Interior Design & Seating

The 2024 Kona boasts a significantly more spacious interior compared to its previous-generation model, a result of its stretched wheelbase and increased overall body length. This redesign allows for greater comfort, particularly for rear-seat passengers, who benefit from the additional legroom provided by the slimmer front seat-back design. The interior of the 2024 Kona is a blend of straightforward functionality and futuristic flair, enhanced by rich ambient lighting that creates a sophisticated atmosphere. The inclusion of a column-mounted shifter and the availability of luxurious leather upholstery further elevate the driving experience, making the Kona both practical and stylish. Hyundai's attention to detail in the design ensures that the 2024 Kona offers a premium feel without compromising on space and comfort.

Infotainment & Features

Dominating the dashboard of the 2024 Kona are dual 12.3-inch displays, seamlessly integrated behind a single continuous piece of glass. The first of these screens serves as a reconfigurable gauge display, providing drivers with customizable and easily accessible information. The second screen is a large touchscreen dedicated to the infotainment system, ensuring an intuitive and engaging user experience. Anticipated in this setup is an updated version of Hyundai's user interface, which promises enhanced functionality and ease of use. Additionally, expectations are high for the inclusion of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, further elevating the Kona's connectivity and convenience features. This advanced digital cockpit exemplifies Hyundai's commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology with sleek design.

Cargo Capacity

The redesigned 2024 Hyundai Kona boasts a significantly enhanced cargo capacity, largely attributed to its overall increase in body length. This new model offers an impressive 25.5 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats, making it ideal for daily errands and weekend adventures alike. For those needing even more room, folding down the rear seats expands the cargo area to a generous 63.7 cubic feet, accommodating larger items and bulkier loads with ease. This substantial improvement elevates the Kona from its previous position at the bottom of the subcompact SUV class in terms of cargo space, to now being one of the most spacious and versatile options in the segment. The 2024 Kona's redesigned interior ensures it meets the diverse needs of modern drivers, offering both ample storage and exceptional functionality.

Engine

The 2024 Kona retains both four-cylinder engines from its previous generation. The base model features a 147-hp 2.0-liter engine, while a turbocharged 190-hp 1.6-liter engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission is available as an option. In prior testing, the Kona equipped with the 2.0-liter engine achieved a 60-mph time of 9.2 seconds. Anticipations are that the new Kona will deliver slightly improved performance with the base engine. However, the optional turbo engine demonstrated a slower 60-mph time of 7.5 seconds compared to 7.3 seconds in the previous model, likely due to the transition from a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic to an eight-speed automatic. Despite the increase in size, handling remains agile, though the larger second-generation model has lost some of its original on-road charm.

Performance & MPG

The EPA rates the 2024 Kona's fuel economy as high as 29 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. However, opting for all-wheel drive and the more powerful turbo engine reduces these figures to 24 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.

Safety Features

Every Kona model includes a range of driver-assistance features. While standard options like automated emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring are widely available, the Kona also offers advanced features such as a driver-monitoring system and a self-parking capability. For detailed information on the Kona's crash test results, refer to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features include:

• Standard automated emergency braking
• Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
• Available adaptive cruise control
