The 2017 Hyundai Kona was introduced in Korea and the North American and the European continents followed later that year. It completed the SUV lineup in the Korean car-maker stable.
The Hyundai Kona came late to the party in 2017. While most of the other European car-makers already had something to offer with more affordable or more expensive models, the Kona tried to make its own path by offering an outrageous design and a good platform. It was a direct competitor with the Nissan Juke, Seat Arona, Dacia Duster, and Peugeot 2008.
The front of the car featured two light strips on the upper part, as daytime running lights. The actual headlights were mounted in the front bumper. Even if it featured five air-intakes on the bumper, only three of them were used for something. Those from the sides were completely useless.
Inside, the Hyundai designers managed to offer enough room for five passengers and decent trunk size. The dashboard was simple and featured the navigation screen (offered as an option) on top of the center stack. It wasn't the best place, but it was the most affordable one.
The Kona was available with a choice of two exclusively gasoline engines and a hybrid version. Later on, a full electric version was introduced.
