The 2026 Hyundai Kona represents a refreshed generation of this distinctively styled subcompact crossover. Available in SE, SEL, N Line, and Limited trim levels, Kona offers a 147-hp 2.0L four-cylinder engine for the base trims and a spritely 195-hp 1.6L turbocharged engine for the N Line and Limited trims, both paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional throughout the range. Kona impresses with its standard safety pack, including forward collision warning with automatic braking, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assist. Tech highlights include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and an optional 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The 2026 model year brings a revitalized exterior style and interior refinements, enhancing Kona’s appeal in its busy segment.
