Hyundai Kona is assertive with its renewed design

Switching to the second generation, Hyundai Kona is shaped on genes similar to the Ioniq family and Staria with its futuristic lines.

The wind of change effect continues in Hyundai, which has recently turned its face in a completely different direction on the design side with the cars it has put on the asphalt. Giving the signals that he will carry traces of Staria with the images that emerged during the testing process during the year, Kona revealed his character with the first official images shared today. The Hyundai Kona, which appeals to a wide audience due to the fact that it is offered for sale as fully electric as well as gasoline and diesel, will switch to its second generation with the 2023 model year.

Hyundai Kona also carries improvements in size

Developed based on an all-electric model, the new generation carries the futuristic genes of the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Staria family. The model, which has been upgraded compared to the previous generation, will have a universal architecture and engine types and versions that appeal to different tastes. The model, whose future is announced with hybrid electric and internal combustion engine options, especially fully electric, will also have an N Line version for those who want a more sporty look and drive.

Pixel graphic details on the exterior of the vehicle are supported by pixel-inspired 19-inch alloy wheels. The car, which can be purchased with optional black side mirrors and roof color, will also come with a body kit with wider air intakes in the N Line version. The N Line version is equipped with a dual output end muffler and silver-coloured side sills.

Improvements await us in the interior of the new Kona, as well. Designed to be 150 mm longer than the previous generation to provide maximum living space, the total length of the model has been increased to 4,355 mm, while its width has increased by 25 mm and the wheelbase has increased by 60 mm compared to the previous model. When we look at the first details shared on the cockpit side, the impression of high-tech mobility comes to the fore thanks to the 12.3-inch double wide screens and the floating cockpit design. While the ambient lighting increases the user experience and comfort, a larger interior volume is obtained thanks to the gear lever moved from the center console to the back of the steering wheel.
