2018 Hyundai Kona

Serving Capitol Heights, Washington D.C., and Arlington

The all-new 2018 Hyundai Kona has become one of the most anticipated vehicles of the year. Its lengthy list of modern features and sporty performance will appeal to a lot of today’s drivers. High-energy styling makes this subcompact crossover even more tempting. Several bold paint colors will be offered, including Lime Twist and Surf Blue. Hyundai's class-leading, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty sweetens the deal. Let’s take a look at the 2018 Hyundai Kona’s key highlights.

Performance

You will have two fuel-efficient engines to choose from. Developing a total of 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, the base four-cylinder engine is bound to be a popular choice. Although the official fuel economy numbers have yet to be released, you can expect the Kona to rank among the class leaders. If you want to have even more fun, step up to the turbocharged engine. It is rated to produce a potent 175 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. Along with the additional power comes a seven-speed DCT automatic transmission. The crossover’s lightweight design and punchy engine promote especially strong acceleration. Sharp handling gives the Kona another measure of driving excitement.

Interior and Features

Don’t underestimate the Kona’s compact dimensions. It will still offer a top-notch degree of passenger comfort. Leather seating surfaces are found on the higher trim levels. With an impressive 19.2 cubic feet of available cargo space, the Kona can definitely hold a lot of extra stuff. Easy-to-use interior controls give you another reason to love the new Kona. Even the base model comes standard with plenty of high-tech goodies, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. While the standard 7.0-inch touch screen will satisfy most drivers, a larger 8.0-inch display is paired with Hyundai’s premium Blue Link infotainment system. Some of the other upgrades include 4G Wi-Fi connectivity, wireless smartphone charging, and a heads-up display.

Safety

Like every other vehicle in Hyundai’s lineup, the Kona is engineered to provide superior impact protection. When backing out of tight spots, the available backup camera will greatly enhance your visibility. You also have access to several advanced driving aids. When traveling on multi-lane highways, the blind-spot monitor’s Lane Change Assist feature gives you an extra peace of mind. Meanwhile, the driver attention warning system constantly keeps taps on your level of alertness. Automatic emergency braking, lane departure intervention, and high-beam assist are available as well.
