Performance That Inspires Confidence   

Powertrain Options for Every Adventure   

The 2026 Hyundai KONA offers 2 dynamic engine options. The standard 2.0L MPI 4-cylinder engine is paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission to deliver 147 hp, ensuring smooth and efficient performance for daily commutes. If you crave an adrenaline surge, the 1.6L turbocharged GDI engine amps that up to 190 hp, paired with an 8-speed automatic for a drive that’s sure to thrill. On top of that, this SUV offers up to 31 MPG combined.

With the available HTRAC AWD® (all-wheel drive), this adventurous little SUV handles various terrains with ease, from snowy roads to gravel paths. The KONA’s performance inspires confidence every step of the way.   

Agile Handling Meets Comfort   

The KONA’s high-strength steel body and advanced suspension system provide a perfect balance of agility and comfort. Its compact size makes it easy to maneuver through tight city streets, while its elevated ground clearance ensures you’re ready for any outdoor adventure.   

Advanced Technology for a Connected Drive   

Intuitive Infotainment Features   

Tech got a serious overhaul for the 2026 year, and wow does it show as soon as you open the door. Higher trims show off a sweeping panoramic display comprised of dual 12.3” interfaces—an infotainment touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster. The 2026 Hyundai KONA comes standard with a 12.3” touchscreen display featuring wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration for simple access to your apps, playlists, and more.

Bluelink+ Connected Car Services   

Hyundai’s Bluelink+ technology takes convenience to the next level. From remotely starting your vehicle to locking and unlocking doors via your smartphone, Bluelink+ offers unmatched connectivity at no extra cost for 3 years.

Safety That Goes Beyond Expectations   

Hyundai SmartSense® Features   

The 2026 Hyundai KONA is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+, equipped with the Hyundai SmartSense® suite of safety features designed to protect you and your passengers. Standard features include:   

– Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection   

– Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist   

– Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist   

– Blind-Spot Collision Warning   

For added peace of mind, the Limited trim offers premium safety technologies like Highway Driving Assist and Remote Smart Parking Assist, taking all the guesswork out of your most stressful situations.   

America’s Best Warranty   

Hyundai backs the KONA with America’s Best Warranty, including a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and 5 years of unlimited roadside assistance. This comprehensive coverage ensures worry-free ownership for years to come.   

Spacious Design Meets Everyday Versatility   

Interior Comfort and Cargo Space   

Despite its compact footprint, the 2026 Hyundai KONA offers a surprisingly spacious interior. With seating for up to five passengers and up to 63.7 cu. ft. of cargo space when the rear seats are folded down, this adventurous small SUV is ready for everything from grocery runs to road trips.   

Premium trims like the SEL Premium and Limited add luxurious touches such as H-Tex leatherette-trimmed seats, ambient interior lighting, and a hands-free smart liftgate for added convenience.   

Exterior Style That Stands Out   

The bold design of the KONA is a head-spinning experience in itself. Its futuristic style starts with the full-width Horizon LED thin light bar across the front and rear of the vehicle, and extends to active grille shutters, up to 19” alloy wheels, and available rugged black cladding or N-Line detailing. Every inch makes a statement. And with colors like Neoteric Yellow, Soultronic Orange Pearl, and Mirage Green, you’re a force to be reckoned with on the road.
