Hyundai has unveiled an EV-derived, futuristic design for the new Hyundai Kona subcompact SUV. The model will be available in four powertrain variants, including all-electric (EV), hybrid electric (HEV), internal combustion engine (ICE), and a sporty N Line model, with each sporting unique styling.
To provide maximised 'living space' for customers, the new model has grown in length by 150mm, to a total of 4,355mm (for the EV model). It has also gained 25mm in width and 60mm in wheelbase length compared to the outgoing model.
The new Kona's front is highlighted by a stretched Seamless Horizon Lamp Unlike most vehicles that are made available with a variety of powertrains, the Kona started with the EV variant design, which was then adapted to the designs for the ICE, HEV and N Line models.
The all new Kona's nose characterises the front section's volume, which contributes to the model's smooth aerodynamic performance. This volume is highlighted by the stretched Seamless Horizon Lamp, which is pixelated on the EV variant, marking it the first Hyundai model with a Pixelated Seamless Horizon Lamp.
There are several styling variations between the powertrain variants. The EV gets pixel graphic details on the intake grille and rear bumper, a pixel-inspired 19-inch alloy wheel design, black embracing line and optional black side mirrors and roof.
The interior of the Hyundai Kona will feature dual 12.3-inch displays and a floating module The ICE and HEV variants, meanwhile, share a rugged bumper and skid plate design, and black wheel arch cladding. The N Line Kona boasts optional black side mirrors and roof, wing-type spoiler, more aggressive front and rear designs with wing-shaped bumper to emphasise a lower stance, distinctive 19-inch alloy wheels, a twin muffler and silver side skirts.
The interior will feature dual 12.3-inch displays and a floating module, along with ambient lighting. Additional space will be available for personal belongings in the central tunnel in this new Hyundai Kona, as the the shift-by-wire gear selector has been relocated from the centre console to a column type selector located behind the steering wheel.
