Hyundai has finally presented the second generation of its urban crossover Kona. The car has become 150 mm longer and 25 mm wider. The wheelbase has grown by 60 mm. This improved the ergonomics of the cab and brought it into line with modern ideas about comfort. Naturally, large monitors and other attributes of the information saturation of mobility appeared. In terms of powertrains, the Kona can be equipped with both an internal combustion engine and a hybrid powerplant. Naturally, there will be a fully electric version, and even a sports version – N Line.

There is no official information yet on the technical characteristics of the novelty, but the AvtoVzglyad portal suggests that the electric version will have two options for engines with a capacity of 99 and 150 kW. Well, when it comes to the internal combustion engine, the Koreans have a rich choice. From the liter Kappa II T-GDi I3 to the 2 liter Smartstream G2.0 MPi I4. And they probably won’t invest in developing something new. Also, most likely, the car will be offered to potential customers in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. But most importantly, we repeat, the Koreans have taken a bold step by transferring the design ideas tested on their Staria minivan to the Kona. What now looks like some kind of urban robocop. The timing of the appearance of new items on the market has not yet been announced.
