KONA Gets an All-New Look for 2023:

The KONA has been reimagined for a new generation, boasting an enlarged urban-centric SUV design with enhanced styling and driver focus. Exceeding the dimensions of its predecessor by 150mm in length, 25mm width and 60 mm wheelbase without compromising on iconic features – this impressive model offers optimised living space to create unforgettable journeys ahead.

Hyundai’s design strategy for the KONA was anything but conventional. With an EV-first approach, they were able to leverage tech-centric thinking across each variant of the vehicle and create a distinctively futuristic look – regardless if it had an electric motor or traditional engine. From hybrid models to ultra sporty N Line versions, every KONA offers up aggressive styling that stands out from today’s crowd of cars on the road.

The all-new KONA’s design is a perfect balance between the future and SUV fundamentals. Its dynamic styling features an aerodynamic front section outfitted with Hyundai’s first Pixelated Seamless Horizon Lamp that evokes its status in their popular EV lineup. For additional emphasis, wheel arch cladding featuring integrated headlamps and taillamps gives the vehicle added robustness. With these elements working together, this model packs both style and substance for any adventure you pursue.

The KONA has been reimagined with an expanded interior ‘living space’. Its new EV-derived architecture features a slim and wide cabin for a lifestyle-focused experience.

For those tech-savvy drivers, 12.3-inch dual displays are centred around a high-grade floating module to give your ride that futuristic feel with ambient lighting perfecting it all off!

Also featured is shift-by wire conveniently placed behind the steering wheel freeing up storage in between you and your passengers leaving more room for essential items on long journeys.

More details of all-new Hyundai KONA will be unveiled in the coming months.
