For many years, the Kona has been a popular vehicle around North Hampton. People have appreciated its affordability, versatile cabin, and advanced technology. At our dealership, we're pleased that Hyundai has continued to make improvements to this vehicle. The company redesigned the 2024 Hyundai Kona so that it offers more interior space and features more modern elements.
Design
The new Kona feels quite spacious. When traveling around Epping, you and your front passenger can enjoy having almost 42 inches of leg room. Those riding in the back can stretch out, too, as they'll have 38.2 inches of leg room. Since the cargo hold in the back of the cabin has a volume of 25.5 cubic feet, you can easily transport a variety of items. Whenever you need to, feel free to lower the rear seats. This would increase the cargo capacity to 63.7 cubic feet.
The Kona's cabin can feature many high-end amenities. For instance, it's available with leatherette seating upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heated and ventilated front seats. An available auto-dimming rearview mirror can be nice to have when driving through York, ME at night, and when you're trying to keep everyone comfortable, the optional dual-zone automatic climate control system can come in handy.
Technology and Safety
In terms of technology, the Hyundai Kona really shines. It comes standard with two USB ports in the front row as well as two USB charging ports in the second row. Its digital instrument gauge can either measure 4.2 or 12.3 inches, and it can provide you with useful information regarding range, efficiency, and performance. The center touchscreen is featured prominently in the cabin. It measures 12.3 inches and comes with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD Radio, and SiriusXM. You'll have many ways to stay entertained when you're on the road, and you'll be able to safely keep in touch with others since the Hyundai Kona allows you to make hands-free phone calls and send texts by using voice commands. Many of the available Hyundai Konas are further equipped with navigation, Wi-Fi connectivity, and wireless charging pads. Having so many programs and features integrated into your vehicle can enhance the driving experience.
Technology also plays a role in the Kona's safety package. This vehicle is fortunate to have driver-assist technologies that can help you stay out of trouble. Monitoring systems can detect a variety of issues and will alert you to them, and mitigation systems can correct your steering or braking if certain situations require action to be taken. The standard programs that come with the Kona include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, emergency braking, and lane keep assist.
Performance
You can drive a Hyundai Kona confidently around Portsmouth, knowing that it's powered by a capable engine. It's actually available with two different engines. The first, which is found in the SE and SEL trims, has a displacement of two liters. It can make 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. In comparison, the N Line and Limited trims run on turbocharged 1.6-liter engines that generate 190 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. The standard engine works with an intelligent variable transmission, while the turbocharged version has been matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Also note that all-wheel drive is an option to consider.
Exterior Features
The Hyundai Kona makes a strong impression anywhere it goes. Its front light bar and narrow LED lights make it seem futuristic. It rides on aluminum-alloy wheels that can be 17, 18, or 19 inches in diameter, and for convenience, the headlights and high beams can turn on and off automatically.
