Hyundai Kona | Small SUV - Wagga Motors Hyundai

Live a more vibrant life.

The Kona refuses to be bound to a singular way of thinking. Because let’s face it, one size doesn’t always fit all, and that’s what makes the Kona so different.

Key Features.

Vibrant colours of Kona

Colour your world with an array of exciting, bold and vibrant exterior Kona colours!

Acid Yellow, Tangerine Comet, Ceramic Blue, Pulse Red or Lake Silver – which one will you choose?

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Satellite navigation.

The 8” touchscreen is integrated with satellite navigation, giving you directions on how to get to your next destination and also provides alerts about speed limits and speed/red light cameras within the area.

_{Available on the Active, Elite & Highlander variants.}

Apple CarPlay™ & Android™ Auto compatibility.

The 7-inch touchscreen in the Kona brings the crispest, clearest detail into the cabin and enables full smartphone connectivity with Apple Car Play™¹ and Android™ Auto². Standard across all variants, this means a range of your smartphone features including calls, messaging, and directions to your next destination via your Maps App can be accessed through this system.

The screen also displays the rear-view camera image for a crystal clear view when you’re reversing.

_{¹Apple CarPlay™ functionality requires software update.

Maximised cabin space.

It’s a big world, and even bigger in a Kona. The wide interior design magnifies the sense of spaciousness in every seat, the reduced A-pillar width gives a greater sense of openness, while maximum luggage space gives you the freedom to head wherever your heart takes you.

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Impressive Performance – 1.6 T-GDi and 2.0 MPi engines.

The Kona allows you to choose the petrol powered engine and drivetrain that best suits your needs.

Available in a 2.0 MPi engine with 6 speed transmission or a sporty 1.6 T-GDi engine with a 7 speed dual clutch transmission and impressive torque, where will it take you?

_{Only available on the Elite & Highlander variants.}

Suite of advanced technology: Head-Up Display (HUD).

The Kona is equipped with many technological features you will love including an exciting new feature never been seen in our SUV range. Our Head-Up Display on the dashboard projects a virtual image of important data (like your speed) right in front of your eyes, so you never have to take them off the road.

_{Available on the Highlander variant.}

Three trim options – Acid Yellow, red & black.

Kona is a celebration of individuality. That’s why you have the choice of three interior colour¹ trim options (Acid Yellow, red or black). Find one that suits your personality, and watch it come to life across air vents, seat belts and stitching on the leather appointed² seats.

_{¹Interior colour trim options vary depending on variant.
²Leather appointed may contain elements of genuine leather, polyurethane leather (leather substitute) or man-made materials, or a combination thereof. Leather seats not available on the Active variants.}

Connecting you to the outside, from within.

The Kona’s sunroof allows you to fill the cabin with air and light. Whether you want to be connected to the world around you or insulated from it, you can control the sunroof at the touch of a button.

_{Available on the Highlander variant with body coloured roof.}

Hyundai SmartSense™ safety features.

Hyundai SmartSense™¹ features 7 technologies to assist in alerting you to avoid any dangers around you whilst on the road. These include Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), High Beam Assist (HBA) and Driver Attention Warning (DAW).

_{¹Hyundai SmartSense™ is a registered trademark of Hyundai Motor Company. Safety features are not a substitute for attentive driving. Only available on the Active with safety, Elite & Highlander variants. High Beam Assist is only available on the Highlander variant.}

Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS).

Thanks to heat treatment processes, Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) is up to 10% lighter than, and twice as rigid, as conventional mild steel. Kona’s lightweight body frame features significantly high levels of AHSS, totalling an impressive 51.8%, resulting in exceptional torsional rigidity and leading levels of passive safety.

Express yourself.

The Hyundai Kona doesn’t simply allow you to express your personality. It encourages it. Designed with independence and fun in mind, this small SUV is confident, sporty and full of personality.

Exterior features.

Top

Cascading front grille with mesh pattern.

With its bold and sporty look, the Kona’s cascading, mesh patterned front grille exudes confidence and tells the world that in this compact SUV you’re ready for anything.

