As one of the most impressively growing and improving brands on the market, Hyundai is ready to offer us the newest member of its vehicle lineup at the bottom of the size structure for the SUVs that are built. This new model, that\u2019s already being sold in markets around the world, is the Hyundai Kona. The Kona made its debut recently at the Los Angeles Auto Show to give us a look at what will be offered at the dealerships in the US in the first quarter of 2018 to give us this new model to drive.<\/p>\n
The Hyundai Kona brings us a new design language for the brand and heads to the area of the market called the\u00a0 (CUV) to be a model that\u2019s tailored to what we clamor for when it\u2019s time to drive. More and more, we\u2019re turning to these small SUV models to give us the size that\u2019s just a little larger than hatchbacks while offering the versatility of the cabin area that we want and can\u2019t find in a sedan. The Kona brings us what we\u2019re looking for from a brand that we admire as one of the more affordable brands we can choose from.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re ready to have an SUV at this part of the market, you need to check out the Kona and see what it offers for the drive. This Hyundai SUV<\/a> is offered as standard fare with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder Atkinson cycle engine that offers you 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque.

The standard engine uses a six-speed automatic transmission and the turbo model is attached to a seven-speed EcoShift dual clutch automatic transmission.<\/p>\n Step into the cabin of the Hyundai Kona and you\u2019ll see a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This system allows you to enjoy Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. You\u2019ll also see a four-inch color LCD gauge cluster, enjoy a power driver\u2019s seat, leather heated seats, automatic climate controls, and a proximity key. There are options you can experience such as a Head-Up Display to make it easier for you to see the look you want and enjoy the readout that will help you on the roads that you drive every day.<\/p>\n Some of the advanced safety items you\u2019ll find in the new Kona include forward collision avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, high beam assist, and driver attention warnings.
