The all-new Hyundai Kona gets a more dynamic and bolder EV-led design
20 December 2022, 02:45:14

The all-new KONA has evolved into a larger yet still urban-centric SUV with bolder styling that conveys a more dynamic road presence and driver-centric interior. To provide maximized 'living space' for customers, the all-new model grew to 4,355 mm in length, which is 150 mm longer than the previous generation, based on the EV variant. It also gained 25 mm in width and 60 mm in wheelbase length compared to the outgoing model without losing any of its iconic design identity.
The all-new KONA's clean, distinctive nose characterizes the front section's pure volume, contributing to the model's smooth aerodynamic performance. The pure volume is highlighted by the stretched Seamless Horizon Lamp, pixelated on the EV variant, marking the first Hyundai model with a Pixelated Seamless Horizon Lamp that adds to the EV's distinctive character. KONA's use of Parametric Pixels also propagates a distinctive design element from Hyundai's popular EV lineup. The EV also gets pixel graphic details on the intake grille and rear bumper, a pixel-inspired 19-inch alloy wheel design, a black embracing line, and optional black side mirrors and roof.
The all-new KONA's larger interior 'living space' provides practical features and an evolved in-car experience to accommodate diverse lifestyles. The EV-derived universal architecture accommodates a sporty layout with floating horizontal C-Pad to emphasize KONA's slim and wide interior, providing a versatile space for driver and passengers.
The 12.3-inch dual wide displays and floating module impart a high-tech impression. Ambient lighting enhances the user experience and convenience. With the column type shift-by-wire relocated from the center console to behind the steering wheel, it provides an uncluttered layout and additional space for belongings in the central tunnel. The second-row Curve-less Bench Seat reinforces KONA’s 21st century urban design aesthetic. This living space offers a unique experience with maximum usability, comfort and convenience. Behind the second row is a maximized cargo space.
