Respected industry experts from U.S. News & World Report and Car & Driver are writing the praises of Hyundai's new models. Today we're talking about the new Hyundai Kona and the new Hyundai Sonata, both available at Hampton Hyundai in North Hampton, NH and both rated near the top in very competitive categories.
The new Hyundai Kona: Ranked among the best subcompact SUVs
The first thing you'll admire about the new 2021 Hyundai Kona is the same thing car critics admire: The Kona's sporty, confident looks. But the new Kona is more than just a pretty face. The handling is authoritative and the available turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates a muscular 175 horsepower. Since Hyundai invests generously inside, the interior is handsome and comfortable for four en route to Epping, NH or Newburyport MA.
The Kona Interior
The materials used on the inside are well above what you'd expect in an affordable subcompact, Seating ergonomics enhance everyone's ride, whether the journey is short or long. The driver's interior world is simple and user-friendly. Easy-to-read analog gauges produce a single nugget of information, so you're not being distracted and the steering wheel is covered in genuine leather.
Kona Infotainment
Lower-level trims utilize a standard 7.0-inch touchscreen while a bigger 8.0-inch touchscreen greets drivers of higher-trim Ultimate models. Also in the Ultimate-level Kona, a head-up display can put driving directions right in front of you in a discreet spot on the windshield. That's where you can also find valuable data like your vehicle speed. Smartphone integration is standard even in the three lower trims, so you can control apps with your voice.
Kona Safety
The Kona has impressed, not only experts from car publications, but also experts from the world of automotive safety. The leading national highway traffic organization gave the 2021 Hyundai Kona its highest rating, while the insurance industry highway safety organization did the same thing, naming the new Kona one of its elite Top Safety Pick+ honorees. That should be comforting as you and your family drive to York ME or Portsmouth NH.
The new Hyundai Sonata: Another Hyundai winner
Like its smaller cousin the Kona, the new Hyundai Sonata shows a lot of good taste and craftsmanship. Editors were especially pleased with the high level of interior luxury and refinement in the latest Sonata. At the Sonata's affordable price, that perception of quality translated into the Sonata being viewed as an exceptional value. The Sonata offers three economical hybrids and an engine that's high-performance.
Sonata fuel efficiency
As you would expect, the new Sonata for 2022 delivers exceptional combined gas-and-electric fuel economy with its three hybrid powertrains. Best of the bunch is the Hyundai Sonata Blue model with as much as 50 miles to the gallon in cities and a gratifying 54 miles to the gallon out on the highway. The other two hybrids are expected to register nearly-equal combined efficiency of around 51 miles with every gallon on the highway.