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Top-bottom split design front headlamps.

Kona is not afraid to be different. With an edgy split-design headlamp, the Kona stands out in any company - day or night. The top LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) help make sure you’re seen in any weather, while the bottom headlamps provide outstanding visibility at night.

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Two tone roof.

There’s no limit to individuality in the Kona. With its sleek roofline and unique two-tone roof option, you can customise your Kona with a Dark Knight or Phantom Black roof. Designed to complement this compact SUV’s vibrant exterior colour options, it’s a combination that guarantees you’ll stand out from every angle.

_{Available on the Highlander variant (without sunroof).}

Alloy wheels.

The Kona’s dynamic range of alloy wheels are designed to reinforce its sporty, commanding presence. Whether you choose the 16” or 17” styles, or the eye-catching, largest-in-class 18” black machined finished alloys, you can be sure you’re rolling in style.

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Top-bottom split design rear headlights.

The Kona sports character from every angle. So to reinforce its powerful stance, we split the rear lamps into individual top and bottom units that are as distinctive as they are effective.

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Extended fender cladding.

Assertiveness. With the Kona, design was at the core of our thinking at every step. This is reflected in the extended fender cladding, which reinforces Kona’s stylish and stable profile. Set against the vibrant exterior colours, it’s a bold and distinctive look that shows this small SUV is ready to take on the world.

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Rear spoiler.

The Kona is a standout small SUV from whichever angle you’re viewing it. Featuring a luxurious and contemporary rear spoiler, it’s impossible to ignore its impressive, confident and sporty looks.

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Silver rear skid plate.

Every element of the Hyundai Kona builds out its daring, confident profile. The rear skid plate adds depth to the outline, and demands those around you sit up and take notice.

_{Available on the Elite & Highlander variants. Highlander variant shown.}

Rear privacy glass.

Just because you see the world, doesn’t mean the world should see you. The Kona’s rear privacy glass allows passengers in the rear seats to enjoy their journey in perfect seclusion.

_{Available on the Elite & Highlander variants. Highlander variant shown.}

Front fog lights

You can’t control the weather. So to help make sure you’re seen in any conditions, the Hyundai Kona features advanced front and rear fog lights that cut through the gloom.

_{Available on the Elite & Highlander variants. Highlander variant shown.}

LED rear combination lights

Large, wraparound rear combination lamps are sculpted and use an LED array for maximum brightness, enhancing safety.

_{Available on Highlander variant.}

Step inside.

They say it’s what’s on the inside that counts. And for a compact SUV, the Hyundai Kona’s interior counts for a lot – especially when it comes to space.

With black, Acid Yellow and red interior trim colour options (available on the Elite and Highlander variants) you can style to suit, you’re able to create a Kona interior that’s not only practical, but is a joy to be in.

No need to worry about turning on your wipers during wet weather conditions as the Kona’s rain sensing wipers will turn on automatically when it detects rain or water on the windscreen.

_{Available on the Elite & Highlander variants.}

A joy to ride.

Built on a high safety, lightweight body, and with three drive modes (Comfort, Eco and Sport) to choose from, the Kona is a joy to drive. Choose from either the 2.0L MPi 2WD with 6-speed automatic, or the 1.6L Turbo GDi AWD with 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. Powerful, efficient, responsive and downright fun, the Kona really does encourage you to live a more vibrant life.

Performance features.

Top

1.6 Turbo-GDi petrol engine.

The Gamma 1.6 Turbo-GDi engine uses a mixed-flow turbocharger that delivers sharp throttle response, impressive low-end torque, as well as surprising fuel economy. With an impressive output of 130 kW of power and 265 Nm of torque available over a wide 1,500 rpm – 4,500 rpm torque band, the Gamma 1.6 T-GDi offers 18% more power and 47% more torque than the 2.0 MPi engine.

2.0 MPi petrol – 6AT.

The Nu 2.0 MPi engine uses Atkinson cycle technology to deliver improved fuel economy as a result of the unit’s greater thermal efficiency. Furthermore, with a power output of 110kW and 180 Nm of torque, everyday driveability is ensured.

