Confident Fuel-Sipping Performance

The Kona comes in several trims with different powertrains. The SE and SEL trims come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. It also comes in the N Line and Limited trims with a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder.

The Kona N Line and Limited trims deliver 195 horsepower with matching torque. Drivers who choose the SE or SEL trims get an Intelligent Variable Automatic Transmission while the N Line and Limited trims have a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. All trims come standard with front-wheel drive, but buyers can upgrade to all-wheel drive.

The Kona also comes with a 64-kWh battery-powered electric motor with an estimated 258-mile range. The fuel-sipping Kona delivers an EPA-estimated 30/35 MPG in the SE and SEL trims, while the 195-horsepower turbo-charged 2.0-liter delivers an EPA-estimated 29/35 MPG.

Safety & Driver-Assistive Technology

All trims come with respectable safety features like advanced airbag systems, Electronic Stability Control, Anti-Lock Braking System, Traction Control, Brake Assist, and Vehicle Stability Control. For added safety, all models come with LED daytime running lights. To get the latest driver-assistive technology, buyers have to add packages or buy the SEL, N-Line, or Limited Trim.

The SEL and N-Line trims come standard with Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. The Limited trim comes loaded with more safety features that are optional on the other trims.

They include Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Driver Attention Warning, and Parking Distance Warning. The Limited trim also comes with Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go (Hyundai’s version of Adaptive Cruise Control), High Beam Assist, and Highway Drive Assist.

High-Tech Infotainment Features

Kona’s inviting interior includes an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment with a handful of shortcut buttons. The user-friendly menus and intuitive systems let drivers and passengers access popular features like Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. All trims have dual front USB outlets.

The Limited trim comes with a 10.3-inch infotainment screen that is optional on the N Line. Buyers who choose the top two trims get an eight-speaker Harman Kardon Premium Audio with Clari-Fi Music Restoration Technology.

These two 2022 Hyundai Kona trims also come with Hyundai’s Blue Link Connected Car System for three years. Blue Link services let drivers use remote start, door lock and unlock, on-demand diagnostics, and car finder. Most notably, it gives drivers the Destination Search feature that syncs with your navigation system to access favorite routes and save multiple destinations.

Attractive and Sporty Interior and Exterior Styling

The 2022 Kona might be a subcompact crossover, but the roomy interior is far from compact. It has room for five with a 60/40 folding rear seat that provides 19.2 cubic feet of space with the seats upright versus 45.8 cubic feet of expanded cargo area with the seats down.

For comfort, the SE and SEL come with attractive cloth seating, while buyers who choose the N Line get special sport-styled heated cloth seats.
