Hyundai Kona: More space on more surface
Hyundai Motor has disclosed further details about the new generation of the compact SUV Kona for the South Korean market. The new model is available in several powertrain variants, including a purely battery-electric version (EV), a full hybrid (HEV) with a 1.6 GDI engine in combination with an electric motor (data for Korea, 141 HP), and a combustion engine variant (ICE) with 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter gasoline engines. In the new generation of the Kona, all powertrain variants will now also be available as sporty N Line versions. The development of the new SUV began with the EV model, and technical details about this model will be announced later in the year.
The SUV has grown further, measuring 4.35 meters in length, 1.83 meters in width, and 1.58 meters in height, similar to its Kia sibling model, the Niro. This moves it out of the actual compact class. As a result, there will be a more spacious, versatile interior with a 60 mm longer wheelbase, resulting in 77 mm more legroom and 11 mm more headroom in the rear. The shoulder room in the second row, at 1,402 mm, is also said to be the most generous in its class. The slim yet rigid front seats will also contribute to the rear space. Additionally, the electric gear selector behind the steering wheel allows for more flexible design of the center console, which can be used as a cup holder or storage for large bags. The trunk offers up to 723 liters (SAE standard) of cargo space with the rear seats fully folded down.
The two integrated displays, each with a 12.3-inch diagonal, provide better instrument overview and more ergonomic operation of the infotainment system. Hyundai has optimized the pressure distribution of the Relax seats in the first row to reduce fatigue on long journeys. The integrated memory system remembers the preferred seating positions.
Technologies for More Comfort
Maintenance and updates are carried out via over-the-air updates, without any workshop visits. Additional comfort is provided by the individual adjustment of the electric tailgate, which can vary in opening height and speed. For charging smartphones and other electronic devices, multiple USB ports and a wireless charging system according to the Qi standard are available. The vehicle can be locked and unlocked, as well as started, using the digital vehicle key via NFC technology on smartphones or smartwatches.
More Safety While Driving
The driving assistants include the autonomous emergency braking assistant, the active lane-keeping and blind-spot assistants, the exit warning, intelligent traffic sign recognition, a driver attention warning, and a high beam assistant. Additionally, the SUV features various driving comfort functions such as an adaptive and navigation-based cruise control system, a lane-following and highway assistant, or a blind-spot assistant with monitor display. For safe parking, various advanced technologies are available, such as the surround view monitor, rear cross-traffic alert with emergency braking function, parking assist, also with emergency braking function, and a remote-controlled parking assistant.
