Hyundai reveals prices and specs for new Kona
Hyundai has announced details for the petrol and hybrid versions of its new Kona crossover, which will be priced from £25,725 and £30,025 respectively.
On sale later this year, the new model will be offered with a range of fully electric, full hybrid and petrol powertrains, as with its predecessor, while delivering enhanced styling, space and technology.
The line-up will include two petrol engines and one hybrid, available with four trim levels. A fully electric version will also be available, with up to 305 miles of range.
Prices for fully electric vehicles are yet to be announced but the ICE line-up will start with a 120hp 1.0-litre turbo petrol with a six-speed manual transmission or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and CO2 emissions of 131-150g/km.
It will be available in the Advance trim level, which includes 17-inch alloy wheels (18-inch on hybrid models), dual zone climate control, automatic headlights and windscreen wipers, cruise control (smart cruise control with stop and go function on hybrid and DCT models), electric parking brake, front and rear parking sensors with rear camera and guidance system and keyless entry with start/stop button.
Onboard technology includes dual curved 12.3-inch screens, Bluetooth, DAB radio, LIVE services, MapCare, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, steering wheel controls and front and rear USB C charging points.
The same powertrain can also be had in N Line guise (£27,525 for the manual or £29,325 for the DCT) or the sportier N Line S (£29,925/£31,725).
The N Line adds in bespoke styling features plus extra equipment such as powered tailgate, heated steering wheel and wireless charging pad for compatible devices.
The N Line S builds on this with extra features such as Alcantara and leather trimmed seats that are heated, ventilated and get electrical adjustability, three-zone air con and Bose sound system with 7 speakers and subwoofer. The top-rung N Line S also gain additional driver assistance features.