7 speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).

Available exclusively on the the Gamma 1.6 T-GDi, the 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) combines the fuel efficiency of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic transmission. The DCT is responsive during spirited driving (particularly when down-shifting), yet still offers the smooth-shifting characteristics that are desired for everyday commuting.

6 speed automatic.

Available with the Nu 2.0 MPi engine, the 6-speed automatic utilises a compact, lightweight design with a multi-plate clutch torque converter for improved fuel efficiency. For a sporty driving experience, a sequential manual mode is also available, and is activated via the gear lever.

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Drive modes - Comfort, Eco & Sport.

The Kona is as versatile as you are – ready to go wherever you go, whenever you want to go there. To make the most of every journey, the Kona features three distinct driving modes. Comfort takes on everyday driving with ease, Eco keeps your fuel use to a minimum, while Sport gives you the power and crisp responses you need to tackle any adventure.

_{Highlander variant shown.}

AWD transmission.

With its AWD transmission, the Kona loves a challenge. And as comfortable as it is tackling city traffic, it also loves getting dirty. The electronic AWD system automatically divides traction between the front and rear wheels depending on conditions and driving parameters, allowing for all power to go to the front wheels or in a 50:50 split. When conditions get really tough, turning on Lock Mode applies 50:50 balance of traction to the front and rear wheels so you can take on sandy beaches and dirt roads.

Safety matters.

There are two things we take very seriously – fun, and safety. The Kona is fun to drive, but it’s comforting to know that no matter where life takes you, you’re protected by modern safety features, including Hyundai SmartSense^TM.

Safety features.

Top

5 star ANCAP safety rating (tested 2017).

With a 5 star ANCAP safety rating (tested 2017) and 6 airbags, the Kona will give you peace of mind whilst on your journey. It includes dual front airbags (driver & front passenger), front side thorax airbags (driver & front passenger) and side curtain airbags (1st & 2nd row).

_{Highlander variant shown.}

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

Having the right tyre pressure is more than just good for your tyres and fuel economy – it’s a safety issue too. The Kona’s Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) displays the pressure for each individual tyre on the instrument cluster, warning the driver if pressure drops.

Driver Attention Warning (DAW).

A driver protection feature which helps monitor driving patterns in order to detect reckless or fatigued driving and prevent potential accidents. The system analyses various vehicle signals such as steering angle, steering torque, vehicle's positioning in the lane and driving time. If the system detects inattentive driving patterns, an audible sound and message on the display panel will bring this to the driver’s attention.

_{Available on the Go with safety, Active with safety, Elite & Highlander variants.}

Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW).

When driving at a speed of 30km/h or higher, the BCW function will alert the driver to vehicles that enter the blind spot, including during lane changes.

_{Available on the Go with safety, Active with safety, Elite & Highlander variants.}

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)

Combining radar and camera data, the FCA system autonomously activates the brakes when it detects dangerous and sudden braking by the car ahead or pedestrians on the road.

_{Available on the Go with safety, Active with safety, Elite & Highlander variants.}

High Beam Assist (HBA).

Remembering to turn high beam on and off at night can be a challenge. Available as part of the LED headlamp option, the High Beam Assist system recognises oncoming vehicles and automatically switches between high and low beams at night.

_{Available on the Highlander variant.}

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA).

LKA provides steering intervention to assist the vehicle to stay in the centre of the lane. When the vehicle strays from the intended lane without indicators being activated, an audible and visual warning will be sounded.

_{Available on the Go with safety, Active with safety, Elite & Highlander variants.}

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW).

When you’re reversing, it’s hard to see everything that’s happening around you. That’s why Kona introduces Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning (RCCW). Using the Blind Spot Detection system’s radar sensors, RCCW monitors the area to the left and right and warns you if there’s traffic approaching on either side.

_{Available on the Go with safety, Active with safety, Elite & Highlander variants.}

Rear view camera.

The Kona is equipped with rear parking sensors and a rear view camera on your touchscreen display so that you can feel confident every time you’re reversing or reverse parking in tight places.
