Design

One of the most impressive aspects of the Hyundai Kona is its exterior design which boasts a bold and athletic stance that exudes confidence and power. The front fascia features a cascading grille, sleek headlights, and sculpted lines that give it a sporty edge. The body is compact and agile, making it perfect for navigating the streets of Oak Lawn or long stretches of road around Calumet City.

The spacious cabin has a range of modern amenities Oak Park car buyers will love, including an easy-to-use infotainment system and supportive, plush seats with plenty of legroom and headroom for passengers in the front and rear seats.

Performance

The SE and SEL models have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that provides 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and a front-wheel or optional all-wheel drive.

The N Line and Limited trims get a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 195 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The N trim has a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 286 horsepower and 289 pound-feet of torque with a temporary boost, making it a true powerhouse on the road. The eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission ensures smooth and precise gear changes, while the sport-tuned suspension and braking system provides ultimate handling and control.

Trim Level Overview

The Hyundai Kona is a versatile and capable SUV with five distinct trim levels: the SE, SEL, N Line, and N. Each trim offers unique features and capabilities to suit various driving preferences and needs.

SE

Standard base SE trim level equipment includes 16-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors, a height-adjustable driver's seat, an 8-inch touchscreen, a rear USB port, a six-speaker audio system, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.

Safety is also a top priority, with forward collision mitigation, lane departure mitigation, lane keeping system, blind-spot warning with a rear cross-traffic warning, and a safe-exit system coming standard on the SE.

SEL

The SEL trim level takes the SE to the next level with standard features like 17-inch wheels, remote engine start, roof rails, tinted rear windows, keyless entry and ignition, and a power-adjustable driver's seat.

For those seeking even more features, the SEL offers a convenient package that includes a sunroof, automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with a navigation system, and a wireless charging pad.

N Line

The N Line trim level is designed for those who prefer a sportier SUV. It adds the Convenience package, unique 18-inch wheels, restyled bumpers and grille, a digital instrument panel, upgraded cloth upholstery, and more.

Limited

The Limited trim level is an excellent option for extra features. Equipped with the same turbo engine as the N Line, the Limited trim level adds features such as automatic wipers and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
