soft-touch seating material and ample space of the cabin feels. That inviting cabin will already be at a comfortable temperature by the time you arrive with the smart tech of the Hyundai Digital Key system. Start or stop your engine, lock and unlock your doors, and adjust climate control all from a convenient app on your smart device.
3. Capable Performance
This small SUV can handle itself as well as any of the bigger vehicles of its class, driven forward by a powerful 1.6-liter GDI 4-cylinder engine. All-wheel drive adds extra confidence on tight corners or slick roads, helping you maintain traction no matter the situation.
4. Recognized for Safety
Hyundai’s commitment to keeping drivers and their passengers safe showed when the new Kona was awarded a five-star safety rating from the NHTSA. That recognition comes from the proactive sense of safety the Hyundai SmartSense suite of features gives you. The rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist makes backing out of a parking spot safer than ever, detecting vehicles crossing your path behind you and applying emergency brakes to keep you out of harm’s way.
5. A Better Value
You won’t only be getting a top-notch SUV when you purchase the new Kona. You’ll also be getting the Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance program, which covers your vehicle for regularly scheduled maintenance for up to three years to keep your vehicle running like new for miles to come. With prices for the new Kona starting as low as $20,950, making this vehicle one of the best values on the current market.
